Thinking Garrick to Api

Yeah I can't see how it's worth the risk for the club, regardless of what the doctors might say. I hear broken back and I'm like yeah fuck that.

I know Kurt Angle wrestled with a broken freakin' neck because "it can't get any worse", but today he says he should've taken the time off and healed properly.

As for fantasy, I can't see it being great for his scoring if he did play. Would need to be in the right place at the right time a few times, which could happen vs Dogs and Tigers, but I don't want to take that gamble.

I'm also on the trade Garrick out while holding Tedesco and one trade for next week

I was hoping to do the same but Garrick into Gagai doesn't work cash wise

Are most people here running Lemu at CTR this week with Manu?

Given I have Garrick, Teddy & Latrell the answer is a big yes for me

Not going to be a fun time deathriding a goalkicking DCE. Will go Hopgood > DCE for the final round if I can afford it

Anyone know why D.Russell scored so poorly last round ?

Missed a lot more tackles than normal getting carved up by the Storm.

He did it solely to spite me for calling him 'The Good Russell' and looping him into my team

Yep I’ll need to use last trade on Garrick

Holding Ted and Murray who will hopefully both play next week

Means having Hopgood out next week but can’t do anything about that

Rank 50ish WAG team is 8k short of Garrick to Marzhew but think bringing Manu back in probably makes the most sense for the last trade anyway. Running on absolute fumes, though can field 17 and hold Teddy this week. Hoping to make up some ground on the top 10 - lots above won't be fielding full teams this week.

On the plus side Hopgood is going to make it the whole year in the team, what a trooper.

8 missed tackles will do that. Would have scored his usual 40-odd without that.

Was watching him fairly closely as the only player in that game (aside from 100% owned Grant) and I thought a couple of them were those fairly unlucky 'fantasy' missed tackles where they're good real life shots but go down as missed tackles because you bounce off.

Dan Russell is a pretty average footballer (I mean in an NRL context, he’s obviously an outstanding footballer compared to say, me). They need Lomax back to tackle for 3 on that side

He looked very ginger every time too

Bradman Best also has the same good Dragons matchup in R27

Triggered every time

Although was looking at since I already have the big 5 halves, provided I don’t need positional cover, my best R27 last trade move might be Marzhew or Gagai

I’d probably take a 20 just to spite everyone else tbh

More a footy draft question, but does Walsh or Staggs goalkick for the horses with ARey out?

Fantasy wise, Russell has way over achieved.

Dragons are such a tasty matchup for even Dragons players

I have the C on DCE at the moment. If he’s kicking in the absence of Garrick then surely there’s another 10 point buffer to his scoring
