Oh yeah I know. I just don’t know if I’m that keen on Ponga and need a WFB

Cleary to Simmo haha

I guess it's tough if you already have Ted and Turbo. Simo I feel is not really worth a trade now but at least he plays next week. Ponga is tough to bring in now as you'd like to make sure he's 100% fit, but if he is, he's set and forget.

QRL case in one sentence:
"If by some oversight he has simply come to Queensland after the age of 13 and played for Queensland under 18s and under 20s one would think he is committed to Queensland"

The case against in one sentence:
He is ineligible.

Or set the precedent so QLD can flout the rules and knowingly have kids play Jnr SOO because clearly nobody checks eligibility and they can make selection a farce again.

Yeah Ponga is a bit of a punt, I’ve already grabbed Burton this week and I’m a bit annoyed to be going away from my plan to bring in Round 17 guys. 

With only 2 CTRs though it seems fair to get Burton in

You should know the Titans don’t play next week.

Yes 100% you should get SJ this week for Marzhew

I didn’t pick that up I thought you were making some point about our coaches or something

You normally have to register for state of origin just like you do for the nrl so you have to be declared eligible before you can even be selected or considered for state of origin.

Or at least that’s what I thought was meant to happen

I am just playing with 16 this week

have Teddy + Tbro + Walsh

As 3rd WFB think I want Pappy or Ponga and not bothering with them this week. Not trading in a cheapie or a sub par player just for a week or 2.

If I wanted a WFB this week I'd probably go Latrell.

He's like Ronaldo. Amazing talent who would be the greatest player of almost any other generation but cursed to be remembered as the second-best (actually in Djokovic's case the third-best) of his time. Plus he's a dick.

What? Novak is the only man to be a 2x winner at every slam. He's closing in on the all-time record. Masters titles, weeks at No.1 etc I'm not even a fan of the guy, far from it but he's putting in a very good case to be considered the best ever.

Yeah, that's the part the quote from the QRL bloke doesn't mention.

You can't keep breaking the rules just because you didn't get caught up until now.

Fox reporting Lodge signing with Warriors effective immediately

Rod Laver did it, was banned for 5 years in his prime..

TU: Ponga this week, Teddy rd 18
TD: Teddy this week, Ponga rd 18

If you look at titles and durability, yes. If you look at impact and play, peak Rog and Raf will always be ahead. Absolutely amazing player, but third best. And a dick.

Kevy is out of control

Hetherington a good cash out option
