Brodie Jones fan club!

100% joining that club. Especially if it’s possible to get more than a single game out of him

FYI Badel is reporting that if everyone is fit, QLD will line up Harry Grant 9, Brimson 14. Mahoney not in the side.

That’s interesting. Gutting for Reed though - feels like he earnt his spot

Hope we find out soon. Would prefer him over Hunt as a trade in

Grant is 3x the player though, Mahoney would know that. It was only ever a question over Grant's fitness.

It is a big ask for Grant to play 80 in origin when he has had very little game time of late.

Is it to late to bring in beans ?

Didn't Grant say in a presser that he will be fit and Munster is a "pussy" pretty much. NRL Physio saying Munster is looking good though.

Isn't matto getting a couple of game ban ?

no idea, probs haha.

I read that Grant trained last week. Sounds like he was good to go and could of played for Storm if they had really wanted. Munster trained Saturday and got through no problems.

Show me the Mahoney

Reckon Joey Lussick stays on the bench going forward? Been chipping into Mahoney's mins recently

Somehow got off with a fine only (I'm certainly not complaining though)

Simpkin > Jones
Brimson > Burton
Tino > Hunt

Thinking of something along those lines this week

Tyrone May has scored pretty well at 5/8th in the past (avg 47). Wonder if he's a decent cash down option for a decent score this week + good EMG cover going forward.

Is Watson a season keeper?

How long does Billy Burns keep the EDG role? Or just too much uncertainty over the Dragons' pack?

Kobe Hetherington is a likely looking customer, any ideas of his job security with Kevy ?

He was looking like a sell a few weeks ago but I think he should be good for a while yet. With Frizell out for a little bit, Barnett probably goes back to an edge and Watson goes back to Lock.

At the least he's good for 45+ a week and covers two positions so he's far from a must sell as soon as the bye round passes.

Could be worth a shout. The only downside is he won't make any money with the role he plays so if you're cashing out to him, just expect to be killing off 1 spot for the year.

Just throwing names out there now, but Jacob Saifiti? Someone probably benefits with Klem, Frizell, D Saifiti out & he's shed 150k. Probably a bit too middy.
