I’m in shock still and absolutely shattered. On a real downer. I’m going to have a few days off work and be with my Aunty tomorrow.

I just don’t know what to do and I’ve been shaking.

I think I’ll try have a shower soon and go into bed on my IPAD. Catching up on the last 25 pages on here will help take my mind off things. Don’t think I can sleep.

As for my fantasy teams it’s miserable Momo, Jet, Niu, Pap and Simo owner I am now Levi on bench for Turpin I may as well just give in I feel that’s how I feel!

And as I told you all last night and it went to script Radley got off he is a Rorter they’re not accountable to anyone they pretty much always get off. Trell got the 4 weeks nothing surer.

Oh well Trell does have a discipline issue and needs to pull his head in. Hopefully he has a good look at himself and comes back firing to lead us to Glory!

As for Momo I also think 3 weeks is harsh. I think the Momo and Trell charges are both a little over the top.

I just want some consistency but I won’t hold my breath it doesn’t happen.

If anyone wants to help me with potential trades let me know and I’ll show you my team....... it isn’t good to look at though just makes me more miserable!

Well thats the thing you either get a DPP player to cover you for a couple weeks and then go back to playing Pappy (Ie bench Hampton)
Or you 'upgrade' Laurie by grabbing a Trbo/Douehii type player

To me Laurie seems too good to bench in a couple weeks so maybe it's a waste to grab a 4th WFB when there are other places that probably need upgrading first

Feels a bit gross grabbing Hampton for WFB/CTR cover but maybe this is the play

26 trades 10k spare:

Macca
Alvaro Haas Watson
Fifita Angus
Cleary Schuster
Momo Jet
Teddy Pap Laurie

Brailey Turpin Uto Simpkin
S. Walker Leniu Niu Simonsson

Momo, Jet, Pap, Niu, Simo all issues and now Levi on the bench ffs!

I think I wanna hold Momo, I guess that’s a starting point. The rest is all very unclear to me and I can’t think straight!

Am considering Pap to Douiehi maybe as Douiehi plays round 13. Can get Pap back in after origin and his price won’t stay at 857k. Allows me to then maybe do Niu to Hampton this week.

Then maybe look at Leniu to Peachey next week and Simo to Verrills.......

Not sure if these are sound moves though!

Devastating news mate. Hope you and the fam are doing okay. I'll give you my input and hopefully it helps in some way.

I'd start by maybe looking at a trade like Niu to Hampton as he provides the crucial WFB/CTR cover and will slot into your 17 this week for Papi. Other than that man to be honest your team looks good bro, wait and see how Turpin goes this week with Levi around, I still think he will get enough mins to score well. If you could bank a trade this week with all the carnage and still field 17 that would be awesome.

If Latrell Mitchell deserves 4 weeks on the sideline for that incident, I am an astronaut. This game just keeps finding ways to make a fool of itself. Really? 4 weeks? So Latrell was 4 weeks worse than Radley? I must be from another planet. Goodnight all. I’ve had enough.

I didn't think anything of it, but a dude at work was telling me that Matterson had been right to go for two weeks now, but he was being kept on the sidelines due to people within the organisation (not sure who, exactly) being unhappy with that fact that he may potentially be looking to move on from the club. Like I said, didn't think much of it other than a bit of gossip, but who knows?



Gus and Gal were making some pretty hard commentary about Hodgson on 100% Footy this week. Acknowledging that he is individually a great football player, but perhaps not a great part of the team in Canberra. They mentioned how poorly they'd been going last year until Hodgson's injury and how they thrived with Starling there. No one outwardly saying Hodgson is the reason why Canberra are not performing, but certainly making some interesting comments. Perhaps Ricky Stuart is thinking similar.

As an outsider, I don't know how you can have a player like Starling outside your 17 each week - well, I know he's got a few mins here and there lately, but 10-20mins here and there isn't going to get games won. But, I also acknowledge it's a very awkward situation as you can't exactly dump Hodgson (well, maybe just for a week or two, apparently).

I've actually been keenly watching Starling's price drop, noting Hodgson's injury history. Unfortunately the next couple of weeks could put a big dent in said price drops.

I thought Josh was terrific on the weekend. He impressed me during the off season too. I don’t pick teams, but he is highly regarded by everyone at the @NZWarriors https://t.co/dmr7WqgfYJ
