"He spent the night in hospital. Structurally, it's okay - it's rib cartilage. But they're a painful injury and it's whether he can tolerate it or not for this week," Arthur said on Thursday."

Wow hes one tough SOB

Needle that fucker! But yeah, apparently they are horrible and the bloke played on with it for 15 minutes after doing it.

Well he needs to play on for another 80 tomorrow if he goes on the field!

If I bring one of them in this week I am leaning towards Tolman. If it had have been a month or 2 back it would have been Graham. In saying that cash is not an issue for me, however trades are.  If the cashed saved with Graham grabs another handy upgrade then Graham might be the better 'risk'.

Yeah thats the cuntox situation whereby Tolman costs more than his blonde counterpart.

Is it correct SST's minutes will increase or bounce ?

Round 12 & 18 he'll play 80 mins but revert to the norm when they are at full strength.

Who do we need to call to make it 80 mins each week ?

His mother. She would march down to Robinson's office & make him an offer he can't refuse. I wonder if he owns a horse.

What do you mean, some sort of breeding/heifer proposition ?

Of course. Heard its a great cocktail also

Ive got Smith n Cook. Flabbergasted. Hodgson / Friend / Farah... someone sway me ? As im thinking keep Cam and upgrade Cook now. Burned trades pretty solidly up until now.

Apparently rib cartlidge tears hurt a lot more than broken ribs.

Quick story: My Dad slipped on the boat ramp pre-fishing trip a couple years back and landed on the tow ball. Still went fishing and only after being grumpy for two weeks eventually Mum made him go get checked out. Sure enough he'd broken four ribs. So yeah, surely broken ribs can't be that bad because no way my Dad is that tough a cunt haha.

Same thing happened when I broke my thumb except I still have no idea how I did it. Just realised it had been hurting for a while and turns out it was broken and a torn ligament. Sucks. Surgery was hilarious though. Apparently I told the doctor he was boring and tried to roll over before going to sleep. I probably just wanted a hot nurse.

I've done both- broken ribs (multiple) and rib cartilage. Rib cartilage is a much more intense pain and feels like you're having a heart attack or something. Will put you on the floor real quick.

Is McCullough expected to be back next week?

He was cleared of serious damage wasn't he? So just 1 week off probably OK

Either buy Friend and sell him in 19 if he isn't putting up keeper scores or keep Cook and find a way to upgrade him to McInnes next week

From everything the bronx have said he should be fine to go next week

Keep Cookie, the dumb cunts that got him in thinking Farah will be picked and Seggy will ruin Brailey got him in for the bye rounds - may as well use the fuck.

I'm one of those dumb cunts.

Revraiser wrote:Is anyone worried about Graham and recent head knocks etc continuing? Not sure if i should go McGuire to Graham or Tolman ?

I wasn't but that does make me feel better about having to wait until next week to get him.

Brown or Watson as a cash out for Norman?
Halves will be Milf, Niko, Frawley, Brown/Watson. Will look to upgrade Niko to Munster before Rd15

Norman>Sj
Idris>Radradra
Jennings>Nu Brown

Super simple for me this week
Get rid of Jennings for a cash out that happens to play 2 bye rounds since Jennings won't be playing any part in the byes. Get rid of Idris who is gone for the season for an improving Radradra that plays 3 major byes. Norman gone for the period he is useful for keeper that plays this week. Decided SJ over Reynolds cause I don't want to be short for 13
