Not so sure mate, Armitage and Laird out would be huge outs for sure :P We will have to wait and see, laird out would particularly hurt with Muphy already gone and trusty 5th man May spending extended time on the sideline. Although Luke brown has really stood up this year and Ciaran Byrnes also could fill the spot :P

Arma played like the whole game injured and still managed 148, what a beast :P

Remember I'm already missing Nicholls, Riska, and Sir Daniel of Caleb

Really missing Caleb in particular :(

Thought Caleb was back next week? :P
And i don't think you can count players who get dropped ;) Risk wasn't best 15 anyway not even with Cotch out :)
(I thought riska was out for the year but on the gold coast website they have him listed as test)

Caleb not 100% to return. Dunno what's happening with Nicholls, killed it then got dropped? And Riska out for a few weeks iirc, so means I'll have to play an extra forward or two.

yeah Nicholls played his best game then dropped haha, could come in this week with Gold Coast no doubt wanting to make a lot of changes!
Your forwards probably score better than Riska anyway :P That forward line is potent

haha tough on Lynch, wasn't really his fault :P

[GoLions]

Now Higgins out for 3 months :(

At least it'll make it easier for me to choose my forwards :P

If anyone wants to edit/design their guernsey in UF, they can do that now.  :P

It was raised in Match day thread whether we should have HGA for finals.

It was originally thought that we could do this throughout the season with UF doing the draw.  However although they did the draw well it did not allow for HGA. For those that are detail minded you would have noted that Breakers were always the first team named each week and that is the reason we abandoned as it would have taken more work to adjust a fair HGA based on UF draw.

However with finals it is easier to do based on ladder position so what are thoughts on HGA for finals excluding the GF.

[iZander]

not too worried either way tbh

[JBs-Hawks]

I think there should be HGA, gives reward to those who have put in a good season. Otherwise there is no difference between finishing 1st and 4th and 5th or 8th.

Man, can't believe how close I was to trading Cotchin to the Hurricanes to get Big Stefan. Cotch averaging a tick over 196, Stef averaging 133. Crazy.

Noooooooo, damn the Minson for Currie trade :( I knew Cotch was in for a good season :/

Wasn't just for Cotch either, i remember a Cotch + N13 + Minson offer ;) (i think)

I won't complain with Jelwood though :P and big Alex Pearce hahaha
