Good run of 80 min games until end of season. Coach wants 80 min hooker. Macca can play 80 mins

If I get either, I think it means not getting at least one McInnes or Cook, if not both. Team would be too unbalanced, but is probably realistic in a short season anyway.

I won’t be able to afford both Cookie and McInnes mate I’ll struggle to get one of them in let alone 2.

I like Macca the better of the 2. I think Robson only saw 80mins this week as I think the Cows had an injury or 2 in the game which meant Cottee came on in a loose forward role. I see Robson playing 60-65mins consistently though for a high 40’s average.

If Capewell is just gonna be out for 4 weeks I reckon I’d hold him. I could just go Magoulias to Talau and Wiliame to Fogarty and then hold Capewell.

Then again Lucy it’s so tempting to punt him for Macca as Macca will average 60 and Lucy is probs gonna stay averaging about 50. Just means I’d have to run with no second row back up coverage for a couple of weeks!

Macca is like 350k cheaper than McInnes and 250k cheaper than Cookie as well.

O’Brien wants an 80min hooker as well. Even if they did give Macca an early 10mins shower he’s still gonna score early to mid 50’s which is good enough.

Nek minnut, Magoulias is named........

In the next 2-3 weeks Nathan Brown is one who could be a good one to bring in, should average around 50 which is good enough for your 14-17

I have to prioritise gun WFB & HLF before I look at HOKs, as if I go for McInnes/Macca etc I would have to leave one of Katoa/JTB in EMG whereas WFB & HLF fills hole in my team

Bit annoying as their price will keep rising by time I can fit them in

Please don’t 

My head is spinning with options already and it’s only Monday.

Like you said the other night though with the carnage it’s been so far you will probs run out of trades, I’m in the same boat hence I’m very tempted to hold Capewell.

If Magoulias is named that’d be good, he can be my 18th man actually. Punt Lucy to Macca who will average around 8-10 points higher and then go Wiliame to Talau holding Capewell. Then if Crichton is dropped or Talau gets injured fuck it I’ll play with 16. I reckon all of us at some point will be playing with 16, it already happened to me once thanks to Shitbasaki and no doubt it’ll happen again.

Magoulias isn't injured though is he? Never know, could make a return, especially since we just lost to Dragons. BE is 15.

4 weeks is normally an insta-trade and with the season shortened, I'd think even more so.

Might aswell put Capewell's $ to use and bring him back if you don't find 2 serviceable CTRs in the meantime.

What’s your side look like now and how’s the rank?

No way I'm holding him for 4 weeks.

Heaps of talk about Macca, I know Brailey was going to play 80 minutes but has O'Brien specifically said he wants Macca playing 80?

Yeah I should probs hold Magoulias and piss off Wiliame to Talau. 

I honestly dunno what happened to Magoulias he wasn’t even in the 21 last week, is he injured or just out of favour?

If Capewell was to go it’d be to Hopoate I’d say.

Reason I’m tempted to hold Capewell is I only have 16 trades left.

What will you do with him? You’ve got 19 trades left though right, fuck I only have 16 left and if I keep trading a centre out and another gets injured next week which is what’s been happening I’ll be out of trades

This season I am looking for 60s from my 14-17

I’m jealous @Wolfie you just bought in McInnes

I want 70's from mine.

Just above 300 at the moment, but will probably drop to where I started this week at around 420 but got 400k+ to upgrade next week

My forward pack is stacked but my backs are letting me down:

Koroisau
Haas Twal
Lolo Yeo Leilua
Moses Paix
Capewell Crichton
Turbo Papenhuyzen Drinkwater

Carrigan Grant JTB Katoa
Luai Fogarty Rudolf Wiliame

Will be doing Drinkwater to Teddy & Capewell to Talau which may be enough to do Luai to gun HLF in 1 trade following week (but no doubt another trade will be forced)

I knew you were right up there again, you’re just too good!

Shit that’s a good side.

You could always go Capewell to Talau freeing up another 270k and then go Luai to a gun half. You’d have plenty spare the week after too.

Luai's making money, Drinkwater isn't. If they're the two options, you keep Luai another week.

I think Luai will be benched this week.
