If you are looking at Manu, might as well go Shiba or Watkins for a lot less.

Thought about both as they are more value for money than Manu but i think Manu will score about 5 more on average. Im looking at Staggs too though who is probably a 'safer' pick than Manu. I could go Aubusson too actually. Suddenly the decision is not so easy

Go Aubbs mate.

Gone to Aubusson. I wanted someone a bit more unique but Aubo is cheaper than i thought and seems more of a sure thing. I like my PODs but shouldnt get them just for the sake of it.

I think Milchy means that Grant wont have even had a chance to train with the team.

Tigers won last week and Walters went OK so i reckon theyd delay Grant for a week even if the deal goes through later in the week

Yeah walters looks a top little player. Few nerves and couple errors but safe in the tackle and tidy enough out of dummy half. Really don’t care much for this Harry Grant situation. The kid has played how many minutes of first grade footy?

Tipping it’s close to zero as I don’t remember him ever taking the field. Feel for Walters a bit seeing all these headlines but will put feelings aside if Grant ever laces up in a Tigers 9 jersey... but until then, expecting not to see him this year, and not losing sleep over that!

Thanks. For some reason I thought Aubbs was close to 600k but he is only 15k more than Manu so he is the best pick.

Worth going Lomax to Watkins for the cash grab? I don't have the bank to upgrade anyone this week, and I'm willing to give Williams, Carty and JMK another chance, so the cash in the bank would be useful next round.

Lol Dragons. Lomax their best fullback option all off-season, one week later he’s moved to cover an injury to a less important position where they have other options. Good thing I don’t have.

Bring back the Steelers, they were at least a likeable basket case.

Definitely going Ese’ese to Flegler this week. Then not sure whether to try and correct omission of D Fifita with something a bit sideways, or just get someone like Guler/Katoa for the cash.

Looks like the corona virus has made its way into failhub HQ.

Trying to confirm trades on the app and throwing me out

I was looking at grabbing Cleary or Haas but happy enough to stick with my original process

Going for early season cash

Musgrove - Katoa
Wiliame - Guler

If the app allows me to do so.....

What do we reckon guys?

Thumbs up: Williams to Hors
Thumbs down: Musgrove to Katoa

Or should I do both?

Can I play devil's advocate here?

Guler. He's still a bench forward right? Averages 24 off the bench right? Negative BE sure, but normal bench forward scores don't make him a lot of cash. What are we expecting going forward? Sutton lurking, Bateman at some stage too. Smells trappy?

Seems a bit early to be dumping any of those mate. All pretty much scored their floor except Carty who hit a 41 lol

Failhub seems to struggle with the double trade. Doing it one at the time seems to work better

There’s a point where better players burst through and force out the usual. Played 10 mins more than Lui on weekend and looked fantastic and has had huge wraps on him. Raiders only carrying a 20 minute lock/hooker cover in Hav, back cover in Oldfield and an ageing Solly. Reckon Guler is good for the long run

Buying Katoa or any Warrior is nuts. Have zero faith in Fanhub providing a solution when NZ drop out, you're buying a 30/40k price jump then a red dot.

Did Eliesa Katoa play all 52 mins on an edge?

Impressive stats, I didn't watch him closely though.

Yep he did. Came on for Ah Mau I think and Blair moved into the middle. Warriors kept shifting the ball left - seemed to get his hands on the ball much more than Tohu...

They have to provide a solution either a free trade or something. I understand they are functionally retarded but something has to happen. This will be last weekend regardless even if it does go ahead.

Those couple of losers, Levi/Stimson, have one week to redeem themselves or chop.

Seems like it could hurt if Watkins tanks this week and Lomax actually goes well, but I don't mind the idea.

I'm doing the same with Aekins to Kennedy, so I guess I can't be too critical of it because at least your players have good job security.

Aekins - Guler
Happy with just the one trade. Will give Stimson/Levi/Knight another week.
Will give Katoa a week to see what happens with the whole Warriors scenario. If it's confirmed they will be staying in Australia. Will do Rudolf - Katoa.
