Yeah Edwards is the pick of that bunch. Breaks tackles in his sleep.

Yeah I love watching him play, I'll have an eye on him today.

TPJ has been my only real disappointment this round.. Griffen too I guess. I didn't even notice TPJ on the field, and the Broncos won the match in the forwards!!

550, 10 played (inc captain SJ). Still looking like a decent round, working on averages 800 should be about par.

I'm worried about my bench props TPJ and AFB moving forward, as well as Griffen. Griffen to go this week. Just need a couple mid range cows to pop up over the next few weeks.

Griffin for me is gone regardless. Then I have to choose between trading Fifita or NAS. NAS has been really underwhelming but I’m worried he’ll just put on a big score next week and he’ll be good to keep for a week or two. Fifita however I am interested in keeping but that’s a lot of money on the pine especially if Murray doesn’t play next week

Really looking forward to Sea Eagles vs Tigers this arvo. On the bus with the mighty Tigers





It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eyeeeeee of the tigerrrrrrr


DUN DUN DUN
DUN DUN DUN
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

This week I am looking at the following.

Lodge -> Sau
Griffin -> Smith, Johnson, Taumalolo.

I wouldn't trade either guys out, but minutes. Griffin especially I want to keep, and I see it becoming a Havili'i situation. Meanwhile the rest of my squad is beginning to take shape. I am looking at keeping Murray and Brown. Just means taking a hit for the next couple weeks. I can turn Griffin to anyone essentially, thinking it should be for an out and out gun. I could also grab someone like Latrell, but with Isaako going big he will make more cash.

Then just waiting on guys like Mannering, Gallen, Fifita to drop in price.

I don't want to trade Smith back in because I am an idiot who traded him out.

Fiona will be in heaven today with the Panthers and Tigers playing back-to-back.

Don't expect updates until late.. or at all.

dont worry about being an idiot trading him back in. if you think hes the best player that presents the most value then go for it. i would take him ahead of taumo. SJ is a little harder because halves are tough this year

Mannering looked very good yesterday. Once he grabs the start spot back he should go back to keeper level scores in the middle

Yeah I should just bite the bullet with him. He does have Origin though, while Taumalolo doesn't. My halves are okay with Mbye and Cherry-Evans, and while Lolohea is out there isn't urgency to shift Mbye to FB.

Which is another guy you blokes didn't mention in the WFB discussion.

Random piece from SMH article...


Manly officials say Jackson Hastings is not playing today due to an Achilles injury – and his absence has nothing to do with a scuffle at training with skipper Daly Cherry-Evans. The Sea Eagles told this column things got heated between the pair. They ended up locked together on the turf at training last week. I was told initially that Hastings belted DCE. The club says that wasn’t the case. Clearly something happened between the pair. Those who claim they saw it say it was worse than a scuffle. I’ll believe what a senior official told me as he has never lied to me in the past.

Wasn’t Hastings booted from the Roosters for a shit additude at training?

Egan playing ISP so Leota will more than likely be in

He wasn't well-liked apparently and went to his head replacing Maloney full-time and being the dominant half with Pearce out til mid-season.

He must have Croker in his fantasy team this year or something, attempting to sabotage DCE and his own prospects.

501/9 
Players left - Arrow, Kikau, Jurbo, Rochow, DCE, Turbo, Thompson, JFH

900+ will be great ????????

Kennar and TPJ hurting

I agree - do you think he’ll start now theyve had a loss?

I think he will start due to injuries at prop. Blair will move back to the prop rotation and Mannering will get the lock spot

In a weird kind of way, I think Blair has been ok at lock. Still prefer Mannering though. Warriors bench will be interesting next week if Kata is out, Gelling will probably replace him, so opens up a spot on the bench, maybe Gavet will be back, not that it will effect Mannering one would assume.

Gelling was awful when he came on. Two terrible passes then dropped the ball when we were pushing for a try. I thought Beale was supposed to be back this week so wouldn't be surprised if comes straight in for Kata

Is Beale close to ready for this week?

It might be chance to slot in..
