So do people normally just have a bad scoring week?

I was thinking they might just have the 13 and no interchange for the week but it sounds like you just have alot of guys with 1/3 of the squad gone.

I guess you can always do moves like Cook to another premium guy to get a bunch of points leg up.

In my experience most teams go super hard at one bye and then cop the low score in the other bye.

This year it seems like most teams will target first bye and then get screwed in the second because a lot of the top tier non-Origin players play the first bye (Mahoney, Brailey etc.) while for the second bye, aside from Tohu, there isn't much there.

Any interesting WFB or CTR looking likely to get DPP at WFB/CTR this week?

Yes I agree with Beth on this one. Most teams will probably field close to 15 in the round 13 Bye round and probably 9 to 11 in the round 17 Bye round. Unless your name is multiple_scoregasms then you'll field 17 in both rounds

Haiku, Pompey and Turner all spending time on the sidelines. Might be some interesting names outside for the Warriors this week.

BREAKING: Jackson Hastings is set to return to NRL in 2022. Sources in UK say he wants to return home. @WestsTigers remain the front runner and unless there is a last minute hitch that is where he will play next year and beyond. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine

Irrelevant for this season, but could be good next year

Gross. The downside of “wait a week”

Now fell $3k short of a Niu/Leniu to Turbo/Simpkin trade.

Great plan on paper it was. They went too well, no longer affordable

I dont normally like to organise trades before TLT, But Tino to Collins is my thoughts so far this week. Not locked in so will chop an change alot, but looking for a MID around 750k or less. (Unless TLT throws me a few curve balls)

Just on Turbo;
Last year i brought in Turbo and got this from him, so Im waiting a week or two til im convinced his hammy's are sweet (Just for those thinking about bringing him in)


Cheers Slug. (Did i do that correct? lol)

Was named on the wing
Although a change they did bring
He’s now in a sling

Looking at a Connor Watson type role for next year.

Who's left?

Hiku, Pompey, Fus, Aitken out. What's the story with Turner? If he's out too it's looking pretty bare-bones. Maybe something like:

RTS
Maumalo
Perham
Montoya
Berry

Might even see Reece Walsh get a run on the wing earlier than expected.

That's the thing with Turbo....if you spend a trade buying you also need a trade to sell when he inevitably brakes down.

Those getting Collins - won’t he play Origin this year?

Was very good for QLD last year in all 3 games and has been in arguably better form this year so surely a selection

TU: Riki + Leniu -> Lomax + Curran/Verrills/Blore
TD: Riki + Leniu -> L Thompson + Hampton

Need a centre unless Niu gets his spot back.

He's definitely playing for Qld. I guess Roosters don't play R13 anyway and you probably want to sell him for the run home?

I think with the earlier question of Collins/Thompson/Jazz, I would slightly edge towards Thompson. Collins at some point is going to have his minutes managed. Thompson is the ALPHA MID (tm) at Bulldogs, and he's coming off a full offseason after coming in cold last year. Can and will only get better, would punt that it translates to fantasy points.

He's pretty much guaranteed an origin spot, he's taken his game to a higher level this year & imo he's the 2nd best prop in the nrl. I would of said J. Papalii is the 2nd best prop but getting run over by a 2nd row (I. Papalii) & being put on his bum is not good for his rep as a hard man.

I reckon there's a bit of R17 value.

Tohu, Lolo, SJ, Flanagan, RTS, Morris, Young, Elliot, Reynolds, SST, Tevaga, Tupouniua, Jackson, Williams, Taupau, Walker, Thompson, Aitken, Rapana, Manu all potential targets depending on what transpired between now and then.


Could be a good chance to go hard and make up some ground late.

Hmm looking at things, I could invest in Moses instead of Turbo, he seems to have bottomed out, I guess it’s reliant on whether Papy suits up, my HLF stock not including Schuey if he goes to EDG are Munster, Walker, SOS and Croker, WFB not including Latrell is Pong, Papy, Laurie and Moylan

By Round 17, you’d want to be pretty close to done building your team and outside of Tohu, Lolo, SJ and RTS would you want any of those guys as your keepers for the run home?

Who you got as the best? Haas? Curious to know your top 5
