And you already had Watson, Haas, Randall, Difitia, and JC.

Who would be next in line to target?

Cleary is probably one. Looking for someone who ideally does not have any byes remaining and is not likely to get injured

Mahoney, Murray, or Koloa

I like Keaon as an option with the Rabbitohs playing the Tigers twice, I can see him barge over for a try and put up another monster score
I know some say he has peaked, or they are concerned about his job role with Murray back, but I can see him score well for the run home

News fresh from the Warren

Rabbits21 OUT with unidentified lung infection. Expected back in 1-2 weeks.

Not sure who, if anyone, wants to take over the game day review in the meantime?

A further blow to the Red and Green

Rabbit is OUT indefinitely with acute personality disorder.

JC if he stays at half is a pretty decent option for the run home.

So why do I feel so iffy bringing him in when there are guys like Murray/Ola for cheaper?

Tohu confirmed out for the rest of the season

Scans have cleared Tigers skipper Api Koroisau of a long-term calf injury but he will still miss Saturday's clash against the Rabbitohs.

The injury will sideline Koroisau for at worst two games - but at least one - after he limped from the field last week.

Tallyn Da Silva will start in his place while veteran prop Alex Twal will also make his return.

imo that's why the warriors have struggled lately because they needed tohu starting & playing big mins he has such great mana/respect he gives his team mates confidence

Finch wrote:Tohu confirmed out for the rest of the season

Hard to believe he's only 32. He's been so battered and bruised for years now that I assumed he was more like 36-37

Api can stay then, cya Tohu.

Yuck

Mitch Barnett really looks like an enticing buy now.

We have actually played better without him this year. Tohu is one of my favorite Warriors but he has struggled this year and we have played better with Walker in his position. I am thinking it is because he has been so hampered with his injury.

Hopefully next year he comes back fit and can recapture last years form. Him, JFH and Barnett will provide great leadership next year.

Want to see him get through Origin first.

Wonder if he will get this week off as well. Origin Wednesday, Canberra on Friday.

Although can't imagine he's going to get anything more than 30 minutes in Origin?

Tohu and his wrist might just get stuck on my bench as pure numbers game!!

Would you rather keep a fit Hands or a broken Wrist is the question

With the broken wrist hand is of no use. Hope this answers your question.

Yeah a definite possibility he rests this week but we are in a desperate situation so he may still play.

And I have just seen he is over 800k now so not sure if I wanna pay that much.

Last game you can probably excuse a lot of it on the dumb error early on and coming off for the HIA test (I think thats what happened?), but the week before that he seemed to just be doing constant decoy runs and not getting decent minutes. I think he is in the doghouse or just doesn't give a fuck or possibly both. I'm trading him to Cleary if he's named but only because that trade is extremely tight with my bank and I think Stefano will bleed more cash than Cleary

Firmly expect a Cleary re-aggravation in 20/21 if I do buy him early though

if wrist is broken badly enough, it may feel like someone elses hand though?

Hmm that's a good point

Good point.
Though it pains me even to think about it.

I know it's a bad idea, and I shouldn't do it, but RTS at $450k is calling my name

Will be Tui as fullback

Edit: I hope I'm wrong, we are far far a better side with RTS at fullback. But coach makes some strange calls every week.
