    Jeeze killer team mate if you get to leave two of those out!!

    I think at this stage of the season it depends on what you are trying to achieve? I'd personally go with Arrow and Martin but that would be the conservative option and would give you two players that most other teams also have. If you are aiming to climb the rankings then I'd go with the other two. Both have the potential to go bigger than Arrow and Martin but will be bigger PODs particularly if it means not playing the other two. The downside is that the chances of them going bigger are small I think.

    Same old story, risk reward!!

    Yeah mate FRF and 2RF are pretty solid.

    Cook
    Fifita Taupau
    Jurbo Tolo Chricton
    SJ DCE
    Ramien Mitchell
    Ponga Turbo Cotric

    CS9 McInnis Arrow Fainu
    Martin Kikau Clifford RedDot

    Only one really stinking it up is Cotric but I mean, he scored a 40 on the weekends which I'm quite happy with.

    3 trades left.

    This is the week. Sea Eagles still buzzing around in the media and coming off a shock upset over sharks (proud Manly tipper here). I expect Sea Eagles to put on big attacking show this saturday at home.

    It probably is. Dogs are probably due a bit of a lazy effort game too.

    Brookvale is no fortress any more.
    Only 2 wins at home this year, round 2 v eels and round 4 v Raiders.

    I've got three trades, but I also find it hard to justify dumping anyone that I do have.

    Maybe Farah has run his course, but he will just sit at 18th man anyway.

    With 3 trades mate, Id dump Farah for one of those.

Although I have Rhyse Martin staring at me on top of the page and in my dp ????
    Sounds like you want to keep that avatar another week, I'll back Martin to beat Fainu?

    Great stuff... and yeah I'm sure Casey can handle a bit of abuse and all the shit that will come her way when she finally refs a first grade game.

    IN defence of Rabs (words not often uttered around here) are there any female coaches banging on the door to be an NRL coach? As long as there equal opportunity, then im happy. No benefit in forcing equal outcomes.

    Thinking of playing Rapana over Farah. Raiders have absolutely pants the Tigers in the last 3 or 4 games the accumulative score is absurd.

    I would love to trade R. James to Fainu but I already have Taupau, J-Trbo, DCE & T-Trbo. Four Manly players is extreme but five may be out of order. I have to say though even though in real life Manly are travelling poorly in fantasy all 4 of my Manly players get decent points hauls every week.

    Agreed. If and when there is a female who's the most qualified for a head coach gig and misses out it'll be an issue, until then may merit continue to decide.

    That wasn't the primary argument put forward though was it. 100% agree though, the key points are equal opportunity and who is best for the job.

    I just think its funny that people get so defensive just because the idea is put forward that we may see a female coach in the NRL, at some point in the future.

    Not as outrageous as it sounds. I'm thinking Farah to Hess now that we know Fainu is safe.

    lol!

    I’m talking about the dressing sheds. It isn’t practical while blokes are walking around naked. Simple. Nothing to do with ability. Won’t happen.

    My opinion. Ageist comments don’t concern me in the slightest.

    Here come the leftard hyenas though. Line up....line up. Someone has a different opinion......time to shut him down. What’s next? Another ban? Laugh 3

    On that note, it was pretty shit to see what that ref (can recall his name) had to go through post the Tonga England match a while back.

    Yup, seems like a mentally tough lady! Sounds like she will get her shot soon enough. I wonder how many people thought a woman might ref a top level rugby league match 20 years ago. Perhaps this is a good indication of how things can change, even in rugby league Wink

    Funny that in the first year of the AFLW there were female coaches. Now there are none.
