Yeah nah I can’t even

Why are there still question marks on so many players on the app

Theres a bloke for 540k who could banner this week

Gutho I'm guessing? Before Haas was out I was actually expecting Broncos to win this week so not really banking on any Eels players going big. With up to 737k to spend I would rather a premium option.

Making lots of tackles does not make someone a good player

Remember round 17 when Freddy Lussick made 66 tackles and the next highest Rooster had 38? Just maybe this was because the Raiders deliberately targeted him in defense to get quick play the balls and not because he was flying around the field diving into tackles? Same reason we never see Josh Papalii or Nelson Asofa Solomona at the top of the tackle count, if you run at them you are going to get whacked

Same on the desktop web version. Must just be slow updating.

Think he was talking about Joey Manu

AFB being named is tricky.. If he does play, ill have 17, but thats with HTF. But trading Haas/Teddy to a WFB thats playing seems a bit silly (to avoid HTF).

If AFB doesnt play then he doesnt give me a lot of spending money, which means id be most tempted by Gutho/etc..

Or just trade haas to cook/dce  and then theres no avoiding the hammer anyway

I dont think i am thinking straight at the moment lol

Edit: Cows playing 2nd game does give me a look at thr Hammer before a trigger is pulled.. but that rules out Cook

Haha i was actually referring to Gutho. But Manu is a good shout too

I could be wrong but at a glace it looks like any team whose game starts after 4pm on the Saturday is still listed as question marks except for the Warriors who were named earlier?
Weird.

Alternative is trade haas to cook/dce, and then figure out who to leave out from my 17 (but still play HTF)

Taupau, Twal, Munster JFH probably best options around his price, but you would have to make the decision on JFH early, plus he is just as likely to get a rest next week

If you have zero cash it becomes a gambe

Before the TLT carnage I was looking at bringing in McInnes and sneaking Gutho in as well. Gonna leave Gutho out now as I can do a straight Haas ---> McInnes trade without downgrading someone to Gutho.

So in summary, yes Gutho will go large this week.

Yeh can go up to 650k with an AFB trade.

Ill probably avoid JFH tbh because i can see him being rested (or low mins) next week

I am looking more risk/reward gamble on someone who can go 80+

Interested in who people think are the top 3 WFBs and top 3 CTRs for this week.

Peachy, Lomax, ?
Ponga, ?, ?

Manu at CTR
WFB more of a lottery... Edwards and Brimson?

Id have Manu over Lomax

Enjoying all this chat about Gutho going large

Dunno why you keep thinking this mate.

Josh Papalii at 624.
Risk that he gets another early shower but can go big.

Everyone tends to over rate their players. We saw Ben Hunt owners today basically begging for Brittain to be rested.

Feeling very fortunate I have 18 active players this week considering I'm out of trades.

Might be quite a low scoring round!
