What about people who play him at wfb? Haha centre is the least of my problem and you are right Burton/Aitken are options too

To be honest in my situation I have Penisini,Tago,Talakai,Koula that can cover centre and Hynes,Papy,Koula,Lee at WFB
In my example it would be May vs Penisini out and the latter would be playing and potential to earn still
Happy to wait as that trade doesn't need to happen and would prefer to keep May
Its simply an option, and perhaps we will know more before the panthers game

Need a downgrade this week.  Him or Tass, not too sure.  Tass marking Staggs I think.....

I know lots of players play injured, but Haas coming off during the game last week, not finishing training sessions last week and playing Origin tell me it's time for him to go. Also, the fact that they played Haas with that injury says that they don't care enough about him to let him heal.  

I realise J Jackson may play less minutes due to COVID but I feel more comfortable with having coverage for mid/edg.

Tass has a nice BE vs Asi who could be a slow burn. Tough call though

rhinoceroo wrote:Doing a bit of forward-thinking, and striking how few non-origin keepers there are playing the second bye:

Sharks: Hynes and possibly Talakai

Storm: all the clear keepers (Munster, Papi, Grant) are Origin. Possibly Hughes.

Knights: nobody non-origin

Souths: Cook, Murray (ie. nobody non-origin)

Tigers: Hastings if it's not a mirage

Eels: iPap, Mahoney, possibly Moses and DBrown

Broncos: nobody non-origin

Dragons: Lomax maybe

wolfking wrote:Someone talk me out of it, but I'm considering trading Cook.  Made 140K, seems to have slightly over achieved getting past 900K, locked in for Origin, have Randall and Starling already and can turn him into Tolo and then turn Ilias into Hastings, getting another round 13 gun and what is looking like a keeper half.

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.

The strategy seems sound to me but personally I have bigger problems than the guns performing how we want them to. Assuming you planned to get rid of him over origin anyway downgrading to Lolo who should get within 10 points for 200k less + plays round 13 seems fine

Based on the serious lack of options for bye 2 anyone in with a chance at overall should be going heavy at bye 1. Probably want 15+ to make up for the ~10-12 players you will have for bye 2

Fifita to Lolo is pretty much locked in in my mind. Problem is if I don’t use my 2nd trade I’ll be fielding Ilias most likely and having to loop in one of Koula,Vailea or Lee if I keep Jones. Bear in mind I also have to play Coates in my 17(hasn’t been a problem the last fortnight). Should I take a punt on Elliot or is there someone else I should take a punt on? I have 53k after the first trade

Brandon Smith, Tuilagi, CNK if you can trust his job security, Will Smith?

Thanks mate.  Asi has the DPP which is handy and I'm a sucker for round 13.  I've always thought he had potential when playing for the Cows so I think he'll have a good crack.

16 base vs Raiders. 12pts from 2 try assists. I feel he's a mid 20s scorer next few

Third option was do the Haas to TPJ and Jones to Turbo trade, but delay TPJ for one week and bring in Elliott instead. Frees up a wad of cash so Thompson/Ilias/Taafe could become TPJ next week. I'd be playing Elliott for the foreseeable future though.

Any thoughts welcome.

I see that, but to have 2 TA's in a team he joined that week is a decent effort.
