Was going to make a Sharks joke but felt it was still too soon....wait a minute



EDIT : Beaten to it...it's almost like SI has whipped up some AI surveillance software to monitor the forum making sure nothing crashes and no low hanging fruit goes unpicked

pretty sure I’m the low hanging fruit.

With all this resting of SOO players, I'm down to 18 playable faces.
Turbo becomes Hynes.
Teddy becomes Dom Young
Can still play looping shenanigans with Cleary for a free look at Verills, and then move to Robati.
Good times Ay.

Just catching up (work interfering with NRLF today). Teddy out eh? looks like Schoup Dog gets another run this week.....lightning can't strike twice can it?

One more rest and I could be in trouble this week...still gonna stick with my planned trades

Don’t go too crazy Fifita (surely Hynes + Schuster/Gamble scores more than Fifita right??)

Hynes is never a sell as long as Papy out

Was going to get savage but he plays early in most rounds so doesn’t hold any value as a red dot when he becomes one

With Teddy & Turbo out, and carrying Simo, down to one active WFB (Hoppa - don't ask!):  
Hopefully, just one last kick to remind me of my trade regrets.  I think this means no Fifita now.

I'm just amazed that buying Hoppa didn't even make the Top 3 trade regrets....

Just a quick
TU
TD

Do I lift Ron's lifetime ban for a day so he can tell us what he thinks of Souths signing Milford ?

Was going to go Brailey to Mahoney, but is it worth waiting a week now that with Will Smith coming onto the bench?

If I have 7 trades left is it worth spending a trade on someone to give me 25 points for this round and then get stashed on my emergencies?

What a dud buy starting with Teddy. Ugh.

Anyone playing 16?

Couldn't agree more. I never owned him in my equal biggest regret of the season and can't get my head around people talking about trading him out when Pappy continues to not be named.

Anyway, regarding the Teddy news, yes it's annoying as fuck, but also not unexpected. I'm actually grateful we know now rather than finding out an hour or so out from kick off tomorrow.

Problem is, with Turbo and Teddy rested, surely it makes it even more likely the same happens with Ponga? I don't know if there's any logic in that logic, but man it makes me nervous about bringing him in. I think I can bring in Schoupp first (for Suaalii) but then wait on Ponga to make sure he's actually playing and bring him in for A.Kelly, if named. So that's cool.

But then there's Ponga's high BE, against Melbourne, with no Pearce. He could score like a sewn buttock crack this weekend and be under $700K in a week or two. Only other interesting option I really see is Gagai, but he plays last game and is also backing up from Origin, so he's a massive risk too. Other smokey I did let my eyes linger over for a second was Brimson at a pretty cheap price. At least we know right away if he plays or not, and he does have potential to score well. But, as evidenced this season, he is no stranger to scoring like a beaten squashface, so I really don't know what to do is the answer to all that.

Teddy out, who cares. I’ve got Mbye to cover him.

You thinking of bringing Schoupp in too? I have also thought this same thought as you, many times.

Just hate that I'm in a pretty must-win H2H clash in my work comp where every point could count this weekend. If I was playing overall I'd let it slide, personally. Unless I was a chance at a good finish, which I personally am definitely not.

So funny I traded simmo to chambers for cheap cover then its announced he misses two weeks right after i couldnt reverse the trade

The new 'Causality ward' looks pretty slick....Tohu listed as R22 return

https://www.nrl.com/casualty-ward/?competition=111

Pearce is meant to be in doubt.

Old news disregard

Looks like I'll be playing verillis unless tohu plays.

Anyway only did timoko to haas only two trades left which will be Hynes + someone to cleary and cashout

Lucky I am bring in Ponga this week, although the whole point of bringing him in was to not play Verrills who I'll have to play now. But better than having 16.

Thanks for the reminder. I can actually do a Savage/Mbye loop for Teddy's spot. If Savage scores less than 20, Mbye can have a go.
