Slow news week:

Manly are interested in Nofoaluma before June 30.. preliminary talks only at this stage.

Tom Sangster tweeted that FAC is due to return 8 weeks ahead of schedule? Wtf? I can't read the article itself so no further info than that

Would like Big Munster to get rested for Mini Munster this round so I can make sure he doesn't start losing his cash before his 60+ in R16

Broncos ironman Andrew McCullough is set for a shock return this weekend eight weeks ahead of schedule.

McCullough completed a skills session on Monday as he attempts to come back early from an MCL injury.

It was feared McCullough could miss as many as 12 weeks when he suffered the injury at training under a month ago.

“He is a very dedicated professional in his rehab,” said Broncos Head of Performance Paul Devlin after training this morning.

“Andrew spent three days with (rehab coach) Blake Duncan and the club physios in his time off last week.

“He trained really well and made some good progress.

“He returned to skills today and got through unscathed.

“He is progressing really well and should be available for selection this week.”

Wow, I think he has always been a fast healer?

Yeah you're right but even so that's crazy fast. Had a holiday in Canberra perhaps?

Thanks for posting it! He sounds like a machine

It's been reported by Fox Sports that Surgess will play this week then have surgery on his shoulder & out for 5 weeks. Their were rumours going around that he was struggling recently with his shoulder & that he was going to get surgery.

At least this one's more accurate than fox sports predicted teams

They somehow believe that Graham is going to play 1 week after a fracture in his leg amongst other errors

Yeah I refuse to read that dross mate.

Stating obvious but Teams won’t be semi-accurate until Thursday this week.

I’ve somehow got 8 players Friday night so will know my fate early this week!

South Sydney captain Sam Burgess has revealed that he will undergo surgery after Friday night's game against Newcastle for a painful shoulder injury that he has been carrying since earlier in the season.

Man. Looks like bye planning could make or break a season. I'll definitely look at that for next year. Save some trades to go heavy during this period. Congratulations to all here who got "normal" week scores.

Scored 634 off 10 players... What could have been with another 7 lol

Assuming Ponga doesn't back up, any good cash out options available? Watson worth a shout?

Seem like a good 13, pretty stock standard. If Ponga is out this week as expected, looks like you will be playing Dearden this week. Looks like you missed the Rein train which is a bugger I say keep your eyes peeled for TLT tomorrow and see what it brings, you might have to trade someone out for a NPR (Someone that plays R16 I suppose) to generate some cash.
