Katoa is the one to get.

Thanks legend. Didn’t get him initially when he was on the bench

Do we see him keeping his spot for long?

I had him then sold to JTB. If he keeps his form up he could get at least the next 4 games. When Tevaga returns SK has lost it if he moves A. Blair to the edge. wtf how does A. Blair still get picked or does it say more about the other options. I don't know but what I do know is A. Blair is useless.

At least 2 weeks, if the comp proceeds, as the Warriors have noone else

If the virus is still growing in number and Australia remains in some version of lockdown, will almost certainly be canned. What’s an origin without fans?!

Yes to getting Cleary earlier than planned

An origin without fans is enormous TV ratings. No way they cancel it unless they are forced to (which could very easily happen)

There was some talk today and yesterday from the NRL media that origin could be played after the grand final

I've been considering a sideways trade to get Cleary at the expense of Ponga

If Cleary is going to elevate alongside Luai it might be worth it but would mean running Wiliame in the WFB until I can upgrade him

Other trade would be Musgrove to Katoa/Guler and riding the price rises

Thoughts?

Current side

Koro
Carrigan, Knight
Taumalolo, Fifita, Leilua
JMK, Mann
Aubbs, Shiba
Ponga, Drinkwater, Papy

Friend
Stimson
Brailey
Walters

Wiliame, Luai, Rudolph, Musgrove

I'm sorry, do you have corona? Are you dying? Have you dropped a chromosome? If not, read your first line again, give yourself an uppercut and re-evaluate.

Watkins not WFB but easy swap Shiba to enable

Of course mate, I’m all over the place tbh another exhausting day working in a supermarket with abuse, even the security guard was copping it. Haven’t had as much spare time for fantasy this week.

Do those 2 trades look fine of Stimson to Katoa and Musgrove to Watkins pushing Wiliame to EMG?

Anything else I should be doing or considering?

Personally id keep Ponga and try to upgrade Friend to Cleary. If Friend not gonna play 80 then he not a keeper. Ponga is a keeper who potentially plays first bye if origin shifted and comp still going

This is what I was going to suggest if the $$ work.

Ah, there's the perfectly healthy and functioning Welshy. Good man. Had me worried for a bit.

Plus it severely weakens my WFB so that’s out

Cheers boys

Will look at moving Friend on for Cleary, really want to keep JMK as there money to be made there and I’m expecting 48 average longer term

Katoa has the second row spot for good - It's his to lose. Curran, Paasi, Tevaga Blair and Papalii are all middle players. We've been short a second rower for a couple years, never made sense to me why we didn't recruit there. With Katoa being injured most of last year, and starting in his second match, I think we know why now. Katoa has been spoken about for a while now FYI..

He's a dynamic player. I'm just worried about his D holding up in NRL, with him being so fresh to the game. Straight into my Fantasy team for sure. As a Warriors fan he's one of a few things I'm actually looking forward to this season!

Stimson to Katoa upvote

Stimson to Guler downvote

Cheers lads

Thoughts on which combo is better? I'm getting Hughes in for Tuala and the options below would fund that trade

TU: Knight-> Katoa

TD: Friend -> Guler

I have 45k spare.

How does going Stimson to Katoa freeing up enough cash to go Musgrove to Watkins sound? Or is there something else I should do?

Gives me this below:

Koro
Haas Knight
Luciano Fifita Williams
Moses Cleary
Aubbo Shiba
Watkins Pap Drinkwater

B. Brailey Carrigan Katoa Walters
JTB Luai Wiliame Rudolf

Any trade to get Williame out of your 17 is a good trade IMO, he's fine sitting in NPR's until a better replacement comes along. Watkins seems like the safest bet in CTRWFB at that price range.
