Sanity prevails

Well maybe on their part....some may question the sanity of spunking four trades this week with two Origins to come (not me though!!!!)

Would love to see Tapine back to 80 minutes or at least 60 at Lock. He is cheap as fuck.

5th of never the way he's going.

Foxsports maintain Cordner and possibly Teddy will sit out this round

Any chance Robson keeps up his scoring off the bench? Averaging 38 and plays R16. Has there been any injuries forcing him to play 40 minutes a game?

Also if Jayden Brailey has hyper extended his knee surely 1 week off isn't enough? Sounds like a 3-4 week injury to me?

First game they had injuries which meant bigger minutes.

He only played this week because Leilua slept in (or something), and played as a lock while on the field.

I will have a look

I don't think Kbrom went off - I think the NRL live feed stuffed up and set that Stimson replaced Kbrom, then corrected it to be Stimson replacing Kaufusi. Once they corrected it, they removed the error, but my site had already grabbed that.

Cheers mate.

So it seems Stimson got his minutes through JAC's HIA and Kaufusi getting a post origin rest. I wonder who he normally pinches them off. One to watch I guess, I don't need him this week.

I think he's doing a Brandon Smith, playing lock, jumping into hooker if needed, because the Dragons need players in the middle with Graham and JDB etc out.

Is Connor Watson a good buy this week?

Speaking of cheap hookers, Sam Verrills played hooker on the weekend, did he get upgraded to a top 30 contract? Does he stay at 9 until Friend is back? Could be a good cash out for round 16.. would need to jump on this week if he is named in the 9

Well I guess you can only go off what they tell us. Even if it was three weeks, that would only mean two games though with the rep round. Is two weeks starting and a couple of points off the bench in rd 16 worth the trade. Marginal at best I think.

Hallelujah now I can piss off 4 useless players instead of 2

Who knows, we are the Roosters so Uncle Nick can just put in a word to Greenberg if we need Sam to be upgraded to Top 30.

Anyway I'd say so. Radley is a lot better in the forwards and Sam did a good job filling in. I have way too many HOK's in my team as is but he could be a decent cash-out.

Someone else mentioned the reason was probably that they needed Radley at lock with the other guys like JWH/Crichton etc out.

I'm really tempted to bite the bullet and bring Teddy in this week if he plays. Gonna score about 300 against the Dogs.

I was looking forward to those 4 trades but after they initially gave us just 2, I've forgot the other trades I wanted to make lol

After three losses I doubt it. I think they’ll be keen to make a statement

Hope a cow pops up this week somewhere.

At the moment my pre TLT trades are
Sivo > Pappy
Tolman > Bateman
JFH > CS9

Need a cash out for Dearden but not sure who and will also endure Mann at HLF one more week for multiple reasons;
Arey may only miss one more game - this week then could be back R15 plus Bennett will have the bunnies flying into the finals and for Arey to have hopefully Burns and Roberts plus a fresh Surgess he should see some big scores i think. If he isn't back by R15 then guys like DCE, SJ have huge BE's so can get a look and I am also really wanting Wighton but want to give him a week to see if he is still favoured for Origin.

Makes my team

Cook (c)
Fifi Haas
Taupau Murray Tolo
Cleary Mann
Bateman Nikora
Teddy Ponga Pappy
McInnes Smith Martin Xerri
CNK Brittain Arey Dearden*

*will be traded to a R16 cow after TLT.

Leaves Martin, CNK trades before R16 and Mann/xerri probably after R16 maybe?

ARey > SJ
Tolman > Smith
Young > SST
Dearden > Watson

Last roll of the dice
