Any recommendation on a half under 650 K  ?

I assume that's just his retirement plans rather than anything about playing future.

i dont expect him to play but if he is moving that way it would be great to try and sign him just to be around the club

Captain Coach and Head of Recruitment at the Broncos, effective immediately, hopefully.

kurt mann the way he is going, especially if he plays 50 minutes half and 30 minutes at hooker

He is a tough little rooster ,looks pretty banged up at times.

Best is probably your best bet, pardon the pun. Aside from him, the main other options I see at CTR are Pompey (spot should be safe with Fus and Marmalade leaving) are McIntyre (consistently gets 30ish a week), both are ~290k and will probably score as much as the guys 100k more than them. If you've got a bit of cash in the bank, you could go for a better centre, like S Crichton, Aitken or Staggs

Didn't DCE buy a place there before he backflipped?

Holding him leaves me with 6 trades, 5 if I sell.

I think I am making that trade this week. I'll be down to 7 after it. Worst case Randall as 18th man that can come into 17 if needed, best case I have a spare trade later on to trade him out if he makes good cash

Norman to SJ or Hunt and don't look back

SJ has been front of mind lately with the Townsend news.
Hunt joined the crew last week.

Could always look at another position and grab a cheaper Moses/Munster next week

Are you not worried about his HIA history with limited trades remaining? I have him but not sure I could pull the trigger now. One more bad knock from some time off I’d think.

Your call on that one, though jumping at a cheap Moses isn't the worst idea. I love SJ and his draw is juicy but he doesn't always translate his real life performances to fantasy.

yeah dont have the cash, already have SCrichton tho so i guess its Crichton/Best till the end... just need to hope no more forced trades for a few weeks to get me back into decent shape.

Yeah was thinking about that risk, but forgot to mention it in the post.

That is the main worry, he missed around 6 weeks with Roosters when he got falcon from a kick

Anyone considering Johnson? No Townsend beside him and kicking goals which gives him a reasonable floor.

Can anyone beat 11 trades on centres? FKing Zac Lomax..

Still ranked 504 but my season is done

Feel your pain. FKing Lomax. FKing SMat. And while I’m at it FKing Mann

Yeah it’s a tough choice. Does Tracey kick much?

Just looked at MTBs stats and 0KM in games he has played in. Someone’s gotta kick

Yeah, SJ looking good on that front but it won't last forever, Towny will eventually come back.

That said, I really wish I could spare a trade to get him in

Bateman better take it easy this week

I am in this exact same situation and can't decide what to do. I could do Joliffe instead and pocket the cash but I don't like having that red dot there.

Yeah 4-6 weeks is a fair chunk. Got a lil time to mull it
