There will be Surgess of great footy.

The CAMeras will be rolling

So fire up the BBQ and grab yourself a Johnny WALKER

Enjoy the game!

Bunt or SJ. I would get Bunt without much thought but his missed tackles in the 2 games he scored tries are alarming. Nice run of home games though

i'd be getting hunt but thats because i feel like he is more stable/reliable.

Just for a bit of discussion and consideration I'm hearing rumours from Panthers fans that Elijah Taylor will be seeking an early release to the Tigers very soon. If it happens well with his high BE, give him a few weeks and I think he will be a prime buy for the bye period.

Sounds like Bowen won’t get a 3rd game, for those trading him in. Linnett even a chance for this week.
From NRL.com:-

On the left side, Javid Bowen was again named this week, but the door has been left ajar for Kane Linnett’s return.
Linnett went down with a shoulder injury in Round 4 against the Broncos and was originally expected to be out until Round 9 but as was the case last season with the majority of injured players, he looks likely make his return earlier than expected.
While this week may be unlikely, there is a solid chance the Scotland international will line up in the home clash against the Rabbitohs next Friday.
“I think it is too early to say [whether he plays this week]. We’ve got to wait and see how it progresses. We don’t want to take any unnecessary risks with it,” Green said.
“He hasn’t trained this week so it’s probably too hard for me to say. We will give him every possible chance, but I think it is unlikely this week.”

The above was a post by Catfish on the NRL Supercoach website

Do people know something that i don't or has the little green light caught people out who haven't done their research? (selected as 19th man)

If true, he'd be a great pick up for the Tiges and you're right, a superb pick-up if he goes straight into starting in the back-row which would be a no-brainer for 93.75% of the current coaches in the NRL.

Sironen, Lovett, Halatau.... maybe CLaw owners should be worried, he might slot back into the centres pushing Naiqama to the wing and Rankin left right out. Naiqama has been going great guns so far though so hard to see him losing his spot.

Sue back into the front row rotation?

that list is for 'this week' only, yeah?

Feeney ~may get a run in the ctrs this week, Sione is in doubt:

Awesome! Looking forward to that single-digit AE score!

Y'know I don't mind Feeney getting another run, means he might play Round 12 and maybe even make some money in the meantime.

at least he might make a few tackles at ctr and push himself into the positives.

would be hilarious if he ended up making 100k or something

I agree. His ownership is still a whopping 35.05%.

It will end the season quite high too.

Even if a great cash cow turns up in 7 weeks time, a lot of people won't have spare trades to bring them in, and others will have just given up playing and couldn't be bothered.

Anyone still hanging onto Carter in the hope he'll get back in the 17?

I think (think!) he's out this week for me. Don't have fond memories of my time spent with him

Hanging on to him to save the trade for a meaningful upgrade, or downgrade to someone who will make me quick cash, no point selling him an bringing in so chum that will average 20 and never make my Playing team.

Are you saying Benry might make a comeback before the end of the season?

Pretty happy with my team at the moment

I like the prospect of Maubs to Harris in a few weeks

I've got Bateman and Tapine on the watchlist for this week after Soli's breakage

Looking pretty descent for origin already

Bring on Captain Teddy's century this week!
