Pretty funny he gets suspended after the chat around it at Magic Round

Bowen a good pick up what's his Job security like ?

If I sell now and invest wisely, I might make $50k instead in next 3 weeks.
That $130k difference buys at least 10points a week for the rest of the year...more than enough to cover the 30 round 13 points.

(I wonder if TLT may spring a Hunt surprise)

I'll hold. For now at least, he is a green dot. I'm not too worried about cash despite my poor team value.

Fingers crossed for a big game in round 13 at home verse the Dragons who might be down a few players. I guess the way things are going, any team could be down a few players very soon.

Good for my Fantasy team with Walsh but a terrible call as a Warriors fan.

Like Kevin Walters, I'm not sure that Nathan Brown knows what he's doing much beyond the next game.
So Walsh is possibly the Fullback or Wing or Centre or Five-Eighth or sometimes Rested or Interchange player for the remainder of the season...

Still, possibly makes him a must-have at $406k, even if it's just insurance against everyone else that owns him

One will have to go for me too mate for Walsh. Really not sure which one though. I'd say Stefan has more of a chance to return based on just the position.

Not saying Fui should get less to be clear, just weird that Ese'ese gets less than Fui and McGuire.

I already aired my disgust at the NRL directive this weekend but I can't get my head around some of the gradings now.

Similar to last week with Dave Fifita, I'm fucked if I know how they come up with ranges of Grade 1 to 3 for both careless and reckless.

Given a Grade 3 Careless is 3 games and a Grade 1 Reckless is 4 games (Fui must have had some loading) and given I have no idea what the difference in definition of careless and reckless is........I am assuming they have six different grades of an 'accidental high tackle' they can apply.

What a nightmare for the poor bastards in the judiciary to have to manage.

And that's without even taking into account parts of the game being missed because of ridiculous sin bins or send offs.

I haven't caught up with all the replays but I thought Papalli getting a penalty against him was rough, let alone what has transpired since.

Meh, can't help suspensions and injuries. Happy to have him, just hope he plays rd13, which he should. Now have to decide whether to buy cover or not.

Barely scraping into the Cowboys roster, so probably not great

I won't be picking up Walsh and Starling until after rd13.
I'll miss out on another 2 rounds of price rises, but I really need to save trades so I can have a decent endgame

Is this cow tongue in cow cheek ?

U should have tacked this on to my cheeky reply previous page

I did both.....win win

Thoughts on Harper vs Critta for the centre spot?

I'm selling Momo to one of those two, and while Critta seems a more obvious pick, I really rate Harper as a POD

Nah I don't think that you can compare them, Walters has been reactive in his approach a shit game or 2 and a left field axe takes place. brown has been consistent in what he has said and was very open about his though process regarding walsh I called it yesterday before this public. Walsh demanded his starting spot and has proven himself and grabbed his opportunity as apposed to Walters they were shit let's try these guys together walsh will start the rest of the year maybe get a game or 2 off the bench if there are any concerns about how he is handling the riggers of first grade, brown and co aren't playing this year as a rebuild they want to win the games in the short term and they are most likely to win with walsh on the field as much as possible.

I just don't see what is so special about the CTR position. there is no reason why fantasy CTRs should get injured/suspended/dropped at a greater rate than other positions. But this is the 2nd year its happened

I'm copping heaps of them, and mostly the week after I trade the fuckers in. I am only half joking when i say that if I'd brought in Stephen Crichton instead of Ben Hampton, Zac Cini or Tyrone Peachey that he'd now be injured and the others would all be fine (well, not Cini, he was just poor)

I'd go Harper if I didn't need a cash out. Might do it anyway, he runs hard and is playing with Turbo. Love to see it.

Harper is my first choice and I'm fine for money (most likely selling Pap to Harris as my other trade and will still have 217k in the bank), so welcome to the team!

Is Jesse Arthur's likely to stay in the side? Not sure why he'd get dropped but ya never know with Kevvie. Seems like a good choice for round 13 cover and could even make some cash.

Only downside is doesn't play round 13, so depends how well you're covered there.

Forgot about Papy will now need to trade in a CTR and a WFB just to have 16.

The nightmare never ends
