Drumph and Iran.

Thoughts? Did ol' Donnie Drumph go for the oldest panacea in the failing popularity playbook and start beating the drums of war to distract from impeachment?

"slippery, you have done a few posts regarding odds and you do it well.
So can backing the Eels at $21 price now (4.76% of the market) be looked at as backing a team who those setting the markets see as a  less than 5l% chance of winning? A team with…"

"Just missing out on the top 8 by points differential if Moses/JAC/Iongi/Paolo stay fit. If they are out for any extended periods/Origin, then we'll be lucky to end up hovering around 12th.

"Other than Moses, Paulo and JAC, we have a pretty average squad.
13th-16th but wouldn't be surprised if we battle it out with the Dragons for the spoon."

"I don't see the need for another front rower.  We have Paulo, JDB, Hopgood, Tuivati, Williams, Luca, Doory all of who can play in the middle. Yes we do need a couple of decent outside backs, but I don't think Lomax is as great a loss as people…"

 I'm not a huge fan of Matt Burton, however, if I was to pick the player that would be the ideal halves partner for Moses, Matt Burton would be close to the top of my list. Just his size and speed would attract defenders, therefore Moses and co…"
