Not sure about the Black Widow but a worthy replacement to earn this emoji is Sir Zachery Lomax

*Will delay surgery to hopefully become the Roosters most capped player.

Ode to Aubusson:

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won

So I took what's mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won't stop there
I am here for you if you'd only care

You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you

I've kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I am a dreamer but when I wake
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams…

Not that I can see, the only players charged were:

McGuire + NAS + Funa + Papalii + Staggs: Grade 1 Careless High Tackle, just a fine.

Fotuaika + Vaughan+ Niukore: Grade 1 Crusher, 1wk early plea or 2wks if they fight it

Luke: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact (other), 1wk either way

Kikau: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact (other), 1wk early plea, 2wks if he fights it (has loading)

Might trade Aubbs back in this week and play him at centre for the rest of the year.

Not even a fine If you commit enough crimes, you're bound to get away with one

Did the mods jinx Aub's retirement with the thread title? Or are they just psychic?

Stop all the clocks, cut off instragram,
Prevent the doggies from scoring with sickening back slam,
Silence the viking clap and the bunnies crowd
Bring out the ute for a grand final lap of honour, let the fans scream loud.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning in the sky
Unless its raining because Inglis says they can't fly
Put crepe bows round the red necks of the cowboys fans,
Let the Roosters players wear black arm bands.

He played not for Norths, or Souths, just Easts and not Wests,
He was my Team list Tuesday and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought Aubs career would last forever: I was wrong.

The refs are not wanted now; fire every second one
Pack up the scrum and dismantle the gold coast suns,
Pour away the dubliner and get your hand off your wood
For no other player will ever look as good.

Damn, Aubs and Claw within a week

Great stuff.. So good to see:
Tui getting involved
Munster, Smith, Hughes all looking fine
Some rando with a manbun.. Possibly Momirovski

Orange Vest = Injury?
Blue Vest = Non contact?

Aubbs

I might try to save a trade so I can get him back in for the final round...it would be fitting as I have never had him before this year and yet that would be the third time I picked him this season.

Was set on Barnett beginning of last week but wanted DPP forward cover and went cheap with Ofa. Can do Lolo+Randall to Barnett+Lomax with 8k spare 1 trade left good cover and no need to play Farnworth every week plus Haas and maybe Aubo to come back.

Do it?

Was waiting for Capewell who might be back but who knows what happens when Kikau back from suspension?

Or close, then open, then close, then open, then close, then someone to say never again........then open

Just watching the presser after the Panthers game… didn’t elude too much. When asked about Api, Ivan said he hurt his calf a little, not sure if he needs to miss any game time… pretty much will know once they go through the wash up after the weekend.

@Filthridden, that is outstanding.

edit: quote fail on phone

Welcome to my draft team Aubo, captains armband is yours for the rest of the season

Have never ever owned Aubs. I love @Khany's reference on the previous page

The Cowboys just posted an "official" update on Lolo.

"North Queensland Toyota Cowboys lock Jason Taumalolo will be sidelined for up to four weeks after sustaining a calf tear against the Newcastle Knights on Sunday afternoon"

Doesnt contain any specifics on scan results/etc

A few options for Lolo replacement, with 3 trades left & 163k bank.

a) Lolo to Cook/CS9, move CM9 to 2RF

b) Lolo to Cleary, Siro to 2RF - may as well spend the bank and I'm going to have to play Siro anyway

c) Lolo to Matterson, Randall to Brimson/W Graham/Capewell. This at least leaves me with Talau, Fui, Siro, HTF as emergencies when I inevitably run out of trades.

d) Lolo to Barnett, Siro to Murray. Leaves 0k spare. A sign?

C and D mean hoping that 1 trade is somehow enough for 4 rounds.

Thoughts?
