    Did anyone hear Ennis on tv last night when he said "Cartwright is taking the piss & is not up to nrl standard" I cracked up with the "taking the piss" bit.
    He basically called him a pussy & he was spot on.

    Think I'm selling myself into Capewell. He should get MINIMUM 3 games starting 80 min stints from this week (not including last week). Lewis out for another 3 or so, Graham who knows and will want to get into origin. I think they will pick him regardless if he's played a game beforehand. Now Soro out for 4 weeks, it's obviously a stopgap option but worth the punt. If he gets around 40 for the next 3 games, he'd make it to 500K wouldn't he?

    I can do Sorenson and Thompson for the Trbo borthers. Or could instead bring in Taumalolo and RTS

    Other option is to try and ditch Hiku for a centre

    $5k off bringing in Latrell and Taumalolo.

    Quoite a few options this week. Some of my trade-in targets have high BEs and might drop cash, but so do my trade out targets/ So thinking of making the switch for points  (and also insurance about them busting out a 90 like Fifita did)

    Not looking to ditch Rein or Maloney like some, but Thompson, Hiku and RFM all might have peaked in cash.
    If Arrow doesn't get good news can trade him out, but will keep if I can.
    I've had the Turbo brothers since round one. Jake Turbo has been strong, but is all but guarenteed for Origin so be ready for that. Tommy Turbo is in a slump after his injury (and that 70+ score). He has a huge ceiling but his price has been dropping for a few weeks, could be a risk.

    Lewis is listed as being back round 12*, I can't remember when he was initially ruled out and what was said at the time. Graham 1 to 2 weeks. IF Lewis and Graham both back in round 12 then Capewell gets 2 weeks, and ~probably~ round 13.

    Its a hard call to make.

    *Fully aware these lists are somewhat meaningless, I mean the same list has Nathan Brown back in round 9 (foxsports)

    Running this ATM lads (Including this weeks trades);

    Cook
    Fifita Surgess
    JTurb Harris RFM
    Cogger Maloney
    Hiku Capewell
    Mitchell Ponga Holmes

    Murray Kikau JFH Rein

    TPJ Lane Nicholls SJ(+), $295k ITB.

    I have second rowers falling over each other. Will be upgrading Nicholl's to a keeper in the backs next week (RTS/Rapana), benching Holmes.

    Planning to Upgrade/cashout Maloney and Rein in a week or 2. TPJ, Lane and Capewell after the first bye likely.

    Next couple weeks will be interesting for me, think I have a good base just need to make some good trade in's and hope SJ isn't out for too long. Backs and halves will be rubbish for the next week or 2, but can't see it hurting too much in the long run.

    I know mate, it's definitely borderline, but definitely could be worth the risk. I guess if Graham isn't fit and they don't pick him for Origin, every chance Lewis and Graham both play 13. Unlikely, but you never know.

    I don't think he's released anything new this year. What he has been doing though has been boring covers and shitty love songs. Needs to find his 80's groove again.

    He went back to Townsville while the team stayed in Sydney as they play on Thursday. Cowboys apparently bemused by the charge as his good character is well known, etc. Probably amount to nothing.

    As a Townsvillian I heard on the radio this morning that Cowboys will be calling up Francis Molo for this weekends game against the Tigers.

    Good for Tolo you'd think with Bolton out.
