I'm guessing Walters wouldn't be coming in if they did rest Munster? They'd probably move Hughes into half and papy to Fullback?

You'd think if that was the plan they would've done it over Origin. Bellamy loves Papy as the super sub to come in for 20 minutes and try and create a spark.

Would of thought Walters to 6 is more likely given thats what they did in round 16.

Come oooonnnn the CNK Update 

Went to bed last night thinking yess I got him by 1 then when I looked this morning To’o lost 3 points and CNK 2 so we drew 1081 to 1081 haha good game mate,my first ever draw

If you have 1 trade left when do you think would be a safe enough time to do a sideways/upgrade trade for the run home? R22 and try and get 4 games out of someone?

Most of the greatest players in any sport are the same. Ever read about what Michael Jordan was/is like as a person?

Is there some issue with Cook? Or just Daily Tele clickbait?

Definite clickbait this is what it says

Coach Wayne Bennett is yet to rest his Origin players Damien Cook, Dane Gagai and Cameron Murray despite declaring he would — this could be the week

Bennett said he will give Cook a couple of days off training to start the week. 100% clickbait.

dont see why Murray would need a rest like the other two

I keep feeling like I am making the wrong choice of Arey over DCE, but the whole not goal kicking thing just scares me off those extra 4-6 points per game. Rabbits draw for the rest of the year is pretty good with the Dragons, Sharks, Bulldogs, Broncos and Warriors in their run home.

Knight gets a two week suspension with an early guilty plea, Murray able to play this week with early plea.

Wonder if Storm choose to rest some Origin players this week with the Titan in all sorts of off-field dramas and Storm 6 clear.

I don't see how SJ's injury can be syndesmosis when he played the game out. If it was that bad he wouldn't have been able to continue surely so 4-6 weeks seems way over the top. Sometimes players wear a moonboot just for precautionary reasons and play the following week.

Guess we'll find out today/tomorrow.

So much of what the DT post is absolute garbage. Two weeks ago they said Milford could be out for 12 weeks lmao.

This is my team before trades (assuming Johnson is out)
6 trades, 164k

Smith
Haas, Fifita
Murray, Taumalolo, Matterson
Brooks, Watson
Nikora, Bateman
RTS, Ponga, Tedesco

McInnes
Tevaga
Twal
SST

Staggs
Coates
Verrills
Johnson

I can do Watson > Cook this week, but if SJ is out I will have to play Coates

Cook
Haas, Fifita
Murray, Taumalolo, Matterson
Brooks, Ponga
Nikora, Bateman
RTS, Coates, Tedesco

Smith
McInnes
Tevaga
Twal

SST
Staggs 
Verrills
Johnson

So in short:
I can hold trades and run with Watson + SST until Johnson is back
Or I can sell Watson and run with Cook + Coates until Johnson is back

Any advice would be much appreciated

Watson made a tidy $137k from when I brought him in. Cook lost $110k in the same period. This makes the Watson to Cook trade pretty sweet this week

I'm wondering if Coates even keeps his spot in the team. Oates back but Isaako wasn't great again, yet Coates had some poor reads, but that's just the inexperience. All his points came from tackles cause Warriors were targeting him. I wouldn't want to play him again if I could help it mate.

I think you'd want Cook though. I'd wait for SJ news first mate, along with Watson. If Watson is benched and SJ is out, then you would need to rethink your trades. If SJ plays I'd get Cook ASAP.

Thanks mate

Coates was bad defensively but he was also defending with Pangai (played middle all season), Turpin (a hooker), and Isaako (horribly out of form). The whole edge was bad as a defensive unit.

Anyway, I wouldn't play him again either.

As much as I don't like it, Broncos need to consider Dave Fifita there, at least temporarily, but again, he's just another player defending out of his usual position then.

Why doesn't dfifita start, i swear his engine is better than 30 or even 40 minutes.
