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.

Yeah not sure if Jones is ready to go this round. Momoisea may get the nod ahead for the time being.
But who knows, with both Frizell and Barnett out they probably both line up.

Possibly not. Perfect game unicorn score

If it's Momo can definitely afford to wait and see. He'll be around base price with a BE in the 40s.

Is it a unicorns score for a reason? Seems to be when he is getting 60 minutes + his average is 57, one less than this week.

Sooooo, I assume unicorns are the slightly worse than the norm on face value.

They call them horses.

Nrl Physio

Jack Hetherington failed to finish Rd 3 after subluxing his shoulder (minor dislocation). If scans show minimal damage/joint stable can see a return within 3 weeks, more complex decision once significant damage/instability present (surgery? now or post season?)

875 for myself. Bully's 6 and Ramsey 3 brought a halt to a huge score. 

Trades this week for myself are:

Lolo & Bully Out

Starling & Knights Edge Replacement In

Connor Watson gets one more week. Will make way next week for Cleary if all goes to plan.

I am very seriously considering leaving him, but really by choice.
He looks like a good pickup, but I fucked up last round and I don't have anyone I can trade out.

I am on the fence. Bullimore has to exit so need to assess his suitors. I'm not pushing to trade anyone at the moment. This week's 17 was

Randall
Mann, Curran, (c) Haas
Fermor Nanai
Schneider Burton
Tago Aitken
Hynes Scrit Pap

Jking Mking Clark Bully

with tui, coats, thompson and ilias on the bench

Had a really strong start and sitting happy with an overall rank of 43 currently.
Feel like most at the top end are going to have similar teams currently so the make or break point is deciding when to get Cleary in. Ruined my season last year by not jumping on him early enough and then struggling to afford him later which makes me nervous about not picking him up as soon as he’s fit this year, but then don’t want to rip up my team to get him. Lolo seems an obvious place to downgrade to free up some cash but would still need to trade another gun up to him & most are performing pretty strongly atm. Going to be some tough decisions to make over the next couple of weeks once he’s back.

Depending on teamlists I may look at keeping one of Crichton/Mahoney this week. Bully definitely needs to go I think.

Also if Billy is dropped for Suaalii then my plans are all out the window

Unicorn score is no negatives and 26 non base points. The 57 average is completely false as all those games 70-80 mins (10 games 74.5mins average) which he won't be getting starting off the bench or with utility

I like to put Haas in the middle of my MID line, flanked by his twin henchmen Jing and Ming on either side. Basically i'm advocating that you all set your MID lines up aesthetically to look like like 90's cartoon villains. It's going to be a long slog until Thursday, folks! Wakka wakka.

Yeah ok, that does make sense.

Has always been a solid defender, so I’m not too worried about his missed tackles. Prone to a forward pass, or dropped ball.

I don’t think there are many players likely to take more than 15mins off him thiugh.

Yeah I agree- i think its more likely that Starling builds up to 80 mins than Frawley taking any meaningful minutes off him going forward.

So if you didn't own him yet and thought he'll probably average 40-44 next 3 based on he won't have perfect negative free game every week, and probably stays on 56 average mins last 2 games would you say he's a must buy? I'm not saying I won't get him but far from definitely getting him.

933 for me this week, rank sitting at 533 overall.

Pretty happy with that considering I had to play Illias and Bully in my 17 due to Wilton, Tuilagi and Coates being outs. Super happy with Mann, IPap and Hynes. My only trade for the week was Uto to Starling, turns out that was the correct choice.

Illias and Bully to go this week most likely for T.May and the Knights edge (JS pending). Bird on the chopping block in the weeks to come. Enjoying the relative clarity in relation to team planning until Clearly busts out a nonchalant 80 and I tear my team apart to get him in

Yeah, Starling average between 50-70 mins is 44.9. Average 70+ minutes is 57.1.

Maybe still some value there if 55 mins is going to be his number, but definitely more marginal. Not too upset I reversed that trade, despite copping Bully's score.

A reasonable 914 for TheWeapons this week, and creeping up the ladder to 1669 overall. A couple of moves to make I think. Nofoaluma has been absolute cabbage, gambling on him finding form this year was a bad choice. Didn't play Bullemor, but he may have to go too.

Lockout's over.

Maybe Kobe Hethrington this week if Rikki injury is serious. Great PPM in his games so far this season.
