    Up: Cleary and Blore YOLO
    Down: Curran and Grant

    Pretty conclusive 9 vs 3 for Cleary and Blore. Any further thoughts? Obviously if get Cleary would C and does no MID cover really matter only 3 rounds left?

    EDIT: Actually just realised with Liddle suspended Watson is my only hooker so short a MID. That changes everything

    Peach goes in the loop and will come in if one of Averillolo doesn't play!

    Tossing up the same so interested to hear other people's thoughts, but Cook for me I think.

    Peach Lolo Angus Laurie

    Don't really need to trade I think but Doueihi for Angus is very tempting.  Can possibly get Paps for Laurie next week though.

    I can see arguments both way, but would lean towards holding.  Angus will at least give you one score and if you have an injury/suspension of one of your more valuable players this week, then you'll be stuck with a very expensive red dot...

    Both have a high ceiling, which is what you're trying to hit over a short period. I'd go Grant for the pod value.

    Thanks mate. Yeah, just itchy fingers I guess. For a Turbo less team it's looking pretty decent I think. Still tossing up starting Hynes, sacrificing WFB cover and looping Burton, but Peach just as good to loop, and probably not worth the risk.

    How you travelling, got a few trades still spare?

    18th man now!? What a Face Laughing

    Regardless of the last 24 hours and his leaving, down Saifiti and Friz, he should see solid game time.

    I remember when it first came out they said it wasn't actually that bad and he could play through the pain. Not sure it is really worth it? I guess you still want to play your million dollar man if he is fit enough though.
    Playing through the pain is the reason for his shit scores

    For anyone that’s held onto jbrailey, is Randall going to spell him this week do we think?

    It’s him or averillo in my loop spot and as they play; I’ve got to pick one.

    Who knows. He may take 10 minutes or maybe none.

    Yeah, three trades left:

    Cook
    Haas Papali'i AFB
    Fifita Matterson
    Cleary DCE
    Aitken Bird
    Teddy Turbo Walsh

    Moses Croker Watson Verrills
    Lolo Peachey Savage Chambers

    Leaning towards a Matterson to Curran trade this week and then two final upgrades next week to whoever I can afford.

    @filthridden you're down to 16 this week right? Or have you got a trade that puts you up to 17?

    When he's played off the bench before he's not played fewer than 20min.
    He has played some time at lock before however Watson was playing in the halves in those games.

    Having all of Watson, Brailey and Randall in the team means either Brailey or Watson will see fewer minutes.
    I dont see Watson playing fewer than his current 50-60min so my money is on Brailey seeing reduced minutes... unlikely but possible scenario is Pearce or Ponga being rested if the game is beyond doubt and the team shuffling around to accomodate.

    One trade puts me at 17... assuming no one else is out.

    You?

    EDIT: Wait, yes - down to 16 including the trade.

    Would you play Burton or Averillo in the centres? Leaning towards Burton as I don’t much fancy Averillo with a supposed injury and Flanagan tacking his KM.

    Could be worse?

    Ponga is my trade in for CHN. Not 100% settled on that though.
    Ponga and Barnett are most likely but Curran and Aitken also on the radar.
