Greenberg and Annessley pretty much saying season is continuing as normal behind closed doors. They are "considering" every option put forward by players, coaches and staff. Also say that if NZ decide to go home after this weekend it is possible for them to continue the competition without them.

Pretty much one day and one step at a time.

All the cool kids with 860 odd

When in doubt add another gun!

Just looking at random(ish) sample of forwards alone...

Discussed Gun Enablers

Guler 55
Katoa 43
JTB 35
Collins 35
Lisone 34
Rudolf 30
Musgrove 13
Average: 35


Popular Middies
Ese’ese 15
Stimson 24
Molo 24
Hess 28
Williams 37
Cartwright 41
Horse 59
Average: 32

Middies being sub 500k. Could expand upwards to a Leilua or further to Knight, but the sample of rookies and base price just isn’t big enough. I didn’t include Carrigan in the middies as he doesn’t count this year as a team makeup differential, as one of very few insta/auto-picks!

The answer was always there,

always the same.......

I just annoyingly strayed a little this year to owning 4 of said middie bastards ..........

I'm not sure what everyone else opinion is, but Tariq was trying his best to injure J Reynolds on Sunday.

With everything that is going on with concussions and player safety, surely that type of targeted onslaught should be stopped. I love a good scrap, but he was putting huge shots on him when he was at his most vulnerable.

I also can't stand Jrey, but man it was so malicious. If i was a parent watching a game of NRL at that was my son being targeted like that, I'd be fuming.

Agreed. I will only sell Stimson if there is a must have cheapie and he's the only way. The whole game was scrappy and low scoring so happy with how the minutes played out. Flicking Levi as I expected improvement behind a quality pack. Oh well

Anyone got advice on Horsey? Didn't go with him due to expecting Bateman back early but not sure how it's actually affecting the team.

Ref trades, play as usual I think. But don't trade anyone in who is there due to another player being injured. Personally, I'm going to play like this is the last round of the yearly have as much fun possible

They got a W last night. You don't think they won't persist with Jrey and Benji?

Well that's he job to smash the opposition & obliterate them. Have you ever played league because when I did you're always trying to take the opposition out & if they get injured & have to go off then it's a job well done. Similar to TPJ at the Broncos it's T. Sims' job at the Dragons to be the enforcer & push the limit of legality.

There's plenty of jobs where employees get relocated overseas & they don't see their families for months & they don't complain because if the employee said to his boss I don't want to because I'll miss my family he'd be down the road.
So Warriors players go to a hardware store, buy some cement, swallow & harden the phuck up.

Now I’m looking and it says I’ve lost 912-911 but I’m still first o the ladder?? What’s happening and who won. Since when do they update after lockout and results are done lol.

Would say so... very similar to before Titans were a part of the comp.
