Fifita and Merrin in the same pack will be offloading fantasy gold (in 2015)

Lam and Moylan to Sitili and Schuster good trades?

I'm really on the fence about Lam. There's no evidence to suggest he'll suddenly improve but his two performances so far have been in thrashings where everything Keary has touched has turned to gold. Against a better team like the Rabbitohs who can pressure Keary more, I don't know does Lam get more kicking opportunities?

I suppose at best though he'd up his average scores to 40's and it's not entirely worth it when he's losing money and someone like Schuster can gain good money.

His scores look to be his floor. It's a tough one that could go either way TBH. I'm leaning trade based on what I've seen so far. As you say a 40 average isn't flash when there are better options.

Would Tino and Turpin to Schuster and Alvaro be too much of a downgrade to fund my Munster --> Cleary trade? Would leave me with a really weak bench and plenty of cows in my team. I need Cleary though and I think that this is the only way to bring him in... using so many fkn trades can't believe I just didn't start with him.

Would leave my team with a bench of Schuster, Liddle, Alvaro and Lussick... yikes

Fucking hell Panthers with Fifita would be unreal (but also potentially shit for my fantasy team with Leniu)

will it screw leniu or alvaro. interesting, if he gets a starting spot over Fui I am in.

The best super cow of the lot is actually Corey Norman in a contract year.

willing to bet other sides would happily take fifita too, subject to fitness tests. Titans have Smith money set aside.

Sitili, Collins, or Keary?

Can't decide who to play as 17th man out of Leniu and Schuster. Pinning both at a 30-35ish base generally, personally reckon that Leniu will have a pretty decent role vs Storm and he's a PPM freak so that's what my gut is saying. Yet to see if Schuster's scores are repeatable

Help me out pls lads, TU Leniu TD Schuster

A lot of the comp would take him if they had the bank especially since I doubt he'd cost too much these days (+ sharks chipping in some of his salary?) I reckon he's still got a bit left in the tank

Fifita is on 850k if the papers are to be believed.

Really depends how much the sharks are willing to pay to move him on.

I would say Schuster. Leniu didn't get many minutes last week

Lam to Schuster

A: Lodge > IPap
B: Turpin, Tino, NAS > Fifita

Thoughts guys?

If you're talking about the Titans who signed Ese'ese and can't find room for them in their 17 because they have too many middles then I'll take that bet.

I'd go with Schuster for sure if he actually does start at 2rf which we will be able to see early on in the week because Manly play the second game. I also need so help with my shit team so could you have a geez of my team tracker and let me know where to go from here - feels like my szn is fucked already. Just need Cleary then my stress levels will go way down, even if it does leave me with a weak side

Ese has never been close to Fifita. Titans could easily have him on their bench if not starting ahead of Wallace.
look at what having Arrow or James coming off the bench is doing for their sides

I don't get the second one? Is it Tino and Turpin to Nas and Fifita?

The raiders have a quality spine though.

Adding more forwards to the titans wont improve their side.

I'm liking the look of Lam to Kenny. No idea if Lam will kick on, but Kenny looks good for 40+ tackles and may have 6-8 weeks of good job security.
