Graham looks to have 1 week. Jeremy Marshall-King (shoulder, Round 21)

Wilson had the spot on merit, before JAC injured his hamstring.

IMO Graham, Wilson isn’t going to score 3 tries every week (scored 11 with no tries other week)

Also had a 43 with no tries.

Guarantee JMK won’t be back R21

Dolphins assistant coach said otherwise. Can see in my post from yesterday morning

Agree, Dolphins made it sound like it wasn't the season but would be a while

But who knows

That’s a big play, and my avocados have already been smashed once this week, so don’t think I’m going to be doing anything that bold.

Not I, but locked him in as my VC should Hynes sprain his ankle on the dance floor tonight.

Just on this,

I normally do Hynes C, SJ VC

Instead I've shifted the VC to Bateman - SJ might not play, and on the 0.00000001% chance something happens to Hynes before kick off

Fuck Ivan for even naming Nathan in a meaningless game. Won't play origin, but let's pad the stats vs Dolphins. Fucking clowns.

Selling Haas allows for all 4 desired targets - Cleary, DCE, Fifita and Yeo.. but then I'm stuck with budget Haas Carrigan and no Haas.

Looking at cheaper options besides Yeo, and no one really appealing. Thinking about Nutcher or Josh King AFB and Matto with byes still to come, but if SJ's out, then trading him makes AFB slightly more appealing. Might punt Harris before the bye anyway.

Wahs assistant coach in the pub. Said SJ missus had the baby and they're hoping he's good to go

Someone was talking about Averillo earlier, I might jump on with you

Wish we'd gotten that news about 3 weeks ago so I could have gotten him instead of Simpkin.

Captain Ponga anyone?

The dialogue around JMK is that they are going to have to manage his injury until the end of the season with cartilage damage suspected.

Whether he plays or not is a week to week decision. Bennett sounded pretty pessimistic...although that is par for the course.

I'm happy enough to take a chance on him.

EDIT : JMK return listed on Dolphins website as TBC

If I'm looking at Talau or Averillo, as someone I will need to play in my 17 next week (WFB this week, CTR next week), it's probably "better" to go with Averillo over Talua, surely?

That said, does the fact that Averillo plays Broncos and then Panthers mean he's actually unlikely to score better than Talau, who has Knights and Saints? In fact, would Talau, with the 100K less price tag actually be the far better option?

I think so, me, I say, answering my own question with an air of hesitant confidence.

Probably for me

Bula to Harry Grant
VTW to cashout (graham/piakura?)
Tapine to Fifita???

Will leave 9 trades and just need to get Cleary somehow

Holding haas teddy carrigan and hors

That would be good.

Nah mate, just Hopgood and Harris as MIDs this week. Wishing I grabbed King back for the Rd 16 bye instead of grabbing Haas the week after Not keen on NAS at all.

Doggies against BRoncos at Belmore, they wanna send Reynolds (Josh) out a winner they said

Broncos no Carrigan/Walsh/Haas

I vote Averillo
