Surely if cleary backs up it won't be for 80 and the risk vs reward is not worth it vc on chn ?

60 mins of Cleary still could be a good as any other option.

Cleary (c), Burton (VC) for me

from eels: Reed Mahoney has been sidelined indefinitely with a shoulder injury he suffered in the Eels' Round 13 game against the Newcastle Knights.

The Eels' hooker had scans, which confirmed damage to his shoulder capsule.

Reed has commenced rehab and his return to play is unknown at this stage.

Hmmm that doesn't sound promising for Reed.

Cleary can score like 70+ in 60 minutes or even more. I'd just leave the C on him whenever he's fit personally.

Gamble -> Schoupp (Suaalii if named)
Starling -> CHN

Would still be playing 16 if all of Panthers rested but considering fact most of red dots would return (Origin, & then Verrills/Walsh) I don't think it's the end of the world

Could go well mate. I'd probably want better security than Schoupupp though. Hynes might not even be a trade next week yet. I don't mind the idea of Fifita early but would want solid trades to make it happen otherwise wait till after origin maybe? I do think Gamble is an out though and CHN is an in.

Will Smith should come onto the bench with Lussick starting you'd think

The last time you watched the Warriors v Storm was 2009??

It feels like last year though. There is a reason I stopped watching versus Storm after that.

On my round 17 shortlist along with SJ. Think they are the two best halves options playing round 17 now that George Williams is gone so will be primed to both score 30 when it counts like Moses and Fogarty

Did anyone say Drinkwater??!!

I wouldn't say idiot, just wondering how? Partly wondering why also, could go well as 20th man WFB coverage rather than selling one of my centres or Watson or Brailey or one of these other guys I've been talking about all day.

Also, sorry about that, I hope I've added something to the discussion, didn't mean to make it about me, but I had the day off and have been particularly clear minded. Well at least until about 5pm when it became Guiness time

Once Ponga proves fitness I'll go Laurie>Ponga. Both don't play 17 so I'd rather Ponga's ceiling

Legitimately looked at him yesterday in my search for a WFB. Still has a disgusting floor so don't think I can do it

Team for this week(assuming Cleary doesn’t back up)

12 trades 49k

Brailey
Haas Harris Watson
TPJ Matterson
Fogarty Moses
Olam Crichton
Teddy Laurie Hynes

Angus
CHN
Burton
Walsh

Jones
Flegler

Any thoughts?

Yikes, that doesn't sound good.

I think it's this round for me. Given my three major targets are Tohu, Lolo and ARey (or SJ), BEs suggest I should get one of the halves in this week. Would mean flipping off Moses, but he's been a frustrating own with Guth doing much of the running and playmaking and Moses will do even less with Dylan Brown back. The calf injury doesn't seem serious but is persistent, he might not even kick goals anymore and could lose a big chunk of cash before Round 17.

Have carried so many injured players for so long really don't want to end up with carrying Mahoney for a month plus but I only got the bugger last week

Haha time flies doesn’t it

Want to see the work division between him and Dearden. Could be not horrible as an 18th man who plays bye but scarred by last year's Drunkwaiter performances.

I don’t know if it’s cognitive bias but I swear Eels injuries are always labelled indefinite

Physios must not know what they’re doing

Reimis Smith downgrade successful. Free to play this weekend

I need a WFB and clutching at straws here
