I read an article earlier today quoting Luke Keary who said Many should be good to go and have a full weeks training. He said Manu's injury wasn't as bad as they first feared

TLT is tomorrow.

Origin is Wednesday

Teams are likely to leave options open for whether origin players back up or not. TLT is not likely to be very helpful

"Koula replaced by turnstile or speedhump for all defensive sets"

Haha, Rob T

Moderation is fairly lax.

I promise to also use the notes for good.

Any notes about Schuster, his penetrative kicking game and blistering pace? I'm sure he stood still at one point because he had forgotten what to do, either that or he had confused all his teammates with his 'tricks'.

A Roar article called him all tinsel and no tree which was pretty apt.

I commented yesterday that he had no faith in his speed on that intercept watching live on TV.

I then got in the car in time for the HT summary on ABC radio, where they replayed Andrew Moore's call. It's fair to say he was a bit more scathing. Paraphrasing, but I think "running on the spot" was his description for listeners.

BTW, think Andrew Moore is a fine commentator, not sure how he'd translate to TV but I wouldn't mind if someone gave him a shot. Definitely prefer the current ABC lineup over the old David Morrow and Warren Ryan crew.

Lolo and Nanai coming back. Probably shifts back to his small role off the bench by then.

Is it to own over the next few weeks, and also for the 2 months afterwards. Or is to to own for the next few weeks and then trade out again?

Teams that play R16+R19
Sharks, Tigers, Bulldogs, Eels
First 3 all 3 have a bye in R17 so you don't want too many from those teams. R17 also a post origin round so there may be restings
Eels also miss R18 so not necessarily a great trade in now, they were most useful if you already had them for R13. Might still be Ok though if you can find one that doesn't get injured

Next best teams
Storm, Roosters, Panthers - they play R14-R18 without a bye. They have a bye in R19 so you either just suck it up for that week or trade them to a keeper afterwards
Cowboys are almost as good. They Miss R15 which is not a big bye round and not directly after origin, so should be easy to cover an absence that week.

Other R16 teams are
Manly, Knights,  (both on the bye this week)


For MIDs. Fisher-Harris probably the best combo of scoring potential/price/likelihood of being a keeper. You could also think about a punt on Finucane.
Or just grab a cheapie like HEdwards/Fainu ad see what happens
