Tolman & Mbye

If this is true, is it surprising that we are just hearing about it now?

It is true - 100%. Not surprising however that has taken so long to come out (I wonder if the NRL knew before now). It is low range drink driving however so not sure what sort of punishment if any they will hand out. I don't think they should fine him as no doubt he will already be receiving a fine from the Police, I think maybe spending time advocating the dangers of drink driving and meeting with several families who have lost loved ones due to drink driving.

To be fair, there's a difference between drink driving straight after sinking 10 beers as opposed to waking up after a big night and driving down the road to get some KFC.

A mate of mine was done one Sunday morning at 11am. He thought he was 100% fine - just the hungover tired feeling. But he blew 0.07 and had no idea he'd even register at all. So I sympathise in a way. But yes, still the law and everyone is held accountable for their actions.

It's .063 lets not lose our heads. You can legally drive at .05. He won't even lose his license.

Everyone should just move on with life, make examples out of the important examples otherwise we start to lose perspective and the point becomes diluted and less meaingful.

And I will be clear, I do not drink drive at all, and I never would, its a reckless and stupid act. But he is barely outside what is currently deemed to be safe.

Its like one of you being booked speeding at 80km/h in a 60km/h zone.

You've convinced me mate, thanks.  I know what you mean, every time he has the ball, instead of just running he really wants to draw some defenders and palm some people off and create some space for an offload.

Who would you bring him in for?

Whoops forgot to mention I was going to trade out Evans, as you mentioned. Evans time is up with the regular lads back and I truely think BJ is a keeper if he keeps doing what he does.

Taylor to DCE even though I sold him only 2 weeks ago?

@ KFP - I change my mind to Graham & Radradra due to the high b/e's of SJ (63) & Mbye (60)

Frank Farina got the sack from the roar for morning-after DUI - though his was higher range and wasn't his first offence

But, you would keep Tolman, SJ/Mbye wouldn't you? So the be's don't matter.

I'd go Tolman and SJ.

I think so. The 59 two weeks ago I don't think we'll see again unless he snags a try, which he probably will do now that we are trading him out haha. But I think his minutes aren't really likely to increase and he will sit around the 30-35 point mark. Liu to come back, along with Aubbs potentially going back to the bench at some point. Tauk to come back too.

BJ getting momentum and yeah he won't get that every week, but the ceiling is so much higher it's not funny.

Bloody Mary

You seem to be the most appropriate group to share this with.

Were you touched or contacted?

I think both SJ & Mbye won't reach their b/e's this week so will be cheaper down the track. I own Mbye & 1 week he scores well & the next he scores low. He's so inconsistent & up against the superb Eels defense this week he might have a low week. The Warriors I can see getting easily beaten against the Dragons this week & the Dragon's pack will dominate so I think SJ will score low as well. I do like Tolman & he's bottomed out.

Im drawing blanks. What does this mean? haha

Wow. Didn't this site get interesting the past hour or so.

Spend all day here, nothing really happens, go out for 1 hour and theres talk about Cheerleaders, coaches getting caught DUI.

@WL

Watch the Warriors bounce back this week

Fair enough. I need SJ to bounce back, but ummm, I'm not overly confident. I do like Tolman too, even he can wait a week and it won't do too much damage to the budget. He should be able to match Grahams scores for almost 100K less you would think.

After last week, they'd bloody have to..........you'd think.

Looks like the bad blood between Hook and Segy will continue. Nathan Cleary set to make debut this weekend for Panthers as well as Brock Lamb for Newcastle.
Looks as though Wallace will stay at Hooker but Cleary could also just be on the bench. Anyone trading in Ryan Matterson even though he is on the bench?

Broncoes could also be a lot different this week. Will Thaiday move into the prop rotation for Blair or will Wallace start and Herman Tank on the bench?
Gillette struggled through training with knee brace swapping in and out with Pangai. McGuire also could be in doubt but would say he will play.

Looks as though I have found my two cash out forwards in Asiata and Pangai Junior, hoping he doesn't play this week but next.
