Have kept Pappy so Teddy, Pappy and Walsh looks like being my WFB barring injuries

Kinda. Seeing if I can grab both SJ and Arey this week and tohu next

I want both Averillo and Reyno but only way to get both is to trade out one of Watson/Peach/Schuster

TU/TD thread has Averillo in front but I still want Reyno. Just a sucker for cheering on a player on a Thursday and dodging junk Avo points

Laurie, Watson and Twal -> Fifita, Cook and Verrills. Just do it right? I wanted Fifita and DCE but couldn't without a 4th trade so have to pick one or the other

Taukeiaho was "rested" last week so that he could take on the big load this week against Penrith. JWH wanted the big minute role in his 250th

Look SST could get a big workload this week on the back of two weeks off to heal his lingering injury. But it doesn't really sound like the Roosters to indulge a player with big minutes just because it's a milestone game. Especially as its 250... not even 200 or 300. Name one other players 250th game.

Doubt he'd go halves if Clifford/Pearce both fit. Maybe he'll just go straight to FB?

Oh of course duh

My bad

With the way WFBs are scoring this year I want more than 3 of the Teddy|Turbo|Walsh|Pappy|Pong|Mitchell|RTS-if-FB 7. Currently have 3+Hynes, who'll become one of them soonish, and will bring in at least 1 more.

Happier having them instead of another Mid/Edg/Hk disappointment.

Forgot about Hoy - easy then

Yeah, I'm not feeling Thompson personally mate but having the same thoughts about Watson and trading to Taupau.  Don't Watson scores too much less than him and you get another round to look at others like Tolo.

Yeah I've done a bit of a 180 on Thompson and Taupau today. Not as convinced about Thompson after looking a bit closer into him with Jackson, Elliot, Hetherington etc on deck.

Think I'll hold this week, cross my fingers that Lolo shows what he's capable of, otherwise get Taupau.

I'm currently considering him a keeper, but if they go ahead with the "resting" policy for him it could get annoying. Would need a decent backup, so considering having 4 good WFB

In his interview afterward JWH said he preferred to play 60 but had to do 80 because of troops. Didn't seem massively happy about it. The Roosters forum always has a lot of bollocks on it, even moreso than most of the other forums.

Wacko: Warriors Kodi Nikorima is looking at options of staying in Australia for 2022 season due to personal reasons and this is the reason behind Warriors going to market looking for a halves pairing for Harris-Tavita for next season

That reeks of a Shark signing, ffs

Hopefully get some indication tonight/, tomorrow. Does this mean Qld bring in Walsh

Keeper and Mitchell, got a feeling we are not going to see much of Pappy

I think Simmo if he keeps WFB is a decent backup for a game here and there. Just have a huge fear that whichever of Pappy, Ponga, Mitchell I don't get will kill me. I'm warming to post rd17 aiming for Fifita and Mitchell as my post origin trades, giving a WFB of Teddy Latrell Walsh, but Ponga and Pappy scare the shit out of me.

Would've said tigers but we've got enough meh options in dewey, brooks, mbye and hastings

Almost forgot to look at my draft team again. Simmo at FB a decent pickup, surprised he wasn't snapped up.

Does Trbo not also scare the shit out of you?

Ill be going Hynes to Pappy/Trell. Probably preference Pappy but wont rush him in. Will leave me with Teddy, Turbo, Pappy with Walsh as back up.

I guess the issue is we don't know how they're gonna come back from their respective injuries. Mitchell is a good bet regardless, and while I'm sure Ponga and Pappy will both have games where they kill it, you can't have them all

Can lock in not being Raiders, the only place shitter than Auckland is Canberra.
