Was expecting a slow burn but that should get the cash gen kick started

Also looked really good out there so hoping he maintains a decent role

Got an Airbnb in Broadbeach Waters. A little further out then I would have liked but last minute booking with big group doesn't leave many options

Yeah definitely looked good for those points. Happy for him to tick that value up from here

Puts wakeham in a cloud if they are preparing Laurie to be a 6

...and Bula as an ongoing option at No. !

Remember their season 2023 is as good as over in terms of finals ambitions. Bula was injured last week and it is likely that Staines was just a stop gap option awaiting Bula's debut

Yep really wish the Thurs games would start even at 9.10 rather than 9.50 over here, would make such a difference getting up for the gym on a Fri morning!

Host has a blues eligibility apparently

Lets see if Bula can challenge Host for worst trade in of the round

Quick! Quick! The cow needs some dopamine...

Please if you have some to spare send it Milchcow's way. He might not thank you for it but at least he will be happy

Waiting till 9pm NZ time to make a trade based on Carty is stressful

Carty will play close to 80 no worries

Does any one else have a faction of three faceless edges on their bench.... This year really has been one of valuing the marginal. This is certainly where I have experienced the most cash generation

Starting pack is

Boyd
Harris Pangai Junior Utoikamanu
Ford Butcher

"Bula" does literally mean Welcome, so it would be a bit rude to decline

How the fuck does Bula get a picture before the top three?

I see Bula actually has an image despite only being upgraded to a top 30 contract yesterday.
The Tigers must be an incredibly well-run administration, investing in the areas that really matter.

For me, the main problem with Bula is that Laurie and Staines are on the bench. Seems like a coach's shootout for who's getting fullback. Bula might only play one half.

Cap n Ranta is an absolute weapon of a human. Dropped an absolute gem of a trade idea in my team tracker:

Welch > Hynes
Carty > Cheese
Uto > Manu

Those 3 players cover every position except EDG. Astonishing

Yeah drives me nuts, 9:30 at the latest even you would think. I know we are a very small portion of the audience but even 8pm kick off in Aus on a week night, finishing around 10, doesn't make that much sense to me.

I see even the Warriors ANZAC game is at 9pm nz time on a Tuesday, surely this should have been the afternoon game, or an hour earlier.

They're lucky I'm so keen to watch my players miss tackles live.

Do I play Ford or Sele? Thinking 43 in the hand is nice

Yeah that’s a tough one. Usually I’d take 43 all day, but Ford should at the very minimum score around that so hope for a boom game?
