NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 22 - I don't cope well without Capewell

Can't believe players milking penalties last night is even a topic, it's done every weekend,every game. The most recent one that entertains the most, was Kikau getting knocked over and then saving the game seconds later, so funny to the eye regardless of players intent.

Yeah I've got the C on Mahoney, so it would work in my favour too

Maybe the 150 Lashes today, as the 9%er's are a bit cheeky hey !

Don't get angry drunk, you most likely bought him as you were playing the long game, with hopefully 10-12 weeks. Today is not make or break.

I think the surprise factor was Arrow admitting it, more than whether or not it happens lol can't imagine many football players would say "yeah I Hollywooded that one"

Was my first assumption when the news of lui being out was shared so makes sense

What a joke.

That young Roosters player should be getting 3-4 weeks!

Not so much of a joke it was feeble, yet cowardly contact, that was made to look worse by Arrow's acting!

But he also said it was because of what the guy did which to me was essentially saying he didn't milk it because it was some accidental contact and he wanted a penalty, he thought punching someone in the back of the head no matter how light was a dick move

One of the reasons I went off football was 'the dives'.

If league fans are ready to legitimize milking then all I can say is good luck.

People have been doomsday prepping for "milking ruining the game" for decades now. I don't like it (though in arrows case I actually have no problem as I think the alternative would have been to retaliate and give away a penalty) but it's not the big bad evil on the horizon

Tom Starling will come off the bench.

A boost for the Green Machine with co-captain Jarrod Croker named to play his first game of the year after recovering from off-season shoulder surgery.

Coach Ricky Stuart was waiting for Croker to improve his conditioning after missing training due to off-season shoulder surgery.

Dunamis Lui and Sam Williams were the two players left out 24 hours before the match.

The Raiders have won three of their past four games against the Warriors.

Bunty Afoa will start at prop in place of the suspended Jamayne Taunoa-Brown and Jack Murchie has been named to return from a pectoral injury on the bench.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that bradman would get injured in juniors, miss a month, come back and score 2-4 tries for 2 weeks then injure something else. Given his importance to the team he was a legend but a nightmare to be the physio for.

Also why I didn’t pick him up last year. Was waiting for the injuries that took longer than I expected

He puts a lot of work into his injury prevention work and is built like a brick shithouse but somehow gets injured a lot

Big loss for my knights

Wonder if some people's Gogli reflex is out of whack which leads their muscle fibres to contract past the point of failure more often

Any word on how long for? He is a good footballer. CHN has passed his NRL suspension period and still in the dog box

Fuck, knew that leg looked dodgy last week.

So Radley, Paps, Young, Morgan. Cool. Cool cool cool. 2 or possibly even 3 of those were in my drafts too. Cool cool cool

Egan expected to play 80 barring injury you'd think

At a work conference all weekend, any important news I've missed? I've seen warriors/ raiders lists. Anything else important? Thanks
