Getting Fifita means Ill be playing 2 cheapies in the 17 Walters and Katoa. Have opted to bench Mann this week

My no FRF cover option I don't have enough cash after all lol

Going back to KISS

But you did give me the idea of playing Mann at 18, rather than Stimson/Katoa, via Walters. I think I like that better

Looks like people are already jumping off the Levi train - is that because a) they think other guys will make more for the same price, b) they think he didn't look good, or c) both of the above?

I'm tossing up going Levi > Isaako, or Su'a > Watkins but could easily see either of them bouncing back....

i keep flipping a coin between trading in either Watkins or Shibasaki. Any insight to sway me lads?

How is Will Kennedy’s job security? After his solid game do you think he will keep his spot at least until Moylan is back and the wingers will be first to go for Dugan/Xerri?

Hmmm coin flip. Both looked ok. Watkins has a slight advantage having a lower BE. Can't really go wrong with either of them

personally I'd go Watkins. He looked good in a crap titans team last week. He does have good pedigree from before his ACL injury as well.

Shibasaki has DPP which might play into the decision as well though

I started with Shiba because thought would be cricket score against Warriors. Not sure he's screaming trade in target

Williams to Hors?

Upvote: No
Downvote: Yes

This has me leaning towards old mate KW. 40 in mostly base against the raiders vs 33 with 5 tbs against the warriors. Think i'm sold gents!

DPP isn't as much a concern for me as my other centre is Lomax.

What's everyone's thoughts about trading in Mann. Looked defensively sound and his attack looked solid in the shitty conditions. Although he won't be versing the Warriors every week. Hmmm.

Community team trades have been made

Watkins and Isaako in for Aekins and Lomax

Final poll for community team for the round

Pick an 18th man and Vice Captain

Have settled on Musgrove>Katoa and keeping Williams

Contemplating Stimson>Watkins

That would allow me to play at CTR instead of Shiba who would go to EMG. Other CTR is Aubbo. Wiliame would be 4th backup CTR and with Dufty back I think Wiliame could lose spot but become useful short term loop

For me he didnt get the role i wanted from him and wanted cash to bring in cleary who got the role i expected from him (and may no longer play origin)

Player I'm most afraid of not owning this week is Cleary. Could easily ton up against that Dragons side

Will see how he goes, but I'm not trading at the moment.

Will take a couple of weeks for him to get match fitness with only playing 30 mins in one trial.

Not terribly worried and I think he'll play 80 by round 3.

Good trades?

YES/thumbs up
NO/thumbs down

Su'A > Katoa
Musgrove > Guler

Bench would be: Levi Williams Katoa Walters / Guler 18th

Looking to make $$ in early rounds. Another option would be Levi to Hughes instead of Musgrove to Guler but that seems like a panic more than anything.

Edit: another option would be Musgrove > Watkins. Start Watkins in ctr next to Aubo and move Shiba to WFB for Kennedy who could be in for a rough game against Melbourne

I’m getting rid because I didn’t start the season with Fifita and I think that needs fixing right now

Really want to hold Stimson and Hess but if they stink it up again you’ve completely missed the boat on the likes of Katoa, Walters etc. I don’t think you can afford to miss them at this stage with money looking like a hard slog this year.

Yep. I think I'm set on trading both. Making coin this season look really though so missing those opportunities is going to hurt. I will punt on Walters. If Grant comes, he may even slot into the halves with Reynolds on the bench.

Yeah exactly. And just say Stimson/Hess manage 45-50 (which I don’t think is sustainable anyway) if katoa/Walters can manage 40ish it’s still a no brainer what you’d rather
