If I was returning from an injury I would love to be in a game where the level of pressure is lower. Can make a couple of mistakes and hopefully won’t be punished for it. 

Allow ya self to ease back into things

That's a great point mate.

Got to cycle off at some point.

He wouldn’t be the first NRL player to extend an injury term because of the pesky WADA officials flagging they’ll be at the come back gate. *cough* Cotric *cough*

Risky business

Or the good ol days when they would show up at a game unannounced so player X would go down injured and have to go to hospital and you can't get tested if you leave

Anyone with three trades or more left should be trading Mahoney - red dots can stack up quickly this year.

If you are holding two red dots, it only takes four more for you to need to do two trades to field a team.
If you are holding three red dots and the same happens, you can trade three players in a week and you're playing with 16.

I am pretty sure a number of people have been caught up by this earlier in the season with the amount of injuries and suspensions going around.

This isn't even looking at players like Hughes or CHN who may be consigned to bench roles going forward/players being rested etc.

You need coverage this year otherwise you're going to get burnt.

Also for the record I'd guess the prevalence of acne in the NRL is related to the combination of a) young guys who don't wash their faces properly + b) mask use. Maskne is a thing.

I'd say its more likely a result of the masking agents and PCT. I can tell you from experience they cause the worst Acne you can imagine.

You know how everyone has one of those friends that always has the “inside word” and it’s always heaps speculative?

Well my version tells me, most clubs in juniors and nsw cup have a no jab no play policy, and if you fuck the club, they drop an anonymous tip to WADA.

I mean, obviously it’s nonsense.

… or is it. Do your own research sheeple.

How difficult would it be for you to break down the number of teams with no trades left?
i.e. X of top 100, 200, 500 etc?

Love your work!

So, 27% of teams in the top 1000 have no trades left.

Here I've bucketed it up by 100s



Here's a different way of looking at it,  what percentage of teams less than or equal to the rank on the x axis have no trades left:

Any ideas how many brought Cleary in mate?

59 teams in the top 1000 brought Cleary in.

So wrong to come in and offer a sound, logical explanation rather than a wild baseless allegation.

Could be something to it. There was a junior league club in the Shire that had a real purple patch there for a few years of players making it big in the NRL
