Yeah, reversed my trade and did that.

Sweet me too. Still have the option of cashing out best next week if something comes up.

Hey guys, what would you do with this current team? With Talau getting injured I now have to take htf's 9 unless I reverse my trade of SCrichton to DCE. Is it worth doing?

10 trades 30k ITB

Cook
Haas Carrigan
Lol Murray Matterson
Cleary DCE
Talau Niu
Ponga Papa Williame

Grant Koro Young Fogarty

Luai O'Donnell Mitchell HTF

Yeah I agree. IMO he's still an above average NRL HB, it's not his fault he gets paid like an outstanding one. But the new combos appear to be working and he's not a bad hooker either.

Totally agree, I know it's inevitable but judging a players form by how much they are being paid is completely illogical. They sign long term deals based on potential and I would say most never reach that potential so he is not an island there.
It's a bit of a cop out to blame one player when ultimately selection and tactics come back to the coaching staff & the combination of the full roster has a big part to play in form and results.

.e.g. Foran could be the player he was five years ago but the dogs would still be shit.

I think we established yesterday that King Teddy was a very, very young man (made me feel bad about past sarcasm offences) so he's not old and cynical enough yet to get a fair % of the jokes on here.

I had a laugh.....

You mean my mum is paying a minor for sex?

I think he's legal.....only by about 12 months (unless your mum is his teacher)

Edit : I haven't checked the current legislation & don't want to google it

Since everyone has been wondering (PM's have been going nuts), I've decided that if Fermor is shuffled to the forwards I'll bring him in for Paix and just roll with 16 but if not, I'll bring MCK in for Paix. He should go alright over the month Leilua is suspended. Everyone stop DMing me now.

MoFo, Lucy, Grant, Latrell and Murray for me today.

I think Latrell goes big tonight!

TALAKAI STARTING CENTRE FOR SHARKS!!!

Ronaldo return delayed one week.

After that you imagine he returns to the bench, but given people have been bringing in all kinds of bench forwards with crappy output, he might be worth it. Pretty sure Magoulias is not coming back guys.

Averages close to 30 when starting at centre.

When he reverts back to bench he should still score low to mid 20’s. Won’t make much money but not the worst choice.

youd think so... but its Latrell so im expecting him to plod around for most the game.

Too risky playing the break even game with Ponga? I can trade Moses to Ponga, but leaning towards Pearce instead and hoping Ponga's price falls. Or should I just get Ponga now and be done with it?

He tends to always go big against the Tigers.

Any chance Nene Macdonald comes into the backline?

His team also tends to beat the Tigers. Not going to happen this weekend

I think we will have a narrow victory. I think we have to much in the backs for them.

No Twal is a big out in the forwards for them too.

Hope he goes big. I have Rabbits 13+, Titans 1-12 and Pies -5.5 tonight.

I still remember Chee Kam ripping us a new arsehole in the final seconds of the game last year (maybe year before). That wasn't a fun day.

Yeh this is more likely imo

Spencer Leniu has been elevated to the interchange for Zane Tetevano with Malakai Watene-Zelezniak also being culled from the squad 24 hours out from kick-off.

Yeah Goodwin stays CTR and Macdonald on the wing.

Talakai back to bench...
