Ffs this is worst case scenario for my team with him and Aitken...

Pls don't tell me this mean Aitken goes back to CTR? Surely not when they have Pompey and stuff?

Yeah could be danger for Aitken, especially with DWZ also out.

A good chance it's Rua Ngatikaura

He looks like a solid young fella (pretty much already has an NRL-type build), but is pretty raw in the finer aspects of the game (decision making etc).

Be prepared to hear the name Brandon Smith mentioned every time the commentators talk about him - it's 2022's Damien Cook the former champion beach sprinter

Will keep adjusting over next few rounds until scoring settles down.

I concur.

Lolo $1k rise...keep that sweet moolah rolling in baby!

I have severe FOMO with Tago and Tuilagi.  In saying that, Tago yeah, probably settles closer to late 30's and whilst Tuilagi looked great, not convinced Garner doesn't take his starting possy.

Looks like Tuilagi could score just as well with 50 minutes on the EDG off the bench, with Garner moving to MID.

I think I'm set on trades for now.

Cheese -> Liam Martin, seems like he has 80 mins locked up on that edge, and he'll be even better once Cleary's back.

Vailea -> Nanai, Nanai looked the goods, and Vailea has no money to make after a low score and now injured for at least a month.

Team after trades: $2k bank

Randall
Haas, Ipap, J King
Fifita, L Martin
Munster, Schneider
Tago, Penisini
Teddy, Papy, Critta

Bullemor, Nanai, Tuilagi, Russell (looper)

Coates, M King, Ilias, Billy Smith

@MTB I think your calculator might be broken?

Example:

Payne Haas BE is around 40 (on your site) I type in a number into the predicted average and pretty much no matter what, he is losing money.

Hold Coates! Running at Taane Milne and with Munster back, this matchup will be gold for him.

He needs a try to hit 22!

Don't mind saying these early season injuries are extremely unpalatable

Bugger. The hits keep on coming for the Plodders and Nuffies

Wow only one player with A minus break even

Russel to tago

Not sure to go

Tolo to Hass or
Valaei to steeling

Fark. Going to wait until TLT then. It would be an unwanted trade but if Aitken does go to CTR then no way I'm holding him.

Not sure that Martin has 80 minutes locked up. Sorenson was playing MID. Likely a very different bench next week, without the late change.

i have a potential loop then. No point in selling him I guess.

mtb looks to have Haas's BE calculated as 117

Assume there's just some crap left over from 2021 in there

Don't see why another mid coming in to replace Leota affects Martin. That is definitely over thinking it.

Amone > Jing
Welch > Clifford via Mann.

Seems pretty straight forward until Smith is dropped at CTR

Sorensen would be taking Kikau's minutes though?

not referring to that, was the late out for Eisenhuth that moved Sorenson to the middle.

I still expect Sorenson to have the Martin role, if Eisenhuth wasnt a late out. Instead he took the bulk of the MID bench minutes.
