His base stats in rounds 1 and 2 were on par with his career best years at 2rf. 30 tackles and 90 odd metres is his standard.

Round 1 he missed 7 tackles though.

You buy Hess because you think he can get back to scoring tries. I'd be holding him.

Especially if he's training the house down.

15 days til we’re back

I’m pretty excited

Bateman aiming to return R3-4

I will be really interested to see the detailed draw when it comes out, will hopefully look at looping and doing trades through the weekend, as I see who scores well / doesn't score well and if I need to trade in certain positions or not this round, if the draw is favourable to be able to do it.

BREAKING: ARLC have opted to switch to a single referee for the rest of the #NRL season. The six-again rule will also be introduced. No full-time ref will lose their jobs in 2020.

No, Matt is right, Williams was dogshit and was hooked for Mago to get more minutes.  Pretty sure Williams only came back on for a concussion or injury to someone else.  I also think Mago would have started in round 3, he was immense off the bench, definitely what the Sharks need.

Which Mago is this? Patrick Mago is with Souths this year and did his pec in the CS!

Is it Rudolf you mean?

If the Raiders 3 players won’t have the jab I assume the NRL will do all they can with the draw to make sure Canberra don’t have to go up there I reckon.

I’m trying to not play around with trade options until the TLT as there will probs be a few curveballs......

I didn’t want to have to worry about trading a centre out so soon but Watkins has to go. The first option that comes to mind is hoping Bradman Best gets a centre spot, not that I’m confident he’d go too well but just as he’s cheap. If Best doesn’t get a centre spot then no idea what I’ll do.

Do we still see Aubbo getting 70-80mins as well?

Magoulias

Speaking of Rudolf apparently hes signed with warriors from 2021.

What are the Friend owners doing with him? not sure if i should trade or not

Thats great news for Warriors, having some young talent coming through in the forwards with him and Katoa. This article says they have just signed Ben Murdoch Masila too and have a number of players unsigned for next year currently. I hope Blair is one of the players off contract. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/warriors/121491811/nrl-warriors-sign-highly-rated-sharks-prop-toby-rudolf-from-2021

If Verrils is named on the bench in round 3 I would trade Friend.

I'd say most have more pressing issues than trading out a fit guy averaging 46

Wait holy shit did I just read this right, Rapana is contracted to the raiders for 2020???
If he's playing in round 3 my level of excitement just went from an 11 out of 10 to a 100!!

Yes, should play round 3.

Unfortunately for warriors fans... Blair has a player option for 2021

This is my biggest question mark in my team besides some obvious sells (Watkins, Walters, Fifita)

Torn between holding cash ITB to do Friend to Cleary in 1 trade when suspension ends or make move now of Friend to TTurbo to get Wiliame out of 17 and hopefully be able to afford 2 mid-rangers to Cleary + cash out in R5 (Su'A and Mann out)

Leaning towards first option given limited trades as it allows me to hold several trades (probably only use 3 out of 8 given)

Am looking to move Friend on too. IF Kennedy gets another round....

OUT: Stimson, Knight, Friend and Musgrove
IN: Grant, Twal, Magoulias, (617k WFB/CTR currently Cotric)

Means holding Cleary and DFififta too

Morning team. What’s the low down on Best? Does he take Tualas spot?. Is he worth a shot as CTR/WFB cover?
