Same.  Leaning towards no trades now.  usually this much indecision ends badly.

Threads are limited to 50 pages so mods lock and start a new one.

Mods are all useless and lazy here though so usually happens somewhere around page 51-54.

Bored enough to do some research on this to prove my point, let's just go for a simplified definition of a gun being any player with a 50+ avg, just to avoid subjectivity of who is and isn't a gun, and lets apply some simplified logic to averages and say that as a general rule, you'd expect a player to go under or over that number at around a 50% each way rate -

Since the season resumed, the Broncos have played 24 'guns', and only 10 of those have managed a better score than their season average, so just under 60% of guns who play against us can't even do better than their average, let alone go large like they seem to be expected to against such a dreadful team.

Is that just an arbitrary number though? Where did 50 come from?

That’s my concern as well mate.

Do you think there is any chance Ivan pulls a swifty tomorrow night and gives Cleary a freshen up being a late out before kick off? Or you reckon he won’t do that til closer to finals?

Aloiai Young Latrell Siro

Randall HTF Niu Musgrove

6 trades left, 543k.

Plan was to trade Aloiai, Young and Butcher to Moses, Fifita and Bateman over the next two weeks, leaving me with 3 trades left for the run home.

A bit sceptical of that plan now with Siro's bad last week and Randall being dropped with Green on the scene.

Otherwise, I'm at a bit of a loss, any thoughts?

from ye olde sportal days, apparently any more than 50 put unnecessary weight on the servers or some shit, so when a thread hit 50 pages it had to be closed and a new one made, I don't know if any such restrictions are in place here, I think it's just tradition at this point.

Sort of, but it was 200 pages on Sportal surmo. After that a vortex would open up off the Continental Shelf and it would start raining fish in Glen Innes.

Pacey's Best wrote:Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has reduced his squad to face New Zealand Warriors at Central Coast Stadium on Friday.
Matt Burton and Mitch Kenny have been omitted as the team chases its ninth-straight victory, which would be the longest winning streak in the club's history.

That puts paid to the chance that Cleary might be rested this week.
