Read that as 'Cheese gone for a wheel'

This is Twal in training photo no?

May have been present, but not doing the training. Not unusual to let a player sit out a session or 2 if recovering from the weekend though.

Hold trades this week?

Grant
Cotter Yeo Plath
Fifita KPP
Weekes Hughes
Aitken Iro
Teddy Young Garrick

Manu
Wighton
Koloa
Hughes

Faalogo
Hands
Atkinson
Galvin

Gone missing now Douehi on the bench. Guessing we just need to bin him if no longer a R16/19 asset

I'm hearing that he has requested a release from the club. All his family and his manager are pissed off that they have made an 18 year old play through a broken hand the last few weeks. Was apparently telling team mates that he can't wait to be out of the club.

Tempted to trade, but have too many unknown factors:
Will Galvin be back for rd16?
Will Curran be back for rd16?
Is Hynes playing origin? (Is Atko worth holding)
Is Moses playing origin? (Is DBrown worth holding)
Is Latrell playing origin? (Trade in option?)

Will know most of these answers next week

Was the magic number screwy last week? It’s not just Brailey that ended up losing a surprising amount of money or not gaining anywhere near as much as I would’ve thought

Looks that way.

Any thoughts on Tuilagi?
Starting last few weeks, low BE priced at 30 averaging 44 when starting this year

While I'm going

Haas vs Carrigan

TU Haas
TD Carrigan

Were some pretty high scoring fantasy games with plenty of 60+ scores (5 from the Dragons alone, thanks Tigers)

Armstrong to super league is a laugh, has he been given his chance late at 23 or is their more to him trying to break through ? His path and now super league chatter just looks like player manager shenanigans.

Scored 9pts 2nd half the week before. How many points after 44 min try last game? He's 2 trades 1 in and 1 out

Looks to have the spot ahead of Lane. The wild card is Matto, if he returns and with Lane in the middle, he may get that EDG. I have him and happy to, but probably wouldn't buy him with the Matto risk.

If this is buy now where's the wait until Rd 20 option.

I think you bought Tuilagi 2 weeks ago or not at all

Given the timing, it seems he has been told he is the 3rd string fullback at the club, at the same time as he has been receiving good offers elsewhere to be their star fullback.

PAP ON ICE FOR ANOTHER WEEK
Ryan Papenhuyzen could be back on the field in just over a week as Melbourne eye off naming the fullback to make his comeback from a broken leg against the Dolphins in round 16.

Papenhuyzen hasn’t played since suffering a fracture in the lower part of his leg against the Gold Coast in early-May.

There was an outside chance he would make his return against the Warriors on Saturday night in Auckland. However, it is understood he is now more likely to make his comeback against the Dolphins.

Papenhuyzen’s comeback is likely to mean that excitement machine Su’a Faalogo switches to the interchange bench.

Any ideas for the last 2 spots on the bench this week
out of
Strange, Brailey, Sharpe & hands

current thoughts are Strange and Hands if Lussik stays out or swap to Brailey if starting

Brailey is last game. We won't know if starting until too late to loop over others. I'm starting Hands in 13 unless Lussick comes in bench.
