Albert Kelly went down with a leg injury at Broncos training. Cory Paix filled in at 7 and looms as most likely man to partner Karmichael Hunt against Canberra #NRL

Crap, Kelly was supposed to play the next 3 weeks and make me another $150k
Going to be playing 16 this week

With brimson out Campbell full back?

Interested to have a discussion on Mr. Dearden.

Job security is good, Drinkwater rarely kicks over 200 metres in games so far. We know that Dearden is a dreadful kicker but is it possible he can get to 300KM per game and make some cash? It's quite a risk isn't it.

He could do really well. I’ve tried discussing him here a few days ago but didn’t gather enough interest. He BE is quite high so I’m going to wait and also gives Fog another week at redemption.

I'd wait a week and see how he goes

Not trading this week. Pretty simple decision with 19 available players and being able to field 17. If Teddy is out, I've got J.Campbell as backup too. 15 trades left. Going to try as hard as possible to wait till the 2nd origin to use trades next.

Who are people going for Captain this round? I've got Burton atm, with Hynes VC. Can't think of anyone else I'd want in my team tbh. Hunt, iPap, Teddy, Hynes, Crichton other options. Burton's KMs base is what sets him apart. He scored 55 with a try last week, but had 20+ demerits. Hopefully he's more settled this week and can get 65+

I still can't understand why the dragons are preferring Ramsey over Dufty.
Is Ramsey really that promising?

I seem to recall months ago that Dufty was 'asking too much'. Not sure if that is still the case. Not sure he has heaps of big offers to choose from either..

Ramsey looks super shaky under pressure with the high ball IMO

Having said that, think Dufty is being overrated due to carving up the Broncos. He is still an erratic player, defensively suspect, and I don’t think he’s anywhere near the top tier FBs.

It has to be off field problems maybe attitude that's all I can think would be the reason to get rid of Dufty because he's killing it on field. I've heard his defense is the problem but a lot of f/b's can't tackle or should I say a lot of players can't tackle.

I’m turning Momo into Dearden ytsb (covers Cleary this weeks since I’m also trading Fog) so I can turn Fog into Taumalolo.

I know both trade outs are playing this week but that’s life

A. Kelly out means I can't loop as I have to put 1 of my looped players in the 17...why do bad things happen to good people lol

I'm thinking a late change with Harris LK and Curran EDG. Curran yet to actually start LK, but I remember him playing some mid and has some high tackle counts in a couple of games.

Last time he played middle off the bench, but looked pretty good at it. However with AFB back playing 60(from next week I assume) and Tohu (80) there aren't many left

I cant recall a game where Tohu and Curran both started and Harris wasnt in the middle... might be wrong though. I just thought that Curran, when starting has been edge, and Tohu in the middle.

Hmm, might be a bit too much uncertainty there. Still have Tevaga to potentially come back in there too, right? Might have to go with MS's man SST. Feels like a boring pick, but should go okay, and cheap, and pretty good JS.

I'm keeping Mahoney at position 17 & S. Crichton 18 & if S. Crichton scores shite I'll sell Mahoney but if he scores good then I'll save a trade.

Any issues with Fog + Stefano to CHN + SST? Think that's the way I'm leaning.

16 trades left before doing anything.

It’s all to do with the defensive side, he apparently isn’t the best at organising the line and he had one of the worst try cause stats last year, not sure about this year but it’s all about his defence apparently

A distinct lack of shit posting in here today, FFS !

Thompson consistent scoring, or Lolos boom bust scoring.

As long as u dont lose your shit on the back of Lolo's next 39

TU:Fog and Leniu to SST and CHN
TD:Stefano and Leniu to CHN and Jones

I'm considering a WFB cashout to give me 17 this week, and get a bit of cash. They won't get sold so any price gain is irrelevant

Thinking Schoupp might be an option. DPP CTR in case I need it and plays R17 (if nio tinjured/driopped by then)

Haze Dunster is cheaper, but every chance Blake Ferguson comes back in

Or grab Marzhew and hope he holds the spot now he has it. Neither Marzhew nor Dunster going to play R17 though, which is half the weeks I plan on playing them
