Ah fuck it. If Hosking gets dropped next week at worst it's cost a trade and I can trade him straight back out

Best case he's a season keeper so I feel it's worth risking a trade on that upside.

What if he gets hip dropped?

My thought is my team has developed a few issues this week and I can’t risk another red dot

Have HSS, weak WFB, Carty, Hopgood that could all be issues next week so adding Hosking into that could make it worse

Granted though my plan is to fix at least 2-3 of those with HSS to Teddy and maybe Carty to McInnes

Hey LB, there's no hint of that prat Kodi in the Bludgers.
Johnson all the way baby.

Better to have you around than not.

Well, I appreciate that. Apologies for the dig.

It was 2016 regarding the captain cheat as I called it Looping wasn't a thing until 2018, which is the last time I played NRLF until now. It was the reduced squads and no additional trades that killed the game for me though.

You're the only one that's brought it up, besides myself in a self-deprecating way, and this is like the 5th time now. Figured you had a problem with me helping others out. If I were spamming about my own elaborate loops, I'd understand the dig.

Water under the bridge

Ya don't sell Tapine when he's missing two of the next three and not really firing do ya? Asking for a friend. . .

Depends who you play!

Own tapine and had made trades so couldn’t abort

But if had chance to make him matterson (for example) I would

3 weeks of scoring of 700k+

Vs 1 week of scores

Unless I’m missing some meta game thing

Did you tell your friend that they don't call him Trapine for nothing?

I'd probably trade him and look to bring him back Rd 9, through Loiero + Warbrick potentially? Unless you have a decent emergency already lined up this week.

He started last season slow, but goddamn he killed it in the latter two-thirds, so that's why I'd be keen to bring him back still.

havent seen anything on tohu being out yet. does anyone have an article link or smth?

Thanks. Playing Keppie which isn't great but he might snaffle a 40 and it's only a 20ish point swing.

If out it would be for Matto probably

Speaking of Rabbitohs getting away with things, anyone see Burgess doing typical Burgess brother things?

To be fair to Burgess, that’s not where I’d expect to find Reynolds’s box and tackle.

Twitter usually an easy place to search if you're struggling to find news anywhere else.

Yeah holding might work, not bad depth in your team compared to mine. Hopefully a solid 40 odd from Keppie and will make the points back with the trades saved.

Speaking of holding, I hear Brett Stewart got caught.

Looking forward to the games tonight, this first on especially might be rather close?

I'm assuming everyone has a bucket loads of players tonight, who you got ad who you tipping? I did Panthers/Broncos

I've got Captain Cleary/Hosking/Kenny/Carrigan/Haas/Walsh (New recruit)

Hosking, turbo in this

Walsh captain

Carrigan, staggs, Reynolds

Hope manly keep it close, that right edge defence worries me

The grapefruit tree in our garden has started dropping fruit so I thought I'd make use of it. 3 parts gin, 2 parts grapefruit juice and 1 part green charteuse for a drink known as a Wolf's Bite. Raising a glass tonight for one of our gang, B/L, who had some crappy news this week. Hope it turns around for you and your family mate.
