Lisone seems out of favour at the Warriors. Wonder if they'd let him go.
They better not steal Satae from us!

Merrin incoming?

Dragons could look at Russell Packer, or Rhyse Martin

D Brown to Havili, then I'd be tempted to hold cash to get Bateman in one trade for Waddell after R12 (or Xerri if you can afford). The only real subguns you don't have are Tolman and Mahoney who probably don't merit a trade in at this point depending on trades

Nice mate. I'd be fairly aggressive if I was you. May as well go for broke and try and win the thing

I daresay most of this will already be on your mind mate

- Martin to go if not named today
- Lomax a possible makeweight for a havili, starling etc rd 12 cow
- Waddell, rein 1-2 more weeks. waddell especially looks maxed out
- Lawrie not as urgent a sell not that graham is out for 2 months and probably useful for 16 numbers
- D Brown another makeweight. get more cash flow going to maximise your final 17 asap. who knows when he's back. don't need that in your life
- I'd consider cleary to RTS. Another rd 16 player, shift ponga to the halves temporarily until DCE bottoms out. Having DCE a touch before everyone else could be a nice little POD for you on those ahead and dearden will cover you for origin period before you milk him too
- Xerri gone rd 17

Main targets will be bateman and DCE for that line up while also trying to turn rein and waddell into mcinness +1

All straight forward enough but I think if you can get some in ahead of the pack and have your 17 sorted early then you can still make ground

Are you looking for PODS too?

Alvaro to the Dragons? Seems to be a bit out of favour.

Russell Packer would make a lot of sense given he's played for them, graham and JDB out and he's so out of favour at the tigers for some reason

Ricky Martin is an interesting one. Sleep with Pay's daughter or something?

$239k They can take their pick 

Rex Hunt looks a lot more tanned than I remember

Is Kerr's first name Joe?

They can offer him a lot of Krispy Kreme Donuts for $239k

In all seriousness, I assume 239k spend is for the remainder of this season (eg until October 30), so having 239k with 5 months left to run on the contract cycle would be about the equivalent of being able to sign someone on a 500k a year contract.

Levi out for up to 8 weeks. Maybe my Dearden to Mann last minute drunken trade last week may pay off. I know S.Griffin is close to a return but hopefully Mann gets lots of game time at 6 or 9 over the next 8 weeks. 40's with the odd 50 would be great for some juicy price rises and a trade after R16.

I'd try and knock it down to $200K and the rest of the years worth of unlimited Kripsy Kremes. Actually, better make it 150K, we know his love for Krispy Kreme.

Probably Merrin. Packer is on around $600k at the tigers.

Some great PODS for R16 and the back end of the year
Harris
IPap
Barnett

McLean might be a good pick up over origin. Has a floor of 40 and ceiling of 60 and seems to have a consistent roll. Big POD too. DPP would be better haha

So 239k for 5 months is about market value for him.

I was gutted when Griffin went down. Would love to see him back sooner rather than later.
