I certainly showed interest but last week's scored looks like a bit of rose amongst thorns, unfortunately. Would be risky.

I need to grab a WFB or half for my shit team, but man I want Fotuaika...

He just assists the assister. The argument I made last week for selling to get Teddy and didn't make the trade. Can't look at him in my squad

Hamstring injury for Talau

NRL Physio always mentions that even minor hamstring injuries are usually 2 weeks

That would likely mean Moylan doesn't play this week either

problem with hammies is they are often recurring problems (eg Braidon Burns last year)

Might have to go Latrell, which isn't really what I want, but he's got to be better than Averillo

JTrbo probably on the backburner too.

Anyone interested on Aitken at Ctr? Although he is on the out he is a good CTR. You know you're in for TB's and bulk metres cause he never passes. Decent tackler as well. 462K for someone who can average 40 in the spot. The way dragons are going he might just have that spot for the rest of the year until the new coach comes in next year.

Man, Talau really fucks me. Was looking at having 445k next week to spend but Ill probably have to go Mitchell now leaving me with 170K

Averillo and DWZ likely to swap positions anyways. Averillo doesn’t look the type to be making the tough hit ups out his own end.

Don’t trust his position in side but he’s always been a quality CTR option in fantasy

Croft really interests me. Just about bottomed out and is cheap as chips. Once the Broncos return (Dfifi, Glenn, TPJ, Turpin) along with Haas and Lodge to roll off and then Staggs back to full health I think Broncos are a way different team and Croft will relish that. He may be very cut price keeper soon

I don't get why people are forgetting who the other bulldogs winger is ahhahaha. Averillo will be safe for a while - he earnt his spot in there and pay seems to like him.

Main concern is JS and Dragons obvious form. He'll be there for another month at least with Wiliame out, who might come back and take his spot. But Wiliame is pretty shit anyway

But Aitken is a good scorer at centre and gets through decent work. BE of 40 so can wait a bit for him to drop but certainly one to look out for

Also the point he keeps getting subbed off and on near the end of the game

Don't even think it's HIA related

15 pages of forum trade plans out the window!

Pretty sold on going Capewell to Mitchell and Drinkwater to HTF. Puts my bank to 422k to bring in a gun half next week.

The question now becomes who should be in my 17. Do I run Paix, Fogarty or Luai at HLF and then who becomes 16 & 17 out of HTF, Rudolf, Brailey, other HLF's.

Leaning towards keeping Paix at HLF unless Luke comes into the 17 and then running HTF and Rudolf in the 17.

Maybe with Holmes out he'll become the assister? here's hoping and wishful thinking as I'm forced to hold him at least for another week

I can't stand to look at drinkwater's face in my team anymore. HTF at fullback should be a nice gap filler for the week.

Nikorima 30k more kicks goals and been standout player in 2 wins 74 and 64pts. Thought about him as POD after Dragons game but had other trades to make and didn't fancy the Penrith game

Drinkwater isn't the worst guy to have on the interchange. He's capable of 40, has a pretty secure spot and will still hold some cash for a future trade out.
