    If Warriors say they aren't risking Katoa with how important he is, you'd think he walks straight back into a spot. I'll hold this week since I can field 17 and see what happens next week.

    Also thinking about just leaving Lomax/Cheapie at CTR all year and just worrying about beefing up my HOK and FRF, (2RF already stacked).

    There is simply no reason Lomax isn't a centre keeper this year.

    Just pondering out loud, an alternative to say Averillo. Forgot about Tevaga coming back, but if he goes 40/40/20 can make approx 100k and should still have a bench role going forward with a bunch of our pack on long term injuries (Afoa, Ah Mau etc)

    edit: saw your edit, yes he is FRF - that is probably not too helpful then to plug the 2RF gaps

    Papalii JR and Curran floating around as well could possibly either take minutes/take his spot.

    But then if he is out next week do you just bite the bullet because it would most likely only be one more week?

    I'm planning to go with Ponga, Teddy, Mitchell with Drinkwater in 18-21 covering both WFB and Moses/Cleary.

    Targeting all of Fifita, Twal, Tevaga for low cost keepers for final team.

    Next weeks problem haha. But yeah, that's what I'm thinking, if can hold this week, there's merit to holding until he returns. Hopefully he's even back a week early.

    I know most of them were pretty fantasy-irrelevant but can we get a list of the DPP updates into the first post of the thread?

    SI - a post-it note will do.

    Think I'll hold Katoa this week and see if things become any clearer. If not he becomes Taupau next week.

    Was saving up to go Brailey straight to one of these this week and am now inclined to follow through with that trade and then maybe ditch Wiliame/Paix to Niu as my second trade to leave $100k in the bank for a future upgrade.

    Second trade a waste (gives me 17 this week as well as cash) or worth it given neither of those two guys look like getting another game in the near future?

    Katoa to DCE/Cleary solve's my issue and pushes the Niu conversation back a week. Intriguing if the timeline is accurate.

    With Katoa out, bring in S.Mat to replace him and play 17?

    Or sell him down to a cheapie (averillo/Niu) to get enough cash for upgrading C.Crichton next week, but only have 16?

    Centers ATM are Lomax & Mitchell, so i don't desperately need a center, but i can move Mitchell to WFB next week alongside Teddy & Papy

    Been using max trades and it's come back to haunt me.

    Looks like I’ll go Katoa > Talau and that gives me 190k for next week

    What's everyone doing with Wiliame by the way? Still at 15% ownership. I've had to keep him around till now with bigger fires to put out each week. At this point is it better off just holding him till he comes back and saving the trade to keep CTR/WFB coverage for the run home?

    At the moment I'm just doing Turbo -> Jurbo and can field 17. If Teddy doesn't play Wiliame or Paix could become Talau/Nui.

    Yeah that's the thing, the dud cows making it so hard to put a decent squad together.

    Resigned to likely holding him for the season now as a red dot / loop option. Max trading already he doesn't generate enough cash to dump and he could always come back and play in round 13/14 or whenever he is due back.
