If serious I'd usually be annoyed that I got rid of Wiliame 7 weeks into his 6 week injury layoff. But it's Wiliame so I'm actually relieved I don't ever have to consider playing him no matter how bad it gets for my squad.

Ryan Hall gave his already strapped leg a good twist then seeing him give the 100% in kick chasing then hobble back into the line, been waiting on news of him to miss this week, Harry Grant looked fine the week before but is out 4 weeks, Lomax may play this week but if not he can rehab in my EMG

Hmmm Tommy Talau might make a cameo appearance in my team if Lomax is sidelined

So there's actually no
on it. I mean I can see your point, the bloke does seem to be playing through the pain but fantasy aside he is actually become quite a formidable centre... even getting NSW chats on the weekend.

Oh yeah. I just assumed he was right cause he played on but he was in a bit of pain, so maybe it pulled up crook when he cooled down.

That sounds about how my season has gone, if a player doesn't get injured they somehow manage to get dropped.
Yeah, it's unfortunate for you that Mitch Kenny got dropped for some dude named Api!
Honestly mate, can't give you sympathy when you do trades like that.

Lomax probably didn't train with the group today so they assume he's out. Isn't that how these whispers work?

Haas and carrigan missed a week each too.
If Lomax does miss a game I really hope Wiliame takes his spot since I still have the goof.. looking forward to a solid 15 if so

