He's been pretty underwhelming for us the last few weeks, I support him being taken off.

Fans booing a guy out of the game with a head injury. Classy stuff.

I agree he's been underwhelming, in real life and in Fantasy. Just not sure that Wishart is going to fix what Grant cannot.

Cody Walker on 1 point so far

What I've got right this year: Having Damien Cook since Round 1.

What I've got wrong: Everything else.

Holy shit, I hadn't looked down that far. That is superb.

Not owning him is starting to feel a little like not having Cleary last year.

Barring injury to an expensive player (which I'd rather not, please) I really don't know how to obtain him either.

100% Kenny was playing for the penalty, he paid the price for his gamesmanship and everyone on the ground knew it.

This is how I read it too.

Have 3 of 3 in NRL pickem

Please Cowboys 19+ don’t let me down

8/8 tipping last week and 6/6 so far this week, I am nothing if not well aware of how fucking shit my team now is

Glory glory you KENTS

Happy with the 48 from Latrell, was in a lot, without being in everything.

Good week to get rid of Havili as well, he served me well

Prob the weakest Storm side I can recall

Alright, so its all on the Warriors and Titans to get the Storm to a record breaking sixth straight loss. I feel like we are in safe hands.

Warriors, an already bogey team for Storm, let alone an injury riddled, out of form storm, in Auckland... may be closer than you think!

Titans, well, yeah okay

Traded Ponga in this week. I also broke Trbojevic and Papenhuyzen in their first week in my team. All guys with uncommon surnames. So watch out.....Laszlo Panaflex!

Some massive problems at the Storm right now. Their recruitment strategy of bringing in average guys and building them into great players through their culture and structures doesn't seem to be quite as effective this season. Their full strength spine is still amongst the best in the league, but there just isn't the same quality across the park that there used to be, nor is there the level of quality depth they once had.

We have depth, it's just all being used so nobody can get dropped for being shit.

If you look at our back 5 from round 1, 4 of them are injured, 3 of them for the season. Not to mention our captain out for the year, and our other captain being dog shit (the Bromwiches are both cooked and so are Felise and Cheese).

If Howarth is even remotely fit I would support Felise being dropped for him to come in, this season is a write off, we aren't winning shit anyway so might as well give the young guys a go.

Oh yeah, Storm forwards are a pack of pussy-cats, therein lies the problem.
