Yes, no Ben Hunt!!!!

Aubo back to starting in the forwards..whew
I know he was suffering from an illness so perhaps that explains being benched last week?
One positive at least

Jennings dropped doesn't help, Idris ACL........
CHN on bench

Fun times

Idris to Aubbs a good idea?

Frawley starting, Elliot on bench.

Ponga out, Hess to bench.

Nightingale to FB, Milne to wing, Field on bench.

Nofo named, MWZ number 21.

Same Souths lineup with Burns coming in for Rennings.

Carty 6, CHN number 17, TMM number 21, Harris starting.

Harris on bench, Jacks on bench too.

Hayne still at Centre.

No Ben Hunt.

Hodko 18th man.

Aubbo back to starting lineup.

Bevan French number 20.

Nice to see Yates named 13, hope theres not a late switch.
CHN to bench is a worry, may need to be traded pretty quickly.
Hampton also needs to go.
Idris not urgent.
Souths named Johnston at FB, not sure if there will be a late switch there (as earlier reported walker to fb).

Kinda funny to see the green light next to Abbey even though he will definitely not play.

Lot to ponder over the next few days.

It could be, but I'm gonna wait a week. Make sure Aubbs definitely starts and not sure what his BE is, but it should drop.

To be honest, I'll be surprised if CHN stays in the 17. Low BE so if he doesn play off the bench, he's a definite hold for now.

So what are Rennings owners going to do? Just hold him until the bye rounds and see if he plays then or cash him out?
Guess he ain't going to lose cash while he's out but his cash could help fund some upgrades and I might need like you know 4-5 trades over a period to build my ideal bye round team.

I think Hess to Brown might be my only trade. Lamb could make his BE as could Winterstein. Ponga can sit for a couple of weeks at least til round 12. Looking at Hayne for Idris although he'll play Origin, not that it will matter too much, but could wait for Aubbs or even Semi. Will have to play Suli, Kelly, Lamb or Frawley though, or CHN if he plays.

Can anyone tell me more about the Nofoaluma out rumours.

MWZ was a big part of my plans. Seems like back to the drawing board.

I get the feeling there is going to be a lot of game day changes. For example, I think Tohu starts and pushes kbrom or felise to the bench (my bet is kbrom as I'm not sold on Stimson and Nichols as the prop rotation and I doubt Bellamy is either). Also think this might be a bad game for Jack's scoring, with his likely use giving someone like cronk an early 10-15min spell (belly getting the rep player management in early) and that's it.

ugh, Elliot back to bench, will keep an eye on things in case this is ones of Des's "21. Frawley" things, but i did have an eye on George Fai as a DPP nuffie with Round 12 points, might toss Hess for him if Des is playing it straight.

He busted his knee in the last game and finished the game basically on one leg. There hasn't really been anything official except a few sources saying that he is in serious doubt. Don't be surprised if he doesn't play.

I also think it's probably even money Maubs gets benched come game day. It's how he gets you, introduce uncertainty, lead you on with a starting spot and then bam, bait and switch.

I agree, I think there will be loads of changes for most games.

In regards to Storm, I think Felise is safe, KBrom will be the one to miss out on minutes for Tohu IMO.

This is actually a great week to conserve trades if possible, so much uncertainty.

I think I'll pull the trigger on Hess to Brown though, that's probably about it. Would toss Winterstein for Elliot if he starting, and still might if he starts.

Who is boyle in the team for? I had assumed it was because I of the proctor shuffle but then I noticed he played 40min last week.

Nofo picked up a leg injury against the Sharks.

He played out the game, but was pretty much on one leg for most of it. Not much info coming out about how severe it was - but some suggestions he hadn't fully recovered.

Anyone know anything about Victor Radley? Named as 19 for the Roosters

Hmm is it for passi I wonder. Nope sorry milch, rad name though...
