Taumololo has pleaded not guilty to shoulder charge and will go to judiciary.

Find it hard to see him getting off, though I haven't studied the tackle. I'm surprised they didn't just cop the week on the chin.

They will also be without Matt Scott after it was confirmed he suffered a season-ending ACL rupture, while Lachlan Coote is also in doubt for Saturday’s clash with Manly after injuring his calf.

Severe, utterly devastating, season-ending, children eating, doubt

That could be the deciding factor that tips me to bringing in Hess. If he is named to start for two weeks, getting 50+ with a be of -3...
By my calculations.. BOOM!

Jayne:

Do you need to watch the "throw like a girl" campaign again?
and surely we can do better than period jokes...

exactly what i was thinking mcfly

Now we have to wait to see what happens there with Lolo first. Trading in players in this game is never bloody easy is it?

Why would he claim not guilty wtf.

Assuming the panel has an IQ above 60 and two functioning eyes, no way he gets off.

If for some miracle he gets off, I actually might spend the cash and bring him in for Cartwright.

Titans are depleted all over the park

More holes in the Titans squad than a jail cell mattress.

Who was it that was adamant Copley would play for Qld, a couple years ago. Cracks me up every time i get reminded and see copleys name.

probably to do with how many carry over points he gets. i'm guessing he'll have less if he pleads not guilty yet is found guilty compared to straight up pleading guilty.

cowboys won't mind him missing games at the start of the season compared to towards the end

@Random - Just going to leave this here.

Has every team had a win & a loss & you have the best points differential.

Just poking about with the "Teams Breakdown" feature for L2.

Only 2 of us haven't got Cameron Smith - we occupy positions 15 and 16 after 2 rounds. This is my first year without him.

There are also only 2 teams without Jamal Idris.

All 16 have Hayne and RTS.

Few teams have had two wins while several have had none at all.

I believe whoever finishes last come seasons end will be be demoted.. (so basically that means I won't be a mod come seasons end)

I'm just waiting on TLT before rushing into any trade decisons, but the Cowboys and Bulldogs fullback positions is where the interest will lie.

Whats the prognosis on RTS, how many weeks out ?

Someone on sc addicts posted a picture of him happy & smiling & thumbs up. I think he was laying down in bed.

RTS? Will have to pass concussion protocols to play this week but at worst will miss a week.

Shhhh. And good byes

If Hoare gets a shot, i could get him for Moeroa, and upgrade Elgey to Norman (or any half really).

Norman vs ARey vs SJ?

had to prioritise getting lamb in. it looks like he will keep accumulating points for another 100k or close to it.
he had a good game last week, 45 points scored with 15 mins off for a head assessment.
comes back on in the final minutes for a sneaky ta. lucky he had the concussion so his price remains in reach for me.

second priority is getting rid of mitchell. he just looked so unfit - gassed from doing nothing.
i might come to regret it because he has the panthers followed by the rabbits, and he might score well.
but he's a ball watcher and relies on tupou going good. undecided on who just yet
