Tui looks decent both fantasy and irl. Might be the 'new Taufua' and manly love a "cult hero" winger. Get the feeling he sticks around. Saab is dogshit

He does have a bit of Taufua about about him. It’s a nice change for one of our backs not to get driven back 10m coming out of our end. Turbo back would only help him you’d think

Surprised he’s not more popular. Would much rather him over someone like Asi even tho his ceiling is probably fairly lower

I dont mind Will Smith but trading Sexton to him feels... wrong?

I do like the idea of putting him at WFB3 tho.. hmmm

I think it's fine, but keep an eye out that Schuster isn't a late scratching or something. Didn't train due to being unwell.

Fifita/Schuster/Crichton don't lock until Saturday, with Schuster being first. If you spent the cash freed up on someone playing earlier, then maybe don't have the luxury of waiting.

Great call re time with lock outs. Only doing one trade this week now, so will just hold off till then

Nets you 120k and is probably a points upgraded haha. Glad I sold Sexton early, I did have high hopes for him tho. But yeah DPP and round 13 is a plus

Averaged 44.5 in 55 minutes last year. Has indeed looked good this year up until injury, but massively underpriced is a bit of a stretch.

Getting far more minutes, with a higher PPM than last year. With Haas out / injury / former agent with plenty of dirt for another suspension, he should be getting some huge minutes coming up.

He is looking more like 2020 Carrigan, 60 point average in 67 minutes. Big minute MIDs seem to be the big winners this season, looking at Haas, Murray, Yeo, Curran.

I’ll be stuck in the gate with zero skin in this game.

Going to have to do it all from behind.

Can't find a way to bring Patty Carrigan back in this week. Watch him Banner.

And with that... back to disappearing

Not bothering with the byes this year?

Have 8 lined up for round 13 currently, only 4 Origin players (including Carrigan). Will add some more. Just with that can hit 12 by saving trades the next few weeks then 4 trading in round 13 and will have plenty of guys ready for round 17.

Getting near time to commence pooping in pants I reckon.

Are you worried at all this his first hit out after returning from injury and he is playing prop so they may ease him in?

Think he goes large tonight. My theory is the only reason they gave haas rhe week off is because carrigan is back.

Carrigan a solid buy but not a bargain. Probably tops out at 50 avg all going well for him. Priced 46. If he plays as well as people hope then hes an origin player

Almost tempting to hold Brojo, injury isn't too bad and Knights are a train wreck.

Will see, but doubt they can afford to. With Haas and Capewell out, he will be leading the forwards.

can anyone convince me to NOT trade in tass?

My theory is they're resting Haas because they need him to suit up for magic round because $$$

I suppose prop is just a number for this game and will probably play his usual role (Bit like taumalolo and Cotter)
Hetherington only plays 20mins anyways in his first stint
Anyways he is a solid player and should go well, nothing to lose really anyways and probably a cutprice keeper
I would say this is one of your more safer trades in recent memory, though depends on who you traded out

The previous reply were my own concerns but you are right they are lacking the big minute players so they pretty much have to thrash him
I was tossing up him and AFB to start but went the latter thinking OFH would be the difference
Well we all know how that worked out haha

I need to start two and loop two out of Nanai, Ming, Schnieder, Walters, Koula and Thompson. What should I do?

My biggest ever regret playing this game was trading out CP13 who was out for 6-8 weeks, he came back after missing 1 or 2 games and I had no way of getting him back in as he killed it week in week out, lesson learnt it still rattles my Jimmys, Im hanging onto Haas as a result.

You playing Tass?

My only strong feelings are start nanai (vs Newcastle, try alert)
