He's in the extended squad.  Even as 18th man he'll come in for Hampton if he's not needed tonight.

Arrow a more sensible 18th man anyway.

I meant last week. Hynes, Friz, Arrow had the bye so weren’t required anyway. Dearden could have played if not needed for tonight

Have 4 guys that I really want this week, for guys that I have been holding through to the bye. Plan to save trades between now and round 17.

Gives me a decent playable squad, with the marginal guys removed.

May I ask who the 4 in are?

Why make four trades this week?  Is it out of necessity?

Im flirting with 4 trades, makes sense if you are chasing points heavily. Cashing down Tago (to Mam/Ramsey etc) allows me to do Tevaga, Starling, Butcher to iPap, Klemmer and McInnes. Pretty hard to stay my hand on those upgrades.

Yeah hoping there's more info on Gamble soon so Mam has some more JS.

Makes sense to me to get some solid keepers in this week, especially getting 3 round 17 guns

Fair lads.  Hastings to Mam is kinda tempting if Gamble is out for a bit.  Still waiting on some concrete Hastings updates too.

Would allow Fermor to IPap too I guess.

Ipap is 60k more than his average

I think I'll probably have between 8 and 10. Have overtraded up til now and went hard at R13, so something had to give and that's R17.

Thinking the same man... Especially with a new coach at WT... who knows, he may even want Dooie back in the halves

Doesn’t concern me. Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride.

Your team value is probably high enough that you can shop off the top shelf, so fair enough.

I've been against paying 900+K for him this whole time but would be better than watching Fermors score slowly crawl up for 80 and riding him hard just to reach 40 points by the 79th minute.

Why the fuck do we have a NSW Police v QLD Police game of all things we could be playing as origin build up?

According to NRL Physio they're working out whether it's a Stress reaction or Stress fracture.
Stress reaction likely 2-4 weeks return to play
Stress fracture 6-10 weeks

Mam's base so far seems to be about 20 points (I recall he was on about 10 points at halftime against the Titans),
He has two tough games in R14 & R15 against the Storm and Cows where it may be a bit more difficult to get those 40/50 point games through a try or try assists - which could stall those cash gains quite quickly.

So I found a fun site...

Tom Dearden punches well above his weight defensively.

Peaking like the '05 Blues side. The whole origin camp was get on the beers at the pub. You can consider me an athlete at this point.
