Have the 18th man/reserves been playing NSW Cup as well?

I think it would be strange to have a hooker as 18th though, interchange position likely?

If Mbye goes to centre Jet dropped and Liddle to interchange I’ll fume.

I’ll be down to 16!

Injury?

Not sure. I don't know if there is any clear rule on how they get named tbh.

Could be Mbye centre Liddle bench though..

I am still willing to take the punt on Simpkin as Verrills and Blore will be back soon anyway if it goes pear shaped!

If you could only pick one between Verrills/Blore/Simpkin next week which one would you choose?

I don't think Liddle qualifies as 18th man - Needs to be a developmental player or something?

Was looking it up when curious as to whether origin will have 18th man reserves. Not sure on that one still. Clubs won't be happy losing a player if they're not even playing.

To be fair Liddle is still developmental

Is this a question for everyone? Verrills for me

They changed that. It can be anyone now

I think they scrapped that. There were definitely non development players named as 18th man last week.

Haha yeah I've got no idea tbh. I googled Liddle contract.. and he re-signed in 2019, so have to assume it's a regular contract.

Ah okay, cheers mate. Nevermind me. I hadn't been paying much attention to the 18th men, but was about to check.

Yeah should've realised. Chee-Kam was our 18th man reserve last week.

I have no center or WFB coverage with Niu out. If I do Liddle to Simpkin and sell Milf, I have 908k. Am I better off getting a WFB gun such as Ponga (tempting as a Newcastle fan) or getting Peach and just banking the 350k? Or even just going without the coverage for this week and getting Tohu, then going Riki to Peach next week

Anyone else still a bit nervous about Fogs ability to punch out a random 30-40 here and there

Looking to bring Fog and Simpkin in this week. Can do it for Liddle and Niu, but that means I can't reverse/change either trade after the Broncos play.

Could trade out Milf instead of Niu, which would make it 2 straight trades (Milf>Fog, Liddle>Simpkin) just incase McGuire is playing silly buggers, but my gut is telling me Milf will be back sooner rather than later so don't really want to trade him at the moment.

if he averages 55 what's it matter? not like you're going to captain him, and he's going to be in your 17 each week.

Just the one trade this week. Gone cold on Tevaga.
Will stick with Liddle to Fog and play either Lodge or Stefano. No idea how to choose which one

Yes - hence why his historical average is 49 and he has averaged 47 so far this year. No way he competes with DCE/Moses for second best half. Moses is at more of a discount and played with a bung calf second half of year. No Brown this week with Broncos and Bulldogs to follow I'm taking the plunge.

I think I’ll hold Niu he will be back soon!

Hhmmmm maybe I could bring Moses in and hold off Haas a bit more.... decisions decisions!

Ah I am silly... I guess without the injury game his average is 56... Didnt think of that
