    Averillo can cover the whole backline positions and Dogs fans seemed pissed that he wasn't in last week over Montoya. I don't think his JS is an issue

    Starling I'm 50/50 - decent scorer in 14-17 and should make cash. But with low trades and being a HOK you might end up stuck with a useless 18-21 player for the season very early.

    Appreciate your in a tough spot and there are no perfect options, going to have to take a punt.
    I’m just concerned I’ll drop 200 places or so by playing with 16.

    I need to get rid of Magoulias so I feel Starling is a good choice.

    Then I’ve got Dudson Young as well who has really pissed me off. I’m scratching my head.

    Just read off a Souths forum that Koloamatangi could be coming in for Mago. This makes me wonder if Sironen will indeed still play some middle mins as well.

    Souths bench this week could be:

    Nicholls (middle)
    Sele (middle)
    Johns (second row)
    Koloamatangi (2nd row)

    No idea what Wayne is up to lol and it’s annoying me.

    A guaranteed starter with DPP CTR/WFB to score 25 at a push. I'm envious of the guy owning Darius Boyd

    Current team;

    CM13
    Haas Mofo
    Tolo Lucy Carrigan
    DCE Pearce
    Lomax Talau
    Pappy Teddy Nofo

    Grant Hetherington Luai Young

    Koro Hammer Herbie Niu

    11 trades and 51K

    Thinking;

    Young - Siro
    Luai - Hunt

    Gives me a backup half on the bench in the 14-17 yet playing hooker and Siro hopefully can be a better scorer than Young. Not sure if it's worth missing Hunt and getting Ponga instead and run without half cover??

    FWIW the week I played with 15 I went up places. Last week with 17 I went back a looooong way.

    Another way to look at it - last week how did you do if you replace either CTR score with a zero?

    It's not going to be your 17th player that costs you a couple of hundred places, it'll be if a few of your guns having an off week.

    Yeah you’d think that Montoya and Holland would make way for Reimis before Averillo does.

    I assume there is a chance Averillo kicks goals as well even with Meaney there.

    I think Averillo has better job security than Asi personally.

    If I bring Averillo in and say Pap or Ponga miss a week or 2 at some point I can then just move Latrell to WFB and bring in Averillo from emergencies to centre.

    Nofo is killing it mate plus with Teddy Ponga isn't uber urgent. Siro and Hunt set your bench up nicely. Just hope Hammer, Herbie and Siro can make some cash so with 9 trades left can make a couple last ditch movies to solidify your squad

    Say I play with 16 and then Latrell is back next week then I still don’t have centre cover and my only backs cover is Hammer at WFB, is this an issue?

    BOLD PREDICTION:

    Hammer turned a corner last weekend and learnt how to play footy at NRL level. Will average 40+ from here on!

    12 Trades and 92K in the bank. Team before trades sits at:

    Grant
    Haas Carrigan
    Matterson Lucy Lolo
    DCE Cleary
    Lomax Crichton
    Ponga Papy HTF

    Young Butcher Luai Farnsworth
    Niu Angus Fermor Koro

    I can field a 17 this week, with no confidence; however, I feel if I sit on this I could fall behind where others are trading Angus to the likes of Cook, Tevaga, Hunt, Bateman and either gaining ground or putting a gap on me.

    I have the same trade in targets as others: Asi, Sironen, Hunt, Tevaga… I think out of those Sironen is a must have (>300K, starting 2RF and the best JS)

    Not sure what to do with Niu/Fermor neither have made enough cash to warrant a cash out and I don’t want to trade Young/Luai because they are playable green dots and still with the opportunity to make more money.

    Then there is Angus – already down to 3.9% ownership before the weekend. So hoping he is only out for about 2 weeks could be a massive POD putting up BIG scores for the run home.

    Any advice/thoughts/trade plans would be much appreciated.

    Get Teddy ASAP mate. Great team. Tempted to get Siro and Teddy this week mate. Would be tempted to ditch Angus for him if need be.

    So you don’t think running without centre cover is an issue?

    Just play with 16 this week and wait for Latrell to come back the week after, take the hit and save a trade? Then I’ve still got Niu just sitting there.....

    Or with my rank being at 425 highest I’ve ever been is it crucial to run out with 17?

Would it be better to get a gun like matto then Sironen for Paix, or get like 2 cheaper options like N.Brown and Taupau?

    Thanks mate, dropped rank with no Cleary or Ponga last week though. Getting worried for Nofo moving forward now Ponga is finding his feet but I have to roll with him. Not sure if he can put up a good score against the Eels though. Not liking running Talau this week but not much can be done.

    But in the next 1-3 weeks there might be a better CTR option emerge? Or something happens that frees up cash for a better option that exists now?

    There's probably no right answer - a lot will depend on luck. A few people have indicated Averillo is a good shout, I think it's a bit of a risk, time will tell.

    For me,  in your shoes I'd take the hit and assess again next week. Would be looking at what's better for your team long-term with points and trades/cash rather than plugging one week holes at CTR.

    It has been awfully gruelling. Was so glad I got it out of the way on Thursday night last week.

    Butcher or Young has been a coin flip from the start. Need more Bateman info.
