If unsuccessful is 3 weeks but if successful in downgrade could be down to just fine

One to watch for McInnes

This will determine if I keep or trade him.

Friz to Haas is a definite upgrade (Also my preferred trade) but 1 trade to cover injuries/restings for the next 6 rounds gives me the heebie jeebies.....Peoples excepted all the rest of your bench are currently playing so it all depends on your appetite for risk   Strong Team

Yeah it is pretty risky. Butcher could even get close to Haas if he maintains 80 minutes on the edge. 54 in 66 minutes on the weekend (had a HIA). Gives me 2 trades instead of 1 for injury/rest. This week's ponder

He only played 80 because Crossland came on Ponga but then he shifted to Fitz' edge when he went off.

I'd think Barnett gets named at second row this week.

Tbh I didn’t watch this game, was away and only caught Sunday’s games. Thanks for the heads up. Will find another route to Murray, or even just go the one trade with Moses to Haas and wait on Barny.

Cheers lads - appreciate this forum.

Is Friz long term injured?

There always seems to be a mention of him being injured, yet there he is every TLT.

With Ramsay going down do we think Mbye moves to fullback?
Could be an ok cash out with dual position cover to slot into 19-21 position I'm thinking

I think O'Brien mentioned he is nursing a rib injury a few weeks ago...the comment was something along the lines of "I can't keep giving him more needles'

Looks like he plays until he can't which means the sensible move is to keep him...maybe

TU: MKing and Ramsey to Teddy and Butcher - leaves 2 trades
TD: Ramsey to Josh Papalii - leaves 3 trades

Basically is it worth punting on JPap to save a trade? Might just be biased because he was one of my super PODs back in 2019 that carried me to the top 150 and I therefore love him

Jpap I’m 2019 was a beast at the end of that year, in the lead up to finals. I can’t see him spiking like that again.

This comment more relates to what a good pick he was then, rather than a criticism of picking him now, just can’t see him doing much more than he is now

So sad looking at my team and how many near guns I've ended up with:

Lolo, Barnett, Carrigan, McInnes, Harris (could be turning a corner fingers crossed), Hughes, RFM, RWalsh (was looking near gun until the dropping).

Took too many risks and just couldnt get that cash gen going enough in rounds 13-18.

Yeah fair enough, as I said I may be biased

Thankyou Edrick. One of the great cash cows this year.

Trade in Jack Wighton - wasn't he your super POD few years back?

If you had to miss 1 for the season who would you pick of Cook, Murray, Teddy who would it be

I can afford 2 if I cashout Mam and use 3 trades

Murray would be my pick but toss a coin between him and Cook

Probably Murray. Think other mids can match him. Cook easily best HOK and Teddy second best WFB

I did the same thing with him at the end of last year when Laurie went down.

Could be a good cash down for Koula if he gets the job over Sloan and it’ll provide 300k to really bolster up.

Well, thank you Failhub four the extra 4 trades.
Means my final 2 will look like:
Lolo > Haas (been waiting all season to finally get him - thank you Lolo for your 19 rounds of service)
Moses > Aitken (similar. Been watching the gun 'centre' keep on keeping on. Moses started with me when Cleary was out. His last few games look like killers though and he doesn't average gun half level against top teams).
2 trades for the inevitable late season carnage.

Team is:
Grant
I.Pap / Haas / Tohu
Angus / Koala
Cleary / DCE
Burton / Aitken
Teddy / Hynes / To'o

Latrell
Robson
Elliott
Avo
Koula
Mam
Palasia
Hoskings

Means missing out on Cook (probably a season killer) and Murray.
But, them's the breaks.

Not sure Cotter is worth holding on to after reading Nrl Physios comments, saying first 2 wks high risk.
