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

You have CHN as well so there's 3 quality edge forwards that will be in front of Young who could nab a bench spot but I suppose Bateman or CHN could play lock but it's not their specialised position.

Cordner out this week aswell Robbo just confirmed on NRL360

FYI those looking for Tesi Niu news.

Broncos have confirmed he had surgery last week and wont be back this season.

Angus Crichton got fitted into a new knee brace today (seen via instagram) so it looks like he will still be a while away if anyone was still wondering

Both Bateman and CHN ahead of him

Traded Wiliame to Niu to get rid of red dot and ended up with worse red dot

How many trades is everyone leaving for end of season injuries?

My mid season injuries are dictating that answer is 0

What injuries?

Probably 4 for me

Imagine deciding between Moses & SJ, and SJ actually looks like the less injury prone one

Will throw it on tomorrow at work. I've only watched 1 of his Podcasts, that one breaking down plays, he's a smart guy.

9min in and its great so far. THanks for sharing!

With Townsend out I wonder how long until Braydon Trindall gets a run
The kid was a gun in the juniors, so wonder if he will get a crack soon
Played for the jets last year and went alright against men

The big problem with Covid for some of the younger players is they didn't get a chance to play NSW cup and further develop on the field, so a big jump straight to the NRL is a huge ask

Looking at as a potential trade in around the 700k mark I can afford (max 731k in one trade for Fog, but may need to also trade Robson)

Never been really mentioned in great depth this year, feels a bit like Ma'u at the backend of last year

There are a few 2RFs who have the potential to "do a Ma'u" from around the 580-600k mark and go on a high-scoring, try-scoring run to the end of the season. CSironen, Nikora, Fitzgibbon, Whitehead. Just a matter of picking the right one, if any.. Friz is a safer option if you're spending your entire bank.

5 or 6 for me, depending on whether I sell Luai this week or later.

I'm selling Field to Randall (assuming Randall starts), and might also sell Luai to Starling and that's my 17 done.

What are people’s thoughts on tevaga? Will he just score around that low 50 mark or will he get back to his consistent 60+ scoring?

If I go Luai to Randell I will have just 3 trades for injuries till seasons end... I really want to trade him out now but I suppose I should hold off trading for a a few weeks if able.
