You had me curious so I went to look at the profiles.
Most have picked NRL greats or professional athletes as their idols.
Cartwright named Ric Flair  
Woo!

ended up with a couple of bottles of creme de cacao (to make espresso martinis, I am in Melbourne after all) and a few scotch ales from Red Hill.

If you ever get a chance to go to Red Hill Brewery, get there. Best place to get a beer paddle and a few pints down the peninsula.

That explains his prowess with the ladies!

I always suspected that Bryce Cartwright was a stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!

Ric Flair is a terrible lying cunt piece of shit.

Rick Rude.... that's the real rick. (RIP).

Anyway. My 17:

Smith (McInnes)
Fifita, Yates
Surgess, Hess, Faufusi (BT)
Johnson, Lamb (Elgey)
Moga, Talakai (Suli)
Tedesco, RTS, Cotric

Top 17 out: Hayne, Whitehead

Anyone taking the punt on captaining Fifita against the Knights? I reckon he'll cross the line this round.

When is Hayne coming back?
Don't know who to trade out of Hayne R. Jennings or Moga

Decided to skip chn...might come back to haunt me.

Talaki to slater
Kbrom to BT

JUST IN - Roosters coach Trent Robinson is "confident" Blake Ferguson (ribs) will return V Manly. Final contact test today @FOXSportsNews

Still can't decide.

Pick two of Brailey, Musgrove, Yates, CHN, Jacks

Thank you

@Archer I hope the Broncos and in particular Josh McGuire does really well tonight so all you can do is look at your avatar and sigh!

If Blair is out tonight I don't think any of the young guns start I think Glenn would come into the second row and Thaiday would move to prop and niko takes that last spot

I don't know how or why I came to this decision, But I'm actually choosing to play Abbey over Cotric and Suli

Nah don't do it over Cotric

I'll personally be having a go at CHN for his high ceiling, and Yates

If you don't know why you're doing it, don't do it.

That is a poor decision.

High ceiling?

I think people are forgetting that his 62 came against the Knights in a 40-0 win.
That is not going to happen every week.

I'm expecting a high 20, low 30 from him if he plays the Storm.

I'd be looking at Brailey against the Knights and Yates for consistency. Will be making a lot of tackles so guaranteed 30+ I reckon. Jacks/CHN/Musgrove could score anything.

Well I'll get Zillman in my team for his high ceiling he scored 100 two years ago

I have Abbey and no way am I playing him. Probably won't trade him either, will sit there as a red dot
