Hit and miss – hit and miss… that’s the way it has been all year for this pirate. As you can see from last week, yep… once again I hit a few rippers but the ones at the top failed me. Rowan Marshall missing training rattled me but this week I am staying strong…

🏷️ TAG ALERTS 🏷️

🚨 ZAK BUTTERS – we’re 99.9% certain he’ll cop attention from Cooper Lord who has done a number on Serong and Anderson in recent weeks holding them under 70. Big concerns considering he was tagged to under 40 very recently.

🚨 BAILEY SMITH – Tough to read but maybe he’s the front runner for the James Jordan tag. Obviously he has Max Holmes with him, who could also be a target, but if you’re a punting man… it could very well be Baz!

🚨 CHAD WARNER – Mullin might have him in his sights, but it could also be Isaac Heeney at the same time. Heeney would kill him up forward if that happened, so I’m more thinking it goes to Chad instead…. or maybe even a defender could cop it?
