Nah.

I'm going to wait another week. He's going to drop another 60k for me and then I'll sweep him up. Nurse him back to good health for the run home. It'll hurt him more than it will me to not pick him this week.

He's bannering this week matey. Point to prove. Shit opposition.

Dally M winner. Get on the ride while you can.

I'm going to back myself that he doesn't, and if he does he stays the same price. It's a risk for sure but I'll take it, he's coming in but if I can get him on a further discount it's another upgrade I can make to the final team. Turn someone like May into a Mid keeper

“Now all the dickheads in the world simply claim their dickhead behaviour is a mental welfare issue and it immediately makes them no longer accountable for their dickhead actions,”
- Paul Kent
(Who tried to get acquitted on mental health grounds)

To be fair Kenty never said he is not one.

I guess attitudes and stigmas around mental health issues have lifted, since Kent would rather say he’s got depression than that he’s a raging alcoholic

Have had bit of a hiatus last few months. Bit on.

Which 4 would you play out of this lot. They currently in this order
Koro, fainu, koula, iro
Seyfarth, talagi, sharpe, matamua.

Yes my team is shit. 4 trades left.

Kent could start up a career in wrasslin'...the video evidence suggests he knows how to take a spectacular tumble.

in the blue corner 'The Red Faced Terror from...Orange'?

I think they spend so much time shouting and pretending to be hard men they forget that they are actually just old blokes with a desk job....

All things being equal-as you have them for me.

Trust you are all good Fort-literally just super busy?

Love your work, love the recent improvements!

There now!

Manly says this about Croker
"Lachlan Croker continues to progress in team training following an associated neck injury from the original concussion"

Not very helpful. Both Simpkin and Starling are cheap, with decent short term scoring but potential to be dropped from the team. R19 not really a factor as also bringing in Cook

Alex Johnston another option, with better job security, and more use in R19

Hey wise Cow,
need some logic and math advice.
The JMK injury has really put a spanner in the works.
Was looking at Grant, but his byes and being rested do not bode well.

Can't afford Cook / Mahoney, so I'm wondering if you can talk me out of Api?
Or, I run with J.Brails / Hands Hooker cheap-shitto pairing and use JMK cash for Turbo. This would allow me to potentially run 13 instead of 12 in Rd.19.

Thoughts?

Rabbit wrote:Any trade you're making from here on in need to involve a keeper. Either straight buy or 2 in cash downgrade/upgrade to keeper. There just aren't enough left, even if you have 5 now.

Sipley, Starling, Simpkin et al aren't that. Hynes is.

I rate more Simpkins will pop up. Whoever replaces JMK. A Fullback or another hooker go down breading new opportunities each week.

I think the 4 forward bench doesn’t really change his mins as Watson just goes to HOK 

Mins were anomaly last week with Watson to CTR right when Cheese subbed (who then come straight back on)

Shit, you're right. Forgot all about that.

Just saw on the podcast the Fittler and Johns do each week that there are rumours Grant has a sternum injury.

Shit, that's no good if true. That guy who's not as good as Zac Lomax still isn't back from his one. Another mark in the punt column

Mahoney origin?

Think I will keep this weekend then reassess after 19. I guess we will know for sure how serious it is if he doesn't get picked for Origin.

NSW never learns

Just feeding the QLD underdog story now. Grant will be in doubt than miraculously recover from having a pimple on his chest serious sternum injury to set up 2 tries in a 50 min stint

Like Gould coming out and calling QLD soft, like shut up cunt. We are going into Suncorp already underdogs don't make it worse.

I can relate being a Wahs fan being mentally scarred by the past.
