Weekes is also a well known shitto

Yes I remember his scores in the past. But he did just score 40+ in a 40-0 drubbing simply by tackling and kicking the piss out of the ball. The threat of the Raiders signing a player like SOS or Sexton seems low to me for a few reasons. I'm willing to take a punt, well aware that I could get Ricky'd at any moment.

Did I miss something? Why is Cleary out?

But I just traded him in.

Well now this is taking the piss

Can’t even use the prick to loop

Can't find the post but someone mentioned Dolphins have 9 injured players and with some of the forwards returning soon how will this impact Plath's minutes?
Don't think there was any response to the post but since so many are bring Plath in this week it's a good question

Holding cleary was a huge error…. But do you just keep holding now or bite the bullet?

Eish that is rough for Cleary owners

Fleglar gone for a while, Bromwich brothers out for a bit.

Bennett will ride the hot hand for minutes.

Worst case he makes $100k and upgrade him.

Don’t think Jesse is out. Was just a cork and should be good to go

Looks like the number one rule needs to change. 

The new Foran, always injured.

None of the guys returning from injury are lock options. If he was playing in the prop rotation then sure it would be different but he fits that ball playing lock profile.

Kenny Bromwich and Stone look the only alternatives and it's hard to see either of them being preferred over Plath now.

All Panthers games following Origin are 4 day turnarounds.
If the Panthers continue that approach, it means he is suddenly a possibility to be precautionary rested for R14, 17 maybe even 20?

It might be something to weigh in if anyone is deciding to hold or move on?

So we get 3 games if he is back next week before he goes to Origin.

Went down the list to find a HLF/MID that plays 13/14 I could downgrade him to and there is feck all

I agree, I think their preferred lock was Gilbert then when he went down they went with stone the he was out a week and Plath just dominated. I wanted him that first week he played but was worried Stone would get it back off him but Stone off the bench in the prop rotation.

Even Wallace can’t make the team with all these injuries

Think it's a combination of Raiders bye next week, lots of Raiders in teams already , and Weekes's prior scoring history (albeit for a different team in a different position ) and Armstrong/Atkinson also being popular cheapies

I'm trading Levi to Weekes so there's no net increase in raiders players for me but that's a fair point. Likely grabbing Armstrong as well. Atkinson looked decent, seems like he was keen to take a hit up. Just feel as though Weekes would have a better base than him if the kicking continues.
