Oh, that's fucking this up too? Could have sworn they were named, though? Or were they named and some restriction wasn't met so they had to drop out late?

All things being equal would you bring in TPJ or Matterson? Surely both miss out on Origin?

I find it hard to see him playing 2 days after origin regardless of how much they need him.  Those 2 weeks they are playing Cows and Dragons.  Very likely games  for them to win with Turbo or not.

Im like 4hrs late but come on.

The Sea Eagles are not very likely to win ANYTHING without Turbo

The Dragons beat them 38-12 already

All named. Not sure why since they are in the bubble, kinda silly.

I’d go Matto at current prices

Manly's left edge was absolute rubbish last week outside of the Warriors 20. Schuster had a terrible game (fantasy goggles off). Can see Broncos doing well down there with TPJ applying plenty of pressure.

I'd love to take a punt on Arthars but that's how I understand it. I even fear he's only one poor game away from making way for Niu too. Just can't deal with the shaky JS, personally.

Im picking Staggs to play ctr. Hard to see them doing a Milf/Staggs half pairing?

They have a few wins now, some momentum and confidence now. If Turbo was rested they would compete a lot better than they did the first few weeks.

Schuster probably had his worst game of the year last round. You could be right re: TPJ but i expect Josh to improve. Watching Turbo play as a Manly fan and fantasy owner really is a blast

Mate even as a Roosters fan it's just so entertaining. Definitely my favourite player to watch in the NRL and a stand up guy to boot.

It is what it is. Roll the di, have a crack, and then shoot the shit afterwards...

Grant and Fifita out, Ipap and TLolo in ? 

Have the Fifita out calls continued today ?

Silly is a polite way to put it. 2020 certainly murdered common sense.

Gotta be honest, probably won't watch the match now. Would have been interested to see those chaps go around, but probably do a few other things instead...

If turbo is rested you’d think DCE would be too, especially if he’s in the thick of it in game 1. Would be a rough game without both of them for Manly

There hasn't been any further word on Walker this week has there yet??

If out, looking at Walker to Moses, but if fit, looking at Simpkin to Starling which would have to be done tomorrow

Im betting staggs doesnt end up a 6.

They have to get a line break before they can worry about attacking the fullback.

In Starling watch I have decided to go Matterson + Peachey in and forego Starling.

Risk of Starling being an options long term, plus likely playing with 16 means I'll just go Peachey. Probably slightly overpaying but at least I can just sit him in my team all year until he gets injured.
If Starling is a long term option he'll still be affordable next week, and can at least get a look at how Hodgson is used. Matterson + Peachey are 2 season keepers and when low on trades never a bad idea to bring keepers in.

Was going to go Harris, but will get Matterson now for cheap
Watson to Tohu after round 13 probably the play to make. Just need a cash out at some point around then to fund it.

Any thoughts on these two trade options.. ?

Simpkins > Curran TU or
Schuster > Matterson TD

thanks.

I'm leaning towards getting a look too mate. Who did you trade? Guessing Fifita is one?
