This is overall, mtb/ynot can provide breakdown for top X ranks

Nathan Cleary 24.43
Tom Trbojevic 16.06
James Tedesco 4.78
Daly Cherry-Evans 3.91
David Fifita 3.01
Payne Haas 2.47
Cameron Munster 1.79
Damien Cook 1.71
Jahrome Hughes 1.62
Isaiah Papali'i 1.21
Ryan Papenhuyzen 1.08

788/15
(C)leary and Avo to go

Gutted Avo is playing, as Verrills 68 was going to come in for him .

Feel may be slightly behind there 8ball here with Trbo and DCE to come.

2 trades left, was going to do Croker -> Jackson today.  But is it worth holding both trades for next week?

I think I’d hold, unless you need it for h2h win.
Could be carnage next week and probably not much difference between Jackson and Croker today.

Roller coaster day.

No Turbo or DCE but then captain Cleary to try and regain the ground lost.

Currently gone nowhere with 12 done

'

Could be a bit of carnage next week with restings and suspensions.

Depends how likely you think you are to field 17 next week, and how many extra points you think Jackson will give you.

thanks Chucky and Milch.  I'm in a couple of H2H preliminary finals - a fair bit behind in one and slightly ahead in the other.  Jackson probably adds 10-15 points over Croker today and next week.

I do have 19 players this week (with Chambers and Savage red dots).  In terms of high to low resting risk in my team:

Cook - has to be a chance, although given he had a niggle this week a bit odd he didn't rest against the Roosters. With Latrell out, will Bennett want to give the full spine a chance to play together before the finals?
iPap - he could be one of the players Arthur rests?
Moses - same, although he has only just got back to playing after a break after Origin
DCE/Turbo/Croker - does Des rest them against the Cowboys last round, knowing two wins gets them a top 4 spot? I feel like Croker has played a lot of football this year - in his first season as starting hooker
Watson - Knights with nothing to play for? Although Watson has played a bit of the bench, so might be fresher than most
Teddy - don't think the Roosters have enough troops to rest him?
Cleary - just getting back into the swing of playing again
Papy - same
Verrills - don't think the Roosters have enough troops to rest him

I don't think my players from teams competing for 8th, or outside the 8 get rested (Walsh, Haas, AFB, Aitken, Peachey, Fifita, Bird, Lolo)

13/624 for me, all I have left are 4 Manly players so I guess go Manly?

DCE, Harper, Schuster, Turbo (C)

Harry Grant might be in trouble for a hip drop

Gutho also being rested according to Brad Arthur & Bellamy has said he will still rest players next week

Additionally Nathan Brown indicated he will rest some players carrying injuries (I suspect Walsh & Curran will be two of them).
Wayne Bennett has also stated he will rest players (early indication is that a couple of their props will be rested, but good chance for some Origin players to put their feet up).

It sounds like next week will be absolute carnage and if you can put together 15 you'll probably be an over-achiever...

I'm two games away from being crowned a three time Mod champion..



I give you the gift of Honeysett drink it in maaaaaaaan

Warriors players have September off. Dont think they need a rest?
Agree next week is going to be carnage. Some nervous top 10 teams I bet

I’m 13/776 and up into 36th. Nice time of year to get a Tedesco fail as a non-owner. And I was able to loop to avoid Walsh. I’m hoping I can maintain rank with (C)leary, Turbo, DCE, Schoupp to come.

As for next week, it’s anyone’s guess. I deliberately avoided Storm players, and I’ll have Angus returning, and Taafe should come in as my insurance for Trell, but I’m sure to cop some restings.

Grant only fined for his hip drop, Cheese only fined too for possibly having broken Niukore’s jaw typical joke how they get off lightly as always.

J. Brom 1 week.

Ramien only fined too

You’re joking?

The review of Saturday's matches also resulted in four players facing fines.

Storm pair Harry Grant (dangerous contact) and Brandon Smith (high tackle - careless), Sharks centre Jesse Ramien (dangerous contact) and Eels lock Nathan Brown (high tackle) fall into that category.

I can cope with another 2 outs, but that's it

I think that's the point. There's nothing significant to play for, so no point pushing guys who maybe are carrying injuries.
It's just my opinion (+ I'm an owner) but I think he'll rest Walsh given his age and a tough couple of weeks

I'm back to 18 players right now, with Gus back and Manu broken by an angry bunny

At this point I'm just hoping to hold on to a League 1 spot
