24 hr ban

Just watching the minis... Teddy scored that try, tough call by the bunker

60 minute Cook not ideal. Isn’t going to score a try every week.

Probably a good option though since I’m against it

Was he playing at his SoO position of centre when he scored the try? Maybe it was lock, the game was sending me to sleep, but he did come back on for ITT and he wasn't dummy half.

But yeah, Cook with any time on the bench loses attractiveness as a buy.

Yeah I need to buy a hooker next week but don't think I can go back to cook if he's not getting 80. Also spending some time in a lock type role but not sure if that really changes his scoring much

Will need to trade Tohu to avoid Mikaeles contribution.

Keen on a player that will play the next 5 games before the second bye so that leaves Panthers/Eels. Hopgood top of the list although am worried about a sneaky Origin call up. Yeo misses 13 and maybe gets a rest 14 so not overly keen. Sorensen if he gets a start this week.

Pretty slim pickings, Hopgood and hope seems to be the way

I'll be amazed if Hopgood misses Origin.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he gets in somehow. Has a 5 day break between Origin and Rd14 so should back up? I’m assuming he gets a bench role for Origin?

JFH maybe (assuming it has to be a prop)

Need to buy a MID tomorrow. If Sorenson doesn't start probably best gamble with possible upside is Matto right?

Could be any position, will deal with the balance next week

Also didn’t realise Sorensen averaged 52 playing back row for the Panthers. Think I’ll go that way if he somehow jumps into the 13

Could easily be starting lock, Cotter prop.

Matterson worth looking at. Dual is really handy, making money.

Thought about him as MID I must buy and not keen. So vanilla scorer

Yeah have Matto already from last week. Will see what that first team list holds tomorrow and then panic

Matto with Carty hovering worries me

You forgot big Pat.

Fair. They do seem to like playing locks at prop though, its the Queensland thing to do.

My gosh, that last game was painful to sit through, especially after that second matchup.

You're right, Cotter will more than likely be prop, Carrigan lock and Hoppo bench.

Savoury is an underrated gem. Chicken Crimpy, Vegemite, and Cheese and Bacon are all good.

What that? The best two flavours are the worst flavours?

1. BBQ
2. Pizza
3. I didn't really even know or care to acknowledge any other flavours even existed.

Solid day in Fantasy.

Koula's 6 point drop overnight was annoying.

Happy KPP managed to shine. Still seems a shaky situation, but hoping he remains a keeper.

Didn't get to read a lot, but surprised to see earlier pages with several people not playing Armstrong, or having him in a loop etc. Obviously the fact that he was going to hit 91 was pretty hard to predict, but thought he'd done more than enough so far to be a starting WFB for punters?

Nikora, more like Spudcora. My hesitance when trading him in was that he definitely has these games. Frustrating, but hopefully he knocks out a good one next week. Probably should have just gone for Yeo this week, though, and sorted EDG out next week as he obviously won't be going up in price at all, like I feared.

How likely do we think Trell is to play Origin?

Based on what's been said in the last few weeks and the games this week, I would guess that Ramien and Critta are ahead of him, but who knows what Madge will do.

If Trell misses out, I'm very interested. Souths have a few winnable games over Origin and they have looked better in the last couple weeks.
