Apparently there was something on 2sm this arvo saying he was out, so take it with a grain of salt.

Taupau? Really? Wouldn't that be a good ol' fashioned ballslap?

On a related matter, how shit is Talkin' Sport? I listen to the start of it regularly due to work, but jeez it's shit. Kinda like the whole station, with the Lord Of Daft that is John Laws on in the morning. Yet somehow I find him oddly listenable and keep doing it to myself. Even though he is daft as fuck.

Just my advice on this mate: it's hard enough finding a rookie/cheapie who is playing 16, let alone a decent shout to play the year out. Do you really need them to play the rest of the year, as it would be easier (but still hard) to just get a cash out who plays 16.

We must have got him in the same week. I am bummed about it in hindsight - should have just gone straight for McInnes or Smith. But oh well, one lives and learns. With all the issues that came up this week, I was tempted to hold Farah by the end of today, but I think I'm at peace that I got rid of him. Just too much mindfucking for my liking.

I actually can't trade him. This week I have Dearden, Tolman, Rein problems. Rein to RTS paying off so far at least.

I assumed Maranta was a young rookie with a familiar name, but I assume we're actually talking about the old timer who used to play for Broncos? Is that who it is?

You just made Henchy's "list" as well mate, not sure if you were around when Henchy was an (ir)regular poster? Expect some rather off kilter porn in your Inbox later tonight.

Yeah rookies are hard right now to come by that are decent and have job security. I would like whoever it is to last the year as I burning through trades fast and who I trade in won't be getting traded back out lol. So if they can sit in my emergency and be a back up for the year it would be nice. Really want CM9 this week on fantasy and also have cash for the rookie/low priced player I get so can get RTS next week and then maybe Johnson.

Anyway, 315/5(c), mustn't grumble, avoided the carnage last night. Nikora still owed 7 points (he's on 46 on the NRL site) but everyone owns him so whatever.

Never go on matchups personally but if they did Wests was a BAAAAD matchup up for Lolo with best MT rate in NRL

Hench wouldn't come back the absolute melt

Yeah, I have/had Dearden, Flanagan and Lomax so had every excuse to hold off with Farah, but just needed to get it done. As it stands, I might already have CNK and Arrow to deal with for the next round, so I'm just trying to sort out whatever I can when I can. Problem is, I'd been good with trades so far, until this week which has undone all my previous resisting.

Nah don’t really need them to play the year out just looking to cash one of Dearden or Lomax out to build some cash to buy some backup next week, happy to hold one red dot until 16 but probs not 2. The wfb thing was just that Lomax was my Teddy back up so it’s just a this week thing....would probably prefer to gamble on him playing then buy someone totally shit

Thanks for the help by the way, youse are all great and that

lol. Nah, don't think I was around and thus I am still oblivious to what I've done and what awaits me... but it sounds kind of sexy so I'll await with anticipation.

Yip. Looked at this myself. And still went with him. His form has been too hard to ignore. And getting the minutes. Also, he was damm close to a try this evening too, which would have bumped up his score to 'fuck yeah' territory

Me too,  then I checked

Can't even argue with a 54 mate its a decent enough captains run! Was guarded by the Twal, not many pass through that territory

Oh, cool. Yeah, I've seen that tossed around a bit but I believe Bennett and assume he'll be good to go.

Murray's not far off Nikora, though, in that if he doesn't play it doesn't really make much of a difference because everyone else has him anyway.

RTS 70, Cartwright 61, motherfunsters

I think you'll find one in the same place you'll find the Loch Ness monster or the Ark of the Covenant.

Basically you're not going to find one.

rhinoceroo wrote:RTS 70, Cartwright 61, motherfunsters

Oh yeah baby!!

Verrills could score well round 16 but no job security going forward. How secure is Robson sticking around as a Tevaga type player off the bench or is he going to lose his spot to someone or Dragons going to sign someone soon with that spare money they have from JDB?