Once Williame gets a sniff, lomax better be concerned

The full version of Wacko's Whispers for anyone that enjoys reading that dribble
- Spoiler:
Wacko’s Whispers Early Mail Round 14 2020
Roosters vs Storm
Roosters could welcome back a number of players if they can prove their fitness with Angus Crichton (knee), Boyd Cordner (concussion), Brett Morris (back), Daniel Tupou (ankle), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (calf) and Josh Morris (calf) all chances to return. Matt Ikuvalu failed to finish the Dragons game due to HIA and will need to pass required protocols to play. Ryan Hall and Jake Friend should both be free to play after being charged by the Match Review Committee providing they enter early guilty pleas, Friend took early guilty plea but Hall is going to the judiciary but will be free to play despite outcome. Kyle Flannagan could return after being dropped last week. Storm are coming into clash off a 5 day turn around which won’t help Cameron Muster after he suffered knee injury to same knee he injured earlier on in season on weekend in Bulldogs game on weekend and isn’t expected to recover but they welcome the return of both Dale Fincuane and Ryan Papenhuyzen after they were rested on weekend. Ryley Jacks or Nicho Hynes are options to replace Munster in halves. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui passed gameday HIA and should be right to play. Brenko Lee could return at right centre from a hand injury pushing Tom Eisenhuth back to the bench. Cameron Smith isn’t expected to recover from his shoulder injury.
Warriors vs Panthers
Warriors will be without Jack Hetherington after he was charged with a Grade 3 high tackle for tackle on Martin Taupau and with priors is looking at 4 weeks out with early guilty plea which is likely going to end his loan spell at Warriors, it will be interesting to see what interim coach Todd Payten decides what to do with Hetherington been playing right edge, does he move Tohu Harris back to edge but it’s more likely that he brings in either Jack Murchie or Isaiah Papali'I onto right edge. Eliesa Katoa suffered a knock which forced him from the field on weekend and didn’t return and could be in some doubt. Adam Pompey didn’t have the best game on weekend and could be replaced by either Gerard Beale or Adam Keighran. Panthers came through the Raiders game on weekend with no major injuries with Dylan Edwards an outside chance to return from hamstring injury after returning to training last week, still has to tick a few final boxes but with it being his 2nd hamstring injury of the season I expect him to be given another week. Brian To’o has returned to running after recovering from syndesmosis injury and could be named on extended bench. Dean Whare has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks as Panthers look to manage toe injury after suffering a setback when returning to training after thigh injury.
Eels vs Dragons
Eels are coming into this game off a 5 day turnaround after a good win over Sharks at a waterlogged NetStrata Jubilee Stadium on Sunday with no major injuries concerns to come out of the game with only possible change being Ryan Matterson could return if he can overcome issues due to concussion. Dragons will be without Tariq Sims due to shoulder injury suffered in the Roosters game with Tyrell Fuimaono to start at 2RF with Jacob Host coming onto bench. Will only be a matter of time until Tristian Sailor starts in halves which will allow Ben Hunt to move back to hooker and Cameron McInnes going back to lock which we could see this week after Jackson Ford was been charged with a Grade 3 tripping charge from weekend and providing takes early guilty plea will be missing 2 games. Zac Lomax copped a knock to the same knee he injured earlier on in the season last week but managed to play out the game but could be in some doubt. Paul Vaughan remains un-available due to covid19 breach. Brayden Williame should be fit to return from calf injury and could be named on extended bench.
Sharks vs Titans
Sharks only concern coming out of Eels game is Ronaldo Mulitalo who left the field in final 15 minutes due to HIA and will need to pass required protocols to play, if fit he may continue on right wing and Sione Katoa on left wing outside Dugan after they switched sides on weekend. Matt Moylan (hamstring), Josh Dugan (hamstring) and Jesse Ramian (hamstring) came through comeback games from injuries and should be right to play this week. Scott Sorensen also returned from knee injury but took a knock early in the game forcing him off for a HIA which he passed and should also be fit to be named. Sharks Andrew Fifita is expected to return not this week the week after due to finger injury which he had surgery on. Titans only concern to come out of there good win over Cowboys on weekend is Ash Taylor who copped knock to knee which saw him leave the field late in game but it’s expected not to be anything too serious and he should be right to go with the same 17 expected to be named. Mitch Rein and Young Tonumaipea are both fit for selection and could be named on extended bench.
Cowboys vs Rabbitohs
Cowboys could welcome back Scott Drinkwater after he returned to training last week after recovering from knee injury and could either replace Ben Hampton in halves or other option could be to start at fullback which could see Hamiso Taubui-Fidow moving to wing, Justin O’Nell to centre and Connelly Lemuelu being dropped after not having best game on weekend. Gavin Cooper could return after being dropped last week. Reece Robson only played limited minutes on weekend and didn’t come back onto the field after leaving the field just before halftime with no reports of any injury. Rabbitohs will welcome back Jaydn Su’A after he missed Broncos game last week due to suspension. Damian Cook and Cody Walker both copped knocks during the game but played on and should be right to play. Tevita Tatola was taken from the field late in the game due to HIA and will be monitored and passed HIA protocols to play. Thomas Burgess suffered a knock to shoulder during the game but will be fit to be named. Latrell Mitchell should be fit to play despite managing leg injury at the moment.
Raiders vs Broncos
Raiders will be sweating on fitness of Siliva Havili after he was forced from field on weekend due to triceps injury, if ruled out Tom Starling would start at hooker with options of new signing Kurt Baptiste but he probably isn’t match fit enough to play only after only coming into squad this past week or Sam Williams the preferred option to come onto bench to spend some time at dummy half to give Starling a rest during game. John Bateman is free to play after being placed on report in the final minutes of the game on the weekend but wasn’t charged by the Match Review Committee. Broncos will not only be without their Coach in Anthony Seibold due to personal issues which saw him leave bubble after game on weekend which will see him in isolation for 14 days but then the news broke over weekend about Tevita Pangai covid19 breach which will see him miss next 2 games with the potential of further penalties to be applied. Joe Ofahenguae may be forced back out to an edge with Rhys Kennedy coming back onto bench with the rest of the squad coming out of Rabbitohs game injury free.
Knights vs Sea Eagles
Knights are expected to welcome back Daniel Saifiti from knee injury, he trained with the squad last week and will return from bench with Josh King the player to make way. Gehamat Shibasaki left the field on week after copping a knock but should be fit to be named with no other injuries concerns to come out of the game. Sea Eagles have once again been hit hard by injuries and could be missing both starting props from weekend with Addin Fonua-Blake suffering knee injury which will rule him out and Martin Taupau in some doubt after suffering concussion after high tackle from Jack Hetherington but in some good news both 2RF which were late omissions on weekend in Joel Thompson (ankle) and Curtis Sironen (knee) could return. Jorge Taufua position on left wing could be up for grabs after a number of bad defensive reads on weekend with Brad Parker expected to return from concussion which could see Funa move to wing and Taufua being dropped. Lachlan Croker was charged with a Grade 1 dangerous contact charge for a hit on George Jennings but will be free to play with an early guilty plea.
Tigers vs Bulldogs
Tigers will be without Billy Walters after scans revealed he had torn both MCL and ACL after he suffered knee injury in Knights game on weekend which could open the door for Jacob Liddle to return after his own ACL injury after he received final clearance to return with Josh Reynolds another option for bench role. Alex Twal is expected to return after missing the game on the weekend due to sternum injury. Robert Jennings could return to replace rookie Asu Kepoea who didn’t have the best game on debut. Bulldogs Lachlan Lewis is expected to be missing after being charged with Grade 2 careless high tackle for hit on Cameron Munster which provided he takes early guilty plea will see him suspended for 1 game after he was only fined for other charge of a Grade 1 careless high tackle on Josh Addo-Carr with either Jack Cogger or Brandon Wakeham options to replace Lewis in halves. Jake Averillo (hip) and Marcelo Montoya (knee) are both expected to be missing after suffering injuries on the weekend which could see Reimis Smith and Kerrod Holland return to the starting side. Will Hopoate is only considered an outside chance to return if he can recover from a syndesmosis injury

Yeh those monday mails are always clickbait. Teams havent even trained for the week when the article is put together. Its estimated guessing designed to generate traffic
