On another note looking at the sharks bench it's basically 3 locks on the bench along with Finucane and Rudolf and you have a very mobile team there which will be interesting
Going to probably play up tempo attacking play so can't wait

I will never forgive the Sharks for killing Cameron McInnes as a fantasy elite.

He also increases risk of reinjury if doing lots of kicking. Everyone else thinks the odds are <1%, I don't.

As someone who played both full.back and in the halves in my footy days and have had calf injuries.

Playing fullback makes you run twice as bloody far and with higher intensity then in the halves.

Running further and at higher intensity is more likely to twinge the calf then kicking a ball its not the quad and groin.

Why is Kalyn Ponga moving into the halves when the Knights bought Gamble/Hastings in the off season?

Looking at TMM, trying to decide if he is worth it or not

Last year Daejern Asi averaged 34 playing as 6 next to Shaun Johnson. Chanel Harris-Tevita averaged 23

Which one is more like TMM?

He left my squad yesterday but unfortunately it was for CNK in whom I don't have much more confidence and still started Warbrick ahead of him. :/

Calf Troubles????

Because 1 more game at fullback and he will never be able to play again.

You got to play fullback / half...
bloody soft.
Old front row boofhead here.
Roll your sleeves up, run hard, cop a hit, play the ball.
None of this calf injury crap for me.
If I even thought about kicking the pill, the next training session would have been murder.

I;m tossing up between Trindall and TMM

AKP gives you worse unless he scores a try.
Katoa who knows, definitely a risk
TMM probably reasonably safe to get 20 to 45.

Any update on Hynes injury yet? Im not going near trindall unless hes getting atlest 3 weeks

Hey, I was a winger and sometimes barely touched the ball in games where we were getting smashed.
Tough gig standing around next to the sidelines on winter days - I might have gotten frostbite!

Even if Trindall only plays 2 games, he'll make more money than TMM in 10

+ extra points in your playing 17. Could be a nice 20+ point bump for 2 weeks.

Whats to say he even gets 2 weeks? Not worth it if hes out of the squad next week, which at this stage seems likely doesnt it??

If Brailey ever gets injured then it's wheels up DPP McInnes

Nothing official. You just have to base it off "word in the shire" and randoms on twitter/facebook

Well Berrell isn't a bad backup either

All he needs to become a gun again is for Finucane to injure his calf for the 500th time.

Does katoa look like being suspended for the late hit ? Didn't watch the game

Looks like early plea, fine (nrl.com)
