Who takes Townsends spot then?

I meant Tracey stays on the bench, when Townsend returns

Hmm probably not worth it then

It's alright, he'll be back in there by round 14.

Well, yeah.

Who are the top underpriced guns going around at the moment? Taupau is the obvious one who keeps getting mentioned but still hasn’t shown much signs that he is back to his best, Munsters scores have been underwhelming and Moses has injury concerns, and while Tevaga was the main topic of the forum last Matterson won’t hit his low point for a few weeks and probably won’t take the field for a while anyway, Twal still has cash to make, Fifita is a massive risk not only because of his boom bust scoring but he will be on the outer at the club, and Yeo has dropped cash for some reason, already have Hunt.

Just looked into it, apparently he’s set to perform a double backflip!
Get this kid into Gymnastics Australia!

Sounds like Vlandys has convinced him to stay by saying he can debut before 18.
Opens up a can of worms. Are we changing the rule or is it just when it suits?

With Moses still having a high BE and concerns about his recovery (or him just easing back into it) I think I'm going to pass on him for a week and instead use my Macca cash to bolster my mid range. 

Also L. Croker was a dud attempt at cash gen, so I'm going to go Macca/Croker to Thompson/RTS. 

Assuming the mail on Clark just being dropped to "freshen up" and him being back in the Titans run on this week (as my half cover), my team would then be:

Grant
Papali RCG
Jurbo Matto Sironen
Cleary Flanno
Averillo Best
Papy Mansour RTS

Havili
Thompson
Latrell
Clark

Hetherington
McIntyre
Niu
Ray Stone

If Matto is out I'll just run McIntyre in the 2RF slot for a week. I think this should make my team better rounded and hopefully can avoid some injuries and suspensions for a few weeks. Last upgrade likely to be Clark -> Moses and save my remaining 4 trades for injuries. 

Way the seasons going im fucked and will run out of trades, but a man can dream. 

Thoughts on the plan?

Edit: Thompson 2RF not FRF until hopefully DPP

If Mcinnes doesn't get his DPP added that will ruin all my plans. You'd think it's almost guaranteed though since he's started 3 games in a row there and only playing 9 this week cause of an injury to Clune.

Thompson as in Luke? He is a FRF.

About as good as you can do given the circumstances. Would be nice to upgrade the bench but RTS and Thompson about as good as you can get in terms of value for money

DPPs are added after this round not before this round

DPP
In line with the reduced season the dual-position player update scheduled for Round 18 will NOT be made, meaning there are two more DPP update due after Rounds 6 and 12.

Oops lol yep I guess Sironen is in the 2RF with Thomson on the bench.

Arrow is the main one at 619k, wouldn't go there personally because the haircut is even worse than before.

Good luck in the eliminator this week mate

So happy I have Papali. Just when you think he only scores well when he gets over the line he proves you wrong with the perfect FRF game. 

58 minutes, 42 tackles, 6 points in TB, 14 points in MG, no demerits for 62 points. What a gun.

Is there any chance of Hudson Young keeping his backrow spot long term? Or when Bateman comes back do we reckon that's the end of it. Surely they would look at Bateman playing 13 and leaving Hudson out there, it seems to be going okay for the raiders? Or am I just being too optimistic for my team lol

Wow what a fucking podcast. Must watch, real eye opener! Isaac John is pumping some class content out at the moment. Interviews Alex McKinnon about everything which has occured in his life. If you have any spare time, please watch, puts everything into perspective!

I sold both Lomax and Mann.

Lomax to Callum Watkins is probably one of the worst trades anyone has made this season and I probably wasn't the only one

Yepp I did that exact trade when Lomax moved to the wing. Has been the spark that has led to so many centre sorrows.
