Yeah he has really stalled his price rises. I can’t do anything about him this week. Might look to upgrade him next round, which hurts after only owning him 2 weeks

Shouldn't lose any money so I'll give him a few more weeks to watch other cows rise while guns I want fall

Yeah mate he went off as a precaution due to back spasms and clearly BA didn’t want to risk Stefano in a tight game so that led to Brown 80.

Have had a go at this long term planning thing. Tear it apart if it doesn't make sense and I will have another crack. This is based on bringing in RTS and Havili this week. Still not sold on Havili but whoever I trade in will likely end up at 17/18 alongside Crichton so needs to be a reasonable scorer. Too low on trades to be bringing in cows right? (I have 11 after trades this week.)

Keepers:
Grant
Haas, D Saifiti
Jurbo, X, X
Cleary, Pearce
Ramien, Niu
Ponga, Pappy, RTS

JFH, Robson, X, Havili
S Crichton, X, X, X

Upgrading:
Lucy, Young, Brailey

Cashouts:
Sironen, Paix, HTF (though may hold him as he doesn't provide much cash)

So Lucy and Young become 2 keeper 2RFs. Plan was Tevaga next and DFifi the week after, but will see if the timeline matches up. Current prices put that as a 386k upgrade, but I'd say it would be closer to 300k.

I think Brailey needs to become a half. Will see who is around in 3 weeks. Can hopefully get a gun half to drop Pearce to the bench for ~100k.

Current bank of 200k, plus cashing out Sironen/Paix should cover those trades, and allow me to save a trade cashing out HTF. If all that goes to plan I would've used 5 trades, bringing me down to 6 to cover the final 6-7 rounds.

TU: Taupau and Clune to Hunt and cow (Starling,Rapana,Havili)
TD: Young and Luai to Hunt and cow(only Starling really for this option)

Penrith debutant Charlie Staines is also facing an uncertain short-term future after his club informed the NRL on Monday he had breached biosecurity protocols after his memorable debut on Saturday.

The 19-year-old hosted 10 visitors at his home after his four-try effort in the win over Cronulla, including his parents, his sister, the parents of his partner and four friends.

Players can host up to 10 visitors at their place of residence each day however those visitors must attend in groups of no more than five.

According to a Panthers statement, in the early hours of Sunday morning Staines suffered a recurrence of lockjaw, a condition he has dealt with previously, as recently as the 2020 pre-season.

According to the club, Staines attended the emergency department at Nepean Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning for treatment.

He was released some time later, but has been stood down from playing and training pending biosecurity advice as he did not inform the club regarding visitors or his medical treatment.

"Charlie has been extremely naive on this occasion and inadvertently breached the protocols that are in place to protect the game,” Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher said.

What a stupid cunt

With Hipgrave in doubt hopefully Fermor nails that spot.

I love the comment about lock-jaw... Pretty much the young bloke was on the nose beers and he couldn't stop biting his teeth off

hey all,

wondering what the brains trust thinks of the following. rank#40 and 9 trades left..

DCE - Hunt
Katoa - Fotu/Tko (anyone under 721k)

would leave a team of

Mcinnes
Fotu Haas
Matto Tapine Angus
Hunt Cleary
Lomax Talau
Paps Crichton Teddy

ROBSON, API, GRANT, CARRIGAN
Niu, Fermour, HTF, Paix

at the moment im playing a back as my 4th reserve and katoa has a big BE (but a great draw and POD).. wondering whether the trades are worth it with so few left

Basically DCE + Katoa v Hunt + Fotu (-2 trades) long term. TIA!

Talk about a rollercoaster weekend!

No idea who Rhys Walsh is, nor who else would be missing for us to debut a new winger

Kotoni Staggs to miss another week.

Rhys Walsh could make his debut. He’s training on the right wing for Broncos. Very talented 18-year-old.

White Lightning wrote:What a stupid cunt

Eh, he's 19 and if the rules for NRL are written like the rules for everyone else they will be vague and confusing. Just with a higher threshold. Basically he had 10 people per day, just at once instead of 2 lots of 5. He probably had about 100 knocking down his door, by all reports it was his family and closest mates.

Same as Best with meeting his parents at their house. Apparently ok if it was his house or a cafe. Again, only 18. I was pretty dumb at 18.

Herbie in doubt too

David Fifita no chance this week. Likely miss the week after too. Herbie Farnworth in doubt too. He’s left training.

I think I'd hold onto DCE

You could do Tapine + Katoa to Hunt + Butcher (without cash ITB, if you have cash ITB you could extend to different 2RF) and bring Crichton into starting WFB

Also could look at Havili if he starts to get better keeper.

Having no HLF cover is pretty risky, especially given you're trading out a keeper to do it

People are fucking idiots

Played oztag last night, and found out after the game that one of the opposition we played against had had a COVID test that day and was still awaiting results.
Dickhead jeopardised his own teammates, me and my friends, and the rest of the comp. And risks an $11,000 fine

Luckily results came back today negative, but makes me reconsider playing sport. If nobody else is gong to follow the rules, you are putting your well-being at the hands of random strangers

And if one guy did it and got found out, how many others are out there ignoring it undetected.

With cases starting to rise in NSW its only a matter of time before lockdown comes back.
