Its so dumb that trips are only fines.

A high tackle is at least an attempt at a legit play. A trip is just dirty and dangerous and not footy. Judiciary is stupid.

Anyway Ford should get a very large fine.

Teddy has ice on left knee and right ankle.

Rest week coming?

Still over 50s mate, priced accordingly due to his 94, 111, 82, 76 in 5 game span. Law of averages and scores from previous years means he’s probably due a few downers anyway. Still have to own him

Yeh i just mean that paying 900k plus for him would have hurt in other positions a month ago. To get some 50s from him was a win since RTS averaged 50 for me and I was able to bolster the squad in other areas.

850k obviously still expensive, he will be much cheaper next week, but at some point I had to bite the bullet. Risk vs reward etc. It was a defensively decision to bring him in

Others that waited longer are cheerin'

More good luck than good planning though so not too much cheering (still have the fear every week I haven’t had him)

Well you need a bit of luck.

The 70 average was unsustainable anyway.

Wasn't that this week?

Trips are such a deliberate, dangerous act, its crazy that they changed them to be just fines instead of suspensions.

I just had to write it down to make sure I wasn’t stuffing it up.

Well done on McInnes as captain.

Imo Friend, Hall and Ford should all get a weeks suspension.

Won’t happen though. The Rorters guys will probs both get off on minor fines as is pretty much always the case with them!

Jacob Liddle available for selection next week

Friend's tackle was borderline high to start with and wasn't malicious at all. Halls was also not malicious. Give Ford the lot the mutt!

Hall came in late and twisted his leg when the try was gonna be scored anyway.

Friend’s was late on a kicker, pretty sloppy it looked should get a week.

For those waiting mate he still has to revert back to monster scoring regardless. You just got unlucky this week.

12 points under Papy and his worse ever fantasy score. Papy overs on Teddy

Friend won't get anything for his.  Nothing in it.

As much in it for mine mate as the Su’a one, both were as late as each other except Friend caught Hunt high.

Do we think lam did enough to get another run, think it would be pretty harsh if robbo was being legit to drop him after that. Interesting times ahead

When Flanagan is back either next week or the week after Lam would revert back to 14.

Lam's kicks were absolutely cooked. In saying that they actually did do the job haha.
