What usually happens to origin game 3's when the series is already won, do they still play full strength or experiment?

Is that you Laurie?

Would like some advice in regards to bringing in guys that aren't keepers but could be useful as part of the squad. After trades I will have 8 remaining and 5k

Parcell and Lolohea > Ennis and Gordon will give me this team:

Smith, Ennis
Graham, Brom, Tolman, JWH
Thompson, Mannering, Surgess, Whitehead, Carty, Taylor
Milf, Cleary, JLJ, Feeney
Aitken, Holland, Gutherson, Scott
Semi, Gordon, Barba, Mitchell, Munster

Is it nescessarily a bad thing to have this much depth in the squad??

Will also give me 14 in Rd18 and 17 in Rd19

No, he won't be a bench player again for the rest of the season. He will likely score more than 30 points per game on average.

Don't be surprised if he manages to score 70+ against Titans.

I've gone dizzy thinking about the possible WFBs so I give up. Napa to Bodene leaves me with 8 trades.

Team for the week

Smith
Graham JBrom (Jtrbo Surgess)
James Bodene Mannering (ET SST)
SJ Cleary
Aitken BJ
Barba Mitchell Gutherson/Munster

They will play full strength.
QLD aren't giving up the opportunity of a clean sweep
NSW have 11 new faces, the only blokes left are retiring or the new leadership team, so they will be given their swan song ( that is if you call the current NSW team full strength)

Alright cheers

Ok here's my team. 8 trades left, 8 in the bank. I think it's pretty much done, except for maybe one or two upgrades in the forwards. I kind of would like to kill off my auto emergencies (Felise cost me Buhrer's 42 last round, never mind Cleary). I'm not that well set for the last bye rounds, but I'm done with fucking around. What's the point of fantasy if you can't have your fantasy team? Barba and Mitchell out for Tedesco and Walker. Wish I could squeeze BJ in there too but I guess you can't have everything...

Smith, Buhrer
Graham, Bromwich, Tolman, Felise
SBurgess, Merrin, Mannering, Cartwright, Whitehead, ETaylor
BHunt, SJohnson, Cleary, Hughes
TTurbo, Aitken, Holland, Talakai
Tedesco, Munster, Walker, Gutherson, CScott

That's a pretty cool line.

Latest is Round 17. Some talk of a late inclusion but this sounds like hope more than anything considering they play Friday.

Semi Rad given two days additional leave. Will play vs Sharks.

I don't believe it. (I read the article too, but I really don't think he's coming back.)

Shit the Eels are really bending over backwards to please him. Are they giving head as well?

Do you really want to be stuck with Copley as an a.e. You'd be better off going to a nuffie because in reality he'll only score 10-20 points in round 18.

Yeah, I thought that. Might go Manu and he should only play next week.

I might trade him either way, the fucker obviously doesn't want to play NRL.

I like that idea much better mate. Manu looked a really good player when he played against the Warriors & was very busy/involved. Even if he got more games I think he'd score in the 30-40 range which is ok.

A lot of talk this morning on BSB about it and a lot of talk about how much effort they have made with him behind the scenes and off the field with innuendo about him and partner and people have their noses massively out of joint at what he's done considering the situation and they have threaten to sue him if he doesn't come back.

SBW did the runner years ago & nothing really happened to him. They banned him for a couple of years I think. Look at his brand now & what he's done. If Semi wanted to leave & go to French rugby they would pay all his bills no worries. The French millionaires wouldn't give a toss as long as the got their man.
