Soon after he came on for his 2nd stint he did a hit up went off for an hia, failed & didn't return.

Cheers WL

So is it true that Seumanufagai hasn't played a game since running out to the wrong side at half time?

If winning you work comp is the priority I'd be saving both trades for another week.
Farah isn't playing for you so if you got McIness in you have the new problem of who not to play for him.
You got that far in front for a reason. I'd think be conservative this week and wait. Go far trades after this week. You have good cover but 4 injuries in the next two weeks could wipe your team.

Thanks mate. This is sensible advice and much appreciated. I did think though getting McInnes would create a new problem, so I should still have enough next week for Farah to McInnes if Farah is subpar. The thing is, I put 100 points on the team in second the week before but once they put 100 back on you, you start to freak out. I think I will hold unless something happens between now and the weekend.

Nice mate. I like calling him Loch Hess too!

So, I hold off on Fainu due to Api but moreso the court date and his potential sacking and the day comes around and there is not one fucking word and he's named like normal. Gotta say I'm fucking annoyed and another one of those instances where you just gotta go for it and not worry about weeks ahead.

Bounty Afoa clear to play the knights are fighting the judiciary and being found not guilty.

Would you use your last trade to bring cook in?

Who would you be trading out for him?

Either james or farah

Very surprising that there’s been no word on what happened at court. Surely there is news tomorrow.
My guess is that it will be adjourned, conveniently, until after round 25.
It’s also interesting that there’s been no update on Koroisau’s progress.
NRL injury news now says he’s due back in rd 23-24, where it was previously listed as 22-24. Zero tackle says next season.

Do you have some solid backups? If so, that's almost worth it, especially if you have the much money to upgrade in a single trade.

Fox Sports still says round 22. I don't think he'll be back this season.

I should have known better in regards to not trading him in as to what might happen weeks down the track.

Not really. Will be hanging on tight.

How ironic it's the "women in league round" & Fainu is charged with exploiting a woman. All the feminists should protest all week outside Lotto Land so Manly don't play him. Fainu is a classic example of an immature young man where fame has gone to his head & he thinks he's untouchable.

This is actually a really good point. He will think he's even more untouchable if he still is allowed to play on.

Anyone jumping off Smith? Haven't kept up to date with this forum. I want Taupau, I have 3 trades remaining, would give me about $80k if I need it for later.. Tempted! Especially considering he screwed me as captain last week..

Is TPJ just dropped? Or niggles still.

Nah mate. There is no talk of anyone trading Smith.  He was killing it last week until Bunnies started really dominating, then Smith bailed anyway.

TPJ not playing due to his niggling injuries as far as we know.

Fainu's news is being overshadowed by Griffin being sacked and Gaff's tribunal.
We might hear something today, fantasy wise it would be good for my team if he continues to play, but fantasy aside he'll need to face consequences for his actions

I think the first women of league round had titans vs cowboys Robert Lui vs Greg Bird.
