What, is he going to teach them how to abuse their pregnant wives or something?

What a scumbag, should have been shunned from the game, not getting cushy positions like this!

There are 2 sides to every story  but yes Sam has made some mistakes as we all do!

Still he’s a Rugby League and Rabbitoh legend and will be a great assistant coach for us. Young forwards like Moale and Sulaka Fifita will learn so much from Sam

Oh come off it, abusing your pregnant wife to the extent he did isn't just 'making some mistakes'. He's lucky not to be behind bars.

You're a H2H player, right? I'd go with your option 2 then. Conserves a couple of trades which could be very useful in the H2H finals, Teddy is a clear upgrade on Edwards and Mbye is useful cover in case of a late out.

funny how certain elite players/ex elite players can do whatever they want & still get employed. Consider this Andrew Johns v Tim Simona (I think it was him). One's a a gambling addict & basically gets banned from the game & the other admits taking ecstacy before a SOO game & still gets employed in rugby league. This oozes white privilege & double standards.

“ Burgess later pleaded not guilty to charges of intimidation and common assault and claimed the allegations made by his ex-wife were "born out of malice or retaliation".[61] On 5 February 2021, Burgess was found guilty of intimidating his former father-in-law, Mitchell Hooke.[62] On 19 March 2021, Burgess had his conviction for intimidating his former father-in-law overturned on appeal.[63]”

“ On 20 October 2021, Burgess was cleared of all charges against him in relation to a year-long investigation into allegations of abuse levelled by his ex-wife. A statement read “NSW Police Operational Legal Advice unit just recommended no criminal prosecution(s) be preferred against Sam Burgess in relation to these allegations. That now concludes this investigation”

Yeah going for the league win.

Yeah your right Teddy is probably too dangerous not to have as most of my opponents have him

I was going to go Koula to Doueihi but might be worth just waiting to see how things go. I dont need to win this week as I have the minor wrapped up.

I reckon I'd take Haas straight up over Murray and May straight up over Mbye. Seems like comfortably option 1 for me

Anyone else captaining Teddy? I am

Captain teddy

How many trades does everyone think we should have from this point on? Debating how many trades to make this week. Leaning towards having 2 left after this week

I missed this I think but agree here.  Haas and May easily.

One needed 18 tries to average 60+
The other did it with 1 try

Trading out RFM,between these 2

TU:Butcher
TD:Douehi

Cover isn’t really important with either of these 2

Douhie owners - rejoice. Last weeks pain was short lived!

worth quoting in case people missed it

Douehi stocks rising

Even more reason to wait a week. Just remembered your point that those trades mean going with Palasia or Booth as 17th man, but that's something you can sort out next week.

Wouldn't be the first time a high-profile person has gotten off scott free and won't be the last sadly. That does little to influence my opinion of him.
