    Yeah I have B. Sironen & H. Young. I think I overestimated what they would score as I have to play 1 of them as 1 of my starting 2fr each week. I think even though there is the urge to upgrade 1 of them with all the injuries happening it's probably better to save trades for injuries.

    Same as me. I need Ponga though. Prepared to go all out and rip the team apart and hope for the best.

    I'm getting so desperate I'm looking at Liu as a downgrade for Young to turn Pearce into Ponga.

    Jeez Started out gangbusters this week but really coming home with a dry sail or whatever the opposite of a wet sail is. Lots of 30s and low 40s which I suppose is fine from guys who aren’t supposed to be in your 17 but not so much from JFH & Pearce. Next few trades could be crucial.

    I'm currently 9/464 thanks to underwhelming scores by Croker, Young, Teddy, Sironen and Starling. I also have Cleary, Carrigan and Tevaga's scores on my emergency which brings me up to 12/644

    Why does everyone write one score and then say but I’ve got 100 points from EMG to be added.

    Just do the math yeah and save us some reading.

    Cleary indicated Dylan Edwards is likely to return from a hamstring injury against the Warriors, while a decision will be made on whether to recall Jack Hetherington after the prop attracted a possible five-week ban for a high tackle on Martin Taupau.

    Siliva Havili didn’t return with a triceps injury; mechanism of heavy load on triceps + lack of arm function afterwards brings concern for at least moderate strain. If strain confirmed usually anywhere from 2-6wks return to play. Repetitive passing at hooker: need healthy triceps

    For the record this is from NRL physio.

    As NRL Physio posted a few weeks ago, the injury tally is actually lower than previous seasons so I would say it's good management(having a full 21) rather than luck that is driving this season

    I'd argue trading in Crichton at that time was a bad move. He had one game with bigger than average tackle count because Butcher copped a shot in the nuts and had to defend wider.

    While it was still an upgrade, trading him in at 830k instead of Murray or JTurbo at 750k was a mistake regardless. Can't predict that Crichton would get injured of course but I think the gap from Leilua to Crichton(even without hindsight) wasn't as big an upgrade as some thought. I only got rid of Leilua because of the injury cloud, but prior to that he was a 50+ averaging second rower in his career and nothing we saw early days proved different

    I am pretty sure Crichton was defending a man in for not only that Storm game, but both the Cowboys game and against the Raiders until he got injured. The Cowboys match saw his tackle count down because there were 11 tries in the game, and was again looking like it would have been right up there with the Raiders if he played more than 60 minutes for the game. Crichton was looking like a higher ranked tier of gun, in the same way Taumalolo shouldn’t just be lumped in with Murray and Jurbos. I don’t think it’s ever a bad trade to get in a SuperGun despite the difference in value, because had he stayed healthy he could have easily put 10-15 points per week on those other guns.

    All hitting the fan at the broncos it seems. Boyd "quits" leadership group.. now pangai intentionally breaking the bubble, after a pretty lacklustre effort on friday night. Im assuming he wants out and there is merit to the roosters rumour

    Results about to go well downhill again

    Don't think the boyd stuff needed to be made public. Tigers will race you for the worst record from the remaining rounds.

    Tigers are going to pull out a shock win or 2 to keep the mathematical hope alive.

    9th place doesn't happen without a little bit of work

    Billy Walters likely torn ACL according to NRL physio when he was chasing through for that Marshall kick. Best case is MCL injury for him apparently

    Gets worse for Tigers
