He just got an early mark bro to allow Junior Amone to get some game time. Nothing wrong with macca, just no need to play him when they are up big against the dogs

Cool thx

Was pretty set on Grant to Api but all this talk of Matterson is swaying me to him. Adds much need depth to my forwards so I can move Tohu/Angus to the mids if I carry Fifita.

Brent Read is reporting that the Sharks have given Adam Reynolds a deadline of tonight for a yes/no

Don’t need this week but before R13 if I can

Sounds like a good way to get a 'no'.
Looking forward to seeing him at the Broncos next year.

Fifita and Stefano to Moses and Turbo good trades? Probably gives me too many WFBs though as I already have Teddy,Papy,Ponga and Laurie

TU: He will get 35 mins or so
TD: He's not getting more than 30 for awhile.

The arrival of Maguire has pretty much killed him

KBrom has played 9 for NZ before so he is more than capable.

Really? Did we not have Levi then?

With that WFB line-up you don't need Turbo even if he keeps up this form. Might as well target a bye round gun who can get some pretty high scores instead.

Not sure if mentioned...
But Tino in doubt with a gastro bug

Classic Mal Meninga stuff this.

"gastro bug"

Fifita was "in hospital for a few days"

Dave Taylor "fell out of bed"

I swear the only people who ever get "gastro" are NRL players.

Maybe quite a few mind games going on but I do think it is fairly safe to assume that Nate Myles' bout was legitimate....

What do you reckon about Rhys Kennedy as a 17th man option for my h2h team? Should see abit of an increase in mins and is a PPM beast so it's a decent option at 286k right? Also provides me with some middle cover which is good

Yeah I mentioned Kennedy the other day, should go alright. Not going to be the most exciting player in your squad though.

“Decreased his height”

I would’ve thought that about gastro before I was blessed to have small children.

Yeah just need a bloke who can get some decent 17th man scores for me. Cheap aswell so seems like a 'risk' I'm happy to take. Should go well with a few more mins

TPJ or Matto?

Gut says TPJ, but if I get Matto it should leave enough cash to go Stefano -> Koro next week (provided Koro drops 13k or more).

What's the plan with Starling? Planning to hold through 13?

Yeah mate. News that Hodgson is taking a step back and is expecting to be on the field at the same time as him in a roving lock role… Starling is under 500K and averages 63.7 when playing over 70 minutes at Hooker. Be silly not to.

Also with news Hodgson is on the outer, wants to go home, rift with Sticky.... Where there's smoke there is fire. He has relinquished his captaincy and openly said he is willing to step back if Starling is in their future plans. Signs are pointing towards Hodgson gone and Starling to stay.

Low BE and money to be made very quickly. I'll get two weeks of at least 50's you would think and then by the time Origin I passes he will be nearly 600K.

That nrl.com article was pretty damning for Hodgson. He's done at the Raiders it seems.

"Hodgson declined to elaborate on why handed over the captaincy, referring to a club statement last week that shed little light on the matter either, saying "I don’t need to be starting any more fires" on Wednesday."

so there was most definitely a blow up/argument

Even if Starling is just a 3-week smash & grab to a R13 player, he can make ~150k with 3 weeks of 55s. It's hard to look past.
