“Kevin Walters believed Willison was poised to become Haas’ latest wrecking ball partner”

Daily Telegraph (article stating Cobbo will be left CTR)

This is what i assumed would happen with flegler leaving

Willison is a gun just needs a bit more time. Had a few injury troubles that slowed his progress

Tohu underpriced again?

I didn't realise how big he was. He's got a lot to work with

Maybe they have mate I’m not sure. Silky our Russian Blue was on Whiskas as a kitten 15 years ago but it made her sick Russian Blues have a sensitive stomach so she’s been on PetBarn food for many years mainly Royal Canin less salt and better on their tummy. The last 9-12 months she’s been on a strict venison diet. She’s still hanging in mate it’s miraculous again another chapter in her book but it’s palliative/supportive care now just enjoy the time we have.

Cats are funny though sometimes they can get bursts of energy out of nowhere Silky was like that years ago.

I think Tohu is in for less minutes this year and a little more management. Come the finals last season, he was toast and looked like a mummy out there.

Throw Niakore into the MID's now as Capewell likely takes an edge and there's less minutes for him as well. I can see a Jazz/DWalker/Niakore bench with CHT the utility (CHT can also play lock if needed). All up, I think Webby looks after Tohu's body much more this year with our pack strengthening.

with JWH suspended what round is he back in 2024 & won't Terrell May start as prop in his absence.

JWH suspended 7 games at round 26 2023 so he misses 2023 rounds 26,27 & in 2024 misses rd. 1-5. Is this correct. Cheers.

Tied in with the veterinary industry, they want us taking our cats every quarter. My cats crazy, my cat drinks every 45 minutes etc.

Missed R27, FW1, FW2 2023

I think he got international loophole for the Pacific Championship which is 3 games so would be available R2, or even R1 if All Stars/trials count

https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/01/01/nrl-judiciary-report-latest-charges-suspension-news-and-details/ - The Judiciary report says Tongan players can use suspension from England tests in trials so the suspension periods are clear as mud

If I was to assume based on all the different exemptions I would say available R2

No one had any bus stop advice. Plebs.

Anything fable worthy come up in preseason, so far ?

haha, i did see your post.

around here (brisbane), you have to hail the driver. if you're just standing there, they won't stop, because people stand at bus stops all the time unnecessarily.

bus driver probably just having a bad day though. they get upset sometimes.

Here's some bus advice you degenerate

Hail the bus....if you can't see the number hail it anyway and make your excuses if it's the wrong one (or maybe get some specs)

To get the bus driver really angry, press the bell surreptitiously every stop and then fein innocence when they lose it and start making bus related threats.....this only works if you have a lot of time on your hands.

Don't try to sit up the back if you are over 175cms tall and depending on the age of the bus the same height rule can be applied to standing up straight suddenly if you are in the window seat.

If you are a pensioner make sure you get the bus during peak hour, take fucking ages to sort out your pass/change, attempt to talk to the driver the whole time and complain about the bus being so packed (see also pressing the bell every stop trick)

The Warriors bench is so versatile, they dont need a HOK or back cover.

Jazz and Walker both cover Hooker if needed. Walker can play pretty much anywhere, has started NRL games at all of CTR, HOK, HLF, fullback and plays MID. Niukore can play MID, EDG and CTR. Don't need to carry another small guy with a small bench that has every position covered easily. Might as well put a guy like Ale there, who played almost every game for the Warriors last season.  Gives them size if they need it. I can't think of any other sides that can easily cover having 2 backs going down in a game.

I hear the Bulldogs might have a few utilities

Whilst I agree with you, it felt like Webster seemed to like having Lussick on the bench quite often last year.

Wow, just watched my first and last NRL Fantasy video up on site - incredibly bad. 3 boring white men sitting at a desk for 2 minutes going what do ya think about this bloke? What’s his price? Oh yeah nah. Thanks for watching

Same mate always have had to hail the bus otherwise I wouldn’t expect them to stop.

Lussick played in 4 games off the bench, in all of them Jazz didn't play. Ale played around 20 games last season.

and suddenly Egan comes back on the radar.

Egan is a very good player & fantasy asset with a very good attack will score tries/put on assists but every tackle you are hoping he doesn't get concussed or injured & at some stage he will.
