Koro
Haas, Mofo
Turbo, Murray, Leilua
SJ, Pearce
Crichton, Talau
Ponga, Pappy, Edwards

Grant, Robson, Carrigan, Mann
Drinkwater, Luai, HTF, Paix

Have one more trade for the week but only 16k so a downgrade of some sort needed. If I use the trade I’ll have 11 left.

Any thoughts on what to do with him?

Cowboys next 5 games are Eels, Roosters, Panthers, Manly, Raiders doesn't get any tougher schedule than that.

Why Edwards instead of Teddy, with Drinkwater to cow as 4th trade?

Stronger bench than almost anyone I’ve seen so no Teddy not as noticeable. I’m grabbing Ted but running a Talau/Lee/Averillo/Niu CTR so everyone weak somewhere still

mmmm yeah i havent fiddled with centre much this year, although i did have Waqa Blake there to start. I am not bothering with that position unless i have to, it is never worth it. Have your hack there for 20 - 30 points or grab Mitchell and worry every week, nah.

I’m considering Drown. A good-ish average. An interesting few weeks ahead without Mitch. And a very tasty next 5.

And makes sure the team doesn’t change colour balance with the crucial cyan/yellow midfield load.

Could join me in going for a 3rd gun half maybe?

Flanagan, Cleary & DCE all running at the defensive powerhouse of Drinkwater in the next few weeks

Might create some attacking stats

Weighed Brown but Moses in a few weeks too tempting for me.

Yeah his schedule his tough so I’m keen to cut and run. But I’ve got no wiggle room to trade up so it’s either a downgrade of some kind or keep.

I mean I could trade Drinky to Edwards instead of Hopo at least I know he’s not losing cash and happy to have him in EMG for the week

He's been thereabouts to busting out a big score in a couple of games before last week.

Unrelated to a degree, but TAB have got Roosters at $1.40 and Storm at $2.90

To be honest I’m not overly keen on spending that money for Teddy. Yeah he’s top draw but I’ve got other upgrades to make in the squad and I need that cash

Was completely wrong about SmackIntyre. Totally different player compared to when I was watching weekly in CC. Definitely think he keeps his spot/role from what I've seen in his first two games.

Watching Ressies this year or last? I've never paid any attention to him till last week.

Before trades my team is looking like this:


Currently I am going Horsburgh (injured) + Rudolph (peaked) + Drinkwater (shit) —> Young + Niu (cashout that could be good) + Tedesco with 37 k remaining

This would leave me with13 trades and I would probably cashout Fuimaono, Kerr and Luai in the next few weeks. Was planning of going straight from Fuimaono to a keeper centre but might just loop tali’s and Niu using Wiliame instead.

Last season. Reminded me of Kyle Lovett then. definitely not in that mould now.

I hope so mate, perfect centre type.

Now I’m tempted

I'm looking at Hetherington mainly as I think he could see solid minutes and his DPP is kind of what is the tipping point.

Only issue I see for McIntyre is minutes. Can he maintain 30 scores in 35 minutes? Even then is he worth the trade if you don’t already have him?

Yeah, definitely looks more like a middle now. I've said this already but really enjoyed watching him play and he could be a revelation for us. Not sure he breaks into the 13 this year so if he didn't have DPP wouldn't be Fantasy relevant, but purely from a Tigers pov he looks like a great find.

What would Luke Thompson's break even be?
