Look he is scathing by and at times a passenger in out attack. I think he is struggling to find his groove with how fast the game is going and he has admitted that. I reckon he will post a big score (70) in the next two weeks.

I’m a bit jealous won’t lie lol. At least I have Teddy and Ponga though.

I would like Cookie in at some point.

Thinking Paix in the halves and Drinkwater on the bench covering HLF/WFB.

Anyone reckon Fogarty outscores Paix up against the Dragons? Luai against the Storm probably a no-go with Burton lurking. Surely Drinkwater is due.

Paix will almost certainly lose minutes to Luke so is a gamble.

Luai will also probably do the same as last week and get subbed off for Burton, possibly even earlier if their winning.

Of the rest I would play Fogarty and HTF. Pretty close between those 3 but I would back the players who look more likely to get points.

If they are beating the Storm than Luai is probably playing out of his skin and he stays on.

The last are all centre eligible. No point putting them at WFB when there's no better options at centre.

Pap to Turbo still looks sideways. Less so now given a few more weeks but I think most people would have bigger problems in their team than a player averaging a consistent 40.

If you're turning Pap into Teddy or Ponga then that's a different question and worth consideration.

He'll probably go soon, but at the moment i've had to spend too many trades replacing injured centres so he's stuck around.

Personally I am also a little reluctant to trade out a fit scorer, even if he is a bit down on expectations

Ops your correct. For some reason thought they were playing a weak team again. Should change it to "if Penrith are losing then he's more likely to get subbed off earlier to try something"

How is your team looking at the moment?

I feel like that's better for Latrell

Pearce is popular on here. I'd like to see another week of scores and see what SJ gets for a little over 100k more

pre trades. only $1k in the bank

Koro
Haas Mofo
Katoa Carrigan Leilua
Cleary Mann
Capewell Crichton
Teddy Ponga Trbo

Friend Grant JTB Papenhuyzen
Drinkwater Luai Fogarty HTW

Did have plans for JTrbo this week, but Capewell out means either I get Averillo for him or abandon that plan

So Capewell+Drinkwater for Latrell+RFM is my plan

Averillo is too much of a risk - if he doesn't score well I am stuffed, so the extra cahs he provides not something I am overly interested in.
Will probably hold and get Tommy Talau in when he returns as a cashout/CTR cover for the run home.

Looking for Pearce in soon, and JTrbo still if I can get him whilst his price is relatively low.
Papy, Mann, Luai on the outer

how many trades has everyone got left after making trades this round?

Upvote: 17 or fewer

In games he has played more than 5 minutes in this season

38, 75, 58, 55

Historically easily capable of a 50 point average

SJ not significantly more tempting, especially at $100k more

DCE/Cleary/Moses probably better but you have to pay for them

what is everyone's expectation with Sione Matautia? and does Barnett come straight back to starting or does he play middle.

Going Matautia allows me to get Macca for Wiliame. or I can get latrell and robson. or trade luai instead of wiliame and get Macca latrell

Surprising haven't change my trades since lockout lifted. Drinkwater>Clune and Capewell>Moses. Already have Ponga and Teddy so dodged a bullet there. Also with leilua playing this weekend have a full strength side. Moses partnering Cleary fixes the problem of worrying about Paix' minutes. Really interested in Mitchell and McCullough, but just don't think its the right options for my team balance. Still have 209k in the bank for next week so hopefully Mitchell doesn't score too much and I can straight trade Luai>Mitchell next week. Unfortunately not going to be able to get on the Macca train.

Will somehow find a way to knock himself out

SJ still isn't running the ball. Not a great keeper unless he is running.

Those are good trades as you need a ctr and 2nd row cover. Im waiting for Talau over somelike like Averillo too.

In pre season barnett was going to be the lock, but that changed for rnd 1 when Sione was out.

Gutfeel sione keeps edge spot
