Traded him in too that week mate.  Couldn't reverse cause the player had played plus I used funds to get Teddy in and had him locked out as captain.  He also didn't play that week hahaha.

I still have him though and perhaps will just keep him now unless he can get some worthwhile cash rises and the money becomes useful.

Yeah I remember that mate. You had even worse luck than me that week.
Definitely might as well hold Lomax now as cover. I have Garrick doing a similar cover role he got saved so many times from being traded and got to the point where I just decided to keep him. Times I have had to use Garrick he has gone big so he has been a very handy back up as it turns out.

Fifita suspension covered by Munster for my team so all good there

Means Burns gets another start (but not worried about that because should rack up points v Dragons)

If he takes the early plea it will be 180 pts meaning 80 carried forward

Edit: sharks website confirms Fifita has taken early plea

Thanks champ.

Yeah mate no need to get rid of Garrick. He can stay all year. I think booted him round 2 or 3 after starting him. That was a mistake.

Mitch Kenny played more minutes. Was there an injury?

Staggs will be good to use in the loop again this week. Might be in for some pies again and plenty of goals this week playing the Titans.

Jeez I have 4 trades but cashing out Brittain and upgrading CNK to Munster/DCE is mighty tempting.

I'm playing Mann or Carrigan to cover Fifita this week, so it could be worse for a lot of you.

Flegler is suspended which helps carrigan a little.

Gillett should be back tho

Local derby, Titans all over Broncos.

Yeah no guarantee as Titans did knock them off not long ago

Carrigan did randomly get a 50+ in 37 minutes 2 weeks ago. Hope he's got another score in him like that for this week.

Same amount of trades left. Whilst he's been awesome for me, very tempted to trade To'o for Munster/DCE

If I could do it in 1 trade I would mate. For me it's the second trade that's putting me off.

Same again for this week guys? Fifi being out means playing Burns but that isn’t of much concern. I see the leader in the Eels league is now equal 2nd dammit,looks like I’ll be just trying to hold onto silver.

Cook
Taupau Haas
Murray Matterson Taumalolo
SJ Moses
Nikora Bateman
Tedesco Ponga RTS

Smith
McInnes
Mahoney
Burns

To’o
Fifita
Carrigan
Walters

Yeah Fifita on the bench Munster back in the pack. Keeping the C in on Haas this week (or maybe Teddy against the Doggies if I feel gutsy) Need another 30k increase from Fainu to upgrade to Cook.

Is Dearden back this week?

Also, I'm a bit concerned about SST. Didn't he hurt his knee last game? I'll be playing him in my 13-17 so I don't get caught out if he's a late out.

Fifi being out a week means I have 2 main options, thoughts?

A: Sell Fainu 2 weeks early and get Josh Papalii in as a POD, I like him because he has more upside than Twal, and is dual FRF/2RF which gives me much-needed cover since I have 3 trades left and need to be able to cover 1 week injuries. I do plan to sell Fainu anyway, so this doesn't cost any trades I wasn't planning on using anyway. I'm 4k short of Klemmer and 14k short of JFH, otherwise I'd go one of them instead, but Papalii is a good POD too.

B: Hold the trade and cop 16 players this week, then sell Fainu in 2 weeks time to someone else

My team before trades:

Cook
Fifi, Haas
Lolo, Jurbo, Murray
SJ, Munster
Latrell, Bateman
Wighton, Teddy, Ponga

CS9, McInnes, Tevaga, Fainu

Burns, To'o, DBrown, Walters

Is Dearden back this week?

Before last weeks game Siebold said Dearden would be a chance this week but it definitely wasn't a definite. I have him too so hoping he can get a run soon in the starting 13. I wouldn't play him in my 13 but he could be a viable loop option as my bench is pretty weak re my 16th & 17th men & I've been using Watson, CNK, Xerri & Whitbread there so having another option in Dearden would be good.
