Best case scenario. Papy Fb, Hynes 5/8, Jack's no 9, relieved by Smooth, K Brom stays where he is.

It would have been nice to go elsewhere but it would be very hard to get 40k fans per day anywhere but Brisbane and money talks
I think it's fair enough to keep it at Suncorp - it looks like Brisbane are great hosts for the round - and maybe should keep it in perpetuity while it's working well.
Instead of shifting it, they should do a second (post Origin) magic round - like round 20?.
Maybe Melbourne would be a good trial location for it - they love their sport and it's fairly accessible for out-of-towners

As the resident First-place fantasy team stalker, I can tell you;
They had banked two trades heading into this round.
So far they've traded: Averillo -> Starling (trade #15 leaving 19 remaining)
I'm expecting them to make a second trade this round.
Probably Fifita -> Matterson (as they won't want Momo if he's a bench player, and they won't want Laurie's 30 if Momo is out).

I think quite a few are having the same question, so let’s do the good old TŪ TD
Who to put in the 17 spot?
TU- Walsh
TD- Alvaro
Alvaro roof is probably 35 but floor is 25. Safe option.
Walsh much higher risk but higher reward. Likely to get more game time than last week tho. Risky opton

Probably discussed, but re: Pap playing
Craig Bellamy said on Saturday. “He’s trained really well all week and hopefully he’ll line up for us.”

Easy loop for people that have Walsh Alvaro and didn’t sell Dfifi also.
Dfifi in 17 and then Walsh 18. Walsh scores well, leave him there otherwise swap Alvaro to Dfifi. Right?

Otherwise it’s Alvaro for me.

At this point i cant do anything about it anyway, but come on, a yes or a no answer is not that hard.
Im assuming hes in otherwise no need to keep him in the cut to 19

Might be genuinely touch and go waiting to see how the field looks. Holding up really well after 5 games, I'm assuming they are doing the same as 2019 where new grass and heat lamps are being used at close of play each day to try and keep the surface up to standard. But if the field isn't up to it by half time of Warriors Eels game don't be surprised to see Papy sit

Interesting you kept Egan. Was it just because he was a green dot? I moved him on this week
With 6 red dots to start the round (plus Walker in doubt) there's no way a green dot was leaving my team.

519 with JFH, Ipap, Harris, Moses, Cleary (c), Curran, bird, pappy/laurie.
Feel like my score is low, but have mostly quality players in today. Will be keeping a close eye whilst on the course draining double bogeys

How does he compare to noted midget Tom Starling

Surely you mean Alvaro to Starling. Did he actyally trade out Averillo?

The Bludgers are cruising along nicely this weekend - cue the carnage to come.
552 with Alvaro, I.Pap, (C)Leary, Moses, Burton, Bird & Pappy to come, Walsh comes in if Alvaro is a non-starter.
Looking at 1000 for the round, and an end to the slide from the past 3 weeks.
Edit: knowing how this round has played out, any number of these players could be binned or sent-off.
Been a blast reading the comments from the crew who are there, may have to head up for the 2022 weekend. My 13 year old is very keen.
