LOL you’re right thanks heaps everyone. Yeah you’re right - it confused me because on the main page it says “you have been eliminated” lol.

Who is the Form horse of the three of them, you'd have to say Curran and back his form. (C)urran for me this week like MattNZ.

I still haven't seen any news on Curran copping a direct unintentional headbutt to the nose towards the end of the last game. He was favouring it for awhile after, but played the game out. Didn't see any blood, but don't know if that means anything. I'd be keeping it on the downlow if I were the Warriors and he could be out after the way he played though.

Why would they keep it a secret if he's in doubt.  I saw the knock you were talking about but don't see how it would keep him out.  Of course I could be totally wrong.

I know it's the Broncos, but any time spent preparing for Curran is wasted time if I'm the Warriors. Coaches have their weird mindgames and all. I figure a broken nose could be enough to keep him out if that's the case. It's happened before where we've seen a player cop a knock, play the game out and hear nothing until 1 hour before kickoff. Just a warning for those captaining really.

agree, happens plenty. not to be disrespectful, but curran isn't a household name.

its like how waddell was left out last week. turns out he was actually injured, it just wasnt even worth mentioning (or no one asked)

Chewie wrote:So Turbo, Avo & Tolo still in doubt. looks like an interesting round coming up

Fair call lads.  You're right, only a household name in the fantasy world I guess.

How does one favour their nose?

Canterbury coach Trent Barrett on Thursday said five-eighth Jake Averillo was in doubt due to a foot problem and a calf strain with Lachlan Lewis on standby to replace him in Saturday's joust with the Knights.

At the time (I think) he'd been smashed in a tackle which appeared to have a syndesmosis mechanism (armchair doctor here) and was limping, fox commentators mentioned it. I was surprised when Barrett talked about a broken hand after the game. Don't know what that's about.

Yeah I read the same article about that time too mate
