DFifi??

any thoughts, inside knowledge on luciano at the cows, do we think gilbert will play middle anmd luciano at left edge,

hes named prop but i cant for the life of me see that, any chance neame or JTB is promoted to starting,

id love luciano to steal the 80 min left edge berth

With Mann on the bench I think highly likey with him going to lock and Barnett back to edge.

Don't know about that, Friz has only ever played 2nd row for the Knights and in the case of managing a rib injury, edge might be marginally better than in the middle.

I'm going to plan on Barnett out but keep an eye on proceedings....I could just ditch both of them and be done with it

I'm on about Friz being out with injury then Mann to to lock and Barnett edge scenario mate

I’m not sure if this is going to be the full list but looks like the DPP updates are done

CHT (+WFB) and Tautau Moga (+WFB)

Papy to Latrell/Doueihi for me. Leaning Doueihi to maximise cash for a possible Barnett upgrade next week.

Looks like that's it:

Post Round 18 (updated 19/07)
Tautau Moga (Dragons) CTR +WFB
Chanel Harris-tevita (Warriors) HLF +WFB

I really want Latrell because he is a beast but man Doueihi really lets me make some good upgrades elsewhere

Really tempted to do Edrick to Ponga, but not sure if it a waste of a trade.

Based on track record of when they add players, I wouldn’t be surprised if that list was added to halfway through the round

That's a bit bloody annoying. Was hoping Casey would get CTR/WFB dual.

Surely he should? This is his third week in a row playing centre and he seems to be selected there on merit, but CHT gets it after only playing fullback twice? And it's not like he's even doing the Kiraz thing of being named on the wing but playing at centre.

I assume it's cause he was named at 19 and 20 in his other appearances? Stupid system.

Kiraz missing out is a bit silly. Wouldn't be surprised if they get a bit of social media backlash to add CTR for him.

Yeah for sure, both should get it really.

Anyone wanna talk me out of going Brown > Fifita?

Now I just need to figure out how to fit Cook, Murray, Grant, Teddy, Carrigan and Haas in my team with only 4 trades

I’m hoping this is how it plays out.

Pretty keen on Booth, Doueihi and Haas as 3 of my trade ins.

Latrell, Fifita, Curran, Hastings vying for the 4th.

Hastings gives me a 3 HLF bench
Fifita let’s move Harris down to the bench for MID/EDG cover
Latrell let’s me move Ponga down for WFB cover

Moses Suli will undergo syndesmosis repair surgery, with the usual recovery time in the NRL of 6-8 weeks. Surgery is required when the high ankle is significantly damaged/unstable, surgery involves use of fibre/cord to stabilise joint. Previously use of screw = longer rehab.

Hi guys,

Appreciate I don’t post in here a lot (spend more time catching up on the chat due to time difference/work so often miles behind & everything that people are asking are already replied to by the time I get up to date, will try get better though!) so understandable if no-one wants to help with advice but thought I’d ask the question anyway.

Currently sat 101 overall with 4(+4) trades to go.

Got Barnett > Fifita & Mam > Doueihi locked in, then struggling to decide after that.

The two options I’ve got are:
TU: Mahoney > Cook (leaves 0 ITB & 1(+4) trades
TD: Mahoney > Murray & Rushton > Booth (leaves 90k ITB & just the 4 bonus trades).

Leaving a squad of:
Grant
Klemmer Haas iPap
Fifita Elliott
Cleary DCE
Burton Aitken
Hynes Teddy Latrell
Cook/Murray Tohu Doueihi RFM
Ramsey Booth/Rushton Koula Palasia

Plan would then be in a couple of weeks to downgrade Koula to a cheaper backup centre and upgrade Ramsey to a final gun for position 17, with RFM 18th man, then pray for minimal injuries/suspensions.

I keep going backwards and forwards on the two options. First one leaves me an extra trade, but then no cash to assist with the final upgrade.
Second option gives me that extra cash & Murray only averages 3 less than Cook for 109k cheaper, but is Booth going to be reliable as a backup hooker or could he be out of the team or benched in a week or two? This option also removes any ability to loop with getting rid of the only red dot in my squad.

Bit of a long post so thanks if you’ve taken the time to read it, and any advice is appreciated.
