Brodie Croft at Kogarah and not up in Brisbane for Easts.

I have Arrow, SJ, Gosiewski, Sorenson.     It would be nice to get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride
Edit : And just bought in Marsters for one of his lowest of the season

As I didn’t watch the game wtf happened with LAWTON? 62 in 25 minutes? Did he just go HAM??

Extra motivation for Jacks to say, don’t get settled you got someone right behind ya

Even now that it has been diagnosed as less serious long term wise, I think I still go straight to Lolo as well. Those back spasms sounding more and more like something inherent that will come and go at the drop of a hat. Maybe if he gets a few weeks off they go away completely, but not taking the chance.

2 tries.

He scored 2 tries. The 2nd try he would of got major points as he scored from dummy half with 3 players hanging on to him.

2 tries mate. Could score 35 in 80 next week.

What's HAM?

Hard as a motherfucker. Gaming term

Lolohea needs to slot back into that backline (rumoured to be back next week). Hard to see Founa staying in the squad over Thompson or MWZ or Nofoaluma.

Hopefully TLT helps us figure that out

Yeah, hence why I brought in Cogger this week

If it looks that way I might as well hold Thompson for Rd 13 and do JMK>Martin, Maloney>almost anyone.

Current Rd 13 lineup:

Cook*
Fifita,
Lolo, Murray, Gosie*
Matterson, Townsend
Latrell*, Aubs
Teddy*, Ponga*, Calker

Thompson, Cogger*

That's 14 who's team are playing that week, but likely to lose at least 3-4 to origin/injury/dropped. Definitely keen to field a minimum of 13.

*Jogger

The Arrow injury is a worry. In fact it's the worst kind of injury because you never know when it will flare up during the game. Because he's so tough & fit he can prove his fitness during the week but come game day he could suffer the injury. There must be a spot on his side or back that if it gets hit he's in all sorts of trouble.

If Capewell can grab even three games starting he will make 150k in the centres and be a straight swap for an elite centre by the end of it. Might even have to forgo my juicy Areyn trade for that. Lawton probably even better but Kearny says Luke might be okay and a notoriously fast healer anyway

Same, Arrow to Lolo, Maloney to AReyn, Isaako to Capewell my decisions this week. Rhyse Martin will get a look in once I've done the sums, but early doors I'll pass on him.

Yep, shots of him in the dressing room straight after what could have been a serious internal injury suggested he didn't give a fuck about the pain and just wanted to get back out there.

He is HAM ( ) and even Josh Reynoldised a couple of chairs.

Hard to trade someone like that out, but if Lolo is back then don't lose anything points wise.

Public holiday tomorrow in QLD so I guess its Super Saturday all over again round these parts

Hiku, Thompson, rein, maloney and possibly arrow to deal with. Non fifita owner so thinking arrow straight to fifita as an early thought. Those rib injuries can linger and are bloody painful too.

Hard as Moose.

Thanks Chewie! No idea how I'm still holding on after a terrible week. Turns out Fifita is almost a POD at the top, which is both surprising and fortunate!
Looks like Verbal will take out the top spot this week, unless someone comes out of nowhere, much like Verbal himself has already done this week.

I have been death riding Cmith for weeks now with no luck, so this week I wish him well. Here is hoping for a (C)am150. punctuated by several tries, 3 drop goals, and an air of invincibility which means it would be nigh on impossible for him to ever be injured inside the first 15 minutes. Hopefully that sorts things out

PS

In one of my head-to-heads, it all comes down the Lafai + 13 vs Cmith, so I forgot to mention 163 for Lafai as well

Pffft, no pressure
