Randall and Connor back soon. He's a bit too expensive. Great game last week though. Quality service too

Is Randall injured?

Papenhuyzen, Drinkwater, Kennedy

Horsburgh, EKatoa, Grant, Williame (loop)

Cash? You need WFB.

Who is the best option to bring in for Brailey out of Macca, Robson or Horse.

@Mulvy as well what do you reckon?

Anyone know why Randall wasn’t in the 21 this week, is he injured or just dropped?

What is Lucy doing at 21? He's averaged 47 last 2 weeks with no tries

I've played him the whole time just the way I've set my team up he's the first to be traded this week as I need a gun half or fullback.

I'd really like a punt on Robson, but I'm stuck fixing centre this week. Shouldn't get too out of reach with a BE of 28. Get to see how the bench works too. The other two seem decent shouts, I think you'd be wanting a keeper and I think Horse and Robson more likely to be a keeper. Macca might be if he's used like Brailey, but some risk there with eventually Watson back.

Are people keeping tolo if he’s out for one more week? I think I have to. Took the risk last week that he could be out for 2 weeks so just have to suck it up

Trade Options:

1) Mann + LLeilua to Munster and Best + $6K

2) LLeilua + Kennedy to Paix and Ponga + $2K

3) LLeilua + Kennedy to Clune and Ponga + $9K

4) Mann + LLeilua to Paix and Ponga + $150K

Just not sure I like the job security of Paix/Clune.

Any more news regarding Luai being injured? Or was that just SMH just making up nonsense?

How many minutes does Cotter take off Robson, would you say 15?

Any chance in coming weeks Greem goes with 4 forwards and Robson gets 80?

Robson should be season keeper on bench, if you get lucky he starts playing 80 mins and guns it

As I said to Mulvy my concern is Cotter keeps taking 15-20mins off him!

Difficulty is balancing the three thoughts of, will he be back next week, will he at full fitness and I've held him for one week already am i committed to holding.

I traded him last week (Lets not talk about who it was I'm still raging). My 2rfs are currently Carrigan, Horse, Lucy, Tapine, JTB, Katoa Obviously there are no guns in that mix. So im hoping Too remains out/light duties for at least another week or two whilst these guys make money and i can buy him back.

I think he only worth selling if you have other players making money, and you are doing it to bring in a keeper.

Whats the rush to dump Lucy? or is he just a cow that is convenient to milk now?

I don’t think his minutes matters, I think he’ll average 50ish in 60 mins and can only go up from there. Will absolutely carve under these new rules in the same way other dynamic hookers are getting a bump.

If you’re going down the cut price keeper path, I definitely like Robson best of the three options you’ve named

I don't get it. He wants gun half or fullback even though Lucy 51.3 average would make him 5th highest WFB average

I agree with this, although if I get an early start on Fri arvo I’ll probably panic sell him haha.

Would be nice to get some certainty, even if it’s he’s out this week but 100% to play R6

As others have said I think he's keeper material even with a bench hooker. If he starts getting 80 even better. I'll take a stab at, Cotter gets 15 minutes.

Brailey is for sure out.  My question is whether or not to sell Friend and get any of the guns or sell someone like Kennedy to either a mid ranger or cow, banking cash for next week.

Holding for now. They won’t be beating teams 59-0 every week, can’t expect too much from a hooker in a game like that
