"Bulldogs backrower Jaeman Salmon has been ruled out of Magic Round after spending the last 24-hours in hospital.

Salmon will miss a crucial clash with Canberra on Friday night due to a salmonella infection he picked up earlier this week."

Got about 10 players on shortlist for Bateman trade. Instead of thumbs up thumbs down, maybe need a left index up vs right middle finger down

Holding Cleary seems silly. Hynes I'll be holding even if he's out this week, and Papy I sold last week, but can see why you might hold

Whoever I pick will get injured within 2 weeks so Farnworth it may be 

These Angus/Hynes Origin threats are really clouding my bye planning but may look to just have strong 18-19 with barely any shittos across byes rather than some outright guns

Also keep forgetting about Plath and others DPP and realising I may not need specific position (HLF)

Hynes and Angus look certainties for Origin, thus both look like sells (especially if Hynes out this week too as he has Penrith next week). Rd 16 is a nightmare so this week i’s likely Hynes (instead of SJ to Aitken.

In regards to Hynes. If out today he will miss 11, 13, 16, 17 (surely), 19, 20. If injury okay may back up for 14 with 3 day turn around v Brisbane. With my Rd 16 nightmare I just can’t hold him.

With so few trades remaining, I wont be trading out the first choice captaincy option, or any other players that are in the elite scoring tier. Lots of guys you can have for some decent scoring, but its the top end scores that make a difference to your rank each week. Looking to try to collect these top tier guns and run other guys around them, while avoiding shitto scorers that you don't want near your playing 17.

This season is unusual in that the top tier guys all seem to be playing Origin, or are injured. Last year was different as we had guys like JDB, Hopgood and Horse that appeared through the season.

I'm planning to hold Hynes, Angus and adding Fifita this week. Angus the one I would be most likely to trade due to R14.

As a massive dork I like to count the number of trades I have left, take away a bunch of them for injuries (i.e all of them ) and then look at the number of players I have now who i anticipate won't be in my final 17......It's not pretty.
