Seeing him on my trade outs next week will feel as good as my morning dump

Alvaro becomes Fifita next week.
Pretty happy with that.

I've got $668k in the bank

Alvaro to Tohu was the plan, but Fifita also an option.

Only Laurie and Momo tonight. Anything could happen

This was the plan. Can stick with it as long as he doesn't lose more than 23k

Lucy, Laurie, Stefano, and Roberts tonight.

Having held Stefano and Roberts this long, I would appreciate if they didn't do an Alvaro.

I have Burton, S. Crichton & Laurie tonight...go hard boys

I noticed last night when TC Robati was coming on after a break that he had these 3 things written on his strapping on his arm...this sums up the basics of rugby league:
run hard, tackle hard & energy

This was discussed earlier in the week, but what are people doing with To'o?
Currently have him cashed out to Suaalii to give me double trade upgrade options next week but just thinking whether I bring in another R13 gun.

Only other trade this week was Simpkin to AKelly.

230/4 with 10 players to go, Burton (C)

Whats concerning is he needs to write it on his hand to remember his job.

JFH, Roberts, Laurie, Burton and (c) leary tonight.

Could be a huge jump in ranks.

It always pays to be thorough

I won’t lie I’m tempted to trade Pappy to get another number this week but it would probably have to be a WFB so I don’t have to grab one next week. 

Has trouble written all over it

I would be very tempted after the post in nrl physio about his recovery

That's lucky. I was surprised Wolfie went after a few of the long-time posters like that.

I don't know why it's always Welshy and I coping it though.

I To'ossed him for Hunt. I'm afraid I will no longer be allowed to make puns using his name as a non owner

Edit: grammar hard

Think JDB copped a bit of unnecessary flack last night. When the try was scored JDB was the A defender with Bird at 2nd marker with McCullough at 1st marker. On your try line you should only have 1 marker so you don't have a giant hole in the defence, although McCullough was in a better position to get back then Bird. While they were in the wrong defensive structure when the ball was played it still could have been corrected.

Blind side had 5 for both attack and defence. In this situation the markers should have split with Bird going to the blind and McCullough to the open. This allows A defender(JDB) to chase hard against the faster man so there isn't an overlap created. The marker(Bird) then fills the hole on the inside. Bird held at marker which left a giant hole for Kelly to step through and set up the try. Looks really bad from JDB to average footy fan, but coach will absolutely be blaming Bird in review session.

JDB general thoughts - Still an incredible ruck defender. Hits low and hard which puts most defenders on their back allowing 2nd and 3rd man to put on pressure. I don't remember him losing a ruck in defense last night. With ball in hand he ran well and found his front on the first carry. Played well as the link man similar role to Radley where he is a run pass option. This freezes the defence on "good ball" as he can tuck and run himself, hit the decoy(normally Alvaro or Vaughan) for a crash ball or go out the back.

While I think 725k is way too high, once he gets up to match fitness and can play a 65 minute role he will be in my team. Might be back end of this year as an under priced keeper or might be 2022

Just realised I can go Tino to Mahoney if I really wanted to get another number in.

With Watson as a lock and Barnett and Fitzgibbon second row Jones probably wont keep Frizzells spot for the whole 6 weeks will he?

EDIT - isn't he still in camp though & they haven't released him yet...I read this last night but it could of changed today
