And is Lowe out for the season? Deciding between sironen and starling but may end up with both anyway after next week

Yeah, found the conditioning comment a little strange, but not a lot of context around it or the injury in general.

He is not a hold for me though either way with a few more trades in the bank than most.

This.  I've never owned the bloke and it killed me last year through that period where he was carving up.

BHunt comes in first for me this week based on BE's, and I have Niu in the starting loop for Smackintyre.  So if he doesn't go well then I will do Niu to Maubbs .  Tevaga will be second trade in though if Smackintyre goes alright.

Speaking of which, what is everyone's thoughts on a Centre loop score considering how dire things are there.  I honestly think I would take a 30 plus this week.

Same ideas here.
Hunt is first trade in, was going to be for Mann, but now I’ll use Koro.
Using Niu to loop Talau. If he’s no good I’ll be getting Aubbs.

He goes alright as a 2nd rower but Garner isn't expected to miss much time so a wasted trade there I think.

I don't have enough for my Tevaga and Hunt trade ins so am bringing in Siro instead. I think he will be a solid cover for Angus over the next possibly 4 weeks and could be a handy 18th man when my trades run out and a guy goes down injured.

Love it when both the Draw and early injury news allow for clear cut strategies. God knows we spend enough time making decisions on rumours and second guessing.

Am I crazy to consider going back to aubbs?? Need a replacement for Nui and don't want to spend much in this position.

Aubbs is starting 2nd row this week for Angus but I guess it's a gamble whether he keeps it over the next few weeks while Angus it out.

All centres bar Lomax are a gamble.
Aubbs has only missed 2 games, although he did play very limited minutes on another 2 occasions.
You’d have to think he stays in the 17 when Angus is back.
The SBW news adds a bit more doubt but no more than the job security of other options.

Do you have many trades left?

You piexe of shit.

Probably asked and answeres a 1000 times but whats the go with Koro. Info on how long he is out for?

I would’ve mate but fuck just got home and now apparently Koro is out 3-6 weeks. I’m in a bit of a panic now! Back to the drawing board and scratching my head and I need to figure it out quickly!

I do not think I can be fucked wasting another trade on a centre, I only have 10 trades left. Likely I will play with 16 this week.

Also now re this CHN news to Canberra and Bateman coming back I’m getting very close to wanting to piss off Young.

I may just do a Young to Starling trade and a Koro to Cook trade. Issue would be I still have Magoulias and Niu in my squad sitting there.

Anyhow just eating dinner, my head is all over the place

Koro is looking like 3-6 weeks. Seems fairly serious with an arm brace on and a grade 2 injury according to NRLPhysio

Might do the same actually. Was getting Siro but if Talau gets a single digit can go Asubbs instead.

Penrith physio was also on saying at least 2 weeks rest before some strength and conditioning work to get him back asap.

How did I go from having two centurions in my team to two hundred stitches needed in my arse because I’m have been royally fucked
