That is true mate & it sounds there's going to be a lot more games not finishing or even starting with the weather that's forecasted over there  so most teams will have at least 1 game rained off.

Because in almost every situation, the 'extra' game is round 16, where we'll all have less than 17 players and the replacement will be 0.

Even in round 17, if enough origin players don't back up, some people may struggle to get 17 on the park.

I wonder if it means Storm might let go of Drinkwater before June 30 now, because basically they wanted a forward in return from Cowboys to fast-track the deal but getting a forward from Titans might be enough

Will be interesting to see how many of you top guys actually plan for that scenario, i.e. have a couple WFB reserves you can put in, or whether you just accept a zero. Obviously everyone has the choice, but more interesting to see what you fullahs do

My WFBs are Ponga, Teddy, CNK, Sivo and I suspect that is somewhat common

CNK to RTS will be very popular next week, but doesn't help WFB availability if Teddy and Ponga both miss 17.

So my options will basically be hope there is a R16 cheap WFB that also plays R17 that I can use as a cashout.

Can't see myself spending a trade on a WFB otherwise (If I bring in someone like TTrbo or Drinkwater, it will probably be for Sivo, which again won't help total WFB numbers)

Wondering whether Panthers 1-12 vs Rabbitohs @ $3.75 is a good bet. Rabbits without Sam and Tom and Reynolds look considerably weaker.

Cheers bro yep still caring for the old fella. You certainly learn patience dealing with someone with dementia. Sometimes it gets a bit crazy & stressful but on the whole it's not too bad. Took him out for a hair cut earlier & I had one too & then we went food shopping. It's true what they say about dementia patients that they revert to being like a child. No shite if he doesn't get his own way sometimes he has a full out tantrum just like a 2 year old child. You have to see the funny side of it or else you go insane even though it's quite sad seeing your old man like that.

Also just watching the Bellamy interview from today. Doesn't seem like King is enough to move on Drinky. He wants someone else. Also dont expect any late changes to the spine.
