I’ve already made some questionable decisions this week trading Laurie/Roberts/Turpin/Moses to Simo/Verrils/Harris/Averillo so what’s one more dicey one haha.

Only one of them is questionable IMO (and I went similar levels of questionable with Burton to Avo), the others are good down grades with cover or upgrades and R17 bodies.

I was under the impression he was out more due to the heavy cut rather than the concussion itself. Not sure why I thought that though.
I'd bet he's back next round for sure.

EDIT: OK this quote from the post match presser indicates it was a pretty bad concussion:
"There's a real bad cut and he's not in a good way. He's not very stable and he has very blurred [vision],"

I don’t know if it was bad concussion, could be but I’ve seen a pic and it’s a seriously deep laceration above his eye that would have affected his vision anyway. I think he has to miss 2-3 weeks just for it to close up.

Haha yeah it was a tongue in cheek comment labelling him a cash out.

Just struggling to see many players under 500k with DPP that I want in my 17-21.

I want to try and get a good playing 17-21 that I can rely on with suspensions and injuries this year and I am pondering whether Hess and a similar priced player (40ish average) instead of a 50 average player and a proper cash out that I wouldn’t wanna play is better.

I think with the guns in MID/EDG of Tohu/Crichton/IPap, it'd be better to cover MID/EDG on the bench with them

Ideally I'm hoping Schuster/R17 MID I trade in for Watson become my 18th man and Verrills my 19th man which I'm pretty happy with considering my low team value

Thinking Chambers better cash out next week even though he's a spud has Broncos next week and gives me CTR back up. Is he keeping the spot?

I'm afraid they may pick him for Origin.

Have done Flegler to Verrills, and Laurie to Walsh this week.

Thinking about doinf Roberts to Simo as my third trade. Would leave me with 12 trades.

Not sure if im over thinking it. Dont need simo this week but i figure he will be a decent backup to have for the run home, and a fill in during 17/18 if im short a fb..

Waste of trade or good opportunity to strengthen squad?

I figure hes a 30 to 35 scorer from here at FB

I reckon Roberts has shown what he is and has a shelf life. You won't want to hold him long term and you certainly won't want to play him unless it's an emergency. ~60k for a significant upgrade seems a no brainer to me if you see Simo as a 30-35 scorer

I would do the trade mate for cover. You have enough trades to do it. If I had just 8-9 trades left I wouldn’t but with 13 left I think it’s a good move to get Simo.

On another note I’ve noticed last nights scores updates haven’t updated on the fantasy site yet. Before updates I was 5/431 C after updates 5/442 C. I know I’ll get the points, just might have to wait til Monday for them.

I used Schuster as a loop via Verrills and Olakau’atu. Seeing as Verrills scored 26 I’m gonna not take it and play Ola.

Well I'm a few hours away from finding out if selling both Brailey and Watson was a good idea or not.

Brailey, Tohu, Walsh, Bird, Macca, CHN, Hynes for me today.

I’m nervous about Watson for the opposite reason. Also kept Laurie. It’s going to be interesting to see if I’ve held one week too long for one or both

*Narrator voice* "deep down, he knew it wasn't"

Pulled the trigger on both last 2 weeks and don't regret it

I traded out Egan and got SJ

Kept Schuster who potentially could have ditched instead but so far don't regret the trade.

Red dots meant getting in a solid scorer for this week was worth losing a potential R17 player 9who may not play next round either)

Brailey is the highest averaging hooker. Why would you sell? If there's any correlation between Pearce playing and his scoring he should be even higher average

Looking forward to Brailey rock'n'rolling to a 70 today on the back of a full strength pack and pearce return. Big game at home for the knights.

Riki and Piakura not playing for Norths today. Not sure why, obvs a bye next week, but those two are probably cloae to a recall/debut respectively

Yeah, I'm no closer on deciding if Watson becomes Taupau.

Also thinking Laurie to Timo to get Harris instead..first trade was Leniu to Verrills.

Have ended up with DCE in my team. Hopefully a good day of league and no BS sin bins
