Have a feeling the Bunnies beat them tbh

It's an interesting weekend for unpredictable match-ups. Wrong thread for betting I know, but the Ladbrokes odds are interesting:

Dogs 1.57 / Drags 2.45
Cows 1.25 / Wests 4.00
Manly 2.20 / Melb 1.68
Raider 3.75 / Roost 1.28
Shark 1.60 / Panth 2.35
Bronc 1.22 / Tits 4.40

Rabbits/Eels square [both awful, anyone could spark joy there and win it on their own]
Warriors/Dolphins square [no-one has any idea which Wahs team will turn up]

Aside from the Raiders and Titans you wouldn't raise too much of an eyebrow if the underdogs got up.

Tigers gave Panthers a shove, and were unlucky not to take Knights and Dogs
Dragons are not always terrible, and the Dogs can be.
Manly don't completely suck with TT, and Melbourne are missing 3/4s of a spine.
Panthers are Panthers.

I'm not talking about putting on money, just interested in the implied expected outcome.

The cheap HOK I was hoping for hasn't appeared unless Verrills is an option? Will he keep playing 80? Just want for this round and alternate byes with Jrailey

You're not meant to measure it flaccid

Hughes being named is typical fantasy. Still a chance he drops out I guess

I have 18

14 and hoping I don't need to make any this week or next.

I've got 8 r14 players though so might trim early next week depending who gets named for origin (have Hynes Angus and McInnes likely starters but if any of those miss out then I'll have surplus players)

Cook on my potential tradein list this week, as in need of a nine and the price is good.

Yeah don't think anything would change my mind between now and Rd 14. Just no one to trade for him right now, but Terrell and Smithies candidates after the bye and price shouldn't get away. More info/injuries then too etc.

His PPM and filtering minutes looks like he should average 45 in 60 mins. A little overpriced if that's all he gets, but I reckon he'll have to play 80 or close to it on occasion.

Turbo to a WFB and hope Salmon, Mikaele, Hughes and May don’t suck.

Really should make 3 trades but yeah probably a terrible idea

Finch wrote:Hoping Lemuelu starts again, but is what it is.

He will. Was named on bench last week and played 80. Bennett did it last year too because he CBF changing team lists.

Have there been any firm timelines on Tohu or Jolliffe yet? Can field 17 holding both but it's ugly.

Honestly I think this is close to bang on. Or, he's ill.

15 trades, hoping to hold this week.

Still have Corey Waddell, so if there's a good target might move him on, and I guess pending news of Matterson as well. But have 19 green dots as it stands, many of which are even playable so will strongly consider a zero trade week.

Tohu is not listed in the casualty ward...

Anyone heard anything?

17 green dots.
Looking at bringing in Sorensen and Matterson if he remains in the starting spot.

It would be nice if Corey could have a similar role this week as he did last. I was expecting him to spell Burbo after 65 minutes, coming on in the middle was a surprise.

Foran back soon should push Randall out of halves and into hooker rotation

That actually sounds possible. Or it could be a resting because he needs him fresh during Origin when Angus is away. Or he might have a niggle. Whichever way, it's not because of form (if it was he'd still be on the bench).

Robbo definitely having a giggle re: fantasy teams, that's for sure.

Ha, yes. Autocorrect knows what's what.
