I'd be amazed if Papalli backs up straight away. Equally you can't see the Cowboys needing JT against the Knights. Expect Soliola to 2rf and Paulo to debut.

On the other hand, if CS9 isn't a late inclusion I'll eat my hat. Cronk with his injury cloud less so.

Hopefully Feeney is injured so I can take Bateman's AE while having to play Feeney as a WFB.

He seems a useless player but does Dale Copley suddenly become a cashout option playing Rnd 15 and 18?

I think Papa will back up, he did so after game 3 last year when it was only 2 days (although that was a bit of a walk in the park for our mob). You are spot on about Paulo though, I'd say he and Tapine will swap places, this is just a nice way of recognising Tapine's game last week.

17/18 for this week

CS9 Parcell
Surgess(c) JGraham JBrom JTrbo
Mannering Whitehead ETaylor ELowe (Bateman)
SJ DCE
Leulia Lolohea
Munster Mitchell Feeney

If Smith is out I'll cop Bateman's AE, which should be meaty with him starting at lock. Ideal situation is Smith plays and Feeney doesn't so I get Bateman's score that way.

Fensom dropped or injured?

If Papa plays wouldn't it be more likely Paulo comes in for Priest?

Sorry I wasn't very clear there. I think Paulo will go to 10, Tapine back to the bench and Priest to drop out.

In my mind I'd already swapped Priest and Paulo, whoops.

Ouch!

Whats in the water over Bondi way, Copley coming back about 7 weeks earlier then predicted.

Well that sucks. I was already struggling for 17 this week but now I'm also missing Smith and Gillett.

Is Fensom injured or dropped?

I think this will be my trade for this week. Hastings seems to be on the outer and Pearce has had 3 good scores in a row.

The word on J. Hastings was that after the Titans game he had a "set to" with Friend because he reckoned Friend wasn't passing him the ball.

Sorry didn't see this post. When I posted a very similar question

Who to bring in? 

Mannering or Thompson?

Trades this week:
Macca out & J. Friend in
Fensom out & ET in.

Gives me 15 including Feeney & Smith. Will loophole with Leilua (vc) & J. Friend (c)

I don't have him but yeah, Gillett was a shock.

If it's good enough for you Tark then I might just have a looksee myself

Team this week:
J. Friend (c), CS9
J. Graham, J-Trbo, Grant
Surgess, Whitehead, ET
B. Hunt, Mbye
Leilua (vc), Holland
Mitchell, Barba, Feeney ?

The thing that scares me off Mannering is his most recent scores (plenty of 40's in there throughout the year so far). Thompson with a low score of 49 is amazing.

Is Gillett a sell? I was thinking of trading him the last 2 weeks (Glad I didn't do it a fortnight ago oy I'd have been mad) with precisely the thought he could be rested over Origin.
Who to trade him to though out of Bodene, Mannering, Ryan James or Whitehead???

BEs

Thompson has been gunning it for a while and just doesn't seem to get much love around here.

Pain wrote:Is Fensom injured or dropped?

He's been carrying a niggle for a while, so I think its being sold as 'resting' but I think if you look at his recent form and minutes with the strength of the pack we have, its a lot closer to dropped.

There is also a poster on the GH claiming they have mail its a drop because he makes too many errors and doesn't bend the line, but I couldn't tell you how reliable that is. He did say that Fensom wouldn't be in the team list a day or two ago though so it could be true and it doesn't seem so far fetched.
