In a regular season most players are carrying niggles by this point. It's amplified this year with no byes meaning some players have played 18 games straight

That's exactly what I was thinking. If a "fit" player is a player with no niggles, then they probably don't have many/any (nor would any club at this point).
I'd assume the Storm would still want to put out a team they think will win - but maybe against the Dragons that's any of their top 30.

Being the last match of the round probably amplifies the temptation to rest players.
Last year the 2 vs 3 prelim was on Friday - that would mean a 7 day turnaround for the Roosters vs a 5 day turnaround for the Storm.

At first I thought probably no chance they rest that many players, now I'm thinking it would be the smart play

so considering my team is fucked and i have one trade left, i can afford anyone besides haas(lol) who would people trade in? i already have mcinnes cherry evans cleary cook teddy and ponga. Im tossing up between crichton and lolo. position doesnt really matter

After a heinous TLT, both finals games were marred with players missing and I don't think anyone fielding a full squad. Itwas a shame it came to this but that's fantasy and elimination footy. The final standings were:

1. @awanamafia
2. @DarkKnight
3. @Chucky
4. @13Cokeheads


Thank you to all for playing and participating over the last 8 weeks. As I mentioned earlier thanks to the generosity of @Talfal we have a prize for the winner this year. A limited run collectors edition NRLFF T-Shirt.

Well done awanamafia. Awesome job running this again No Worries. And cheers to talfal, those shirts will be like gold one day, absolute collector's item!

This week is gonna be disgusting viewing. Will probably have all of Hunt,Cleary,Bateman,Talau,CS9,Randall and Clune out. Will seriously be lucky to field 14 this week

I think Brenko Lee getting a rest would annoy me more than any of the guns getting a spell.

I doubt the Storm will rest 10 players - I believe they will consider each of the 10 and rest some.

I forgot to change my Captain/VC before Thursday’s game kicked off. Somehow S Crichton was my VC. Any ideas why, and if I don’t get double points then what is the point of having a VC?

Is your team name Doueihi or don’t we? If so then you got double points for Crichton as I versed you in my own league.

Hooper just advised on NRL360 that AFB is expected to sign with Warriors in the next 24 hours. Warriors should be a solid team next year.

Yeah pack looks solid. If CHT keeps improving they’ll be finals contenders. Every Aussie journo will still tip them for the wooden spoon.

Warriors should be a good team
"This year is our year"
Warriors don't met their potential
Warriors fans get let down

Lather, rinse, repeat

They just need an elite HOK to massively improve their team


I know just the guy







No not Chris Randall

Warriors have definitely been in rebuild phase with low expectations since SJ left. Next season should be on the upside swing, with young players developing, new coach and some added talent.

Expecting No tyre this week for the tigs

Doesn't Levi think he's the bees knees?

Yeah said something like I'm better than most HOKs in the NRL

Also BJ Leilua saying you're looking at him when asked in the pre-season who the best CTR in the NRL is

Warriors pack for next season looking like:
Lawton (hopefully find an upgrade somewhere, don't dare look at Levi)
AFB Harris
Katoa Tevaga Murchie
Bench forwards selected from: Murdoch-Masila, Ah Mau, Evans, Papalii, JTB, Afoa, Paasi - decent depth to cover injuries.

Backs:
Nikorima CHT
Aitken Hiku
Fusitua RTS Maumalo
Reserve backs: Perham, Pompey, Ratuva, Turner

Tfw this week is just so depressing with all the injuries and restings that I'm starting to look at guys that I want next year.

For all the Blocker supporters out there.... https://www.betootaadvocate.com/sports/blocker-makes-interesting-observation-that-a-good-team-will-be-hard-to-beat-if-they-play-good/?fbclid=IwAR0jPpQxlzcaKwClUm0mQyIlihxeR3W72GLqfKQOmNEogmZHJiUakB2QJzY

I saw Burr in unsigned, is it just me or has he been pretty good lately? Definitely deserves a new contract there and I bet it be peanuts

They have so many quality forwards next season though. I'm sure I heard they are trying to shop around Afoa as they have so much depth already.

Poor bugger, he had reason to go on with it when Bateman/papali had a go at him but didn't... Seems like a good guy
