Glenn - "and he is a few weeks away at this stage"
Croft - knee in q cup - "he went in for minor surgery and the rehab is expected to be 4-6 weeks."
Staggs - "continues has knee rehab and is running well, but we will not take any risks with an early return from such a major surgery.” - no mention of round
Carrigan - acl surgery today

Yes. Think he's a much more appealing buy than Koroisau.

Macca to go back to 80 with McGuire gone?

Good news for Tyson ‘4’ Gamble with Croft on the sidelines

I might go T. May he gets 30ish mins but seems to score 1ppm & could have a bigger minute roll in round 13 when Cleary & if Luai play origin it could be May & Burton in the halves.

Reminds me of Police Academy.

He has dropped a nice 100k recently hasn't he

I laughed at Rev early on with this pick, but having a look now, he's probably the best pick actually. Smart play from him, I'll cop that. He may sway me to use another trade, at least you know it'll be at least 50 odd points for the fortnight and a bye player. Really don't like the idea however of double trading again when I want to get Walsh also.

Yep dropped 100k thanks to a HIA and is keeper material

Still has a BE of 85 so not an urgent buy just yet but a good option if you have no other fires

I'd take him over Koro if he's clear of origin.

Just need Hightower and Tackleberry

100%

There’s a few options I’m looking at including Mahoney Gutho and To’o but not comfortable bringing them in until Origin squads are announced and it’s all confirmed if they’re in or out

No Papi Peachey or Fifita means I need to trade again to have 17 though. Really irritating spending trades to fix the team rather than improve it

Just saw a clip of McGuire's hip drop tackle = no sin bin / on report. Countless other high tackles that roll off the chest/shoulder straightaway sin bin. Seriousness of McGuires tackle looks like 5-7 weeks on sidelines for him yet no sin bin.

These are the big calls the refs were getting wrong over the last couple of weeks, which instigated this weeks knee jerk reaction for sending less serious instances to the bin. When they needed to stand up and take a strong stance to a genuine dangerous and severe infringement they fail again.


On a side note any tips on how many games it will take before Latrell gets sin binned or sent off.

Who could they be, matched off with.

Tackleberry died in 2001, age 50.

I make a good pick or two every year, doesn't make up for the rest of the squad and rank, but there's something there, deep down hidden ability. I've always felt ur laughter, not taking me seriously, u ferocious kraken u !

I thought most weren't keen because of the likely scores of between 20 and 30, not any JS issues.

This week or next yes.

Koro appealing or not feeling it ?

Might make Kris an option for those in the market. Averaging 33 at CTR this year with a low of 20, his two shit scores have come on the wing and in the second row when he went off early.

If you have to trade in a temp centre wouldn’t it be better to trade a round 17 one in. Especially if you have two R13 centres already. Then, you can hold them to round 17. You could even sell one of the R13 centres after R13 if you needed cash. As long as they aren’t playing origin, they only miss one round.

I think this is a good option if you need a cheap CTR with JS.

How long is Peachey rubbed out for?

The way it's going, there's a good chance they won't make it until round 17.
