Surely he's having a laugh.

Tigers coming last. Maybe they should drop Tedesco to fire him up.

It's Laurie Daley. He has been dropping NSW's best players for years in attempts to fire them up.
The strategy is going to pay off big time any day now

team im running with this round Depending on team lists with 138k in the bank

mccines macca
JWH wallace f kaufusi
JDB buhrer mannering hess sione
jacks lamb
turbo cotric
rts slater ponga

npr easyE chn elgey rankins scott idris hayne phythian

next week will probably go
buhrer - j bromwich/bodene/whitehead
a half - norman/SJ/hunt

PODene is really tempting because he won't get any cheaper. If I get him in though then I'm letting the problems in the CTR/WFB go unchecked and the Brailey situation doesn't help.

On the other hand it'll mean by Round 6 I'll have a 2RF of Gallen, Mannering, ET, Whitehead and Bodene. I mean that is pretty much 4 keepers (Assuming Whitehead gets back to his best) and a really good reserve option who'll get me minimum 40 a week. Decisions, decisions.

any word on peats coming back? he was scheduled for a week 5 return.

he might be the only option for some of us with brailey who can't quite afford the jump to the big boys.

Trade SMat or Lamb for Surgess?

@Chewie jbrom only misses 2! hes not an origin player, so he might find a way into some teams

Daley is an idiot. Johnson is playing great and not just fantasy-wise.

So Brown hooks Yates for a huge chunk of the game, then criticizes their ruck middle defence after the game? Makes me nervous about having to play him this week now Whitehead is gone.

Does Arsendragon still come around? My vote would be for you, Tombs, DK, Arsen or KFP. Probably the oldest players I personally remember from sportal, Ive only been around since 2012 though.

You and KFP should sit it together for old time sake, would be a hell of an interview.

Anyone tempted by Frawley?

Need $90k if I want to turn SiMat into Bodene this round.

Smith, McInnes
Fifita, Faufusi, Ese'ese, I-paps
Surgess, Whitehead, Hess, MCK, SiMat, Yates
Johnson, Lamb, Elgey, Field
Talakai, Moga, Suli, Kelly
Tedesco, RTS, Cotric, RJennings, Hayne

Will be quite funny round here when Siro scores a 26 this week.

Hope he scores even less.

I dropped Hayne, I think he'll decrease in value when he returns and pick up his game mid bye rounds. Could trade him out for an NPR then when Cotric peaks and he drops bring him back if you want him, would give you that 90k and let you see if he's worth the extra trade.

Haven't actually seen his name mentioned, but before anyone gets excited about Jack Littlejohn - he filled in for Brooks 3 times last year, for scores of 28, 11 and 33.

His scoring is better as bench hooker (where he appears to have lost his spot with Liddle back from injury)

Assuming he returns in the next couple of weeks he won't have long to impress the NSW selectors. Watch his game step up when he wants to get that NSW jersey back.

For 1 week?

That panthers guy has more job security, and he could well be back on the bench today

Not quite 90k, I think. Hayne priced at just over $200k so probably get around $70k out of him.
Still not convinced it's worth trading him out and then back in again, either.
