And just confirming for Welshy that you still need to have 2 halves in your squad, even if they don't play.

AEs can come from any position.

Should all be fixed up now mate, this origin talk got me rethinking the Lockyer and Morrison trade ina now ha! Lockyer should be nailed on and sure Morrison had a few caps for NSW

Will have a think about the schedule, but with NRL looking more likely to start on 28 May I'll try and get things finishedin time.

So will probably have do 5 NRL rounds a week for the next 3 weeks, and then do the final 2 rounds in the week of May 28 lead up to the actual comp starting

Will work out best way to work trades around that schedule, whether we get 2 lots or 3 lots of trades in a week and what days we have rounds on

I don't think Morrison ever played for NSW - if he did, it wasn't much. BK, Simpson, Hindy, Waterhouse should be ahead of him.

Teams are definitely more Origin heavy in 2006 than they will be for 2020 fantasy, but I think trades are more generous.

Back row was stacked for NSW around this time, Morrison was well down the list I wouldn't worry about selection

This weeks trades:

OUT - Lillyman and Simmonds

Finally Lillyman is out after spending as much time in my squad injured as active. Simmonds - yeah, its clearly not the year I was hoping for where he scores loads of tries, currently short-term injured, and while he can still beat his BE he can also score single digits.

IN - Cameron Smith (soz to Hindy for the late snub) & Brett Kearney

Smith is Smith.

Kearney seems a bit risky - may only have 2-3 weeks job security - but BE hard to ignore. Also I'm trying to avoid using the AE loophole too much (I dunno why, just feel weird about it) so wanted a 2RF.

Maybe too late for Menzies and Fitzgibbon and too early for Watmough, but they could all be in the mix too. Luke O'Donnell. Paul Gallen. I'd be forgetting a few too. Embarrassment of riches just before it turns to Qld dominance.

Yeah, just round 7.

Hi Milchow - thought I had until 4 to submit but just saw it was 3. Will try to send through asap. Thanks

I think lots of people are using his price to get another gun in and then will get John's back next week.

It's something I had considered but wouldn't have enough free cash to fuel this.

Doesn't work so well in normal fantasy since it's burns a trade. Here may as well use all the trades every round if there's no better move.

That Johns strategy works fine until you have three more injuries to contend with next week

Yeah I thought about it with Tongue on the bye, but seems way too risky.

Johns could be a POD soon !

All good, as long as you get trades in before I start publishing results I will accept it.

Speaking of which, might have a look at getting started now

Exactly. And he's only out the one round.
