Jurbo would have to be a contender to be dropped, currently there on reputation, certainly not on form.

Since when does origin have anything to do with form? It’s all about loyalty and reputation!

Man that sucks for Jake Friend. Reckon it's the right call though, just had his first baby and he already has his life set up outside of footy with his plumbing business and cafe. What a career he's had with 3 premierships. Just saw a throughout his career he averaged 42 tackles at 95% efficency, insane numbers for the guy they called "nugg" (nugget).

Hope he enjoys retirement, he's definitely deserved it!

100%. Turpin or Egan

Souths play the Broncos so Latrell could gun it in that game. Mind you with Cody Walker out it could affect left side flow of attack. Nevertheless I still like the match up this week for Latrell.

That’s a nice 14-21. All playable too. Tough choice! I prefer having my set shit 18-21 so I don’t pick the wrong ones to leave out.

thanks, I currently have them lined up as
Brailey>Milford>SOS>Walker>Liddle>Schuster>Fuimaono>Niu

Fui & Niu mainly there to cover MID, EDG, CTR, & WFB

Milford usually scores ok against the bunnies (50+), SOS against Manly could bag some xtra attacking stats, SWalker has a tough game against the Sharks, should get a few more kms as base, maybe some TA's. Not expecting Liddle to score a try again, but then we said Lomax wasn't going to keep scoring above 40points every game. Fui should be good for another 35-40points.

If Roberts gets sanctioned I'll be able to loop, but I expect him to get a fine and some community service (handing out facemasks at the local retirement village or something)

You are right. They weren't forced as the other 2. Though in lodge's case I would've traded him anyway to bring in a solid sorcerer to my 17.

You have a fantasy team. Of course you need a solid sorcerer

Im leaning towards Rapa just for the dual and averaging 6tb's a game.

Momo!

Nah out of those guys, Olam seems safest, Rapa most upside plus he has an Emoji

I think I've talked myself into Leniu to SOS. Didn't want to burn 2 trades but it seems almost a no brainer for cash generation. Probably would play him over Walker too.

BREAKING: Sydney Roosters captain Jake Friend has informed teammates he will retire from the NRL immediately. Sad end to a great career.

Always loved Friend even though I'm not a Rorters fan. Such a trooper. Glad he got his Aussie and Maroons jersey

Looked comfortable. Great debut. Never had much pressure on him but wouldn't be surprised if he could handle a more aggressive defence

Anyone have Galaxy S6 and app doesn't work with latest update? Uninstalled app, reinstalled, rebooted etc. Just opens with No Internet Connection and never-ending loading circle. Complained to failhub last season about issues with S6 and the next update fixed. I have new phone still in box for months but love my S6

Really talented. Found him hard to comp due to his size

Brett Hodgson or based on his little goose step nearly every run bit like a young Luke Patten. Both comps based on size not because he plays like a full back. Great little ball player

Pubnation wrote:Thanks for the comments everyone. Croker to SOS this week confirmed.

Then I'm going to see how Blake Green goes this week and if he looks like a 50+ scorer (which I expect hin to be) I'll bring him in for Fuimaono as a round 13 option.

That'll leave only Siomonsen as a dud but hopefully he goes bang bang at some point.

Just a caution mate, Green (while a very good player) has always been a pretty ordinary scorer in fantasy and is priced where he usually sits (35ish).

Even if he goes big this week I would definitely wait until I see a trend and even then.......

Thought he had Jarrod Mullen vibes, but obviously plays with the opposite side dominant. Good short kicking game and can throw a bullet pass

I dont think S6 would be supported for latest android OS / updates would it? Which means very unlikely they are going to update the app to support legacy OS

I watched whole game. He did one goose step for try assist against pathetic Warriors defence

Bar stewards. Like the size of S6. Phone I bought S20 FE is gigantic like every new phone and I have big hands. I don't care about watching stuff on mobile phone so bigger size is irrelevant

Meant he just looked jerky, lively in his running game. Don’t remember any actual goosies

Don’t hate the Mullen comp

When they mentioned on ABC on Saturday that Friend may be retiring, Michael Carayannis said that he had a number of other things going outside of footy so it sounds like he's set himself up well anyway. Not that it's a good way to retire, but plenty of players end their careers in far worse positions.

I think he will probably be great but interested to see team target him properly because Warriors certainly didn't. Like my team Aston Villa years ago were great team for new prospect to have a debut against. Made Macheda look like a superstar on debut for Man United and then he did nothing after
