@Archer @Bren @_RYNO you won the origin bet guys and get to choose my avatar! Congrats and I'm expecting something half decent when I get up for work in the morning! Up the Friz!

Does this affect many people?

What did you have in mind lads? Just the QLD logo or something like Thaiday in his budgie smugglers in the sheds? I heard he got a few tips from Tony Abbott.

I like Welshy, I think the QLD Logo is rough enough personally but if you can find a good one of Slammin Sam then I won't say no to that either.

@british1987 had him in the team he listed just recently didn't he?

Reynolds out means.... Inglis/Keary halves combo? Walker/Keary halves combo with Johnston at the back?

Will be good news for at least one Rabbitoh sitting outside the 17.

Yeah I was thinking the QLD logo would be enough also. However for your personal viewing pleasure I did find this ...

Speaking of Super League backs was anyone else a Sam Tomkins owner in 2014? Say what you will about his failure in the NRL but he was a genuine gun in the WFB position that year. Got a score of like 96 in a game once and averaged around 40+

I've got ARey in VSDT, which is a bit annoying

There was an article yesterday saying Paul Green may rest all origin players for the Monday night clash with Manly.

Just had a quick look at Hardaker super league stats.

The guy is a tackle break machine. Quick head calculation says he averaged low 40s last year. Puts him in the $370k range.

Typical superleague discount for guys who haven't played NRL before is 30%. But fanhub often play silly buggers with pricing.

Guy is a tackle break machine though, even by ESL standards Only 2 players got more than him last year, Mark Minichiello and Alex Walmsley

And if they price Hardaker on 2016 stats rather than last year, he'll be heaps cheaper because he's having a crap year

Reynolds out might be a problem for people waiting on Walker to get DPP. I was going to trade walker in this week for Mitchell, but if he doesn't get the DPP to let me move him I'll be short a WFB (well... playing Gutherson)

Looking to bring in another 2RF as cover for the run home (Already have Surgess, Jtbro, Whitehead and JDB). Was looking at either Merrin or Mannering. Merrin will play 1 more game on the run home then Mannering however Mannering could make up those points in the remaining games he will play. Is anyone else in this same situation and cannot decide between the two?

I'm going to sacrifice my backs and just stack my forwards and hope for the best. Trades this week are Mitchell to Opacic and Mau to Fifita. After round 18 i'll upgrade Gutherson to the best WFB I can afford (got 75k in the bank now, plus anything else that comes from forced trades due to injuries). Parcell will be my 18th man.

Current Team:

Smith, Parcell
Fifita, James, Graham, Kaufusi
JTrbo, Gillett, Mannering, Taupau, Whitehead, ET
Hunt, Norman, Cleary, Hughes
BJ, Holland, Talakai, Scott
Tedesco, Barba, Gutherson, Bowen, Opacic.

7 Trades.

Might want to keep an eye on Holland too.

What's the latest with Holland?
I heard BMoz isn't playing this week (he'd better not...) but I've only heard speculation as to what will happen and who will get moved around when he's back - nothing more solid about that from anyone?

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. It's not like there's an abundance of good CTR options anyway.
