I think the Titans are finally starting to realise that if they give him the ball, he can do stuff.

He still had to create for himself this week. No structured play designed to get him involved.

@BBowler what's your rank looking like? that team's a beauty

Will be interesting to see if reserve grade games can influence getting dual in fantasy. Rushton has only played MID and should really be dual this week.

Spoiler: it won’t

Hahaha

Still stinging you traded him out hey mate? It will all be okay, don't stress.

Yeah definitely pretty happy with the squad - thanks mate!

...my weekly team / captain selections (i.e. Hines' 43 (c), and missing May's & Pensinis big scores by having them in EMGs) have let me down haha so (only) ranked 3657 (droped from around ~2100 last week)

But tracking well so can't be mad

The reason I traded him out after 4 sub-par weeks hasn't changed. Still happier with Grant instead.

There is a precedent for it, Suaalii was given dual after initially not being dual, before playing a game in first grade.

Instead Nanai can hang around a few more weeks and I'll bring BSmith in for Leo Thompson and hope he can recapture some of last years try scoring form. Worst case scenario he seems an upgrade to the 17

BSmith for under 500k could definitely be a steal, definitely worth a look.

Helps with the MID/Hooker depth as well

He has never scored well in that interchange MID role though.

Not sure why Bellamy persists with playing King for huge minutes and leaving the much better player on the bench.

If I remember correctly, it was explained that Suaalii was supposed to have DPP from the start, I can guarantee you that the blokes running fantasy aren’t scouring every cup and bush league game for positional changes, what position the club has them listed as is what fantasy will run with until such time as the club, not their feeder, runs them in a different position.

Cheese is interesting. 3 Storm forwards due back this week should give a little clarity to his role in future - but rather suspect Bellamy is running the journeyman King early on to preserve squad fitness for the pointy end.

Dylan Walker is similarly interesting, although maybe even a worse jerk. The full Manly team back together now/soon with Schuster/Taupau/TTurbo/Harper all in the next two rounds - should mean he's able to slot into the midfield properly and maybe run up some points. Could be 150k to be made on a R13 lock.

I didn't start with Taumalolo but his mins seem pretty steady. Safe trade in option? Im a bit gun shy after trading TPJ in for his 28

Glad I held when there was a bit of sideways action to Gilbert & Cotter being proposed after the first couple of weeks. He is both a dangerous player and the main man in that pack and while he may not 70 mins every week, I definitely think he hovers between 55-60 most weeks and gets more if needed.

Hope we find out a bit more about BHUs injury?
Thought I heard murmurs that it could be finucane to prop and McInnes to lock?

Went with the ‘safe’ option of a starting big minute lock and played JKing over the fun centre option in talakai
Figured I would enjoy the game more with a plodder 40-45 vs a 30-60 as I was cheering on talakai regardless
Only cost me a 950 score haha, still got the cash but it happens

Trades are locked in for the week pending any TLT curveballs we may get in 3 hours time.

Teddy and JKing to Cleary and Talakai (hoping he gets CTR dual but no biggie if he doesn't, I have plenty of centres)

$8k bank, 21 trades (actually 25)

Cook
Haas, Ipap, MKing
Tuilagi, Talakai
Cleary, Munster
Tago, Penisini
Papy, Hynes, Koula (will move May here when he gets dual)

Randall, Jones, Schneider, Nanai

May, E Lee, BSmith, Vailea

Only a 950 this week. Yeah that's rough.

Hearing BHU is a pec, so will be out a long time.
Finucane will be out this week due to HIA (5 day turnaround)
