No chance mate. Butch is vital for our middle third, never played hooker before either. Can't see him moving to hooker at any stage throughout the year.

I thought he said Aubbs.

How many minutes does Butcher get? 50mins?

Are you concerned about Liu coming back and starting at lock or the fact Robbo could start Collins at lock some games?

Or do you think Young is the safer option as he has better job security and should average around 46-47?

Think I am set:

Moses/Drinkwater/Rudolf/Paix OUT
Cleary/Young/Niu/Sironen IN + 281K

Next week I will go
Lucy + Luai OUT
Teddy + Cow IN + roughly 203K

Week after
Crichton + HTF OUT
Taupau + Cow IN + roughly 31K

Team would be

Koro
Haas Taupau
Lolo Matto Angus
DCE Cleary
Talau Lomax
Teddy Ponga Pappy

Grant Carrigan Young Farnworth
Niu Sironen Cow Cow

9 trades + roughly 31K

GOOD PLAN?

I like it mate but the last 5 worry me if I’m being honest I’d want a bit of a better 17th man

Yeah plan would then be to wait for Young/Farnworth to mature and change them to better 16th and 17th players.

I worry for you re Farnworth set to lose goal kicking and questionable job security.

He could go back to mid to high 20’s scoring

There's been a bit of chat about the magic number today. The older ones who are familiar with the hip hop community from the late 80s/early 90s already know what the magic number is because De La Soul told us in their hit tune, "The Magic Number". You don't have to go far because the song's lyrics begin:

"3, that's the magic number,
Yes it is
It's the magic number"

Not much doubt about it so no need for further debate. Happy to help.

Yeah I can see Butch getting around that 50 mins when starting. However I would go Young just for the safer JS.

With 4 forwards on Rorters bench and Crichton and Cordner set for 80mins I wonder how the 4 forward bench affects Butcher and his minutes?

Coincidentally three is also the sum of me, myself and I.

Okay, which of these two do you choose for my 4th trade -Drinkwater to 1) Murray or 2)JFH

The most logical course of action is to deliberate over the next four pages based on wild speculation.

With me bringing Taupau in I’ll be back on Marty mins watch just like the last few seasons

I’d go JFH

I’ve owned Murray for a few weeks now and wish I had spent a little more

Drinkfucker to Murray

Everyone!!!! Disregard everything I have said today! I am only making 3 trades.. Will hold Paix for now until a cow turns up and use him as a loop for HTF and Niu. 208K itb to go Lucy > Taupau which should only cost about 24-30K... unless Lucy goes big then I'll hold. Will leave about 180K in the bank and I will sit back and wait for any cows to come and wait for Teddy to come back down around 850-875K.

Carry on

You’ll be taking that back when he scores a try this week mate, I can sense it!
