I notice Sironen named to start.

Was he any chance at being disciplined over his door-smash in the pub incident - or is that just going to go away quietly?

If the decision has to come out of the NRL then it could take a while, if they don't forget about it with everything else going on. Are they supposed to make a decision on the players caught with cocaine? The clubs have, but the integrity unit has been quiet, like the Siro incident.

These decisions come out of the NRL like next years salary cap decision. The NRL are just awfully fucking slow at anything they do these days.

Yes they are... it changed a couple weeks ago...
Something to do with the Green Machine... it was a point of discussion a few threads back.

Thank you mate, I had considered Hayne against the Storm may not be the best.

Just unsure on the Frawley and Brailey spot.

I'm considering leaving Sutton out?

I haven't really seen Sutton's scores recently, but from memory he was doing pretty well this year when playing at 2nd row. Given that he's up against the tigers i could see him picking up a fair number of attacking points through LB's, TB's, Offloads etc (running at the tigers speed bumps aka halves) and then having to do a fair bit of tackling to make up for the gumbies around him.

Good point, I'll watch Frawley for a week and see how he plays and leave Hayne out. Thanks

Idris gone annoys me, I wanted to ditch Suli for Munster and run Idris and SMat in the CTRs

Can't afford Idris - Munster via dpp switches now!

Faaark. Aubbuson really gets you doesn't he? Had Aubs-Munster locked in but reversing it now he's named in 13 and with his juicy byes. Thinking of burning extra trade cashing out CHN to (for want of anyone else) Fai, and Idris to Munster. Then with Aubs playing last will have to put (R) on him and be ready to switch it to JWH (Ttrbo and SMat starting centres, so I'm strong there).

Question then is choose two reserves out of Brailey, Yates, Niko and Hayne? Not keen on Hayne playing centre vs Storm.

Just traded in Hayne for Idris. Who do I play out of Hayne or Cotric?

Have to feel for Idris. Poor lad

As for fantasy for him it's just annoying that he didn't get the chance to easily lift his value to 300k. Can just see him rotting on the bench now as not much cash out value there for a proper upgrade elsewhere.

In a usual week, I'd say Hayne. But this week with Hayne vs best defensive team in comp and Cotric vs worst I'd go Cotric.

No worries, if your gut says Hayne over Semi don't be afraid to back it, you'll kick yourself more for taking someones adivce over your own instincts rather than vice versa. With Hayne trying to impress for Origin and Semi no longer having the court case I honestly think its a coin toss and matchup's don't mean everything (I just had a hard time separating them so went with that).

Idris - Semi worth it for byes?

chance he starts flashing again

Cotric for me. We're playing the knights

Need to play 2 of Sione, Moga, Suli or Hayne.

Any ideas?

You know I didn't even look at the draw and noticed I still have the R on Simpkins. I'll play them both

Cheers GM and Rhino!

I'm all for playing outside backs based on fixtures but there I think I'd just go with the best 2 - Sione/Hayne

Moga to start Hayne bench a possibility?

Suli only if Nofo ruled out and he has to pick up some of the dummy half slack

Agree

Which means we are likely to spend 60min behind, only to catch up right at the end and force it into extra time because god knows why but the Knights seem to give us a fright recently.

My pick would be Sione & Moga. However I could be persuaded to play Suli instead of Sione due to Sione's concussions.

I don't think Sione is the best and I'm getting sick of seeing him in my team. He's a soft cock that stays down every time the breeze blows against his head

Is now the week to offload ponga?

Do I go Munster or turbo? Or even Hayne?
