Shouldn't the halves be looked at first?  They were awful.

Sack the coach. Bring in Brad Arthur.

One of the Teddy C team do I

TU: Hold trades and play with 11
TD: Trade Walsh for Manu

Yeah Hastings is a liability out there. Looks like the easiest guy to bait into a confrontation… way too hot headed. I see why he has falls out everywhere he goes

Haha, cheers mate. Been a shocker. Rest of the bye planning currently looking ok at least... For now

Perhaps I didn't word my question properly, but I am not interested in what the rules say, I was asking for people's thoughts on what they would think constitutes an error.

Kick off isn't for 3 hours, and we already know Teddy is out, so have to talk about something

Need advice O wise old Cow.
I've had Ted since Rd.1, so not a trade in & C player, but I did put the C on him.
If I leave my team, I play with 12.
I can trade Manu in and get his AE score.

I'll then trade Ted for a Rd.14 player - leaving me with the same number of Roosters on the bye.

Which player is the better trade out:
Garrick > misses 17 & 22
Cobbo > Origin, misses 16, 19, 24

I know Garrick plays one more game, but I reckon Cobbo will average higher post Origin.

I was in Fiji on holiday in Feb and the Knights were staying at our hotel while they played the Storm. Was really noticeable that Hastings was always alone. Guy must be a real dickhead if people won't even eat breakfast with him

His son no longer on their S&C team. All guess work/opinions these days by Barry

Joey Johns was heavily calling for Will Pryce on Footy Show

AOB I think last week said Pryce is struggling to adapt to playing style in Australia, stating he has one good week in Cup followed by a couple of poor performances

And still be hundreds of points and thousands in rank in front of you. lol. You know the FOG leagues are based on overall, right? No one cares about H2H, except me in my SC league with $2000 on the line.

Have a nice day watching everyone score points while you watch.

He he  

I will concede that it is thousands of ranks 2,133 to be precise - down from a reported 25,000 this time last week

But actually, at the moment, it is just 49 points

So I was just kind of satisfied with walloping you in H2H, but now you have raised the stakes...

It will be an honour and privilege to have you eating my dust in the FOG very very soon

Tough one, do you need to trade Ted out next week? Could you just hold as he’s a final team player for sure.

Has that arrogance about him… and he’s meant to be the general out there. It’s a shame coggers been so shit. But who knows next week, Hastings was dreadful this week and engaging in back and forth again. He may get a rest

AOB was asked about Sharpe in the post game presser.

Said something along the lines of he has a ways to go still. And that he wouldnt be making any knee jerk changes yet.

At same time its a standard thing for a coach to say

In R17, Broncos play in NZ post Origin, possible chance of rest for Broncos players

That's what's worrying me about Cobbo. I could just be holding a player who misses 4 games over the bye period.

Would be a pretty big 180 if he said that. I reckon they try keep Armstrong happy while contract negotiations going on

With Teddy now out, looks like I'll be testing the AE order. Need Strange to sub into half so Atkinson can sub into WFB.

Brailey
Sorensen May Hughes
Preston KPP
Weekes Galvin
Kiraz Koula
Teddy Drinkwater Armstrong

Hynes Waddell Iro Wishart
Atkinson Strange Angus Yeo

If it goes in order of the lineup/bench or even in order of play, then I might be screwed...

Toohey related to Sharpe or something?

Stop trying to make Fletch happen

I don't think AOB's job is that secure that he can pick players based on contract negotiations.
He'll want to play whoever he thinks will be more likely to deliver a win.
