Stimson
Katoa
Luai (I know he scores shite next to Cleary but got 33 against the premiers and up against the Dragons this week)

Like I said I'm keeping. BUT I'm a big fan of cutting duds quickly. Last year I kept Holland one week, Edwards two weeks and only held Burns for a couple of weeks while I put out other fires. One difference this year is a lack of stand out trade in targets compared to last year.

I’m using him to get Fifita who I stubbornly didn’t pick.
For anyone else I think I’d probably hold

StuDogg101 wrote:So is everyone trading in Katoa to play him in their 17? Stimson to Katoa is tempting for monetary reasons but I might just go Musgrove to Katoa and keep Stimson a week.

I kind of need to get Wiliame into the NPRs but using a trade on another centre after one round is nauseating. Will stick with him this week I think.

Cool. With Walters playing well, who do you expect to get the starting nod? Would expect the other to be on the bench. Gets more complicated when Brooks is back, then they need to drop one of Reynolds, Walters and Grant.

Hopefully Walters and Grant dont cancel each other out

Yep, would expect something like a 50/30 split. Both go hard out the whole time, good for the team, not so good for fantasy scores.

Swap looking to happen for round 3

Su'a or Stimson out for Katoa?

It makes enough cash for Lomax to Isaako.

With Rava back next week Lomax could move to centre for Wiliame is my concern.

I’d then have a back 5 of

Watkins Aubbo
Shiba Pap Drinkwater

Bench: Brailey Carrigan Katoa Walters
JTB Luai Rudolf Wiliame

Then have 75k spare.

"Momirovski is keen to return to the Tigers at the end of the current season and his management is holding out for a contract extension before agreeing to the swap."

That's pretty crazy, haha.

I like him, so having him back for next season after a stint with Bellamy etc. would be good.

Worst case, we just trade him back to Storm for another asset next year

I just wanted to touch on this point. While Stimson's timing was off, he was literally the only Bulldogs defender that chased the kick. While it takes away from the fantasy score that is something that goes in the coaches good books

With the signing of Joey Leilua, I dont know why theyd be terribly bothered about getting Momo back. Are they going to move Mbye on? Theyve got Talau coming through too. Why fuss over it.
