Did some digging on this type of injury.

"Recovery time after a posterior ankle impingement can vary widely and depends on the extent of the injury. Typically, it takes four to six weeks before athletes can get back to their normal activities. Recovery time can take longer for severe cases. Physical therapy will play an important role in an athlete’s recovery and return to play."

Sounds like a sell

With Nat, Angus and Tupouniua injured and Egan not returning from HIA, we may see a very interesting Roosters team.

Could it be Naufahu Whyte and Siua Wong?

Scores and ranks just updated. 954 and up to 1184 rank. Target top 1,000 next week.

Hard to determine who the biggest Roosters sell is. Might become clearer during the week.

Is that Roosters v Raiders updates too?

Just updated now, but not sure if included in scoring / ranks.

Dual, good JS, plays R19, 5 points underpriced on his FB average, and 150k down on his starting price. Ideally sits at 20/21 as cover.

Looking forward to regretting it in 15 mins.

Well that worked out surprisingly ok. Compared to Teddy, Walsh, and Ponga, Kris looks like a gun WFB with a 36.

Ahhh nice 920 for the week all said and done. Just gotta stay patient

I moved up to 966, so I think all updates have been applied now. Pending any more sneaky ones tomorrow.

I reckon you'll smash into the top 1K soon LB. Only about 40 points off and a metric fuckton of trades remaining. Will be a few hanging out for the 8 and using 4 just to field 17 in Rd 20.

Brenko Lee is considered “week to week” with no specific return date as he deals with a calf/ankle injury

Sounds a lot like Hynes in preseason. Can't recall anyone returning quickly from a calf injury this season.

Hopefully enough time for VTW to cement his spot.

If only I could cash those trades in for points mate. Still gonna need a bit of luck with my trade ins. 
There’s a plan in place, just hope it’s a good one haha

Yeah could be some diminishing returns on having "too many" left, but you converted the trades pretty well last week. Hopefully do the same Rd 19 and have plenty for restings/late byes beyond. I didn't have the trades to punt on guys like NAS, JKing and Simonsson last week, so only played with 10 and picked up Haas this week for 50 points while the others scored 100+ across two weeks. Will work out longterm, but others like yourself will be on the Haas-types before then.

Yeah I also feel like holding trades through this bye period has stopped me from getting to that gun 17-18 as early as it looks like some have this year. I’ve only quickly browsed the teams I see but they all look very solid but have run out of trades or have very little. 

I’m just glad I’m as close to the top 1k as I’ve ever been in the last few years.

53 points from Walsh, Ponga, Bird combined vs 50 from a 223k cashout

That’s borderline rage quit territory for some. 

I had a Ponga, Teddy, Bird combo this week in the starting 13

Ugh

I scored 909 which included the teddy/walsh/ponga disaster. Down from 340 to 375.

Teddy has been a tough hold all year. Should have traded him to Drinky in rd 13. At the time felt like Teddy had lost too much coin to sell at that point

Smith getting 50 this week is huge, already have Simpkin as well so $$$$

In a a round I expected to be strong after taking a hit last week, gutted to see the rank drop to 380.

Two red arrows in a row, feels ominous. Need to be aggressive this week with 7 trades in the bank.

889 which included: Walsh, Ponga, Teddy, Koula(fml), Bird

Yuck.
Well done to those beating yafss line, I envy you hah
