1) Daly Cherry Evans came off with what Manly indicated was back spasms.If only spasms - painful +++ but unlikely to require lengthy recovery, symptoms can linger/be easily re-aggravated if he plays too soon. Worst case underlying structural damage (eg disc) but hopefully avoided.

2) Confirmation - it is a hamstring issue for Tom Trbojevic (via AAP).
Described as “tightness” post match but significant history here obviously a concern - is Turbo’s 7th hamstring injury in the past 7 seasons. Manly will decide tomorrow if he requires a scan.

70% of you don't own him. Another 70+ score.

 

[Wrighty]

Next week he will be $480K by my estimate

Metcalf will move from $429K to about $450K

 

[tyrael]

Looks like Purdue a giant dud for now.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Rough night to be a RW owner....

Fuck... How do you manage to play for the full 80 and score a -2.

 

[Rizzah]

Where'd Matty Nicholson come from? 83 from 66mins.

Haas still an absolute monster. 83 from 57mins.

I will be jumping on Nicholson next week at the expense of Cole

I had Walsh. Hardly got involved in the first half and everything he touched turned to shit in the 2nd.

 

[tyrael]

AFB and yeo scoring about half their average. What happened.

Thinking about swapping out AFB now. Maybe his slim shape not helping

 

[tyrael]

So I got Preston and Campbell (not to be confused with Preston Campbell ) left to score 50 points combined to win this round. If Yeo scored normally it would be more even but I should get there in a canter.

Hoping to score over 900 this week. I definitely made a bad trade last week. Need to do more research this week.

Spare a thought for the ones who captained him.

Apparently -2 becomes -4!

Cannot confirm if true though

This has been a crazy round for me.

940 with May & Seyfarth to go - should crack 1,000 for the first time!

I'm currently 324th for the round and 1,012th overall. Long way to go but I've never sat this high before

That's awesome - way to go. Excellent !!! We have a very strong group of players as I think one or two others (based on my memory from last year) will finish high up the ranks.

Are you in the comp bro? Whats your name if you are, tryna have a quick look at ur team haha.

Awesome effort tho, 1000 is exceptional

 

[WA Warrior]

Carnage going to start.
Hubner banned 2 weeks with early guilty plea.
Also heard Hosking thinks he has a broken wrist.

What the shit

Can I get some contextual advice from a long time player ?

For this coming weeks trades
1) getting in Humphrey’s a case of close the gate after the horse has bolted
2) trading out Duffy as he sucked last. Night for someone similar priced

I feel these trades are just reactive chasing the game trades rather than proactive trades if that makes sense ?

Is that normal for this stage of the game ?

Horse has probably bolted on Humph - he is going to go up by another $100k. If you can get him though you probably still should as he looks an absolute gun that is going to score high every week.

Duffy is an interesting one, I'm moving him out of my 17 but not going to trade him just yet. If you are looking for a value trade, have a look at Kade O'Donnell for the Cowboys. About the same price as Duffy and the fans are calling for him to stay in the team. It's just whether Peyton agrees.
