Dirty Tapine got 2 weeks.

I admit the guy does have history, but, that was a soft tackle to miss two games from. Same as Burgess with the forearm, he is the only player to get pulled up on it, but every forward does it.

Agree. There was nothing in what Tapine did.

Really struggling with what to do as I have a strong 18 and I can’t work out who to leave out hence the option of trading DCE to Niukore. Have also toyed with the idea of bringing in Farah but that would mean Martin is 18th man again. Obviously the end goal is to bring back Ponga. If I bring in Niukore for DCE I might be able to scrape together enough funds to swap Hetherington for Ponga as Isaako will be handy as a backup. I guess I’m just overthinking it right? Here’s my team again

Cook
Fifita James
Taumalolo Jurbo Brown
SJ ARey
Aitken Mitchell
Tedesco Mbye Isaako

Smith
McInnes
Arrow
DCE

Martin
Hetherington
Lewis
Fainu

Sorry fat fingers. Meant the thumbs up!

Anyone else go to update the NRL.com app recently and have it ask for access to your camera?

Has there been some news that Niukore will be playing 80 on that edge for the rest of the season, or is it a hope?

I'd do the option that let's you play Walker over Holland

Yeah as I was typing up the Graham option I assumed I wouldn't have the cash. But seems I do.

I'm just not sure if either option is better than a single trade of Brimson > Farah.
If Niukore will be playing 80 on the edge then it helps with the decision.

I think BA said something along those lines. Who knows with Moeroa back though.

Haha I saw it and was like WTF? All good. Yeah didn't agree with Surgess' one and I can't really understand the Tapine one. NRL say it's all graded etc. But it's pretty obvious they target repeat offenders more. I don't think it's fair and is pretty shallow on the NRL's part. Their use of pre judgement is blatant.

Been looking at Niukore.

Compared to Round 16, Moeroa has come into the squad and into the back row with Will Smith dropping out. That could be great for Cameron King but I doubt people want more Hookers. While Moeroa could take some of Niukores minutes.

I am going to grab Farah and Lewis this week, I doubt I have the money for Niukore next week, but at least I get a week to see how he goes potentially.

Getting Farah seems to be the smart play as its a straight trade.

Can possibly look at Niukore next week, but will I pay the price for not owning a Tapau/JTurbo type

Holy Crap! Can't loophole this week as I have 21 GREEN DOTS, this hasn't happened since round 3. I have so many decisions to make this week, shite, where do I start? I'm not used to this, anxiety might get the best of me this week

Tapine is a grub who likes putting in the low down cheap shots. I actually have more of an issue with Tapine being a dirty player every week than I do with Leilua giving Morris a spray after Morris had been giving it to Leilua all game.

Round 5 was the last time I didn't have a red dot in my team, and I still have one this week.

One day....

Trade one out?

Cant say ive ever noticed it. Happy to be proved wrong though. This particular tackle was hardly dirty.

Ponga is the first red dot I've had in a while. Perfect opportunity to loop JFH and Lewis.

Captain options this week?

I have Smith currently locked in but I'm 99% sure Zora will run with this. I fancy a left field option this week.

Cotric at FB vs Cowboys hmmmmmm
McInnes vs Tigers
Wobbie?

Edit, if only I still had Isaako!

@Verbal Kint, see how Arrow pulls up. Tits got flogged and he will be buzzing.

anyone else notice S.Wright is just a cool 2.29mil to buy right now. Biggest price rice in fantasy history
