What I'm not happy about is that as a JFH & A. Reynolds owner I feel I've been short changed about 50 points. I don't usually get that crazy these days playing fantasy but for some reason both injuries have annoyed me.

I am playing you in a league and you will beat me comfortably.

It was me. I broke Robbie.

Robbie broke himself. Still want to know if he was injured/sick because he didn't look himself.

Kearney should banish Ligi Sao to reserve grade for the rest of the year. Those 2 penalties he gave away for holding the opposition players leg up were not only stupid but were late in the tackle count & from my vague memory of the game I think 1 of the penalties lead to the Milford try. I could give him the benefit of doubt doing it once but twice is unacceptable.

Don't worry bro I've given plenty of players the KOD (kiss of death) over the years. My most recent one was this round in sc buying JFH.

Brought in RTS for the bye round , Reyno was in for a big score as well - depending on SOO squads the Bunnies side will be interesting next week.

I was reading one of their forums this morning & apparently the squad is littered with injuries even the backups. e.g. C. Tracey who is a half.

Traded Burns and knowing my luck he will be rushed back.

Yes I believe so , if Cody Walker gets a gig and maybe Lowe not sure who would be goal kicker either

Can still get the eels as non favourites next week. As I can think the eels will be full strength and Wabbits will be without Gagai, Walker, A-Rey, Cook and Murray I’m amazed they’re favourites

I had a sleepless night. Lomax or Xerri... Xerri or Lomax. Genuinely dreamed about fantasy last night. I usually dream about my wife's sisters - no, I'm not posting images! Not that I have any pics

Assuming you have Nikora, might as well hedge and play Nikora/Lomax and hope the latter steps up at home and makes fullback his own!

I have no halves for next week assuming Morgan is selected for Origin and am now fearing what Moses will get against a heavily depleted Bunnies team... I really don't want to trade him in :/

The RTS score makes me feel better about playing papy.

Fwiw i think Xerri is the way to go

The NSW Blues have been thrown into a playmaking scramble after South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds became the third star playmaker in 24 hours to sustain an injury.

The Blues were poised to go with the all-South Sydney playmaking combination of Adam Reynolds, Cody Walker and Damien Cook after Luke Keary was ruled out due to concussion.

Despite a strong desire to remain loyal to rookie playmaker Nathan Cleary, the omission of Keary had forced the Blues brains trust into a positional re-think.

With Keary ruled out and in-form Knights playmaker Mitchell Pearce also carrying a groin injury, South Sydney five-eighth Cody Walker is clearly the stand out option in the NSW no.6 jumper.

And with Walker at five-eighth, who better to select as the Blues halfback than Adam Reynolds.

Instead, Reynolds will go for scans on Sunday on a possible fractured fibula.

Reynolds started in superb touch against the Wests Tigers before reeling out of a tackle towards the end of the opening half.

The Bunnies halfback was forced off with a possible fractured fibula, sending the Blues brains trust back to the selection table.

Mitchell Pearce was being considered on the back of five man-of-the-match performances for the Knights.

But Pearce told Blues coach Brad Fittler he was carrying a groin injury when the Blues coach approached him inside the Knights dressing rooms on Friday night.

NSW coach Brad Fittler is expected to remain loyal to eight incumbent players from last year’s series victory.

Josh Morris and Daniel Tupou are also expected to force their way back into the NSW squad despite missing out in 2018.

One possible Blues bolter is Wests Tigers backrower Ryan Matterson, who is competing against Angus Crichton, Tariq Sims and Josh Jackson for a bench spot.

If the Blues brains trust go with Matterson, it will mean NSW select an all-rookie bench which will include Jack Wighton, Payne Haas, Cameron Murray and Matterson.

NSW LIKELY LINE-UP

James Tedesco

Josh Addo-Carr

Interchange:

Jack Wighton

Cameron Murray

Ryan Matterson

Payne Haas

Looks like I almost managed to get lucky with having Cleary for next round, until Reynolds got injured that is.

Interesting bench.

Don't see how Chrichton misses out.  He was great last year and solid enough this year.

Ive gone from having 2 quality halves for r12 to having zero. Bah
