    Yeah I'd assumed Cat 1 too for Null. Can't remember exactly whether there were visible signs of concussion now.

    Anyway, good teamlists overall

    Just watched it again and it's pretty inconclusive. Gets hit high with Averillo's shoulder, fall to the ground without hitting his head on the turf but forcefully enough to wind the fuck out of him, lies there for a while contemplating his existence and then gets up and goes off (not wobbly).

    The assumption was that he failed his HIA but was that actually confirmed?

    It was recorded as a failed HIA by the NRL.

    Not a lot was said about it in comms

    Hands moving to reserves just about seals the deal to use my final trade. Will have to keep an eye on Brimson in case he gets pulled last minute.

    I am assuming that JDB fails his challenge.

    Just looked at a juicy upgrade (unfortunately using 2 trades)

    Hands to Russell allows Bula to Latrell

    Would be lovely for the run home....might have to wait until next week though as I can field a decent 17 this week with no trades

    Don't mind AKP but his draw is awful, with the Wahs, Sharks (good), Penrith, Storm and Dogs (good).

    I'm considering Warbrick as his draw is better, with the Raiders, Dragons, Titans and Broncos coming up after this week's game against Penrith. I also just like him from a Storm fan perspective

    DWZ?

    Kris in the center actually really helps that as he was a 40 average in that role last year.

    I was going to do Mofo Sandon to Cleary Cotric.

    I could just pay the extra 5k and get Schiller for the same thing or I could get Cotric given I have 2 red dots already but sadly arent C or WFB so can't loop Kris and Manu

    TU: Schiller
    TD: Cotric

    Kris had nearly try a game at CTR last year so average probably won’t change much

    DWZ is out of my price range for a Cleary cash down, otherwise I'd be all over that.

    Right now I'm probably gonna go Rocco Berry who I can afford and should get plenty of points running off SJ and tapping the ball on to DWZ.

    if JDB gets off the charge then I can hold both trades (since Hands isn't named) and just loop Sandon and Piakura for the last reserve.

    Really tempted to bring Gagai in for my final trade. Great match ups, and Knights are really in the mix to make finals. Besides having a pretty good season, this seems like weekly scenarios where Gagai produces his best.

    Once it's category 1 I don't think they don't have the usual HIA pass or fail thing because they're already ruled out for the game.

    He would've been assessed though and if he didn't have symptoms after and today onwards then they can seek an exemption for him to play. Important to remember just because it was a cat 1 HIA it doesn't necessarily mean he has suffered a (bad) concussion, it just means the signs on the field were bad enough to suggest it's highly likely so they get them out of the game then and then.

    Has to still be a chance he doesn't play if he has any symptoms during the week but awesome to see him named.

    Lussick probably not the worst option at 370k..should be better for the run last week and i guess hes their 80min man now

    Not ideal for hopgood i guess. Matto owners would be happy

    Seems hard on Hands, he hasn't been too bad has he?

    He's probably just getting a rest so he's not entirely burnt out in his first season

    Kris back to centre is a nice little bonus. Averages 36.5 at centre vs 31.4 at fullback (70+ mins).

    This is where NRL Physio fired up before because apparently in pretty much every other sport Cat 1 means you have suffered a concussion i.e. the symptoms are sufficient for a diagnosis, and it's a mandatory stand down. And until the Turbo exemption, that's what he and others (including physios he talked to working for NRL clubs) thought the rule was. Classic NRL making something black and white into a grey area

    Having said that, I watched the vid too now and I don't think Lemu was Cat 1 anyway

    Robson named is huge for me. Hands out is not ideal but in the absence of necessity I will be holding him until a reason to use his cash pops up. Robson + Hands to Grant + Cashout sounds great, but using 2/3 of my remaining trades is a no go this far out.

    I bought Cotric last week fully expecting him to be a red dot I could use for looping Kris with another CTR/WFB. After locking out I realised Cotric and Kris are in the same team making using them in the same loop slightly more problematic
