    The more important part of that article is that Tago's out 6 weeks, looks like McLean is back on the menu boys! (could be Jenkins instead but you'd get whichever one starts)
    Jenkins averaging 30 in NSW cup on wing with 7 tries in 7 games (38 average last year with 20 tries in 22 games)

    McLean averaging 26.8 with 3 tries in 6 games. Neither look outrageously good with only 100m average

    Are playing Tigers though lol

    Lussick
    Ale
    Sifakula
    Zyon Maiu'u

    I'm really scratching the bottom of the barrel here, I don't know who else we have?

    How far off is Metcalf from returning? I know t was originally expected to be an 8 week injury...

    You forgot Walker and Sironen (who apparently passed the HIA at the end).

    My predicted side is the following, though Walker could stay at 5/8 if Volkman isn't right, which would mean a debut for Sifakula or Maiu'u

    Tuaupiki
    Kosi
    Montoya
    Pompey

    Base price and playing for Penrith will do for me, decent chance both of them get a run with Turuva also in doubt (no word on his severity just yet)

    God knows but not even listed in NSW Cup and you've expect he'd un around there for a week or 2 at least first

    Nah didn't forget about Walker/Sironen, that was my side if everyone who got injured/HIA/and Walker suspended doesn't play

    Didn't realise Sironen passed his HIA though, that's good

    I feel like we will defo see a debut this week, our bench is even smaller than normal

    Ahh fair enough, haven't heard any word of Walker being charged but tbh I think he gets away with just a fine.

    2 in the top 5

    10 in the top 100

    40 in the top 1000

    All while having a total of 177 members playing.

    Just a testament to the quality of the information and Fantasy brains on here.

    Had not heard of the word "Freudenfreude" until I read about it on the weekend.
    German word for taking pleasure in other people's success. Great for mental health apparently.

    Go ET!
    Go Green Schist!
    Go Rhino!
    Go Fanatics!

    Warriors next week

    If Cleary is out, then that hinders the Panthers attack a bit tbh

    Webster said a couple of weeks ago he thinks Metcalf was another 4 weeks. They are taking their time with him as he has had a lot of hamstring problems

    I don’t know but was about to say I think wingers can go better in first grade

    Faster game. Rookies get targeted with kicks -> more touches. Better service in attack

    Suddenly there’s a bunch of cheap guys

    Grant, Haas, CNK & possibly Cleary sidelined isn't ideal

    If McLean gets the spot that’s what you’re hoping for
