What the heck is Payten upto with this one? Dude's an absolute gun and he's getting 40-50 mins a game... he get's longer in Origin.

Yeah I don't think there's any possible justification for starting Jake Granville at lock when you have Cotter and Taumalolo on the bench.

I watched the Annesley video 'tutorial' on hip drop tackles earlier in the year. The emphasis was on dropping your bodyweight on the tacklee's legs rather than any particular motion beforehand (other than dropping your body weight towards the player being tackled to drag them to the ground)
From memory the fact that tacklee was injured played a part in it too regard (outcome was important)

In my, admittedly very biased, opinion JDB drops his body weight to take the player down lands on his legs and Tuipulotu is injured.
No idea on the grading

The worst contact on the weekend was Peacheys, did he get charged ?

Out for two weeks with early guilty plea (which he has taken)

I'm a JDB owner in draft but not in Classic.

Watching the tape I reckon there's enough doubt to challenge it, but wouldn't be surprised if he's convicted.

Yep you're right (unfortunately). They have been grade 2's all season as well (eg Haas).

Anyone else in the no trades left crew?

Thankfully avoided any of the injuries/suspensions this week

Not sure how sustainable this is though

2 left here, held last week which was very hard to do early in the lead up to the round kicking off. Drifted to 5k which is the opposite of what I usually do, sail home a la a gud Lord of the byes record in recent years.

@GarethEllisismyDad stick solid mate, hopefully Ur depth comes through

Camo's out of trades though.

LB can step up to the plate, Trade him in for Harrison Graham, so that Randall can get benched and Graham back to starting

Excuse me I have 1 left to wreak havoc

More than happy for you to continue your fine work

4 trades left, with 5 rds remaining.

Need to burn 2 this week and Drinky next week

2 trades left here and will be sweating on TLT with Talau, HGraham and Colquhoun in my reserves

No Bulldogs players but Robson and Drinkwater next week might see me burn the last of my trades.

Nice of you to join me! Enjoy the bumpy end of the ride.

Colquhoun should slot back into the left edge with Graham injured

Someone mentioned Tino is back this week

I thought he had 1 more week to serve?

Shame Drinky drops money after this week's derby

If JDB doesn’t get sin binned, I win the eliminator.
