I don't own McInnes, otherwise I'd probably do it.

Cleary or McInnes I’m so undecided re Captain.

Not sure yet either whether I pull the trigger on Randall to Tevaga. It’s give me a stronger 17 no doubt but it means I won’t be getting Haas back, so torn �

Get Matto if you can cover him if he does go down, otherwise maybe Bateman? Could even be a sneaky captain pick vs the Dogs.

I can't get both Matto and Welch so I'm going NBrown instead

I like the Randall move

I reckon if you're lucky in last 1-2 rounds, Koloamatangi might have made enough cash to get cashout and upgrade another player to Haas as your last trades, so Haas might not yet be completely out of reach

Tbh I wouldn't do the Randall to Peach trade, you can play 17 without him and will likely need that one trade down the line. If you can't afford Lolo to McInnes directly, go Matto or Bateman instead, and put Sironen at starting 2RF. Also, Randall is a decent handcuff for Mann.

Your side would be the following with 1 trade left.

Hunt
Aloiai, Carrigan
Siro, Tevaga, Bates/Mcinnes/Matto
DCE, Moses
Crichton, Lomax
Brimson, Teddy, Ponga

Mann, Young, Flanno, Havili

Haas, Fotu, McIntyre, Randall

In completely fantasy irrelevant news, SBW added into fantasy at 520k

Blacker is still in their final 19 for St George for what it’s worth.

Could Young be telling porkies?

No doubt if I captain McInnes he scores 60 and Cleary scores 80.

If I captain Cleary he scores 60 and McInnes scores 80.....

Yeah man its all a conspiracy

Players named at 18 and 19 remain in squad cull to NRL imposed limit of 19 players at 24 hr mark

Lol you get what I mean, sometimes coaches tell porkies, FACT as they don’t want any pressure on the youngster debuting.

2 walking HIA's, perfect. Lock it in.

Its true that *someone* has to be left in the squad until kickoff

But its also not unheard of for players making their debut to not be named in the 17 until the last minute

I was originally gonna go Lolo to Mato who i think is gonna be a star in these remaing rounds but with 1 trade left im still probably gonna need a CTR for cover, Hopoate or Latrell with WFB/CTR DPP would have been more sensible as well as holding the single trade for future injuries but playing with trade outs I came across the McInnes Peachy combo, Peachy boom/bust I like can still put him at CTR and run Crichton/Lomax bench backs cover, both have DPP which could help team coverage plus it was the trade that most effectivly used my bank, now I will probably (C)aptain Mcinnes and if McIntyre gets another run thats more bonus cover, 12 of my 21 are DPP

Damn it now I’m anti Matterson

I'm liking that Wolfie and Filth joined the trend of fucking with Rabbits a few hours out from lock out

Stuck on Lolo to Twal v Matterson or an extra trade to cash out Randall and get McInnes

Can anyone tell me How Hopoate looked?
Trying to decide if he’s worth upgrading from Talau as 2nd centre.
5 trades left prior to this round.

Asked and Answered.

Worrying about HIA’s is just a unnecessary road to go down imo. Every player has an equal chance of getting a head knock. If I can run Yeo without worries you can run Matterson
