Good stuff mate.

No idea why this is heavily downvoted. The game can be brutal on lows and downluck, so enjoy the breaks!

Yep. I evened it up a bit.

Dunn out injured for one week

Not sure whether to trade him or Jensen out...

he and Clifford both defending on the right side where the titans dominated so id guess defense was the main reason

Reimis > Walker

Leaves 216k and I’ve still got cover for every position in the 14-21

Thoughts?

Trade ins are fine, Reimis makes sense. I think Liddle will be a trade but not an urgent one. BE of 16 and his 32 last week I think would be his floor even in 60 min. But you could certainly flick him if you wanted to bring in better cash maker and/or free up some cash.

I had HAMPTON last year.

No no no DON'T do it.

Probably will be 1 good score followed by 3 shitters then dropped.

Brooks to Walker this week

Then either Liddle or someone else (Tex maybe) to a nuffy next week, along with Welch to Haas

Damn, so I got one fit CTR this round (Roberts). Have Bird and Averillo, thinking about trading Averillo to Opacic as Eels have a pretty good draw coming up (Tigers, Dragons, Broncos, Bulldogs next 5 games)

Yeah made a couple of silly errors too. Was hoping for one more week out of him. I'll just play Fusitua and hope for a try

I think Griffin Neame will play this week. Payton was real cagey about answering questions why Hess is on the bench and didnt want to answer when they asked about Neame needing exemption to be named

Yeah I think Welch to Haas will be popular next week. It's something I'll be looking at. I've got my eye on Moses and Matterson too, but I've got so many halves now, and don't trust Matto's head, and mid might well be the most urgent position to fix. Interesting to see how Kevvy plays him.

How am I supposed to know how long Collins is out for when the Roosters only state he's in the HIA protocol. The NRL website says he's out with an ankle injury...

Running the gauntlet with no MID cover, but with Lam and Averillo out, SOS and S Walker up for grabs, and a need to get some cash flow for Haas in a few weeks gonna take the shot. Just need Crichton, Tohu and Watson to stay fit.

Daily casualty ward check.

Vlandys on 18th man. "It is only really designed for an emergency situation. There are four interchange players already and if they lose two they still have two others, so basically it's for instances like what occurred on the weekend with Cronulla and Canberra."

The problem though is that Canberra wouldn't have qualified for an 18th man, as Tapine was an ankle not an HIA. Same with the Broncos in round 1, losing because they were down to 14 men.

Doesn't sound like it will get used too often. Wonder if they'll allow a 19th man if the 18th man goes down.

It's not specific to HIA's, though, is it? I'd assume it'd apply to any and all injuries that rendered a player unable to play out the rest of a match?

Only applies if you lose 3 players to HIA I’m pretty sure

Oh, I see. I confess I've not read the fine print. Didn't realise it was so HIA reliant, but guess it makes a bit of sense.

No, needs 3 HIAs that dont return in the same match. In the last 2 seasons the Sharks are the only team that would have qualified.
