That’d hurt. I’d much rather get rid of bigger plodders, but I have to hold Sitili and punt Wong if I want May, as none of my other plodders are worth enough to get me to May.

Maybe TLT will leave me as the only May-less team in NRL Fantasy?

Neat!

it won't work they play in the same game

Similar position here. Like most people, I want May. But I can't afford him with my preferred trade-outs. I can afford Lussick though, which would give a decent scoring player and a better back up hooker than Levi.

And probably nearly as undervalued as May with similar question marks over the role.

Why do I feel like I am gonna be ready to put my fist through the wall later today when I get home from work at 9pm and look at this rabble?

I have Sitili, Wong, Hutcho, Kris, Luki, Kini, Flanagan, Haas a worry for me but I’ll likely hold, I have an underperforming Grant and Ponga too.

Errr, yep. Thanks WL and Daedelus - I'm a bit dim today!

Haha, do we actually have the same team? But yeah, if team lists force my hand, I might need to do the same. Something needs to happen before Storm bye as I can’t be letting Levi anywhere near my already questionable 17.

Geez, that's no good.

What's new?

From the daily tele

Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has declared superstar prop Payne Haas an almost certain starter in a boost for the Broncos ahead of Thursday night’s clash against the Panthers.
There were fears Haas could join skipper Adam Reynolds (knee) on the sidelines after Brisbane’s chief enforcer failed to train on Sunday with a knee complaint that flared during Brisbane’s round 2 defeat of South Sydney.
But Walters remains confident Haas will be on deck for the grand-final replay. The NSW Origin enforcer will be named in the starting side and will get the green light if he trains well at Brisbane’s captain’s run on Wednesday.
“We will make a final decision on tomorrow but at this stage Payne is going to play,” Walters said.
“It’s not a serious issue.
“He ran by himself the other day with the rehab group, but as it stands Payne will be playing.
“We’ll see how he pulls up after the captain’s run but unless there’s a major change Payne will be there.”

Well, if you look at things as they are mate, there's not a lot you can do, so no point stressing over it.

Luki is one definite trade out, that's clear cut. The other will be decided for you in a few hours. Use the two trades on two red dots then run out whichever best 17 you can from there, that's it. Hutch and Flanno, just play them, once your two trades are used, that's it, nothing more can be done.

instead of smashing your wall which you'll have to fix & spend money on why don't you invest in a punching bag 10 mins going hard out will calm you down & get rid of your anger.
i have all those players except kini & flanagan just make a plan & pick the best round to unload them e.g. the bulldogs play the titans that's a good matchup so you can hold hutchison this week

Would be extremely unpalatable if some of my starting edges are benched.

I think he's been struggling a bit with injury, so combine with Knights 2 losses not a huge surprise

I agree, i think it will come down to flavour on this one
How do you like your MIDs?
- Original
- Cheese & onion
- Smoky bacon
- Sweet chilli and sour cream
- Salt & Vinegar
- Chicken

In the fridge for me

i think hastings out will free up ponga he'll get into first receiver more

I guess running without aid is a positive

Via NRLPhysio:

For the Warriors:
- Wayde Egan (elbow) is considered a week to week proposition - likely to return sometime in the next 1-3 weeks but will depend how he progresses with rehab
- Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is still 2-3 weeks away as he continues rehab for a hamstring/back issue

ooh that's cold!

Even if Robbo is to make changes to the game day 17, i doubt we see that reflected in the list we get today..

At least they play Friday night

Keary is obvs out, but TLT probably just be the same 17 as last week
