Cam getting rested would suck balls.

Its hard to know what his minutes would be like when Rooster are full strength

Do we know which games?

Rd1 - lost to Eels 42-12
Rd3 - lost to Dogs 16-12
Rd4 - lost to Dragons 12-4
Rd5 - lost to Raiders 29-16
Rd6 - lost to Panthers 22-12
Rd7 - lost to Dogs 28-16
Rd10 - lost to Panthers 11-10
Rd12 - lost to Cowboys 18-14
Rd13 - lost to Broncos 44-10
Rd16 - lost to Souths 20-8
Rd18 - lost to Titans 38-6
Rd19 - lost to Cowboys 30-12
Rd24 - lost to Eels 20-16
Rd25 - lost to Roosters 46-10

Hard to really see anything there. Maybe round 1 against the Eels?
Would be interesting to see what the odds were for each game.

Rounds 16 + 24

its these two.

Great minds MTB, great minds...

i do seem to remember that souths vs manly game. i had manly +8.0 line (and now recall i was DIRTY they didnt cover it).

Common players in those two games:

Brett Stewart
Jorge Taufua
Peta Hiku
Steve Matai
KIERAN FORAN
DCE
J-Turbo
Matt Ballin
Feleti Mateo
James Hasson (worst fantasy player ever)
Ligi Sao
Justin Horo

One name seems to stick out in that list but that's just speculation based on goings-on this year.

I'm pretty sure that round 24 one against the Eels was the one that cemented their spot out of the 8. They were fucking shit if I remember rightly and the commentators were amazed at the performance of a team that were on the verge of making the 8. Even I remember how lackluster the performance was considering the Eels weren't playing great either.

Feel sorry for Toovs also if he had no part in any of this. That sucks.

Ummm.....I think we have one this year that rivals that lol.

Considering:

IN Sio Siua Taukeiaho $395,000
OUT David Bhana $211,000
IN Dylan Napa $460,000
OUT Javid Bowen $200,000

Cock-a-doodle-do!

There's already a name being thrown around
You'd have to be a snake to get involved in match fixing.

Fox Sports late mail saying Smith not expected to play.  but I think they have no source whatsoever.  This quote seems to kind of contradict itself though.

Neither Cooper Cronk or Cam Smith were named by Melbourne and aren’t expected to play given the toll Origin takes and Cronk’s ankle concern. Don’t be surprised if Bellamy springs changes with how his side lines up as a result after naming Tohu Harris and Kenny Bromwich at 7 nad 9 respectively.

Cam Smith to dual position half back after Cronk misses a few games?

Remember that debarcle last time? Classic.

what trades would you guys make:

parcel, nikorima
graham, fifita, gallen, fisher
lowe, mannering. fensom, burgess, bateman, pangai
milford, dce, reynolds, hughes
hurrell, aitke,, davis, sua
tedesco, inglis, munster, feeny, kennar

13 trades left and 654k in the bank.

im thinking parcell to smith
fensom to bromwich (or bodene)

or swap parcell for smith straight out

h2h only

Whats this about Fensom taking part in the Captains run? Good thing the Raiders play first so we can see whether he lines up or not.

Hurrell not training with the wider-group and reportedly unlikely to play.
