Kiraz on my trade in list now he's dropped a load of cash

I was looking at him this week since I need a WFB

Since his injury the "sustainable going to keep up all season" attacking stats like TBs and offloads have dried up. Averaged 6 tbs and 3.1 offloads per game. Now down to 3.3 tb per game and hasn't had 3.1 offloads total since returning

I think he was a mid range winger on an unsustainable hot streak that has come back to the pack. Much prefer Ponga, Turbo, Teddy in similar price range

Cook
Tapine, JDB, Horse
IPap, Preston
Cleary, Hynes
Lemmy, BSmith
Manu, Drinkwater, Bula

Boyd, Tohu, SJ, Edwards
Ponga, Hopgood, Oloapu, Turpin

Eventual plan to upgrade Boyd, Drinkwater, Presto, Tapine?, Hopgood? to the likes of Fifita, Latrell, Teddy and Haas after origin. Cashing out to Turps lets me start building the bank for that

Also lets go maroons!

Gun squad!

What are peoples plans for Granville and Nikorima? Keeping for the Origin period or cashing out soon?

Yeah probably this

Bird worries me, "knee soreness", what does that mean? How injured is he?
So, if I go Bird > Manu, my starting centres become Manu + Lemu, with Koula & Talau as reserves.
I'm well over trading centres.

That Warriors bench is looking strong again. Even with Barnett probably being eased back gently, suspect Tohu might get a rest and quite concerned about Ford's minutes.

It’s not necessarily transferable but I have considerable PTSD from NFL running backs with arthritis and multiple historical ACL injuries. It’s like a light switch. Suddenly they have zero value and zero production and vanish off the face of the earth

Todd Gurley in 2019 is a good example

With Crossland being dpp hooker now, is it worth bringing in Turpin when I can just play the X-Man?

Sorry for the late notice... but let's do this:

I'm trading Nikorima this week. He maybe has another price rise or two left in him, but think he's more or less peaked. I'm gonna try to hold Granville til R16 with mid looking tricky, but will have to see what happens when Lolo is back.

Ryles is smarter than I thought he was.

100% best move for his career.

Learn under Craig for a year and take the top job at a great club.

Bellamy was retiring this year. Why would he retire next year?

All these assistant coaches being hot property just because they happen to work for a good team like Storm, Roosters, Panthers is a bit of a nonsense IMO

What is the actual track record of new head coaches from those trees in recent years.

I'd rather give the job to someone who is up for a challenge than an unproven coach waiting for the perfect situation to land in his lap.

Hope everyone's got plans set for tonight - was sick af on my birthday yesterday but fighting through and feeling OK now. So bloody pumped for Game 1!
IMO Qld win by less than a try. Something like 16-12 or 22-18
