Thank goodness. Round 13 I don't have a lot of good C options so Keptin Mannering will come in handy

McCullough will still score pretty well, and indeed may continue playing 80, moving to lock or something when Niko comes on.

McInnes might be a better bet. After this week he'll only miss 1 more game, and is scoring pretty well.

As always, very insightful. Thanking you

Does TLT this arvo cover off updates re: injuries and hopefully a more accurate return date? Norman was always part of final 17 and running extremely low on trades so I would like to avoid if possible but not at the expense of losing potential points each week.

Dogan, Stahp.

Milchy would love for follow to come back to league too.
Maybe play gidley in the centres as well as off the bench and have adam blair playing for the aussies.

bring back nemo, zapp and lozza! (glad stew is still around!)

In other news, Warriors have signed Pulu for next year and re-signed Gavet.
Goodbye Matulino and Gubb.

Kearney live on radio now - re Mannering the dumb arse journalist asked a ton of stupid questions but forgot to ask about an update on their best player. Good to see him named in the 13 but I was hoping to hear Kearney say something about exactly where he is at.

Where's Westie ?

CNK is named starting at 2. We bringing him in or what lads?

Bought him in the week he was named to debut #onestepahead

Do test matches count towards bans? Is Gurgess back this round or next?

I'd say you've missed the boat.

Too expensive to be a cash out. Not going to score well enough to be used in your 17. Other than playing him this week, what are you going to do with him?

Also his acerage of 31 includes 4 tries in 3 games. Doesn't look like he's going to be a killer fantasy scorer.

I brought him in when he was 138k as a cash out with hopes he would play round 12 but don't think I would be willing to spend 196k on him when he was lucky to crack 20 points last week. Would prefer the extra 58k and get a basement price guy if you are looking to cash out someone.

Test matches count. But Gurgess wasn't named in the England squad (not surprising as he was facing a suspension at the time)

Theoretically he should be available this week, as Bennet has said he would have been picked if available

But can't find any article more recent than that one to suggest what the outcome was.

Guess we find out soon anyway.

Knowing our luck in fantasy land Gurgess will take Fui's spot!!

Niko on the bench, Benji at 6, Waddell starting, fuck off Bennett.
