That's probably it. Bye friendly centre cashout who's getting named in 19s who may or may not get spot over Origin. Only other one in that category is Curtis Scott, but Folau has the best byes.

What a dog!

Sounds like Aubbs is still recovering from illness...
I spend some time on the bench yesterday after being sick for 2 weeks

Apparently there were issues at Leichhardt after the game and Fifita was blowing up deluxe at someone straight after the final hooter. I thought it ws a Tigers player when I saw it but sounds like someone in the crowd launched a drink at him. Piss poor behaviour from our supporters if the case, but glad it was Fifita.

I feel hypocritical saying that but fuck him!

Hmmm aubs off bench still averages 35ish. Not end of the world to have a consistent 30+ player in ctr until rnd 12....most have sione there anyway who is a bigger risk

I'm not sure if everyone is serious about their outrage at Andrew Fifita, or if I'm missing the sarcasm font.
He was born in Australia, eligible for Tonga by ancestry. He hasn't represented Tonga since 2010. Why wouldn't he choose to play for Australia if selected? Is it just that he hasn't been a goose in a while and everyone is missing having something to be outraged at him for?

Having a terrible low scoring week (like most here)... But it looks like I'll maintain my number 1 spot in the party league despite losing my H2H.
My close competitors are in for a loss this week

I'm looking at you WL

Think it's more that he had a tanty that he wasn't selected for Aus and put his hand up for Tonga. They named him as apart of their side and would have been banking on him for sure. Then, the minute he can he leaves em high and dry to pull on an Aus jersey, (likely reason for more coin).

That and the fact that he's universally hated.

Will the carnage continue today??

Smith, SJ, JDB HIA's

With me trading Minnesota (damn you auto-correct) out for Kaysa "the dodge em car" Pritchard, expect a 60+ score from him

They interviewed him after the game on 2GB to find out what happened.

Apparently he took exception to the tigers fans that were holding up banners putting shit on Woods, Tedesco and Moses for treating the club the way they did.

I liked the one that said " Tedesco you're a cock" with a little rooster drawn next to it

On that Fifita note are people going to trade him out when bye rounds come about??? Made the Aus side now, incumbent NSW'er. I think Fifi to Nathan Brown could be a real goer come Round 12. Fifi will miss 12 and 13, Brown plays all the way up until 16

Wow really. Dont let that get out, tarnish his bad boy rep.

Johnson for 60+ today gents.

Yeah what Mearcats said. I wouldn't have a problem with it if he wasn't named for Tonga but the fact that he ditched them the second he could annoys the hell out of me. Shows no loyalty what so ever

Manlybeaver is kicking my ass atm so you should be sweet Chewie. It would be a total thrashing if he had captained Smith but he captained Crichton.
