I can almost see him banging out a concerto at parra leagues.

Hahaha I had no idea what you were on about till I re-read my post

I don't have the answer to that, Im just posting something I saw on twitter. You can take it up with the mole if you would like further information

I can't really see how it would help with wages either. How long do the seasons go for - a chunk of his 2017 wage may be written off as well? I'm not sure when he'd be back for the Eels.

If you believe the rumours that Semi isn't happy with the coin he is on, releasing him to chase $$$ for six months is a good way to placate him. I'd imagine doing it under the guise of salary cap pressure is a way to get around the NRL's rule of not allowing players overseas mid contract?

We need more games today !

I ended up bringing in Munster, J Turbo, NPR -> Bateman, Whitehead, Mitchell

Who do I trade in for Semi? Seems he's gone.
(ABC radio reporting what that Danny said on 9 just now)

Well at least Semi played this week for my ultimate side, apparently he has gone to Fiji and told the eels he ain't coming back lol

Danny Weidler from 9 news just reported Semi has walked out on the Eels ala SBW and told them he won't be back. Thats a real shame if true, loved watching the Semi trailer but on a lighter note, I wish he done it before last night

lol did he even bother tell his team-mates or did he just get on a plane and get the hell out of dodge. Pretty funny seeing as he scores a super try last night and everyone's happy but then today he's like "I'm gone and I ain't coming back"
Could of done it earlier and not given all his owners a 60+ point boost dammit

The Semi news is amazing. From a fantasy perspective what a bastard for fucking over his owners. I don't own him but if I did I'd be spewing.

That's terrible for the semi owners

My first season of actually owning him, bought him a month ago. Didn't realise just how good he really is till watching him intently.

But now, well, fuck him.

Massive changes for the storm side;

C.Munster
B.Green

all are not playing..................................




Craig Bellamy has made a number of changes to his side for Saturday night’s meeting with the Dragons in Wollongong.

18-year old halfback Brodie Croft will make his first-grade debut, Slade Griffin comes into the side for his first NRL appearance in three years while Ben Hampton makes his return from a calf injury sustained in Round 10.

First-grade regulars Cameron Munster, Blake Green and Tim Glasby will all miss the clash against Paul McGregor’s Dragons.
Green has been sidelined for another week with the calf injury that kept him out of Storm’s Round 14 clash with the Roosters, while Storm will also be without Munster (rolled ankle) and Glasby (shoulder).
Young Tonumaipea replaces Munster at fullback and will make his first appearance since ANZAC Day after being sidelined with a knee injury.

17. Young Tonumaipea
2. Suliasi Vunivalu
3. Cheyse Blair
4. Ryan Morgan
5. Marika Koroibete

Jesus, what the fuck. And they still can't even let Kennar have a run for me even with nobody else playing.

No Munster fucking stinks. And not even Curtis Scott to mitigate.

Prepare for the fantasy gods, lads.

This past hour has never happened

Just brought in Munster (from Mitchell), and VC locked. Hopefully Mitchell doesn't score big tomorrow!
