Thought of it - but you'd hate it if you trade in Ponga then he gets injured in Origin lol

If you're comfortable with the risk then go for it

The risk is 100% in the risk of the unknown next week mate you are right.

This stage I’ve probably got to just go for it

Means I can probably use both trades next week for further upgrades

Ie: Nofo-Ponga now then

Brailey - Haas
Turpin/Macca - Fifi

I'm considering the same, as it looks the best way for me to get Fifita in next week.
I view it as both this and next week being three trade weeks. Just have to bring one early.
Stating the obvious - risk is whether players get injured, covid'd in the next week. Not immaterial given nearly 20 players got bubbled this week!!

Yeah I wouldn't go through with trading in an Origin player now. The risk is there but it's probably not as high as we'd fear truthfully.

If they are not playing due to bye - probably OK

If they are not playing due to origin - might be safer to wait in case they get injured on Wednesday night. Depends on what sort of risk you want to take.

Hey Stew, needed some of your vibes last weekend…things were getting heavy around here

Hi Aardvark, Stew was busy all weekend working on a new Composition for a new adults only film entitled Bananas in Pyjamas. Did things get a little messy?

Hi Stew it's Chew, I also love meat in Stew that you need to Chew.

Spoiler:

Hi Chew, Stew again. Stew appreciates the picture of the sizzling hot and juicy meat and 2 veg you just sent him. Also, this GIF looks pretty tasty too.

Yeah, Luai being out a little longer makes me think Manu isn't necessary with Burton, Bird and Peach.  Grabbing Suaali for cheaper might be a better play.  I was thinking Burton might have been gone next week.  Peach still an uncertainty but he should get decent minutes round 18.

Yeah 100% where I’m at this week.

Going to trade in Campbell Graham but thoughts on who I should trade out for him out of S Crichton or Bird?

Crichton will play one extra game than Bird but Bird will average more. I would have to play Roberts in the week Bird misses if I keep him

Taumalolo is worth the trade just for the thrilling ride. I’m aboard this week.

This Panthers report, is it 3-4 weeks from day of publish or day of injury. I always get confused, if it’s from day of injury it’s actually 2-3 weeks

Yes, it’s sensible. WTF knows what happens in the meantime to spoil your place

This has me reconsidering. Also have Burton, Bird and Peach. Was thinking Momo -> Ramien for the points play this week. Now wondering if I go Momo -> Suaali to cash him out (they probably play similar-ish amount of games from here?) to help with upgrades next couple weeks and Bird/Peach -> Ramien so I can still go for the points play. Have until tomorrow night to decide.

Edit: Burton probably becomes a trade later though so if I did this I'd have Ramien, Bird/Peach, Suaali as my centres. Will ponder.

I've just accidentally downvoted two of Stews posts that I loved. That's what you get for only using one hand I guess.

Traded him in for Simo so no getting off for me!

Yeah unless Burton goes on a try scoring run late season (which is possible) he is a trade too.  I think Ramien/Manu greatly outscored Suaali, but that's not a given I guess. Will ponder some more too.

Anyway you can do Fifi now and Ponga/Haas next week?

Fifi lower risk to get now as just has to avoid training park mishaps, which seem to only happen to Broncos players anyway.

Ponga and Haas have to get thru Origin. I’m not totally convinced Ponga will back up especially

Also some one pulled out the ‘why don’t you marry him’ last night which is my all time favourite juvenile retort….bravo

He’s the rd 17 gift that keeps on giving. He lucked out to not be traded early in the season, then turned into one of my best cash cows. He’s a chance to turn into Fifita next round.

"Jai Arrow ‘unfollowed’ by glamorous girlfriend"

I have decided to take some timeout of my trade dilemma to understand the reason for the use of 'glamorous' in this article.

Are they implying if she wasn't glamorous she wouldn't have 'unfollowed' Arrow or if she wasn't glamourous this was a non-story?

Personally, I think, being unfollowed by his girlfriend on Insta is the least of his problems.
