That’s a bloody good side but you’re losing your half cover when you trade brown

Will be good to have Matterson back this week. Grant will have to come in and start for CS9 who will hopefully only be 1 week. Apparently Bellyache said if he had to Smith could’ve went back on but Storm were pretty comfortable.

Can’t help but feel Lomax was only a couple catches and better passes from another 50+ score on the weekend.

Given I'm in the top 30, I have zero interest in getting a POD choice and would rather just pick the highest scoring option (which may or may not turn out to also be a POD)

I'm still just in the top 50 and have a pretty much complete 17 already. I was more interested in which players were PODdy from a who to cheer for point of view. Basically captain choice and Murray/Matterson scoring a try is what I need to start moving in the right direction again.

I'm backing Smith to play this week.

Any idea how long Hynes is going to be on the storm bench ?

Can't see them rushing him back in for the titans game. Might as well put him in cotton wool for a couple of weeks, give him a rest to make sure he is good for the back half of the year.

Wish I knew either way re Cam. 2 weeks out and im trading this week, but we won't know

Sounds like Best could be out for a spell, might need to use a trade on him.

Best WFB or CTR who is not Teddy, Ponga, Crichton, Aubbs, Averillo?

I am sitting at 87 overall. First time ever inside the top 100 (gained 14 ranks last week). With Matterson back hopefully I can start moving closer to the top 50. Not sure whether I pick up Teddy, take a punt on Fifi/Bateman, grab someone like McInnis or Cook or try and find a undervalued 2RF to partner Lolo and Matto.

Only 146 points behind 1st in the Storm league… players different are

HIM – Cook, Mofo, RFM, Hunt, Peachey, Teddy, Pearce, Starling EMG - Talau, Fogarty, Hampton
ME- Twal, Butcher, Lucy, DCE, Lomax, Herbie, Matto, Young EMG – Siro, Niu, Randall

I am actually more scared of the team in 2nd. They are pretty much set for the rest of the year.

Barnett scoring 56 points following up his 76 points in round 11 & he played big mins at lock again although injuries helped. He's now 566k for a starting lock playing big mins seems a bargain.

He’d give me a heart attack.. looks like hes gonna get injured every play when he shoots out the line and tries to put a shot on.

I'm surprised with the lack of piss-taking when DWZ played the ball the wrong way. When I was a young boy watching league at Carlaw Park & this happened & the entire stadium burst out in laughter. Back then Carlaw Park was packed every week so there were at least 1,000 people there so the laughing was very loud.

Good shout

The 76 in R11 would be overs due to the injuries to McCullough and Watson in that game forcing big minutes. But he might be a better shout than Luke Thompson for around the same price.

Certainly worth considering for value for money over Bateman/McInnes/expensive players

You think he has the same physio as Koro?

I remember in 2018 I think he did his pec during the Raiders game. Not sure what the diagnosis was from memory but he came out for his 400th I think 8 days later and got like 90 fantasy points. Didn't know they were playing the Titans but yeah he won't miss more than one game I reckon. If they were playing Roosters or someone like that this week, I think he'd be a chance.

Rotations affected in this game as well though with Fitzgibbon and Randall failed HIAs

Yeah, 2 weeks in a row injuries and HIA's has seen him benefit.
