If I was gonna do that, I would sell Croft instead of Lomax, as I have plenty of halves and Lomax is so highly owned, also him covering CTR and WFB is so valuable as he can be used to plug holes in WFB, in case my big three miss a week here and there (I know Robbo loves to give Teddy a rest)

Yes, fair enough, didn't notice you had Croft. If doing that make one of your two guns a half (Munster/SJ/DCE) because Mann and Luai arent keepers and Field is short-term.

Really can’t work out a good trade for JTB, considering holding him this week and see if a better option comes through. Say he scores 35 this week what does he lose? Another 10-15k?

Munster is one I've got my eye on, if Mann can just make a little more cash or at least hold his value and if Munster can just drop a little bit more, then I will pounce on Munster, as he has been absolutely amazing since the restart. Ideally he'd get eased in this week and not play the full 80 before being back to 100% next week, but we'll see.

Either way, I won't sell Croft to Niu this week, unless Croft gets ruled out last minute for Dearden (in which case I will definitely do it and use the money on getting Munster when I can)

I’m holding Mitchell, I’ll ride the highs and lows.

I'm looking Munster too. BE 78. Entirely possible he hits that but would like him to lose another 20-30k at least.

You've got DCE and Cleary and have a backup for the time being, I don't think you need another half?

not now no, but Luai & Fog are only a week or 2 away each from being milked and Pearce ain't getting any cheaper.

I don’t really need either position but getting rid of Latrell is my priority. RFM or RTS?

Going Lucy and arrow out for Crichton and cow leaves me with 208k to bring in tolo next week leaving me with 6 trades and this team.

With Moses adding a few extra weeks to his injury diagnosis, do I make another move elsewhere and try get someone like NBrown in?

You trying to upgrade Young there Welshy? Happy to let Drinky run around in the halves a few more weeks are you?

Is anyone holding Moses with this latest news?

I have Pearce and Cleary, who I’d be happy enough to finish the season with, but I was holding Moses and planning to drop Pearce to 17. That’s a lot of money sitting in EMG though.

Yea Drinky would go but I’d run Field until Moses back. Would be less points I think because would be Brown and Field vs Drinky and Young. Best waiting for Moses or just taking a punt on a half like Pearce/Norman/Hunt/DBrown

Fuck me dead, I'm considering something that could backfire something special

Drinky - Milford

But I've got that gut feels this is the week

Yep, Sportal was where a lot of us started out. The wesbite changed names and still exists as a horrible piece of shit but back in the day they stopped looking after their forum and eventually took it down. Some of the good people here saw it coming and started this site, bringing a lot of us across.

Praise be unto Random

Off you go! Just looking at his stats his 2 best games were pre rule tweak (covid), didn't realise he is now sub 500k as well. The backfire option is definitely present

A half that can't defend to another half that can't defend, looks sideways

Honestly I'd probably take Wakeham over Milford at this point. Looking at Milford's stats pre & post COVID, not much has actually changed, just loss of KM and less TBs

I honestly reckon Croft is done which will give Milf his bulk KM back. Plus Donkeys aren't going to be this bad for much longer, only way is up

I understand the huge risk involved, but I love the challenge

Ha like my Yeo musings. I have to have a re-think because to get Teddy in this week means I'm playing Fui (off the bench) at 2RF which can't be healthy... either that or miss Teddy and I def want him in 2 weeks before he hits the warriors and Titans in succession. The death ride might be back in play for 2 more weeks

What are the options mate? I wouldn't be playing Fui off the bench

Not ideal.

Safe play is just Sione to Tauk (or maybe punt on the unknown Thompson for an extra 70k bank) and bank 1 trade, but it means by default I have HTF at the back which I'm also not thrilled about.

Weighing up Teddy/Fui vs Tauk/HTF and who would score better, and then whether I can still get Teddy in 2 weeks. I'm of the mind that I can't win the comp without Teddy, as his explosions are going to be too hard to fade
