True that

Good point. Pending team lists. I would prefer to keep him as long as I can actually, BE is like 18 or something.

Same, I am hoping for another couple of 80min games before origin so I can upgrade easier

My question is, will anyone still be playing Hastings in their halves with Pearce back next week? Probably the wrong week for it, but I brought in Johnson over Harris because of it. With Pearce getting kicking duties and most of the ball, didn't see Hastings score well so wanted 2 Guns in HLF position (Hunt and Johnson). I might not even run him in 17 next week until I see how it pans out.

All teams TLT are meaningless really until 1 hour before kick off.

Barrett said in the post match conference that Parcell should be back next week, almost played today. Also said Korisau in doubt with a lower back problem.
It was good to hear him say that Walker could play fullback, at least it shows that he may consider moving him from 5/8.

I am not that up to date with Manly reserves, besides Walker, do they have a viable WFB besides TTrbo and Stewart (I don't see either playing with a 5 day turn around)?

Agreed, so many late changes every week.

Walker will not be the Manly FB.

I doubt Mannering will play this weekend after hearing that he was being rushed off to a surgeon after tearing through the muscles in his jaw. OUCH!

Tui and Mannering would've hurt a lot of people.

All 17 of the Warriors hurt me.

Not on the app yet but in the nrl.com match centre

Jturbo 85
Taupau 69

Kims 58
Mullen 47

Missed the game, what happened to T-Turbo and Stewart?

Stewart with his usual hammy complaint. TTRbo syndesmosis/high ankle sprain I think they said.

Hamstring for Stewart, ankle for Tommy Turbo.
Tommy's looked the worse of the 2.

Tom Trbojevic has a high ankle strain (same as DCE) - likely out for one month

Who else do they have? Williame at FB

Good question. Currently have Bunt Hastings Taylor Feeney. I am considering bringing in Norman for byes.

Options:

1. Play Hastings
2. Play Taylor
3. Trade Taylor for Norman
4. Trade Hastings for Norman.
5. Move Feeney back to WFB for RTS and bring in Norman.
6. Bring in another gun.

Thoughts

I might have to for lack of a better option although I might be able to get Hunt in. I wanted to hold Hastings because of his good bye schedule but not at the expense of getting a genuine keeper I suppose.
There's no real way to tell how he'll score with Pearce back before he's played one game with him though. He scored 54 today and that was with only 8 points from kick metres. Definitely a wait and see for me.

Managed to avoid most of the carnage, only Parcell and TMM to worry about, as far as I know.

Also got 69 from my WFBs but jagged 925 overall. Up about 800 places in the rankings to 746 so happy with that.

Cant bring myself to trade out Mansour? For those who have him is he a hold? Last 3 round average is only 26-27 points.

It'll be great if Brock Lamb gets a chance perfect replacement for TMM. Be good to see Seggy back too
