Against all better judgement I've decided I'm bringing in Latrell Mitchell this week, and with HTF starting at FB I realised I don't need to bring in a CTR, even if it leaves me with no cover.

I liked the idea of Fogarty but he seems wrecked now. With Thompson straight into FB, as soon as Tyrone Roberts is fit (whenever that is) he just pushes Fogarty straight out, doesn't he?

Mate I’m not sure what to do but I’m honestly now leaning towards going with Hammer as well as I need WFB cover. I was ideally hoping for centre cover to but that’s just not gonna happen now.

I have both Magoulias and Wiliame sitting there doing nothing as well so need to generate some more cash. I was thinking of bringing Fogarty in for one of them but I also have concerns over his JS.

I also then have the issue with Capewell.

Is Lucy named?

Yep, make sure you got cover though in case he drops out closer to gameday

Capewell - Best/Latrell.
Williame - HTF

Correct re Wiliame to HTF there isn’t any other choice. HTF seems to have good job security too so I think nearly all the top sides will bring him in.

Yeah then I guess it’s out of Best, Latrell and Hopoate.

Anyone looking at Will Hopoate around 150k cheaper than his starting price I believe.

Ignore the fact he averages 14.8

Haha, would you believe I seriously considered him last week? Justin O'Neill fits that category of player also.

Pleased to see Kennedy in though, may actually save a trade this week and do Talau next week if he is back.

I honestly believe that using Kennedy to get Capewell in last week will haunt me to the very last second of Fantasy in 2020.

I was just thinking about Talau's injury too. Anyone know any details? I could just trade Capewell out for Mitchell this week and hold Wiliame for a week if Talau is back next week. But anyone know if it's a short term injury, and also, does he go back into the starting side when fixed?

Boo James Roberts lingering

Now I have lomax and Crichton

You have more centres than some people.

Any interest in SMat as a centre option?

Easy trades for me this week

Capewell --> Latrell leaving me with Best and Latrell as set and forget for the year
Hoppo --> Hammer

121k ITB with the intention of hopefully bringing in a gun half for drinkwater next week.

For me it's either out of Latrell or Best. Hopo is solid player but plays for the Doggies. Meaning he doesn't have attacking potential or output is far less then players like Best or Latrell.

I liked the idea of Hopoate but when I looked back over his scores as starting fullback I wasn't overly sold. Just not sure he'll be a better investment than Latrell. I'd love to save the money, but I feel like there's far more upside with Latrell for that extra $$.

Hamstring injury for Talau

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

Why is everyone stressing about Averillo? Have you seen their other winger... Christan Crichton. You'd think he's the one that drops out for Meaney

Because Murphy's Law applies to CTRs

Everything that can go wrong with CTRs will go wrong with CTRs

(But yes I believe C Crichton is arguably worst winger in the comp)

Hamstring apparently, must be an ongoing issue, was strapped going into the game at the weekend

Thinking of holding drinkwater. I think its actually lod among top teams... Also save a trade

Unlike everyone else here I decided to trade in LM last week and still have Lomax, so my issue now is getting the best scoring player under $657k or just trading in two cows and banking the cash? Thoughts?

I started with Lomax and Maubbs with Wiliame in emg. Sold Mauubs to Capewell. Picked up S.Crichton along the way. Stupidly skipped out on Best and went Crichton. Now I have lomax and Crichton

I have Fui and TBA, TBA will probably be Hoppa because I feel Mitchell is chasing points a bit wherea Hoppa has close to bottomed out. I don't think there is any value in any other players.

My fault for starting with no cover... Aubs -> Capewell -> TBA, and Wiliame -> Fui have been my starting pair.

I have to hold him out of necessity of fixing all my fucking red dots haha
