Lovely trades

Those are solid, right? Surely a sign.

Haas at 689k is very hard to look past, though. Just one trade Laurie to Haas also very tempting.

His highest score since R9 is 51. BE of 90 which he can easily get, but seems to have settled around 50-60 minutes a game and only posting about 0.9ppm. Thinking he will probably be kept fresh for Origin as well, definite target after origin for me though. Looking like could be around 650K soon.

Absolutely no idea where I’ll go this week

Laurie > RTS
Watson > Tohu
Turpin > Verrills

If Watson goes back to his average he is a keeper. Don't see it happening?

So hard not to sell him but Knights are a completely different team with Pearce and Ponga (who haven't played together yet this year) and both are due back this week, so I wanna see how he goes with them in the team.

Kinda wanna see how it works with a somewhat healthy Knights team potentially this week before I say bon voyage

I see why people would hold Watson, but the stars have aligned for me and my meagre bank this week in that I can go from him to SJ in a single trade, and if Watson doesn’t make his BE this week, and SJ does, both things that are likely to happen, that chance disappears for me.

I wanna get rid of Matterson so bad. Is Thompson still a purchase with Jackson playing those big mins?

Fitzgibbon returned sealed his fate. Saifiti, Klemmer, Barnett are big minute middles which doesn't leave many minutes left for Watson

Watson has two scores below 40 and 8 above 50 and his two sub-40 scores came when he played five-eighth, which isn't a usual thing for him. Off the bench he is averaging 52.3 and when he starts at lock he is averaging 53.3. Would love to see his work, with Pearce steering them around, Ponga causing trouble from the back and Saifiti bros, Klemmer and Frizell getting a roll on from the front. Minutes are no problem as he is still getting 52 off the bench and hasn't scored a try yet this year. Watson is the type of player where an 80+ score is coming sooner rather than later and Warriors may be a good candidate this weekend in Newwy!

Anyone reckon having 5 roosters is weird?

Feels good getting rid of Roberts

its much better than having 5 from a team at the other end of the ladder.

Surely Bird gets EDG DPP? He’s not there to cover injury or anything with both Sims and Kerr available… be very handy

My planned trades.
Surely TLT will mess it all up somehow

Could be a Rev luxury trade re Watson, with 9 remaining

This will be very hard to turn down:

Watson > Haas
Laurie > Verills
Matterson > DiFi

Any opportunity to get Haas and DiFi in one week is going to be very hard to ignore.

Would leave me with 13-16 keepers depending on how you define Lucy, Kelly, Hynes, Schuster (and how Verills scores).

Probably only a Hynes -> Pap/Turbo, Kelly to Peachey, and upgrading Jones/Simonsson when they peak away from being a team I'd be happy to run home with.

Momo to cash out and probably Laurie out for me. Unless Teddy isn’t named then need to keep Laurie again

Think Watson is a keep once he goes back to the forwards. I already punted Fog last week and he bounced back so would hate if that happened again with Watson

Possibly but no DPP updates until after Rd 18 and he's more useful at CTR in fantasy
