So many posts incoming

I don’t think I can afford it unless I leave my garbage team exposed in worse ways. Or trade Haas. 99% sure I wait a week and reassess

Understand that mate but 35+ mins in previous 2 games, where there many injuries I missed he was getting extras for?

Think its just the reality of being a bench prop. He's not even first into the action from the bench.

I will happily trade in Jones.

Obviously depends on how they line up, and I don't actually know how long fitz is out.

Momoisea started 2rf in nsw cup on the weekend I guess they want to get some mins in his legs. Jones yet to play a game.

No, if anything he should have got more because Patolo swapped in for an injured Hetherington, so they had a two forward bench. But Barrett used most of his substitutions on taking TPJ on and off for short stints.

*edit* if you mean injuries in the first two weeks, not sure but don't think so. Vaughan and Jackson played less minutes than usual in round 2 but can't remember any injuries.

Lolo's dead to me. So should all the hype/propaganda around him.

Cheers lads! Appreciate it

I’ve got a 200K kitty building, Bully - Leo then have a look at Chin

Also, I assume you traded him in. That'd tip things over the edge.

Thomas Burgess played 13 minutes less than his season average. I think that is the bigger scandal

Any word on how long Fitzgibbon is out?

My Cleary plan from the start was pick DCE, take the 55 or so from him until Cleary arrives, hopefully just maintaining his price along the way and not need to muster up too much of a Cleary fund which has gone fine. I know the saying is "don't trade a gun" but Cleary isn't a gun, he's a super mega gun, so anyone who is a gun is a tier beneath him and liable to be traded.

Probably give it a week though to see how Cleary goes first.

Fifita really fucking thrusting his hand in the air to say hey keep DCE and trade me though, but surely against the Tigers is where the beast is unleashed.

Suallii 80mins for Bears on weekend. Wonder if comes in for Billy.

No TPJ in the middle in round 1 would've helped him in that game and then yeah round 2 Jackson and Vaughan did play less mins than usual. 30mins probably about the norm for King I'd expect with Jackson, Thompson, TPJ, Vaughan all soaking up a lot of minutes each week and in close games the coach probably wants them all on near the end where King could potentially get a second stint. If TPJ did go back to edge that might help a little

last i heard was around 8 weeks at minimum, but i'm not sure if there has been a definitive update on surgery etc

I traded Cheese to Tago after week one, banked the 353k, now I am going Mahoney to Cleary, provided Mahoney doesnt drop past 700k.

Very happy with those trades so far.

Have to give Fifi the Tigers game but sub 60 score and patience will be pretty thin

Might go the whole hog and captain him vs the Tigers and if he doesn't perform he's out altogether. Am sure he'll respond to this threat hanging over his head.

the way turbo has gone this year, i'm waiting on Cleary.

Down grading Angus will get me half way to Cleary. Not sure who I’d want to trade out as the other option. Potentially Burton or difi. But don’t see the point in dropping them, such high ownership and will always be good enough to be in the team.

Definitely agree with this.

Feeds into my one trade a week only when upgrading policy. Gives me a look. Saves trades, risk adverse

Anyone still not trading in Starling this week?
