Why hasnt oldmate signed for the Dolphins yet? Surely its him or Turpin or both ?

Should probably punt Coates and Thompson, right?? The latter at least have a small chance of things going their way and they actually stay useful. (Eg i think both unlikely but tuilagi ~could start next week and Randall ~could play 80 again regularly)

That’s where I’m getting a bit stuck. I’m keen on Robson but not sure I want to get rid of Randall to get him. Still has his starting spot and useful.

Maybe I need to find an option that involves Tuilagi and Thompson

Yeah lol. Effective immediately works for me.

Yeh word.

I think theres zero chance i regret punting coates and thompson. Coates is peaked and thompson is never becoming useful

It's a pecking order thing for each team. I'm punting Randal (and Leo) over Tui at this stage, feel like he has a chance @ redemption. TBF it's felt like that the whole season though.

I'm trading Randall over Tuilagi this week. Tuilagi with a 24 BE, still has a chance to make plenty more cash if he gets the starting spot back next week. Randall meanwhile much clearer in that he's obviously not backed to play 80 and has peaked in price.

Yeah exactly it’s the regret, I’m more than happy to move Leo and Kelma.

One option is Butcher and Elliot* obviously a huge risk seeing as he is not even the 17 as of yet.
Another option is Walsh and Sexton. Very risky haha but could be quite fun or hugely infuriating.

This is how I'm leaning. Now to decide if I move out Talakai for McInnes or Leo for butcher/Elliott

Sorry doods, don't get to read too much at the moment, but looks to me like Max King not really a trade out target at all here this week? Randall and Tuilagi ahead of him in everyone's pecking order?

I'm second guessing it constantly, but for me, I'm looking at an order of this over next two weeks-

Thompson
Max King
Randall
Starling

And then Tuilagi, Edrick Lee and Walters depending on BE's at any given moment.

Am I wrong to be punting Max King now? As solid as he is - oh shit, mid post realisation. He plays R13 which is why y'all aren't punting him or Starling?

Taking R13 out of the equation as a H2H player, would you have Max King above the likes of Randall if R13 was of no consequence?

I don't think I can take it. If I get him a back will be injured this week, Hammer starts next, and Oldmate on the bench

So Robson doesn't play 80 by default because a back goes down and Hammer starts? Where's the logic in that?

If Thompson is out this week that surely should help Ming. Round 13 is the reason everyone is keeping him. Plus he's a MID, a decent scoring MID, not a Leo MID.

I think the Hammer starting next week and then Granville coming into the 14 as a result

Yeah I know, but then why does that automatically mean Robson isn't an 80 minute hooker?  If Payten wasn't keen on playing Robson 80 the last few weeks, he'd have Granville there already, no?

If he comes on the bench, it doesn't automatically mean Robson gets subbed. He's already playing a full game and making the coach happy.

If Granville is on the bench, you'd assume he takes minutes of Robson - As seen in the first five weeks of the competition and in previous seasons.

Depends how robsons body is travelling i guess. Coach has already rested Lolo. Could decide Robson can be given a few easier games on the body by bringing Granville back in for a few weeks. The luxury of a winning coach?

Yeah I get that......but.....doesn't matter.

Oh yeah I get it. Just had a look at MTBs site and Robson’s average is drastically different with Granville in the picture.

Without Granville: 60
With Granville: 45

With Granville in the team Robson has played a full 80 in 8 out of 35 games.

Of course, like with anyone.  It's all speculation really.  My point is people saying he comes back onto the bench by default if Hammer gets a starting gig.  I think Granville comes onto the bench only if the coach wants to give Robson a rest, not just because a spot has opened up due to an injury to a back.

Seems reactionary to trade Randall. I know, because I flicked him in round 7 when he scored a 25 in 48 minutes, thinking he was done- and he backed it up with a 50 and 56 in two 80 minute performances right after. Even with his 31 last week I still wish I kept him rather than playing Nanais, Gilberts and Kings in my 17. Breakeven still only 45, priced at 43 points.
