DONE!

Norman OUT Tedesco IN
Radradra OUT Bmoz IN

You have all been warned.

Does anyone have ANY guesses if Corey Norman will / might return?

You'd have to think he'll be out for a while, rest of season even.
Pearce got 8 weeks and he didn't break any laws.

Haha I had almost decided to dodge the KFP curse and go with BMoz instead of Teddy.

Now what am I going to do

I agree with the logical side of it.
But apparently because there was a video of Pearce that could be played all over the media (because they and the people love the visual drama), it brought the game into 'more' disrepute then what Corey Norman has.
For Norman, he was caught, plead guilty and that is that.

I found something suggesting possibly only 1 more week....

The punishment is supposedly going to be sorted out in the next couple of days, The Eels will probably decide on a game or two but the NRL will surely force a much bigger ban

Pick 4 reserves out of Lichaa, JBrom, Whitehead, Cartwright, ET, Gordon and Hurrell.

I'm leaning towards ET, JBrom, Whitehead and Carty. Lichaa may rack up 60 odd tackles against the Cows tho and it also means I'll have Gordon sitting on the pine but he and Hurrell are the least inspiring against their opponents this week.

IMO any player found guilty of drug possession such as in Norman's case deserve to be stood down for longer then 2 games. I don't care what club they play for.

I agree with this.
Eels will try to get the shortest possible penalty and it will be up to the NRL to determine if it needs extending.

Great minds think alike, if Bodene plays I will have to choose between Macca, Graham, Tolman, Surgess, Whitehead, Taylor, Guth and Hurrell

I will choose wrong

Jump on board and enjoy the crazy ride. I know those who don't have Bmoz will be hoping the KFP curse strikes. Time will tell...

Tough choosing a wfb/Ctr combo this week.
With Gutho back in the halves, Bird and Barba playing the Knights it makes it a bit tricky

Aitken/Bird
Munster/CWalker/Barba

Bench: Leilua,Gutherson,Mitchell

No room in reserves, Jtrbo is even sitting on the line this week

The knights have been gutted this week thanks to injuries and suspensions, Sharks will either rest players midway through or surely slaughter them

Rate my team for this week:

Smith
Graham Fifita (JTrbo)
Mannering Merrin Cartwright (Whitehead)
SJ Pearce (Cleary)
Gutherson Leilua (TTrbo)
Mansour Gordon Tedesco

Not playing / Injured:  Watson, Pauli^2, Thompson


This week's Trades:

Parcell ----- (Dockar / Lolohea ) -->  Tedesco

4 Trades Remaining
$199,000 Cash Remaining

I could choose to upgrade Pauli^2 with the spare cash, or wait till Watson hits around $300,000k and upgrade him instead into a full time hooker.  Either way I will have at least 19 players that I can rely on in case someone gets injured.
Lolohea ----- (Dockar) ----->   Watson

Well there's a lot of tough decisions there. Glad I've trimmed my options in that trouble area.
Atm have Aitken/Leilua, but could easily chuck Gutho in there.

Oh man works been so busy I completely forgot today is TLT, praise jeebus that's a a nice surprise to find in the morning.

Now to figure out how I balls up my team this week... Teddy and Fifi?

That's my plan

Seems like the obvious one, only thing is I'm not sure which of my FRF to upgrade to Fifi. Graham or JDB. Also that means leaving Norman on the pine another week and running with Cleary and SJ, though I can't see any must have halves jumping out at me as urgent trades, so perhaps that's the go.

Fuck Sake

Have Feeney already in my halves so can't move dump Norman for Munster and get Fifita - JTurbo in one foul swoop!

More prudent to get Fifita in this week and play Guth as he is playing in the halves and has the potential for a decent score and wait for Munster next week?
