Yeah mate.

I should probably use 2 of my last 4 trades to get Tedesco in eh?

Absolutely!

Heard last week Koro was back training but still a few weeks away, anyone confirm this?

Hopefully another 2 games of Fainu killing it!

Better to drop officials than admit stickybeak orders on the slightest touch for a knock-on or badly thought-out new rules for stripping that will inevitably involve grey areas and refs getting things wrong in live play that you can see in slow motion is dumb work by yourself, Annesley. And the clearest mistake - the so-called forward pass that settled the game - you don't think was a mistake at all, lol.

Here's the clue, if half thought it was forward and half think it wasn't, then it's play on. I'm with Trent Robinson... forward passes should be clear. So should knock-ons, not infintesimal bobbles in contact. We should be encouraging open rugby, not making our players cling on to the ball like a suitcase full of diamonds for fear of having the ball stripped after a couple of tacklers peel off. The refs are being encouraged by the rules to be over-officious and make more decisions. It's inevitable that the more decisions there are then the more they'll get wrong, and that's down to the guy presenting the video, not the poor saps on it.

Personally don't like playing rookies at this stage of the season so 2 or 3 for me.

Would be looking to double trade Xerri next week but that would leave me with 1 trade for the run home

You could afford Martin + Brittain to 658k + 212k. On my phone so I can't see all options but N Brown is at 628k and is good 17th man

Brittain to a 212 gives you 658k to upgrade Martin, so Nathan Brown plus a bit of change if you want a 20th man who's playing rather than a red dot. Connor Watson (ifvhe snags hooker) or Jack Wighton also possibilities and give you better HLF/WFB cover, but I'd probably prefer Brown. Gives you a strong 17, decent 18 and 19, and two trades should be plenty for the last 5 rounds given that cover.

Ha! Hadn't read your post when I wrote mine, but we're along the same lines.

I dont see them winning with Levi Mann and Watson playing 2 positions... Lino looks much better at 6 and if he plays Pearce from memory scores lower... So can trade him to Peats without feeling wet socks

Barry Toohey reporting that Levi, Ramien, Ese Ese, and Buhrer dropped.

Sounds like watson hooker, Lino six

That's pretty harsh

Kinda tempted to go SST/Brooks > Watson/Peats now

Brown's lost the plot. Might captain DCE, Manly are going to smash them.

I like the Watson trade but I don’t think Peats will keep this scoring up.

Peats is bloody cheap but what do we think of Robbie Farachk?

He has proven to be a 60+ player when playing 80 mins.

Pearce+ Tevaga -> Fifi + Farah (1k ITB)

Or Pearce+ Tevaga -> Peats Farah with 186 itb....

Would Garrick turn into Fifi next week? Fifi b/e 81 and Garricks is 8 Garrick is 469 and Fifi is dropping from 695
