Anyone else probably gets off.

Would prefer these menial tasks are run past MTB or ynot or Milchy first.  If they can't solve it between the 3 of them then I'm happy to step in.

What’s the charge for that answer? Based on your usual hourly rate @chucky might have to get a personal loan!

Haas definitely misses 1 game and Yeo probably misses the final round.

If the Broncos continue to keep it close (and they have a bye left) the Panthers might need to roll out strong to keep the top spot and Minors though?

Bird's still floating around there as is BMM.

I like the idea but it comes with a fair amount of risk

Is there much interest in McInness? or does the 4 forward bench bring his minutes back down to around 50/60

I see a few people did this last week when Tohu was on the bye, but is Tohu to Latrell still a good trade this week, or is it better just to hope Tohu scores as good as, possibly even better than Latrell?

Hutchinson on the bench for the Roosters would suggest Cheese isn't getting 70+ again. He averages about 20 mins off the bench when playing with Cheese.

Tohu will be managed for the rest of the season, so don't expect any huge minutes. If they're ahead, early showers almost a guarentee

On the premise that Tino and Yeo both play the same amount of games for the year (bare with)

Who is the better trade in?

TU: Tino
TD: Yeo

I feel Tino is a higher risk, higher reward play and Yeo is the safe 60's guy.

Tino was looking a monster pre ban, and if the Titans play like last week again they'll be hoping to sneak in the 8.

Yeah, I picked him up last week so he's already in my squad. But hoping he might be a half decent option if I need to slot someone into my playing 17 in a pinch.

Was aware of Bird situation, but what's even happening with BMM? Is he injured, or demoted? This Russell fella seems to go alright... hoping he holds the spot over BMM, who hasn't offered much there this year.

Tino suspended until next week

Would have loved JDB to get a 1-2 week suspension to throw some doubt on whether or not he was a trade out.

Dumb challenge tbh given it ticks all the boxes for a suspendible hip drop as per the Annesley’s brief but I suppose you roll the dice at this stage of the season with not much to play for.

Yep but assuming Yeo misses 27, they play the same games.

My early trade thoughts are going kamikaze and blowing my last 2 on JDB/Bula to Lodge/Latrell.
Can then loop Dedwards(underwhelming) and Lodge

Teddy v Manly or Drinky v Broncos, who goes in the loop with Bula?

Correct, that's fine, think I would still prefer them playing one less to McInnes/Tapine. Not sure how likely this whole Yeo rest in 27 is but might go Haas as I don't have any other Broncos so much easier to deal with that than say a Hopgood+Cleary+Yeo all out situation in rd27 with no trades, if Panthers were to do the mass resting.

Well Holmes is fucked

The hearing began with Holmes' legal representative Bill O’Toole seeking to have a memo from NRL head of football Graham Annesley entitled ‘Player safety update high tackles and shoulder charges’ removed from evidence. "The memo is not addressed by my client and my client had not seen this memo until today," O'Toole said.

Also hasn’t gone with the time honoured tradition of being represented by Nick Ghabar and the representative is apparently his father in law

It's a bold strategy

Holmes had less of a chance than JDB tbh
