Reports Tom Trbojevic failed his fitness test yesterday, “another couple of days and he would’ve played”. Should be no problems for a return next weekend for @SeaEagles fullback. Via @BigSportsWend

Yeah that's the tweet I saw but couldn't substantiate it

Cameron smith scoring big. Funny. As. Fuck.

I mean, yeah I sold him. Can only laugh.

Hope you had more success than me, I spent the morning flicking for bream and flatties from the shore and got sweet FA. Should have slept in!

Turbo isn't playing

*Never trade Cameron Smith

Just remember trading Smith out is a terrble idea, always.

The last time you could have benefited by trading Smith out, was way, way back in 2017.

I am still somewhat sour about selling Smith, but only because I shortsightedly want his 80 points this week. In retrospect it was still probably the right move for me personally. I have Cartwright and Croker in the halves and it was the only way I could find enough cash to throw at that gaping hole without cutting a cow like RFM or TPJ 100k before peaking. Macca will give me acceptable captains scores in the meantime and seeing as I swapped Cam for Arrow I should make 50k or so on that this week. Probably a bit of cognitive dissonance going on here, but looking at my team I just don't know how I could have fixed my terrible halves (and Isaako in the centres) without cutting a big gun.

If he scores another 80 next week ima be pissed though ^_^

One rainbow trout that grew post death to meet the size limit. Expert fish chiropractor. Caught a thumping hang over.

Carty confirmed bench, so Maloney confirmed into my team

This rule didn’t exist in 2017.

Looks like Fanhub added it back in February 2018

Also interestingly, if Titans win today- 6 of the top 8 are teams I predicted in my bottom 8.

And I thought I knew how to NRL :/

For those who make decisions based on this kind of thing, considering how much the poor weather has been talked up this week, the sky is clear and the field is dry in Gladstone

Me too I think.

Done the same.

This trade will make or break my season

Show some enthusiasm lads! It's James f'n Maloney!

Also, completely off topic to NRL and fantasy, but I’m watching the Capras/Bears curtain-raiser - I knew Dave Taylor was always a big guy, but these days he has a physique that can only be described as ‘square’

Not too pissed about Turbo. I'll get Havili's 46 which is around my average expectation of him anyway

Don't forget that if you traded Cam Smith (84) out at any point and Maloney in at any point, you pretty much just traded Cam (84) for Maloney (-?)

Hehe

They'll be some fist pumping if Maloney matches that!
