Would you want to run at Fifita?

Yeah I'm leaning option 2 as well - thanks guys. Anyone else around that price range you'd go for instead of Radley? Budget would be $555k.

I'd be down to 1 trade regardless but hoping my depth can carry me through any shorter term suspensions if they come up and then just hope for the best.

I'd probably go Radley, but if I was looking in that price range Curran, Latrell, and Gamble (if you don't already have him) would also be on the radar. Curran playing the 80 with Tohu out is an interesting one.

To be the big dog, you've got to beat the big dog
Just ask TPJ - he relished running at Fifita


But if you're a wing or half you probably aren't so keen

Definitely no cleary this week in latest casualty ward report

Holding Cleary is really giving me the Heebie-jeebies. Losing plenty of ranks with a 1k+ score is s kick in the guts. With 3 trades left, and Johnson / Hynes / AFB to deal with, it's a bit of a moot point though, right?
Just need the Chin to return and get back on the ol' banner breaking horse.
I'm guessing a lot of coaches will struggle to get him back in.

So at best, 5 rounds of Cleary then, and that's no guarantee either.

No point holding 550k in the bank with that uncertainty I don't think.

SJ + AFB to anyone I want this week. Probably DCE and Turbo.

Although if there's any favourable update on SJ or AFB returning, I'd be tempted to turn Macca into Cook instead.

This is the article

The Panthers won't bring Nathan Cleary back for their grand final rematch against the Storm on Saturday with the playmaker still sidelined by a shoulder injury.

There was hope Cleary could make a return from his shoulder complaint suffered in Origin II but fullback Dylan Edwards dismissed the talk on Monday.

"He's not a chance this week, so we'll be without him this week but he's running well and progressing through his rehab stages," Edwards said.

Noooooooo no no no

My bench is going to look interesting this week

Scraping the barrel

Looks like I'll be down 3 middles this week with AFB, Murray, Thompson missing time. Need Tauk to play just to field 16

Think I'll be getting rid of atleast 1 long term red dot with Simonsson>Ponga this week. Second trade might move AFB on but don't really love any MID options. SJ will be upgraded to Cleary when he returns leaving 1 trade for next long term injury

EDIT: Burton stays all year which was not the plan

Have come to this realization also.

I knew when I traded out Cleary with single digit trades that the trade in was probably staying for the year. Probably should have picked a better option than Burton

Most annoying thing is he looked way better at lock than prop and not sure if he slots straight back to lock when he returns

Hope he challenges grading though (would either be successful and downgraded to fine or unsuccessful and cop 3 weeks which makes easy sell. 2 weeks is just annoying)

I'm 69th in FOG...I can knock that off my bucket list. I'm playing "I started with milf HELP ME" in the eliminator & he should have an easy win when I look at his team. Does anyone know which poster that is so I can congratulate him in advance.

@ytsb

There is a list of all the team names and who they are in the first post of the eliminator thread

When will we know if Lodge cops a suspension?

Edit: Sorry looks like 1 to 2 weeks, grrrr

For those that got Billy Smith, he's set to undergo surgery on a lisfranc injury in his foot.

This bloke can't catch a break with injuries, feel bad for the fella.
