Yeah i would hate watching if I wasn't a supporter of the dogs. Going for the dogs makes it just abit easier to watch cause you hope this will be the game they change

I would never bench a FRF/2RF for a WFB. A WFB could get anywhere from 5-80 and you expect a gun forward to get 40-60. Just depends how risk averse you are i guess

Cheers.  I will sleep on it, I think the Broncs solid defense might hamper Semi a bit.  Got the Duff Man but no point not playing him if I traded him in. Tempting to bench Edwards instead but he can rack up a score pretty easily.

kahu will put his body on the line, semi aint gettin any free tb's tomorrow

Surgess to JTurbo.

Stop making good trades Honeysett, I believe I am up against you in Eliminator!!!

Wouldn't count on it mate, I don't even have any dogs players for the first time in years (due to grahams injury this year). This team is such a hot mess, our players aren't playing for Dessie anymore and are just coasting right now

With the injury doubts, there are some WFBs I would play ahead of Surgess this week, althoughnot sure Dufty or Semi are amongst them.

If he's fit enough to play - you'd think Surgess should be able to pump out a 40. I would want reasonable expectations of more than that from any WFB I played instead of him

Thanks mate. Yeah, I'm leaning towards playing Surgess and benching Semi. Broncs goal line defense has been great so I think points will be a lot harder for him to come by.

Can't pass up the gamble of Duff Man against the Knights though.

Anyone that's unsure about Duff Man due to job security, could be sweet;

DRAGONS centre Euan Aitken’s luckless 2017 continues with the 22-year-old looking at an extended stint on the sidelines after picking up a shoulder injury whilst scoring a try against Manly on Sunday.

Aitken has scored six tries in just 11 appearance this season but has been limited by ongoing hamstring problems. His shoulder injury adds to that frustration.


"Upon consultation with a shoulder specialist it was determined that the best course of action for Euan’s shoulder injury is conservative management with the hope that he may be able to return to play this season," the club’s head of performance Nathan Pickworth said.

Haha probably.

Got a facebook one last week showing the photos of an exploded BBQ that almost killed me haha, it's like 'remember this day'.

Still had a laugh though

A friend just asked me, Peach or Fui?? I dunno.

Haha, same thing just happened to me. It gave me hope that somehow I had forgotten I still had trades left, only for it to crush my dreams
