Hammy strain recurring injury. Panthers report said they will be extra cautious because of that (lined a fair few pages back). Probably a sell (see TTurbo)

I don't think there's really much that can be done but I understand Payten's frustration.
Vlandys just wants the comp to keep going and so far that's happening so if he doesn't need to spend any extra then he won't.
Yeah I think it's the NRL dudding them, not the clubs.
The Warriors said they'd only been offered 3-4 players with 20+ NRL games experience. Now I get why they don't want less games - may as well blood their own youngsters than develop someone else's - but how many teams have players available with more than 20+ games under their belt?
You name 21 each week, add a few injuries, pretty much all clubs are down to the last 5 players in their 30. Or less. Who will almost all be under 20 games.
It sucks for the Warriors but no club is going to offer them more and risk their own season. I think the NRL needed to mandate something for it to work. Also would be good for the NRL to pull a few strings and get SBW and Leutele there as well.

Slight tangent to the normal convo:
Does anyone know when Dylan Walker is due back? Not a notoriously good scorer in fantasy (36.4 1st 5 rounds), however coming off a 1 (injury game) his BE is roughly 50, and with a quiet 1st game back he'll be looking at dropping another 20k and will be priced around 430kish. For DPP CTR/HLF, he'll be an interesting choice as a centre especially with all the issues we're all facing. Cut price keeper (as 17/18th man for coverage)?

Casualty ward has him R13 (week after)

Not a bad shout if you have extra trades available.

I did look at him during the first wave of the great centre crisis. Was way too expensive at the time. Under 400k would be decent cover if you have the cash and trades.

Does Niu still get a DPP change even though he's not playing? Thinking of getting rid of Willame as I don't see him ever coming back into the Dragon's lineup even when fit.

From LS's Q&A;
Centres are a real headache. Just so inconsistent, just don't know who to put in there week by week.
From Darren King
Yes, they are. With Zac Lomax the only consistent scorer at centre this season – and even that could change as soon as his attacking stats dry up – the smart move is to just get a couple of players with a decent average and don't stress if they don't score well every single week.
Someone like Bradman Best is a season keeper at centre, and his scores tend to be either below 30 or above 55.
What are your thoughts on Aubusson at $330k dual position with Crichton out for over a month?
From Lachlan Delforce
Many years ago I coined The Mitchell Aubusson Rule ("Never buy Mitchell Aubusson"), and it's a simple rule I stand by to this day. He always looks tempting as a dual-position 2RF/centre with a good price tag, but he's also likely to be shifted out of the starting pack when the Roosters are at full strength – and if Angus Crichton is back after two weeks you'll need to make yet another trade in the centres with not much to show for it.
If you need a cheapie in the centres consider Cowboys rookie Daejarn Asi instead, who's priced at $263k and has a break even of -5 (although he also has job security issues when Michael Morgan eventually comes back). Better yet grab a 40-point keeper you can set and forget in the centres, with trades running low for most teams.
Alright LS, I have Lomax, who is this other 40 point keeper at centre I can trade in?

40 you say hey? That's a bold call the way he is playing fantasy wise.

Not sure if mentioned but there’s a video on NRL.com where Hasler rubbishes earlier reports that Turbo has had a set back during rehab

Would you prefer Siro allowing 700k for two major upgrades next week... Or Tevaga and 312k for upgrading.

Surely it’s a flip of the coin for HTF v Professor Farnsworth for WFB3.
Leaning towards HTF as I give Cows more of a chance to upset Manly than I do Broncos upsetting Storm. Would be good to know if Herbie was FB.

I've personally gone for option 1 with a monster war chest. But for me the points difference this week would be Siro(35) over Ponga(55) so not the end of the world unless Ponga shreds the Dogs
