BREAKING: Appears Tom Dearden and Brodie Croft have been dropped!!! Training with reserves.

Milford recalled and Tyson Gamble called up.

Needs to be a sitcom

Mead also dropped. Arthurs right centre.

So Fifita is running at Pangai/Gamble/Arthurs. BIG YIKES

up into 700 but been pretty agrressive and have 23 trades left. Toying with some trades with one eye on 13.

$4k short of turpin - TPJ who i am pretty set on.

thoughts on Welch to klemmer - welch still a bit to make but finucane writing on the wall. Klem has dropped 100k and should play big minutes whens DSaf is at SOO

Team
Brailey
Watson, Welch, Angus
Fifi Tupounua
Cleary Moses
Chricton Avo
Turbo Ponga Laurie

Turpin
Simpkin
Walker
Schuster
Isaako
Papenhuz
alvaro
Deitz

i also dont have any ctr cover currently so could had considered welch to lomax for some funds.. but not sure it helps in points or cash gen..

sorry for the long post !

PreTLT trades are looking at
Turpin and Utoi(or Niu) to Reece Walsh aka lil. Cillian Murphy and Payne Haas
Would leave me with 24 remaining trades and 60k itb. But would be pretty happy with side. Until next injury or suspension

Sean O’Sullivan was injured.....

Unless Harris was dropped as well and Bayley Sironen is his long term halves partner then perhaps he was a late out.
Turner out for season, CHT still out for over a month
As long as O’Sullivan is fit I can’t see why they wouldn’t play him, played ok 3/4 games

Will know more at 4pm I guess

Yeah I was out of the loop over the weekend but when I saw he was out I just assumed it had to be injury related. If he was dropped you'd think it'd be done on TLT, especially with Sironen shifting in there. Weird there hasn't been any word on it one way or the other though

Should've held the Milf after all

another question, i know the timing sucks for bye but for non owners - who will be picking up a cheap teddy soon?

Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues coach Brad Fittler has declared ‘heaps’ of Penrith Panthers players will likely be included in his Origin squad when it gets announced next month, including potential bolter Matt Burton.

Wasn't saying it was a bad trade in, was saying I thought I had missed the boat on a key cow, and was fortunate that it didn't turn out that way.

Fair enough

He doesn't look like a key cow, but we probably still don't know much based on 1 week.
Nathan Brown looks pretty partial to chop and changing this year - I won't be surprised if it's the last we see of SOS, I also won't be surprised if he's back in a week...

Looking at the other trade options people are considering this week I see how much of a dumpster fire my outside backs are.

Need Teddy and/or Moylan named today.

Gus & Gal are right re the shoulder charges i.e. they are not shoulder charges & the fact doctors & lawyers have taken over the game so now any good hit is punished unfairly & that they the nrl inconsistently apply the rule.

Great break down by those guys, if u can take away any bias towards certain personalities (which most people cannot).

LOL where is he playing?

I know he's a good player, but 100% someone who looks much better because of a system that will no longer exist when playing for NSW. I mean is he even in the Panthers best 17?

Maybe even 3pm because it's Warriors!

It's weird not to hear any injury news, but I agree it seems more likely a niggle than being dropped. It makes no sense to wait 1 hr before kickoff to drop SOS for Bayley Sironen.

Then again the Dragons did a late switch of Bird starting HB over Clune, which is kinda the same thing as Biro over SOS...

Yeah agreed. Burton is a great player in an amazing team. But to throw him into origin seems really dumb, he probs wont play a game for NSW though, will probs just be getting him experience.

If I didn't own him I'd be all over him next week. We have years of evidence with Teddy playing in both good and bad teams that he is a top tier keeper

I thought Freddie was better than "the player that scores the most tries is the best"

Has he signed with Bulldogs next season? Probably a good chance (say 30%) he looks like a fairly standard first grader in that setup

It's STINKER TINKER TIME!

Is it just me or is the Sivo banner not showing? Cleary and Ponga on rotate

Another thing with Freddy... can someone in QLD tell me, does anyone in the QLD coaching/management setup feed the media team notes like NSW does every year? I feel like there is zero benefit to it. Id say it’s only happening because of his massive conflict between his day job as ch 9 commentator and side hustle as state coach, but it’s always happened. It’s an annual tradition for the Daily Tele to announce the team a couple of days ahead
