Same here!

Surely even though Slade Griffin is said to return R16-18 that he would be less effective than last year. Didn't his leg practically shatter the ACL injury was that gruesome. Any Knights fans know if he's returned to training and the like, like surely he'd need to regain fitness and stuff and Watson would remain starting HOK

Same same

not that it matters because my team is shit, but how do these trades look?

Tolman > Bateman
DWalker > Milford
Sivo > Staggs

Leaves me with

Smith
Fifita, Haas
Taumalolo, Taupau, Murray
Milford, Pearce
Bateman, Nikora
Ponga, Tedesco, Thompson

Twal, Mahoney, Xerri, CNK
Staggs, Reynolds, Dearden, Brittain

Any news on D Brown, tempted to flick him of for some WFB coverage of either To'o or Simmonson.

ARey owners trading or holding? Not sure what I'm doing at this stage

Planning on holding for this week, re-evaluate after the rep round, or maybe the 2nd bye

Bank: $103 000

HOK: D. Cook
FRF: A. Fifita, P. Haas
2RF: C. Murray, M. Taupau, J. Taumalolo
HLF: A. Reynolds, K. Mann
CTR: J. Bateman, B. Nikora
WFB: J. Tedesco, K. Ponga, CNK

C. Smith, R. Farah, R. Mahoney, M. Rein

Z. Lomax, B. Xerri, T. Dearden, B. Brittian

At the moment I am thinking Rein + Arey/CNK/Mahoney This week. I definitely need a HLF or RTS this week if not both. For the cheapest option of Rein and CNK out I could get M. Moses and RTS

Good moves, I think. Go for it.

Some risk certainly with Buhrer in 14 and Ponga back

No Ponga and Lino no doubt helped him.

Gets key role in 16 if you can afford for him not to HAVE to be first 17 in other weeks. Wouldn’t want to rely on him for run home.

Flicked ol glass knees last week to milford

Get on him, queerdon gone so hopefully he hogs all the kicking again.

Best half that wont be dicked around by origin and playsround 16

Definitely putting some doubt in my potential Watson trade in

Loved having him last year til he got injured.

Watson is prone to some MTs, he isn’t going to have Klem in the middle all game either soaking up tough runs with watson jumping on, ive got a fairly decent points outlay from Watson but for treads I’m at this point he is a slight worry

I’d still probably take a risk though if I didn’t already have him

Morgan at FB again is not good.

dont usually ask advice for my trades but this week is specially tough

CNK>RTS
Dearden> Hutchison (free up some $)
Tolman> Pearce
Young > Staggs

Team

HOK: Cook
FRF: Fifita, Haas
2RF: Lolo, Murray, Taupau
HLF: Pearce, Munster
CTR: Xerri, Bateman
WFB: Ponga, Teddy, RTS

Bench: Havili, Nikora, McInnes, Staggs
EMG: Whitbread, Hutchinson, To'o, Brittain


abit light on my bench i know but with $250 itb i can focus the next few rounds on filling it out with 2 more keepers... as i think my starting 13 is done.

JMK appeared on anyone's radar?

Without getting Watson, and wanting to afford other guns (CS9, Bateman) which means I can't afford the gun HLFs playing R16 instead of Watson (Brooks, Milford), he still looks like one of the better options

Other WFB/HLF options are: RTS (shocking form), SJ (want him in 1-2 weeks at discount)

I think with Knights taking down 2 of the gun teams (albeit weakened Souths, but Knights also weakened) and if they put up fight/win v Storm, surely Nathan Brown just sticks with the winning formula

He’s worst case a bit of half/wfb cover which allows you to scrap Dearden Garrick or anyone similar sniffing around. I personally own AJ Brimson so not sure I need him

Just crazy round where my early pre season iteration would have beat my team which was in the top 10...

I am holding. Hope he only misses 1 more game and i think the Rabbits will be roaring into the finals. Their run home is pretty balanced with some 50/50 and 70/30 games in there that Bennett will have the Bunnies up for. Solid hold at least 1 more week with other fires to put out (Tolman, JFH) would also like to give my kindest regards to Sivo. Served me well after i bagged him from his first couple weeks.

My trades so far are

Sivo > CS9
Tolman > Bateman
JFH > Watson
Dearden > Robson

37K remaining (Not particularly happy with this)

My mob is
Cook (c)
Fifi Haas
Taupau Murray Tolo
Cleary Watson
Bateman Xerri
Teddy CNK Ponga
McInnes Smith Martin NPR
Xerri Mann Robson Arey

Not a fan of my bench

Any ideas of someone/somewhere i could go different?

Can't be playing Staggs mate if you can help it. I don't trust Hutchinson's JS either but could play 16.

Before round 12 he was on a shortlist somewhere

R16, Season-end Guns or Cashouts only

My days of cows or interesting mid rangers long done
