Can't believe Rob has me on block. Just because Campbell Graham is a better player than Zac Lomax.

I'm talking to you, Ciraldo and Payten.
I don't care what anyone says,without injury, how the fuck would they justify this. This year has been going hard enough without these coaches sticking the boot in.
Sorry about the rant, but I do feel a lot better, now that I've let it all out.
Thanks guys, carry on.
My thoughts exactly, you grab a guy like Mikaele knowing they will be short of forwards in the Origin period. Cotter's averaging 63 minutes that need to be filled this week. 1 stint of 15 minutes is piss poor. Can't plan for that.

Missed the Teddy Drama
Played 13th
Cap Aitken
Mids 50 point total.
5 on the buy next week (not sure I want to trade any)
Paddy Nico backing up from SOO
Matto and Blaze in the squad
Happy with 16 next week I think

Operation get back to the top 1K after the RD10 horror show is well underway.
Up to 1,718th and current squad make up should mean full numbers in all of the big bye rounds should be achievable.
651k in the bank to upgrade the Triple S MID Trifecta (Smithies, Salmon and Shoes).

Ranked in 15k, 7 trades left with at least 3 to make next week (though, let’s be honest considering this week was a 2 trade week that turned in 4 by the end of the weekend, I’m expecting I’ll have to burn all 4), I’m officially entering ‘doing shit just to do shit’ mode, Smith/Smithies/Teddy to Hughes/Latrell/Preston sounds like fun

For Ciraldo and Patten specifically , they won the game. What are you expecting them to justify?
Do you think the supporters of these teams are more or less furious than you are with the performance .
At least Trent Robinson played Terrell May for big minutes . No questions for him to answer

What are you taking about? Zac Lomax and the other guy is Graham Campbell right?

Coaches should just just gameplan to play every forward 50 minutes, don’t check the math on that, if you believe it you can achieve it

Fantasy aside, I think there is something in not necessarily playing your 3 best MIDs from the start, holding 1-2 back for the middle portion of the game. And in that I guess having a high impact but low stamina guy just go 100 miles per hour for 15, then maybe/maybe not come back at the end depending on the game, is valid

I did say Granny will probably play 60+ mins or some shit a few weeks back. That's why I didn't get Mikaele as a cashout.

My question would be why even play them? Put a utility on the bench to guard against pesky backline injuries and spread the 15 minutes out?Milchcow wrote:

Surely you’d be better off shaving a bit of the wage bill?
