Other options is Ilias and Schneider out for Tass and Hastings and wait on Tolo, but the Cook idea is interesting.

I probably won't but is this as dumb as other trades we've seen happen around here?  Considering the position am I playing with fire after getting a massive win by starting with him?  We've seen last week he crawled to 55 and looks like he still could have a low game in him.  Can banner though, I know.

I'd like it better if Cook was missing a week for some reason. It's the only reason I'm considering Haas out, and the fact that he could reinjure it, and pick him up again later.

I'm assuming you mean the kick for touch off a penalty. It can bounce. But then way more likely the other team gets it before it goes out.

News Corp understands Nikorima, who is off contract at the end of the season, has been given permission to negotiate with rival clubs by the Warriors.

Mulvy wrote:A lot of posts regarding "Do you like this trade involving Elliott?" Hard to answer without a deeper look at Elliott. Minutes are hard to work out, but *IF* Ricky sticks with the current plan for a while, I could see something like these interchanges happening:

1. 20min Papa off for Starling (via Elliott)
2. 20min Sutton off for CHN (via Whitehead)
3. 25min Tapine off for Horse
4. 33min Elliott off for Papa
After half time middles are Sutton, Whitehead, Horse
5. 55min Whitehead off for Tapine
6. 60min Sutton off for Elliott
7. 60min Horse off for Papa
8. Injury/supersub interchange

Tapine or Papa could be the one having their minutes over three stints.

Giving minutes of:

Papa 47
Tapine 50
Starling 60
Elliott 53 (20 hooker, 33 lock)
CHN 60
Young 80
Horse 35
Sutton 40
Whitehead 55 (20 edge, 35 lock)

= 480

Could be five minutes here or there, I could see Horse picking up another five possibly.

In terms of output, Elliott's average at lock is probably the best predictor. PPM of 0.75 over 53 minutes just gets you to 40. This will certainly make money, priced at about 28.5 but won't make it as fast as we would hope. 40 moving forward becomes a little awkward in terms of playability in your 17. And all of this of course is dependent on Ricky not mucking around with it again.

I'm interested to hear others' thoughts on this. Have I got it close? Those that are really keen, do you expect more minutes, or higher output playing hooker? Or happy to just take the 10+ points value? Those not keen, are my assumption overly optimistic?

Step 1: Use the 1st trade to go Penisini to Tass, play him on Thursday night

Step 2: Check team lists 1hr before the Penrith game

* If May is IN, then use the 2nd trade to go Jones to Cotter
* If May is OUT, then trade May back to Penisini (playing Koula at WFB), and then trade Jones to Lolo (as I would have enough money to do this if I sell May, but not if I sell Penisini

I'm confused by the May OUT option, doesn't it need 3 trades?

Trading May back to Penisini would not cost a trade, as I own both players before trades.

Randall (hold)
Ming (Peaked) Tevaga (Regretting this) Jing (Peaked)
Fifita (Out) Wilton (Peaked)
Cleary (Keeper) Schnieder (Peaked)
Aitken (Keeper) Tago (Peaked)
Papenhuyzen (Keeper) Crichton (Peaked) Hynes (Keeper)

Hastings (Keeper?) Starling (Keeper?) Tuilagi (Cow) Nanai (Peaking)
Jones (out) Walters (cow? maybe peaked) Thompson (Cow at lock?) Koula (cow, hopefully)

22 trades (not including the trades we get at the end)

4 keepers, 2 potential keepers. Need to spend at least 11 trades to get a 17 full of keepers.
6 Peaked, 2 out, 1 peaking, 2 potentially peaked or peaking, that's 11 players to trade out. going to have some insane trades once we can do 4 a round.

This round thinking Wilton + Fifita -> Crichton + Papalii
