    Who is more urgent tradeout, Randall or Tuilagi?

    Randall probably better chance at holding value this week isn't he

    Yeah, Randall's minutes weren't great but surely AOB doesn't give Crossland that many minutes again.

    Gonna be tempting at that price post Round 13. Should get plenty of time over the Origin period. Problem is that he hasn't actually been scoring or playing anywhere near his potential this year, but he *can* go large.

    I just did a quick google and it sounds like this type of injury can take a while to heal. I guess way too early to get a guess on how long he may be out for?

    This is getting messy. No way I can trade someone like Grant out unless it's a season ender...

    I injured my abductor last year and it took six months to get right…..I am 50 and just shy of being an elite athlete but I’m sure it’ll be the same for him 😉

    Thanks for the feedback RE Aitken. He's on my trade in list for Rd.13, he's currently a green dot, but was worried something had happened that I wasn't aware of.
    With my dumb-ass trade ins of Peoples, Talakai, Meaney & Taaffe, I don't need any more spuds making the Bludgers more bludger-y than they already are.

    Mahoney for Origin then? (I'm assuming healing rates similar for 20-something athletes and middle-aged forumites)

    Is your team in that bad shape mate?

    Possibly, cob. I own Pappy and Grant and have Peoples, Hastings and Talakai. And Starling, for whatever these latest rumours are worth, too.

    Just a quick look as it turns out I could do worse than holding Randall this week, and I notice that those 40mins last week are definitely his lowest for the season. But I dunno, just didn't seem like an accident to me.

    It's annoying as I was viewing Randall as a borderline 18th man type of keeper, and now he must leave my team this week. Really does seem to me like coach/Crossland have murdered his Fantasy relevance.

    Poor form if so.
    No substance it’s off Jax discord channel. They read the article and as Starling has had a big week in court are saying he could be out.

    I reckon Crossland was so bad last week, he did Randall a favour, but the coach may think otherwise.

    Isn't Hastings supposed to be okay? Nevertheless, Is trade Pap and probably Grant now before Randall.

    Laughable. He probably wants nothing more than to go out on the footy field this weekend then.

    I must admit I'm not a fan of Crossland at all. Randall may not be Harry Grant, but he's solid and reliable enough. But I know little.

    More sightings of Hastings in his moon boot today, and apparently not looking great in it either. I also believe he was in a moon boot prior to the match last week, though, so hopefully it's not a massive deal, but based on how the week's going I'm definitely nervous.

    As I'm in it for H2H mostly (but about to be irrelevant in that too if I lose again) I committed to keeping Pappy through the byes and I definitely don't want to punt Grant before I hear an expected recovery time. I've bled trades this year.

    The thing is, in keeping them I get two zeros, but I also don't lose any money on them.

    To me, Tuilagi absolutely must go. He'll get me a 12 or so (which is not much better than a 0), and lose a bunch of cash.

    If Randall maintains his two game average, he'll score in the mid to late 20s and also lose a heap of cash.

    Assuming there are no more outs via Hastings, Talakai or Starling, I expect my horrendous bench won't really score any less than Tuilagi or Randall, and I don't lose money for it.

    Even if I kept Randall and punted Grant/Pappy with Tuilagi (who I'm sure we all agree is absolutely urgent) I could still only bring in one gun and one cow, so I'm in the same predicament as I am now, essentially.

    Shit, sorry mate, what a carry on. Sorry, it's as much therapy for me, seeing it typed out, as it is trying to explain myself, lol.
