1. Cotter training and expected to play
2. Papy to miss a month due to concussion from fall after jumping for high ball

Where did you see the Papy news?

Haven't seen it anywhere, plus don't know how they can say "out for a month" from a month out for something like concussion

I'll edit as posted previously that looks like I fell for someone genuine posting fake NRL Physio Twitter account. Can't believe anyone sad enough to go to that trouble

Bugger looks like fake NRL physio account someone in messenger group posted screenshot. My bad

Hopefully that being fake doesn’t mean Cotter being fit is fake

Edwards in, with Cleary out. And welcome to the side HTF.

Bench is Levi, Duncan (big minutes this week), Salmon, Hughes ....Whelp.

Ya gotta laugh at this game.

For the bursa, can't they give him a cortisone shot for it to release the fluid sac?

I would imagine every man and his dog will be playing Salmon and Hughes in 17 this week. I got stuck with Hughes score last round with Chan out

I have 600k itb, and I have Moses who is a 100% sell. I also have Cleary, so I could absolutely sell both and bring in two guns this week. Let's say I bring in Hynes, I then have 1329k left. It's not like I can bring in a 1300k guy averaging 93. I'll be leaving money on the pine whether it's via cash itb, or via Cleary sitting in reserves. So the argument that it's too much cash to be leaving on the pine doesn't really stack up, for my team at least. Same argument applies for guns other than Hynes, like Yeo. Also they both have their own bye in the next three weeks.

The second point, is that my team is particularly crap. I want to likely get rid of Moses, Sitili, Wong, Kini, Levi.  And not too far behind them are probably Burbo, Strange, Flano, Salmon and Chan. I think it's fair to say I'll be max trading for the next three weeks that Cleary is out. Now in three weeks time I would rather be looking at a team with six of those guys gone and Cleary in it, versus only five of those guys gone and no Cleary.

Obviously most of you are fortunate enough to not have Moses, and selling Cleary makes sense, but I don't think it does for me.
