    I've currently pencilled in TPJ and Twal (1.2 million) with Haas as an EMG backup.

    TPJ will definitely be in the team, Twal's selection depends on the first TLT.

    Mate that’s a cop out, if he’s got razzed up and smacked his missis around there ain’t no fucking excuse! Everyone can feel sorry for themselves after fucking up! real men wouldn’t put themselves in a position where the potential for that scenario can happen! Why the fuck would you feel sorry for him! If the suggested has actually happened then fuck him! If she was acting like a cunt and we’ve all probably seen it with women he shouldn’t be with her if he has the capacity to want to slap her around! If proven to be guilty I hope he gets the full wrath of the consequences available

    Sadly 9 times out of 10 when women are abused they don't leave the guy.

    Also, I wonder, would you feel sorry for him if it was your mother/sister/daughter that he was abusing?

    I'm reading from your post that you have compassion mate, and I think in general that is an admirable thing mate, but the wording of feeling sorry for him I struggle with.

    I might feel sorry for him if it was his first offence. Maybe. We all make mistakes. But this guy's a serial dead shit. Throw the book at him.

    Is this where I let on that I'm house sitting in "brown"sville for the next month with my partner? She came to cairns with me and we had nothing but rain, left there and the day after I got here the rain started up... You can just call me global warming or the big wet, whatever tickles the pickle.

    Interesting. I like Twal but the Tigers pack in general is packed.

    Rather have you piss off and take the weather with you. But yeah hope you are safe wherever you are house sitting mate and not around the flood waters.

    Reckon Foran is actually fit and/or going to last more than 3 games?

    I reckon I'll get CHN if he starts right edge, which I think he will. He should run some great lines on the outside of Foran. Priced at 30 odd, not too dissimilar to Stimson except he's capable of those 20 point plays.

    Cheers mate you too. In Hyde Park, feels OK but getting texts about evacuation and imminent flooding and the creek nearby ooks pretty dicey so will have to play it by ear. Thinking the texts are just going out to just about everyone though. Seems to be draining quite well here whenever there is a small pause. Biggest issue for now is dealing with all the animals who use the house as a latrine because its too wet for them to go outside ....

    In fantasy, think ill be slotting Hampton into my side, hoping he gets the gig.

    Reckon he scores much more than mid 20's even if he is?

    Yeah we got a few of those texts as well last night. As you sai the breaks in the rain are doing us well. Missus is concerned about dam levels as it's at like 200% and holds upto 350% or so and rose like 10% just this morning. Our yards all good for now and stuff but our road gets a good amount of water almost an inch of water in the middle of it which is the highest point.

    Not stressed about Offa being the big point maker in the Broncos instead of TPJ. I see it as being a coin flip for them both.

    Will he get the gig? I figured the Bulldogs have..

    Jackson Elliott already locked in and guys like Martin, and RFM are fighting for the other edge spot with CHN.

    We really can't know what happened with Barba. Could've just been a heated argument. And for TMM and O'Neil, definitely could've been a case of not wanting to get involved in their argument. We don't really know.

    I feel for him because I know I'm not perfect and have done some dumb shit on the piss. But at the same time, this was his last shot. He could've tried harder to avoid that kind of situation

    I like him. Will finish top three halves with dce and cleary imo. Because of his bulk km's he has a high floor and therefore less likely to be cheaper through the year so starting with him could be good pick.

    I think it's just because people are looking for value and he might only have a small discount compared to other options, possibly.

    I reckon he'll be a keeper. He's got a big pack now, he'll keep his KM and by the sounds of it, he's pretty fit rn
