Anything is possible but he would only be an injury away I am keeping a close eye on him and if I wasnt bringing in Hess it would be Angus.

You're bringing in Hess

I might have to reverse trading Hess in with the amount of players that get injured in your selection

@Rabbit @aardvark ratnick ?

Not unless an injury imo.

Jennings could play the entire season or he could get dropped in a few weeks - has DPP and negative b/e

Abbey is definitely getting dropped in a few weeks

KFP curse is going to strike CWalker and Hess this round. Last week it was Moga and Burns.

Traded in and playing Jennings in Ultimate this week. Prepare for the worst.

Wonder if McQueen will play CTR again?

Well if they don't get an exception for Copley (or someone else outside the 21) to come in then they only have 17 players left and someone will have to move out of position to centre.

Greenwood started at lock last week - he might get put there again. I thought he got injured too last week - but hasn't been mentioned anywhere this week so I assume he is good to go

James Hooper on twitter suggesting Stimon and Leuluai out for Storm. Bromwich playing and Slater from the bench

Interesting thoughts from Ikin regarding the Cowboys pack and Hess;

There’s the starting pair of premiership veteran Scott Bolton and Maroons aspirant Patrick Kaufusi, and behind them there’s some fun to be had.

Taumalolo’s two-week ban puts the experiment on hold but Ikin reckons he could be just as good at prop, which is where things get interesting and where the above “animal” reference comes in.

“Shaun Fensom is a very handy player for the Cowboys to have right now,” Ikin told the Fox Sports Market Watch podcast this week.

“If he comes in and plays lock forward, which is a middle position these days - even if he’s different to Jason Taumalolo - you could effectively play Taumalolo in the front row, as you could with Coen Hess.

“Hess was described to me last week as an animal and not too far off being State of Origin ready.

“There’s not a direct replacement for Scott but Fensom moving into lock forward may allow Paul Green to reshape his forward pack and give it a different look. It would potentially be just as dangerous.”

I'll hold Jacks for sure, but won't play him with this news.

Still a potential rubbish AE from Jacks as he may only get half a game at best.

At least he'll still make some money this week.

Slater to do a Young T and not get on the field? haha

What would Slaters BE be? If he only plays a few minutes, he might be a good pickup at an even better price if he stays fit.

McInnes (+40k) vs Brailey (+46k)

I'm glad I picked McInnes cash wise so far #teamMcInnes #twinCam

Jacks might play the 80 and slater may come on and play a roving role for 15-20 mins. Still tossing up going with jacks over elgey

If they move Taumalolo and Hess to prop and have Fensom at lock I'll be laughing. Have both Fensom and Hess in Ultimate draft. Took a gamble in picking up Fensom before his move to the Cowboys so could pay off in the long run.
