Cross field kicks - loves them

Fast returns - not really his thing

I think Jesus Christ is at the price point where I would want to see what he does after injury before I jump on him. Some water into wine shit etc. It is the Titans though so nobody is expecting miracles

Ive seen enough, he’s nailed on in my team.

C'mon dude you're not playing properly....the rule is that any long term injured/suspended player or bright young prospect from the cup team is going to slot into first grade like a true hero and save both their actual team and our pretend teams

sort of like saving us from eternal damnation in the fiery hell of the mid range

Using the acronym JC for anyone other than Jarrod Croker is actually offensive* #thegoat

Maybe its just Manly

In the corresponding fixture last year Cheese got 47 minutes and Sandon 33
Cheese generally got 65+ minutes with Sandon on the bench (Against the Dolphins was the only other short spell from 8 games)

I wouldn't try and predict it. Sometimes players get more or less minutes than usual
Sometimes 1 player is playing too well to sub off. Sometimes someone has a minor niggle, or the game situation makes it fine for them to have a longer rest. Sometimes coaches just love screwing with fantasy players.

Terrell May is due a short minute game once enough of us have traded him in. Just play the long term average and resist the urge to play minutes-watch every week

Cheese will most def punish traders if enough get rid of him.

So can you all trade him out pls

I did hopgood owners a favour last week. Its only fair

Our team who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy game
Thy teamlist come
Thy trades be done
Something, something
Lead us not into traps
But deliver us from rage trading

Actually Campbell might not be the second coming, I've studied the sacred fantasy texts (Nrl.com) and read this about Dean Hawkins

It's just a great opportunity for Dean, he got the NSW Cup Player of  the Year last year and he led his team to the final and then beat the Queensland side,” Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray said.

Reserve grade pedigree, leading a team to the promised land etc etc


Edit: Further evidence 'He has been training the house down this pre-season too.'

Is anyone planning to swerve Galvin? Im definitely grabbing this week, just curious

TU: Marzhew to Papy & Luki to Finefeuiaki with about 300k itb (Safe)
TD: Marzhew to Mulitalo & Luki to Papy (Fun)

I'm definitely jumping aboard for his second game 25

It's everything I love : rookie half? good first up score? shit team? Desperate coach? check, check, check, & check

Adding "weight" to your argument, the star of that NSW Cup and State Championship side was ... Blake Taafe.

Galvin and TerMay seem like the most obvious trade-ins ever

Kicking myself it 60pts and 51k later for May but sunk cost. Still seems a screaming buy. Probably scores 27 in 38 mins this week

I would have been concerned if the Titans were playing on Good Friday

If Murray is on an edge again he will score 27 without breaking a sweat

Unless something weird comes up tomorrow: Hutcho and Wong for Terrell and Finefuiaki it is - already have Galvin.

I’m posting from a plane - work has deemed something warrants paid travel for the first time since COVID. In that tiny flight window where Qantas serves an actual meal (sort of) on a domestic flight, bit upset they’ve announced vego pizza rather than the old faithful meat pie. This has nothing to do with footy. I just really want a pie.

EDIT: also have to make that decision on whether I want to smash an alcoholic drink in the 10 mins of level flying between service and descent, or do what I would on the ground and decide 10 minutes is not enough time to enjoy a drink. I’m assuming they still serve alcohol on domestic flights to the back of the plane?

Ive enjoyed drinks in much less time

Missed the Storm game, was it mentioned Thaiday/Thurston/Slater patented the outside in play 10yrs ago ?

Galvin invites only just went out at the weekend brother.

Drop your keys in the bowl at the front when you arrive
