Yeah he still has till Sunday afternoon, probably a blessing in disguise. More time to rest his knee also. If he is out Arrow will just come into starting back and Martin will go onto the bench.

I guess I'll either get Farah of SJ so no big loss, unless SJ shits himself this arvo.

Hey Mr Green

How are you going? Your wife told me that you play fantasy NRL? Awesome! I'm in 2nd - whats your rank?

Just a quick email to ask if you have any trades left considering the Taumalolo situation. If he contests it and loses then we have a tough trade decision to make.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Verbal

Thank you for your email.

Good job on your fantasy ranking. My rank is 3,757. Although, I did win the Rothmans Medal in 1995.

I've got one trade left and am saving it for a rainy day. That day could be soon as Jason is going to challenge the charge. If he cops two weeks then I'll be trading his ass to Jurbo. Dont tell anyone but I hear that Andrew Fifita is out this week. I hope you have cover.

I've enclosed a signed photo. I know you're a big fan.



Lastly, Amanda says hi and asked me to let you know that you left your batman thong here last week. It has been washed.

Best regards
Paul G Green

Well ive got Warriors winning this 13+ with a lot of points on the board. Knights concede something like 25 ppg and score something like 17-18ppg. The Warriors score 19 ppg and concede something like 18 ppg, so I am picking a lot of attack and not much defence in this game. Warriors at home and fighting for the finals i am picking a bit more heart in this one for them and big points! IMO

Yeah, I'm hoping for a high scoring game. A couple of tries for Fitzgibbon in there somewhere

Fucking glorious VK!!

POST OF THE YEAR!

There's a couple of little easter eggs in there

Surely Lolo doesn't fight it and risk 2 weeks.
That would mean he misses the Eels game in round 24.
That's the wooden spoon derby!

I think the Cows in contention for the spoon will see them play it safe and take the week. Depends how confident they are in fighting it I guess.

wolfking wrote:Wacko reckons Marshall will not play with Fonua playing and Naiqama to FB and MBye to halves.

He also reckon Fifita still has to pass concussion protocols and hasn't trained.

That would put him at stage 3 and not enough days left to tke the field (24hrs minimum each stage). If he is at 4 then he may scrape in.

1. Symptom-limited activity – Daily activities that do not provoke or worsen symptoms:
2. Light Aerobic Exercise – e.g., walk, exercise bike with Heart Rate less than ~70% max (no resistance/weight training);
3. Sport Specific Exercise – e.g. running drills without risk of head contact;
4. Non-contact training and start resistance (weight) training;
5. Full contact training – ONLY after medical clearance by a doctor – coaching staff should assess tackling technique and other skills;
6. Return to play/games.

I dont even remember the shoulder charge? I saw Offa got done for a shoulder charge which was just a light one so Tolo's mustve been pretty bad

Post of the year! Amend the voting!

Could be a concern. We probably won't know until an hour before kickoff also.

Owning Wade Graham will definitely come in handy

Anybody heard about Koroisau?
I am going to use my last trade to bring Fainu in this week in case Fifita is out. This will also double as my Lolo replacement for next week. But if Koro comes back suddenly I am so completely boned.

Like PG's ranking for one!

Mixed reports but it sounds like he might be done for the season.
