Easily Chan. As long as Shoes is starting he should be a decent cash cow.

Just realized I also have Cotric as a trade out option (was hoping he’d get named).

Do we think he has a better chance on nabbing a spot than Chan moving forward?

Both have a BE of 8 so no real tiebreaker there.

Cotric's dual is nice for looping if you have a number of options in the backs.

In 2 games as starting prop, Knight has had 28 and 14 minutes, so who knows, but Curran EDG helps a lot, along with Morrin out.

Time for Hughes to show how fit he is.

Curran is my main trade in target this week. Think he'll get 80 and time in the middle. How long is Preston out? I heard podcast yesterday Gus said 6 weeks but group I'm in someone said 2 weeks today.

Just started the Magic Sponge podcast. I'll let you know what they say.

Hands would appear to be the most likely to take his position from the current squad. But I think he's OK for job security in the short term at least. Biggest issue is he's 3rd choice playmaker behind Dylan brown and Gutho so sometimes he may struggle for point scoring opportunities

Clark is starting this week because Liu out a week from concussion

Ahh thanks for that info, may need to rethink that trade then

(C)urran starting edge. Yes please

FYI Joe Chan not named in NSW Cup either

NAS named as starting prop

Yeah that’s my current thinking on it..

So likely still injury related then..

Fb comments reckon still injured with that hand infection

Willison head knock at training reason for absence

Automatic 11 day stand down? Would likely miss next week too then, with a Friday game.

Yeah I’m keen on Blore for sure on that Storm left edge. 

KPP and Blore have potential to be season keepers, an 80 minute Angus would be huge too.

Cant see Angus getting 80, with Butcher as the other EDG and Sitili on the bench.

I know a lot of people are keen on KPP.

I haven't seen him play and his scores are good, but not out of this world.

Does he look capable of a higher average in the long run?

Ok NRL physio has said that he'd be very surprised if he was back in 2 weeks - this would have to be a hairline fracture and would carry some hefty risks of he were to. More likely between 4 weeks to 6 depending on severity of fracture.

Has been doing it in base, has an offload, tackle busts, big unit that could crash over for tries as well. Expect he has an 80+ in him on his day, and on a typical day 50 is still a reasonable expectation.

Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks. His eyes were like steel, cold and hard. Had a shock of red hair, red like the fires of Hell.
