    Fogarty was probably best player on ground until the 79th min in State Championship GF last year (NSW cup winners vs QLD cup winners)

    That's all I really know of him though

    Dont think hopoate is worth a trade in. Fifita could only miss a week or two

    I'm pretty sure I heard Seibold say on fox league live last night fifita could be out for a while something like 4+ weeks

    TPJ back from suspension in R6

    Will probably be suspended for R7 though

    I’m thinking about Hopoate as 3 rounds @ 40 points is 150k but would prefer Magoulias if he is named to start

    I've heard 2-3 weeks for Fifi, meaning Hopoate gets 2-3 price rises, which considering the severe lack of cheapies, is worth it to me.

    2 price rises is almost certainly not going to be worth it.

    Broncos have a lot of other players who could potentially start ahead of Hopoate too.

    This article is saying Fifita out for at least 1 week. https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/05/15/broncos-v-eels-pangai-out-mahoney-in-doubt/

    Interested to hear the thoughts of our resident physio and if it is likely to be a non issue when he returns, or take some time to get confidence back in it.

    We dont at back row with pangai and fifita out. Palasia did his acl. Hopoate is the only other forward in the top 30 who was available in round 2 (when glenn was out) and hoppa is more of a lock anyway

    If dev list players are allowed to play we could use bullemor though..

    Anyway, still cant see how he is worth the risk that fifita comes back in rnd 4

    Would he even slot straight back into the starting 13? Could be eased back in on the bench

    If he got enough miniutes, could be an interesting buy

    Also even if he doesn't get minutes, he should shed a bit of cash if/when he moves back onto the wing while building up match fitness. Definitely one to keep an eye on

    Far out centre/WFB is gonna be a nightmare until TLT hahaha I was considering Rapana but now he's probably playing stints in the forwards off the bench, Kennedy could still be fb in round 3, I'm tempted by Graham who is a gun centre but there's no time frame on Roberts return so not sure if I can go there

    Anybody know the Dragons outside back situation? I'm running Lomax/Wiliame as my centres currently, is there any word on who's gonna start?

    You're correct.  He said 4 or 5 games he'll miss.  They aren't going to rush him. I think he even said that he's looking towards finals already or something so they definitely won't risk him. He's a trade I think.

    Reports in casualty ward of possible pec injury for Ah Mau. Would mean JTB probably keeps spot

    A lot of serious injuries in forwards for Warriors this year

    a quick look at the new 2 week draw and it appears the NRL are trying to even the comp out early. A lot of the top teams with wins on the board are playing each other while losing teams already under pressure are facing each other

    Welcome back everybody! This is my first look at fantasy since round 3 was supposed to be. It’s funny, it turns out there is life outside of football. Anyway, very glad it’s back. First look at my team since then and I had completely forgotten just how shit it is in my centres! Fortunately I dodged Fafita, Flegler, Cleary etc but still have Ponga (1 week won’t matter too much). I had already used my 2 trades the Monday after Round 2 completed. Very nice to receive two more to play with this week. Any news on Kennedy keeping his FB position?

    The new rules are much more different than I had realised. https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/05/15/sin-bin-risk-for-repeat-offenders-how-six-again-rule-will-work/
    Key changes include:
    - Teams do not have to be warned about repeated infringements before the referee awards a full penalty and send the offending player to the sin bin as a stronger deterrent.
    - Significantly, any time the referee penalises a player for a professional foul or repeated infringements in the ruck, the offender will be automatically sent to the sin bin.
    - if, in the opinion of the referee, the attacking team deliberately breaks down play in an attempt to convert "six-again" to a full penalty, the referee will order a scrum to be packed with the defending team being awarded the feed.
    - The Refs' Bunker will monitor the rucks and may assist the referee when the opportunity presents during breaks in play.

    Its going to be really different

    On the NRL site no Grant in the Tigers 17, no Best in the Knights 17 and no Magoulias in the Sharks 17 etc..... surely that won’t happen. Just say it did happen it wouldn’t leave me with many options at all!

    In regards to the Ah Mau injury you’d think that’s good news for JTB. Hopefully JTB can still get around those 40mins he was getting.
