Who are the good options for R19?
Assuming Cook still in the origin squad

Liddle
Boyd
Simpkin

Unless you want a punt on Hands/Hogdson or maybe try-machine Wayde Egan
Or as a one off cashout perhaps Mamouzelos/whoever starts for Souths, but that really would be a one and done waste of a spot in your 21

And most importantly, if you don't have any of those above, who would you spend a trade on bringing in

On a price per $ basis, Simpkin probably the go, the others probably too expensive to be a cash out, not quite good enough to score as a keeper

Am a little concerned about Simpkin scoring though
Last year for big games averaged 33 points in 62 minutes. That's fine for bye round cover, but you won't want to play him by choice many other weeks
And will he get enough games as starter to make enough money to trade him out again? If he could get $200k by R21 that would be fantastic, but you need a big score or 2 in there to jumpstart price rises

"The Parramatta Eels have provided injury updates on several of their forwards, including Josh Hodgson, who was a late withdrawal on Monday against the Bulldogs.

The club confirmed that Hodgson is awaiting scan results to determine the severity of a neck injury. It is highly unlikely that Hodgson will play this weekend against Manly.

Whilst Hodgson is set to sit on the sidelines... "

To me, that sounds like the injury is worst than first thought? Scan results hadn't come in as of 2 days ago, so they've waited a few weeks before sending for scans. Maybe they just thought it was a stiff neck but realised it's worse?

The foremost concern when storing any perishable food item is preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. Tomato and BBQ sauces often contain natural acids and moisture, which create an ideal environment for bacterial growth at room temperature. Refrigerating these sauces slows down bacterial multiplication and significantly extends their shelf life. By refrigerating tomato and BBQ sauce, you prioritize the safety of yourself and your loved ones, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Consider all the left over gunk at the top of the sauce bottle that insects can eat, and bacteria can grow on, you disgusting pile of filth.

Tomato and BBQ sauces are rich in flavour compounds that can be easily affected by temperature, light, and air exposure. The cupboard environment can subject these sauces to heat and fluctuating temperatures, leading to accelerated flavour degradation. The refrigerator, on the other hand, provides a controlled, cool environment that helps preserve the freshness, aroma, and taste of these sauces over a longer period. By refrigerating them, you ensure that each time you use the sauce, it maintains its intended flavour profile. I could hark on and on about oxidation from a chemistry perspective, but your feeble mind couldn't handle it, you massive idiot.


The cupboard exposes tomato and BBQ sauces to varying degrees of heat, humidity, and light, factors that can accelerate spoilage. Higher temperatures and humidity can contribute to mold growth and yeast fermentation, rendering the sauce unfit for consumption. Refrigeration significantly slows down the deterioration process, allowing you to enjoy these sauces for an extended period. By keeping them in the fridge, you minimize the risk of spoilage and maximize their shelf life. You should have been stored in the fridge because it's clear you're rotten to the core.

Finally, refrigerating tomato and BBQ sauce offers added versatility and convenience in meal preparation. Cold sauces provide a refreshing contrast when added to warm dishes, making them a great accompaniment to grilled meats, burgers, sandwiches, ect. The ability to conveniently incorporate chilled sauce into various recipes enhances the culinary experience. The dichotomy of cold to hot is a pleasant experience, unlike interacting with you on this forum.
