Legend - JHopo gets another week in the Bludgers then.
-1 BE means even a 30 would mean $35k price bump.

I wouldn't be putting him in your 17 unless he starts, no need to trade yet though.

I hope Carrigan fights it. He either gets off and plays or misses two games and I'll trade him. 1 week is a pisser.

I’m actually doing rather well in a cash tipping comp for once in my life and 6/6 this week.
I have a sneaky feeling about Manly getting up over the Raiders. Manly are scrappy and just never go away, finish with a wet sail and the Raiders havnt looked themselves. 90% of tips are for the Raiders So there is a bit of nervousness about going against the grain (high risk / high reward). Apart from “go with your gut”, does anybody have any strong opinions on the game about to unfold.

Or for lazy Kent’s....

Don’t take my advice as picked Cowboys and Storm this weekend already

The Bludger wrote:Anyone guess on the chances JHopo has of jagging a place on the Broncos bench?? Yes, he's an edge forward, and Carrigan and Fleg are middles, but with their injuries and suspensions, what do you think, Siebs gives him a reprieve. (Wishful thinking...)

He is actually a middle forward.

Wil probably come onto the bench.

Kennedy will definitely come in. Hoppa should take the other vacated spot. Only other option is bullemor really.

Brown isn’t that bad

He coached a Dragons team that was a game short of a couple of GFs, and it really was too soon for him to be coach.

Huddersfield ran better than usual with him, St Helens got a title

Newcastle were a dumpster fire and he deserves some credit for laying the foundations for what’s happening there this season. Most of the players were his signings, including attracting Ponga.

He seems like the middle 90% of Ricky Stuart coaching career tbf. There’s a fine line between success and failure.

Also it’s the Warriors, unless they go completely left field who are they getting

Brown is a decent coach and Warriors ain’t getting A Bellamy are they. Agree with him laying the foundations for this good Newcastle side. We could do far worse than Brown

Neil Henry is another one the Warriors could go for, he rebuilt the Cowboys from being total shit, then rebuilt the Titans until Hanye came in and got him sacked.

Nathan Brown is at the Warriors now isn’t he

The issue is if you have someone who has no players who were involved in a cancelled game and another player has say 4 players from that side then that player is gonna be greatly upset and they will put complaints in, I have no doubts about that. Then the ones in power may be pressured into doing something like what the AFL are doing with their SuperCoach.

Which do you think is more worthy of complaint?

Getting a score of 0 when your player doesn't play

Your opponent getting a score of 60 from a player who doesn't play

i mean lots o fpeople might have to play with less than 17 next week due to injuries. Can I get an average for Tedesco if he pulls out due to concussion? Its a bit unfair otherwise

May have no choice,
current Forwards are:
Koro/Grant
Haas JTB
Lolo Carrigan Katoa

Bench:
Guler
JHopo

missed Lucy, Twal, Horse etc. etc.

Backs:
Cleary / Moses
Best / Crichton
Teddy / Ponga / Pappi

Bench:
Mann
Paix
Luai
Kennedy
Averillo

Missed some of the current crop of performing cows, but felt their JS wasn't good enough...
Clune / Fog / Coates / Hammer etc. and after wasting way too many trades trying to fix the stink-hole that is Centre (the Widow, Capewell etc.) I'm stuck with not enough forward cover and weak centres anyway...oh and bleeding cash from Pappy & Guler.

Any ideas??
I'm thinking Paix & Guler to a DPP forward who has JS (to keep as cover) someone like Lawrie, or big Herman, or if possible Horse and add Herbie as a cheap cow option.

Neither. It’s those people who don’t put in all of the sachets with their instant ramen noodles. “Oh, it’s just a bit spicy” or “I really like the flavours but it’s too strong for me”

No. Be the pain. Build on the flavour. Take what the noodle gods gave you and create! Be the person shin ramyun knows you can be.








And yes, I have started drinking. Why do you ask?

Horse who has DPP would be a good choice. I wouldn't want to be playing Hoppa this week if he's coming off the bench, but you may have no choice like you said. If Guler gets another average score today I'd be cashing him out so you can upgrade someone to a second rower.

Yea he was mate, easier transition but I’d rather some longer term planning going on. Doubtful I know

Sorta glad I didn't buy Horse. That raiders bench really doesn't look good for him.

Levi to destroy raiders

I'm not a fan of getting in a failed coach, but yeah there aren't many options ATM. Will be interesting to see how Payten goes, got good wraps. If he gets extended, we really need to bring in a strong assistant. Also I hope an extension is 2 years max.

If we do bring in a failed coach, Brown seems early favourite, with already having a club connection. I'm not sold on him TBH, based on his NRL success. He's a good bloke and all, not sure that's what we need.

Kearney had to go, no doubt. Top bloke, but sub par coach. He built this team, and they are a 10-14 quality side. Interesting to see the Moses news, followed by Kearney getting sacked. The mole has a article saying how he was trying to screw us last season with Blair and Green involved. Wouldn't be surprised at all. The less amount of Moses related staff on the books, the better.

If it’s related to COVID that’s an unforeseen circumstance so honestly I dunno what the answer is.
