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.

Great... now I am back on the Macca train... But I really want to finish with one or two of McIness Smith and Cook so Koro, Grant, Macca, CM9/CS9/Cook seems overkill and then there is Robson putting his hand up as a cut price keeper.

Although Koro, Macca, Robson, Grant seems overkill

Nothing wrong with having 5 hookers but it just means the 18-21 have to be very specifically arranged positions/DPP to cover you.

Do you go for Toronto because they are kind of the New Zealand of America?

That's it.... I am getting Ponga. Just thinking about it, he will be SUPER pumped that he has now announced his new signing with the club and he will want to repay the club with a massive performance!

Atm I’m looking at

HOK - Koro
HOK - Grant
HOK - Robson
2RF/FRF Carrigan
HLF/WFB Drinkwater
3 Cheapies

Then I can just focus on the 1-13

Not sure if it’s been posted since but the Gutho ACL rumour is bullshit

How do you know?

Haha no but that's funny. Been a fan since high school

Why did Tanah Boyd play 48 off the bench last week? Were there some injuries in the Titans game?

If I bring in Clune I can bring in any player I want. If you had to pick one of CM9,Teddy or Ponga which way would you go? Bear in mind I already have Cook plus my back 3 is Papy Turbo and HTF if I flick Drinkwater

Bit stuck this week lads, have had a few really shit ones and need to get back on track quick.

Current squad is

Friend
Haas, Carrigan
Tolo, Matterson, Lucy
JMK, Mann
Crichton, Capewell
Pappy, Turbo, Drinkwater

Grant, Koro, Katoa, Paix
Kennedy, HTF, Luai, Fui

Have 19 trades and 347k ITB.

Thinking I'll just go capewell and Pappy to Teddy and Latrell. Would have preferred to dump drinkwater, but don't have the funds and need to bring in some guns. Can cash him and maybe Kennedy down next week.

Any thoughts would be great

I would grab CM9. If you had CM9 and Cook you would probably be the only one and having them both this early. Don't think CM9 comes down as much as Teddy/Ponga do. Papy Turbo and HTF can probably keep up with those two.

When Erin Clark came back on it was for a Fogarty HIA.

I'd guess the original plan was for a Clark/Boyd switch instead, so maybe an extra 10-15 minutes than planned.

I am thinking of taking the punt on Farnworth over Averillo. Apparently Staggs only a 3-4 week layoff instead of the original thought of 6-8 or something. Farnworth spending a month at centre and then hopefully ride a couple more price bumps on the wing or on the bench? Hell he might kill it and take over D.Boyd's spot hahahahahahahahaha.

Kind of goes with his 31 minutes performance in R3.

Surprised at the love for Averillo on here. Looked alright with ball in hand, but he was a hot mess on D. Sure it was against the roosters, but gave me some serious Coates from last year vibes.

Farnworth isn't a CTR is Fantasy, so not an alternative for 95% of the people considering Averillo

I am with you.. Also had a look, and without the LB and the 7 tackle busts his score looks like it would have fell around low 20's.

I’ll take that at 223k

Oh, I am more talking of a cheap cashout... I can go Clune but then I would only have 6K itb.... I like having a big bank!

Mind you the trade is for Luai so may as well go half for a half
