He's absolutely no chance of Origin. None.

What about that info late in the last thread?

How generous of you to call wild speculation "info"

Something to consider re Simpkin v Stefano:

Simpkin might come off the bench and score a 15, is this worth the cash he'll lose while doing so?

Stefano might have a tougher road back on paper, but it's more likely several forwards in that pack will find themselves suspended/injured week-to-week, than Liddle doing the same. He's not too far off getting a bench spot (which we know is all he needs to be a "decent" scorer.

Tough situation to make a call on though.

You do make a good point. Simpkin to Walsh fits in the budget I have, will leave me 20 trades

What truly does give me sleepless nights, is the thought of Milford or Norman in a QLD jersey again

I still can’t decide if pap is a trade or hold.

Why not just get Leilua if you’re worried about Origin impact

I need a mid.

Personally like the idea of just Isaako to Walsh. Potential 70 from Walsh would outscore Isaako 30 x2 this week. May not have the cash to do it post Origin depending on Isaako's score.

I like it. Crichton a keeper anyway.

TPJ would be ahead of Matto.

I disagree on that. I have Matto ahead.

Im thinking Crichton will miss a few games in the run home.

Cordner coming back, Roosters will have 3 Starting 2RF so I think its likely he gets a rest after origin and possibly towards the finals.

Just a gut feeling helping convince myself trading him to Hughes is the right thing to do.

Trying to figure out who's the best trade out. Red dots this week:
- Verrills: might be back rd 14, plays 17. Isn't costing me much keeping him in EMG.
- Peachey: plays 13
- Gamble: probably plays 13
- Crichton: prefer to keep, is fit so guaranteed to be back rd 14(?)
- Pap: some uncertainty on when he's back. Lets me choose any trade in.

Looking at Pap to any of Fifita, Tohu for some guns or Hynes, Walsh for some high risk high reward. Possible second trade of Walker to one of Hynes or Walsh.

Can't see Crichton being relegated to the bench with Cordner back, could even play lock with Radley out for a while now. Sitili would probs get benched before Angus based on current form.

The Alvaro to Tohu you mentioned in earlier post seems like a no-brainer and I don't know why you've panicked about such an easy decision

Should be able to cover Crichton those other weeks? Who am I kidding, no such thing as cover these days

I feel Hughes ranges from overpriced to grossly overpriced though.

Alright Isaako out for Walsh.

Now for Isaako to score 70 odd tonight, and Walsh to disappear after the bye.

Feels good.

I don't think they can afford to have him missing.

Ever been driving down a country lane late at night? You get a rabbit in your headlights and it makes the worst possible decision and runs under the car. Easy decisions for us aren't easy decisions for rabbits.

I can get Tohu in later with Hynes money. I think Tohu might drop 30-40k as well.

I want a round 13 player and I think TPJ fits that. I’m a bit low on R13 players.

Just got to figure out who goes out of Alvaro or Simpkin.

I’m starting to panic!!!!!

I don't think that'll happen given the Roosters aren't in a very luxurious position on the ladder but it could pay off for you.

I'm trading Paps on the belief that not only is he going to miss these upcoming games but also that he's going to get rested for the run home given the Storm are pretty much certainties for Top 2.

Crichton is having a rest this week and next week. Not sure how much more resting he'll need
