nrl physio posted it was considered mostly bone bruising & very good chance he plays round 14

I don't think you'll be sneaking into the top 1k...it will be more like barging in with that many players left to play

Must have been a tough start to the season to be ranked 10k after 12 rounds!
I reckon rd 17 will be the best rd to make up ground. Alot of teams will be low on trades by then and wont be able to bring in numbers for rd 17.
How many players are you aiming for in rd 17? Ive already got Tohu, Thompson, CHN, Curran and Walsh but will be aiming for about 8.

Funnily enough, if I started with Papy and Fifita I would have been sitting between 1000 and 2000 going into the week. 2 very minor decisions that cost me a bunch of ranks.

For round 17 I'm thinking minimum 10 - Walker (already in the team), CHN (already in the team), Tohu, Thompson, Tauk, Taumalolo, Aitken, AFB, Chambers, SJ. Few players that are outside chances like Walsh, Arey, Tolman, Rapana, Manu, Cotric, Hopa. As always HIA to someone like Taupau could bring them into contention.

Round 17 looks perfect to pick up a couple of mids with plenty of good ones on offer

wow, didn't realise tauk was sub 500k

Is on the list for me next week before he starts to make back that lost cash. Roosters missing a chunk of forwards as well

I know because I’ve had him all f-ing year. Great R14 pickup IMO

No dramas with the judiciary affecting my team so far this round. No injuries either. Let's keep it that way

Is he going to keep a starting spot going forward?

Roberts and Mbye fines only

I dunno what the Head of Football Performance job entails, but Tim Sheens returns to Tigers as that guy

Add Liu and Butcher to our injured list from last week. Best pack atm looks like this

8. JWH
9. Marschke
10. Tauk
11. Tupouinua
12. Crichton
13. Baker?

14. Keighran
15. Suluka-Fifita
16. Egan Butcher
17. Tuku Hau Tupuha/Naufahu Whyte


It's not pretty for the middles so expecting JWH and Tauk to play bulk minutes until Radley is back

I hope this is a Trbojevic type situation where Alex has a tall and nimble younger brother that's awesome at FB?

Last week there was a conversation about stacking up on fullbacks. Anyone recall how many ? Teddy, Papy, Ponga, Mitchell, Turbo.

Liu shouldn't be out long though, should he?

nrl physio - cleared of serious eye damage but expected out 2-3 weeks

Hoping 9(C) left to play is above average, 229/5 so far and lost 500 ranks.

441 ( c)  with 8 left to play
Brailey Watson matto peachy mosses , Fogarty , opacic , hynes

I'm keen to buy B. Smith but is it too risky with Grant back on board. I feel he could go large tonight. Cheers.

Same for me, well above average, haven't seen anyone here with more remaining
