Good point!
I don't have any WFB or CTR coverage atm so having Coates could give me a bit of depth in case I get an injury/suspension
What do you think of Fermor's job security?

Thanks
Why would he be named in the centres if he might start in the 2nd row?
And would it still be worth getting him if he plays at centre?

I would not be trading Lomax out.. He is a season keeper mate. You have HTF who is a dud/stalled cow, Paix who is a red dot and Talau who just redid his hammy which is scary.
Tapine isn't a keeper and neither is Katoa. I would focus on getting rid of HTF, Paix, Talau, Katoa, Tapine probably in that order. You need some cover in the FRF so Tapau/Thompson is a good shout. Next week can possibly go Paix/Talau to a cow which might allow you to afford Katoa to one of Talau/Thompson and then chuck Crichton into Fullback for now.
Then chuck Marty/Thompson into FRF and carrigan onto bench for cover.
Seems you have burned through your trades and need cover desperately so Tapine may need to stick around for the long hall. I would focus on getting one of Ponga or if you cant afford RTS/Edwards/Gutho in the next few weeks. This may be able to happen through HTF/Crichton? Cash out HTF in a couple weeks and Upgrade Crichton if funds support it... Would leave you with 5 trades I believe and this team:

CM9
Haas Marty/Thompson
Tapine Matto Angus
DCE Cleary
Lomax Niu
Teddy Pappy Gutho/RTS/Edwards

Api Grant Robson Carrigan
Fermor Cow Cow Talau/Paix/HTF/Crichton

and 5 trades.

Gives you cover everywhere...but half but the 5 trades will help in case of injury.

Coaches love to mess around and not name people where they're actually going to play on game day.  

Probably wouldn't buy him if he actually plays centre but when you're desperate.

Positive about Fermor is we will know at 5pm this afternoon exactly where he is going to play.

I think even if he plays centre I will still grab him. -10 (or there abouts) BE and after last weeks game he may have won the love of the coach. With Proctor back next week Stone would be first to piss off and Hipgrave is trash so you would think Fermor takes that role. Well I am banking on it.

Il probably sell katoa/pap to ponga hopefully for even money in 3-4 weeks

Don't know if the coach would have loved him rushing out of the line and basically causing 4 tries down his channel in the 2nd half

Have you already got Niu - decent cashout at min price playing FB

Fermor's JS is pretty risky but would still take him over Coates.

The WFB/CTR cash outs are pretty average

No I don't have Niu. I was just looking quickly and saw his average was only 17.8 but forgot that includes games off the bench and that he averages 29.5 at fullback. He's definitely a much better option than Coates; he'll score roughly the same amount of points for 107k less.
What do you think of his job security and Isaako possibly shifting back to fullback?

Maybe Fermor is just too much of a risk with JS and he might even play in the centres which wouldn't be good for his scoring.

Isaako has had 2 maybe 3 chances at fullback and has failed all. I don't think he makes it back there anytime soon. Although Niu hasn't set the world alight he hasn't done anything wrong. I think it's his for the rest of the year.

I am taking the gamble on Fermor + we will know at 5pm today if he moves to the back row. Although, Centre isn't the worst outcome... Should still see enough ball.

I think his JS is better than it was 1-2 weeks ago given he's been through 80 mins after the game he was subbed. Pretty low risk given he's minimum price and now has low BE so might make money (but probably not enough to trade out)
