Mansour to Radradra is a little sideways imo, you picked a winger so you know what you're getting with that. Go Munster and take the hit on the byes.

Could you go Hodgson instead of Lichaa? Hastings to Hunt is better depending on your other HLFs

Can do Hodgson. Other halves are Milford and Johnson so pretty stacked already

.@Kangaroos skipper Cameron Smith avoids sanction after touching referee during @storm's victory over Warriors #NRL

On the one hand im happy as a Smith owner, however another part of me thinks the Judiciary are gutless. They have already set precedent with the no touching rule with McKendry suspension but haven't got the balls to enforce it on JT and now Smith

1 David Fusitu’a

16 Albert Vete
17 Shaun Lane
18 James Gavet

All of a sudden, our bench looks weak lol.

game is in NZ too, cant wait for halligan's extended dribble AND NOW FAN FAVOURITE THE GUBBINATOR CHARGES INTO THE DEFENSE

Why on Earth is Kenny Maumalo languishing in reserve grade?
Surely he's a better option than Jono Wright. Gotta throw a bit of caution to the wind at this stage.

I swear the Warriors need to throw the ball around a bit more and play their natural game.

They played that one-out-from-the-ruck bullshit last night and the Storm hammered them for it.

Lolohea only out for 2 weeks supposedly.

Holy crap, they haven't completely forgotten about Gavet. Eagerly awaiting a video of a Warrior forward doing some dumb shit yesterday

Anything I can get out of Gavet to fund my Tedesco drive over the coming weeks would be fkn fantastic.

Halligan vs Joel Caine. Not sure who I prefer. Sack the two of them as well as McFadden.

The problem is that his break-even is like 24.
He'll come in, play and score like 19 points and lose cash

Breakeven still only 39 so not getting any cheaper too.

Roll on 5pm for the rest of these team lists.

I might as well just hold Lolohea.  That probably means he'll only miss the one fantasy round and be back after the rep weekend.  Possibly Mannering too for those who have him.  Trading a player in only to trade him out the very next weeks hurts so much.

i reckon cheekam might finally get a crack this week

THE NEXT JACK DE BELIN. JUST NEED GUBB TO GET A PONYTAIL

I am outraged. Maybe it's compounded over the course of the past few weeks, but I literally have steam coming out of my ears and this once great game is in jeopardy of losing many many die hard long term fans.

A mixture of players lying down to win penalties, players being penalised and put on report for 'tackling too hard', the bunker constantly getting decisions wrong, referees sending EVERYTHING to the bunker in the first place and now the judiciary/match review committee has gone and topped it off.

How can players like McKendry, Foran, Adam Reynolds, Klemmer plus countless others be charged for contacting the referees, yet Thurston and King Cammy Smith be totally let off the hook altogether? Are they fucking serious? I have had enough. This is the biggest punch in the face to the regular fan. What are the NRL as a whole playing at? This is as blatant as it gets. Looking after the elite echelon of players at the expense of everyone else.

I am sick of tearing my hair out day by day at decisions by NRL officials - both on field and off field. I have had enough and I'm sure alot of you have as well. Enough is enough. Todd Greenburg needs to step in and straighten this mess out. I have grave fears at where the game of rugby league is heading. We are losing fans.

V.Leuluai, Gavet, Carter, Feeney, Cullen/Taylor, Henry, HHunt, T-Turbo, Gutherson

This is my team pre-trades, not terrible but too many red dots and halves are in need up an upgrade.

Jesus christ there's a filthy looking NPR list

Yeah, I'm gonna hold Lolohea now with the break weekend coming up.

HHunt and Ash Taylor out for Munster and Lamb. Don't really care if Lamb plays or not, can potentially move Barba into the halves via Feeney if disaster strikes.

119k left to turn Hastings into BHunt next week.

Yep, would have loved to have snaffled him for the Tigers.

RUOK SI, your a bit delusional. Tigers don't buy good players, and besides, good players don't want to go to the Tigers either But I like your thoughts
