There goes that trade idea.

Inglis cops 3 match ban.

Not really clear on Fifita, but I'm guessing he cops it.

If anyone needs a hooker from next week, Hodgson looks like a good option all of a sudden.

Yeah, Sharks have reported that Fifita is taking the early guilty plea.

I'm guilty too!

I AM SPARTICUS!

Fucking great. At least we know now I guess.

Lol, just noticed my work draft league this week has Fifita, BJ and Semi with Nofo and Lowe on the bench hahahaha.

I think I'll bring in Mannering and JBrom for Lowe and Claw. ANy other option under JBrom's price I should look at, need a Forward cause I only got Fifita and Surgess in my front row with Ese and Leulani on the bench.

Smith and Munster better fucking play.

Happy Birthday to the forum Godfather @Random .  His only wish is for a half decent Fantasy team next year.  Sometimes miracles do happen.

Did you steal this from me? This is one of my favourite internet pics ever

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY, RANDOM!

Guilty .  

First time I saw it was on your FB DP a few years ago.  Have never used it but seems apt for Random's Fantasy team.

I should've joined a draft league. Pretty sure I won the one I was in last time just because I'd grab the free players as soon as the round opened haha.... that and half the league left mid season and didn't maintain teams.

Nathan Brown or Mitch Barnett ($284K, BE 0, L3 avg 50) are options

Hahaha got a few good reactions on FB if I recall, my mate (who passed away) loved it. Think she stole it too.

Oh man, so good...

Barnett is an interesting prospect indeed.

Mutalino's price, DPP and last 3 game average is tempting me.

Thurston is an interesting choice, he has had too many mediocre scores this year for an elite hlf, yet last season he averaged a whopping 60 from round 19 onwards. With the Cowboys making their run to the finals and 4 home games he could be a good choice. Alternatively there is Pearce who's scoring well and is somewhat of a POD.

Feel like JT is at such a good price considering the usual late charge from the Cowboys, especially as they try push for a top 4 spot in that log jam there is currently. But Pearce is interesting. Would give me a major POD and an extra body for this round. Would mean Gallen might not be happening next round but could always look to upgrade to him and possibly a Matterson to JT upgrade down the line as I sell off Gutho in one of my final moves

Rabbits have officially sacked Auv'ua.

Good news for Hodgson as I got him last week. With Fifita out it takes me down to 12 players & fucks up my loophole option. Hopefully Talakai will come in with Inglis out & Auva'a sacked but he seems to be injured/out of favour.

He picked up a nasty knee injury against the Eels a few weeks ago. Not sure what was reported in regards to the timeframe of the injury.

How does 12 players fuck up your loophole out of interest?

I meant with Fifita (c) & Smith (vc) not the amount of players.

Duh me. Yeah, I had Fifita locked in as captain too. Don't know if I'm confident putting it on Smith at this stage unless we hear more tomorrow. Might put it on Merrin again or new recruit Mannering.
