    If i did want to trade him, his BE is pretty high so he will start bleeding cash soon.

    What if he takes 4+ weeks to come back?

    Also not sure where ST96 got 1-2 weeks from. Wests Tigers just said "minor hamstring issue" can't see anything with a time frame.

    NRLPhysio's opinion is usual return is 2-4 weeks (noting that NRLPhysio doesn't actually get to see the players, he just goes off what the clubs say and video analysis of the injury)

    Oh yeah it won’t happen. Have opted for Averillo so I can strengthen elsewhere.
    If I’m going cheap then it’s in the centres no matter how much Latrell/Best love is floating around.

    That's another reason Doueihi looks like a solid option.

    Doueihi going OK but is he worth a trade?

    Unlikely going to be top 3 WFB come season end, but looks like he'll be playable, so if you get him its to save money for elsewhere. So question becomes who you are trading out to get him, and what you do with money saved by going him over someone more expensive.

    For me, bringing him in would be a sideways trade of marginal benefit, but it might work out OK for some teams.

    Yeah but he’s at that price point where a good score can stall that and then remake it.
    Plus if you don’t trade him you don’t lose anything

    What's that Lemuelu fella like, is he a talent. I can play him in vsdt (started with a nuff at ctr) in my ctrs to allow me to buy McInnes. So my question is would you take the risk & play him hoping he jags a try or not. I only need him for 1 week. I saw his highlights & he's a big lump & fast so could get some tb's. Cheers.

    Can't be serious. Sutton was 512k. SL players don't get rookie prices

    They will estimate from Super League, the same as every other player that comes across. Typically under-estimate the forwards.

    P.s this lingering Leilua news is such a headache
    How bad has Drinkwater become when he is compared to Luai and Paix? I’ll say Drinkwater only because I traded him out this week. Fortunately I have none of these guys.

    TU:
    Lucy + Capewell = Macca + Mitchell

    TD:
    Capewell + Lucy = Tolo/DCE/Cleary/Cook + Hammer (this options means i have to play either Chricton or Hammer on the interchange)

    In his 6 games so far this year in Superleague, Luke Thompson was averaging around 44 points, no way he's going to be cheap.

    Also Tigers just let Thommo go, our wing stocks are shit -highlighted by Jennings return. Watch the Tigers sign a big winger within the next few weeks. Talau is a centre remember.

    ANDREW MCCULLOUGH THE 80 MINUTE MAN

    Andrew McCullough looks set to continue his 80 minute role, with ever knowledgable Knights reporter Barry Toohey indicating the coach will continue to use Macca in the same way as Brailey prior to his injury.

    I expect Watson to continue his roving lock role once he returns from injury. Macca is looking like a great pick up right now if you have avoided the chaos at centre.

    I brought in Macca last round before the sh*t hit the fan (well actually it was Horsey's sh*t issues that made me pick Macca)

    Maybe I’ll just get Macca this week and Robson next week.

    Although Koro, Macca, Robson, Grant seems overkill

    I was thinking he'd be more of a stop gap option in my halves as Paix is looking a little shaky. Just some security in that position for now. Yeah, it is just one of those trades for making a trade though but he's on par with Darinkwater for price and quality. In hindsight I traded Drinkwater in round 3 and he's now gone so Doueihi could be a similar situation.

    Looking at my team I think it is time to do something to my backs.. From HOK to HLF and even my CTR's are pretty solid. My bench is okay so I think this week I will focus on getting another Gun WFB... at the moment I am thinking of Ponga. Teddy is just too high and I think he will come down later on.

    Speaking of overkill, is getting both Macca and Pearce Knights overkill?
