Cook/Robson have been relegated to my bench hookers now
I have Turpin as my main man……

Turpin only solves rd16 bye though... are you hoping Cook isn't playing origin rd19?

Sour cream, spring onion and bacon. No salsa. No sauce.

Here's one that might send everyone off the deep end - is a dip a sauce?

love wedges!
add sour cream & sweet chili sauce or some aoli

Ashes coverage is supposed to be on 9Gem tonight. My directory still shows normal programing.

Fuck, was having a panic attack

Have 5 days in Queenstown in November. Have a skydive locked in, any other suggestions ?

Since this thread has now become the travel thread I've got 3 days in Auckland with the wife and 4 month old

Any suggestions?

Anyone planning to trade in Turbo next round?

If he is back to his best, will end up being a fantastic POD, at 2% ownership in top 1,000, that I am not seeing others posting that they plan to get into their team. Last 2 scores of 105 and 79, reminiscent of "that season".

BE of 4 when he plays R17. Going to be $700k+ quickly if he continues playing well. Scary not to have him, if back to peak performance.

My travel is bigger than your travel.

Any suggestions?

Can someone manage my team for three weeks

I do love a good pie but tbh we don't have any amazing places nearby.

What we do have though is places that do an amazingBanh Mi. Different types of Vietnamese Mayo. One puts avocado in them haha. Another one has crispy fried chicken. Obviously the different types of pork too.

It's probably my most common option if I eat out!

Anyone got a favourite Banh Mi place?

Only ever had one and that was a couple of days ago in Old Quarter in Hanoi, was amazing.

I've already got 5 WFBs I'm not trading in another one that probably plays 1 of the next 5 weeks

Yeah everyone's got Teddy or Garrick instead, aswell as the usual suspects. Could be a luxury trade after origin.

I will be surprised if Turbo doesn't back up from Origin, given the lengths they went to after his HIA to get him on the field.

They really struggle to win without him playing in form, and have 4 teams 1 point behind them in 8th on the ladder. If they lose to Eels this week, they will desperately need him on the park the following week against Storm.

Just really pleased he doesn't seem to be on anyones radar.

Indeed it is my favourite. The honey chilli duck is very good if you haven't tried it yet

That's the very pie I was thinking of, it was insane !

Burbo to Simpkin (no S on the end) only this week for me. Gives me 11 this week which is good enough for me.

Burbo sitting there doing nothing is really bothering me so had to be done. Will cash out Niko and maybe Granville to next week in preparation of upgrading Loiero and Hosking. Hopefully baby Haas gets named.

Toastie Thursday

Bottom up ingredients

Cheese
Thinly sliced red onion (not too much)
Sirena Tuna slices in chilli oil (place chilli in one of the sangers)
Sliced gherkin
Sirracha on top slice of bread

Winner

Who is this Tommy Turbo you speak of!

*Rata - bloody beautiul food, high end restaurant. The Bunker and Botswana Butchery also in that same category although I have never been to the latter.
*Fergburger - the go-to burger place down there. Expect to queue for a long time. It's overrated but still a good burger without being amazing.
*Altitude Brewing - good brewery near the airport
*Atlas - good little craft beer pub and good food
*Beech Tree - another good craft beer bar. Good happy hour. Had like a $8 pint of lovely ginger beer there.
*Hire e-bikes from Arrowtown and cycle down to the wineries. Lovely ride. Good wine.
*disc golf in queenstown gardens. Get a 6-pack or some tinnies from the bottle-o and spend 90min walking around drinking and throwing plastic.

Lots of good day walks around the area too.
