Finally getting Ted in this week, so expect him to stop scoring now.

I feel you mate - that's tough.
I did the same analysis too (but not in the nosebleed section of the rankings like you). Turned into my worse decision of the year

How would you rank, Haas, Ted, Fifita and Murray?

You've held him this long and you want to flick him?

Proctor sacked. For a halftime smoke in the dunny.
Wonder what Blocker and his ilk think of that one

Pretty dumb of Proctor but sounds like titans was just waiting for a reason to sack him

Just doubting his minutes on return, and if that money could be better served elsewhere  eg Ipap, Teddy

Graham Annesley has defended the challenge, saying it was OK because the referee blew his whistle to tell the players time had expired.
So technically, the cowboys challenged the fact that the referee had indicated 80 minutes had expired. Because it was the end of the game, the "structured restart" part of the rule is OK to ignore.

If it wasn't the end of the game, and the Tigers were able to get a play the ball in, it would have been unchallengeable.
I hope Annesley has convinced himself it was the right call, because I don't think he convinced any of the fans.
I don't believe any mention was made of the fact more than 10 seconds elapsed before the challenge was made (especially relevant if you go back a few weeks ago when Tedesco clearly wanted to challenge a call but was unable to because he technically didn't request it in time)

Also, in any game where the margin is less than 6, the losing team (if they have a challenge available) is able to challenge the last play, and just hope that something went wrong. I hope other teams take advantage of this.

You'd think the Titans have a dossier of multiple indiscretions by Mop head, and this broke the camels back.

My team is ‘okay’ but fuck me 4 trades are useless with bugger all cash, and a 18-21 of trash.

Thought they could have medically retired him based on a diagnosis of terminal stupidity

I think pretty much in that order, but maybe swap Fifita and Murray.

So Proctor to the Warriors then.

He never had it so good having Cronk beside him.

Yeah my thinking. Might get the first two and leave the others.

Proctor should have retired last year, the stupidity of some of these footballers is amazing.

Honestly, should be sacked just for the stupidity of it.

Filming yourself vaping in the toilets at half time while your team is losing. How did he think that was going to go down?

What on earth was he trying to achieve by doing that?

TU Koula to Aitken
TD Edwards to Teddy

or comment do both. Would mean going down to 3 trades and having a 18-21 of Booth Mbye Trindal and 220k player

wolfking wrote:What on earth was he trying to achieve by doing that?

Early release ?? It's so stupid it's brilliant....if he wasn't trying to get sacked then I want to buy a house off him

Picking a captain this week is a pain, there's no clear favourite between Hynes, Cleary and Cook.

Might just go Cook again
