“He’s got a sore hand, I think a dislocated finger,” Ken Hinkley said.
“It was like, ‘We’re not quite sure how this is looking, we’ll take some necessary action here and take him out of the game based on (the fact) he’s too important to us for not just today but for the long term and we’ll look after him.’
It was ‘Like’..don’t tell me he talks Kardashian too!

I’ve got to trade Xerri, JFH and possibly Rozee. Still got 6 trades and a boost, but a tough week!
Yeah I’ve got those 3 and Miller with 5 trades left. Regretting holding jhf over macrae
Sick to death of how woke and soft our game is being made. Piss the umps out and let hard men be hard. If you charge in with ur head and cop a whack your fault as long as its not malicious. We arent netball…..
Should SC add 3-5 trades to the season ? The carnage will mean people Will just switch off early which is a pity. In the other hand, people who held to their trades have to reap the rewards
I’ve always thought they should allow for sort of a sandbox thing, where you can de-register your team from the OR race and get trades. Just to have fun weekend to weekend.
That said, I think we’ll be an unlimited trade/weekly trade format very soon. Just with the nature of soft tissue injuries/lists and the need to retain marketshare vs Fantasy.
That’ll annoy the purists, who really were fantastic at long game, conservative and consequential trading, but those days are long gone.
