I would go B as you are tading out keepers in 3 other positions... however, Lucy to Hunt is pretty sideways. Not sure Hunt reaches the heights everyone thinks he will. He will still hvae his 40 point games.

Or hold Latrell?

Or just do Latrell to Brenko leaving me 138k spare for a future week!?

Can then do:

A. Pearce to DCE
B. Lucy to Hunt
C. Yeo to Crichton/Matterson/Taumalolo
D. Taupau to Hunt


Thoughts please?

I would be worried about trading in Brenko as Vunivalu still out with hamstring injury which could mean Momirovski back to CTR and Suli wing = Brenko out

Though Storm website says: "Suli missed the prelim last year with a hamstring so we're going to be extra careful with this one."

Casualty ward says R11 return for Vunivalu (next week)

Hmmm probs best to hold trades then.

I dunno that I wanna own Latrell anymore though. Guess I have to cross my fingers for the best,

With Angus Crichton's 121, I really liked this, it's supercoach but it's basically how I see the game when my guy is doing well:

I don't think Robbo would play around with something like that so much. Doesn't seem their style. He drops Aubbs back to the bench all the time without explanation and even Crichton signing and playing from the bench too.

I'm really banking the rest of my season on Best and Latrell bringing it back with some good scores. If they don't and people like Crichton and Niu keep scoring better, I'm doomed.

I just keep looking at teams higher than me and they have a Lolo, Matterson, Angus, Cook etc...... I have none of those!

Latrell to James Roberts is another option and bank the cash!

Are they out this week then?

Will depend when they were tested and how quickly they get results. A few tests in my household, results have come between 6-48hrs. They say 24-72.

Timing has always been someone calling/texting after hours, I assume because they do the tests 9-5 and calls after hours.

Given the current higher levels of testing in their area, you could speculate it's likely to be at the higher end of wait times. But who knows, maybe they'll get fast tracked results. Another NRL exemption!

Neither do I. Didn’t stop me scoring 1100.

Mate you're not going to catch me trading in the players I already have...

NRL uses private clinics for testing. They'll have results back tomorrow during the day. Also, read earlier in the week that there's 30 odd NRL players and staff living in the hotspot areas.

You probs have Robson and Macca though, I regret not picking one of them up.

There would have to be.

Also you're supposed to get a COVID test for literally any cold/flu-like symptom. So you would think there's been dozens of NRL players tested already, just not newsworthy because not linked to hotspots/rising cases before now (even if link is very tenuous)

One of my staff members got flu symptoms, went and got tested and results were back in 24 hours. These guys should know by tomorrow morning at the latest you'd think.

I don’t think I’ll catch you anyway tbh.

You own Lolo, C. Smith and Robson. I’m missing a couple of players in that higher gun category.

Young to bust out an 80 tonight.

Score predictions for Teddy tonight?

I wish, more like 32 probably.

Look at their 16-21. they sacrificed depth to buy the top tier guns at their peak price. Most would have max traded

And we still are not yet HALFWAY through the season. I imagine the last 11 rounds are going to have similar carnage to the first 9, which really hurts when you are running out guys like Hammer, Paix, Talau, Averillo, Field as 18th man instead of someone like Fogarty

I have no doubt by round 16 there will be people running out 14 players each week, unless we get another trades rescue package
