Inside running for first coach to be sacked this year?

No way. Manly have too much pride to admit they were wrong in sacking Toovey

No one bringing in Hodgson?  Can't seem him not playing 80, particularly while they are missing Austin and Sezer and playing a rookie in the halves

Not only is Brooks back but they are playing at Leichhardt. Just chucked $50 on the Tigers.

Agreed, as a Manly fan I always rated Toovs and thought the issue last year was the conditioning coaches, too many injuries to start the year plus contract drama. Once things settled the team started coming good, just wish he had of had a chance with this roster

So I ended up going:

LAM -> P. Carter
C Mata'utia -> L Brown via Gutherson (to WFB)

I have faith in Taylor, Green, Sue, Whitehead and Feeney not to fuck it up again this weekend.

Tapau playing on the edge so that he can play longer minutes? I think green is the big looser here as leary only got 19 minutes as a bench forward

LAM is definitely going for me this week, just need to decide if Carter is the right way to go

Looking at the sharks bench could bird spend some time at lock?

I would think Beale either starts or drops off (like Austin last week named in 14)

Ben Henry was the most owned guy in the comp - is everyone sticking with him until an obvious cow comes up? Unless you're trading him out as part of an injury enforced trade.

Nathan Green named on the bench - stick with him or sell?

nobody looking at Bukuya? 40 points in 45min and if he actually plays lock this week could be in for 60+min

McFadden's on his last legs...if they don't win 2 of the next 3 I think he'll be in big trouble.

Liking the look of these players which I might consider trading in over the next few weeks:

Garvey (this round depending on Lichaa injury report)
Paul Carter (this round)
Cody Walker (this round)
Pat Mata'utia (r4 if he keeps his spot)
Daniel Safiti (r3 if he keeps his spot)
Ethan Lowe (r4)
Paasi (r3)

Unfortunately halves slot is pretty set (DCE, Hastings, JNiko, Taylor) so might have to be Garvey or Walker for Hodgson, and Carter in for Benry/Green. There's always that feeling of regret if you miss out on a potential cash cow, Garvey or Walker, and it bugs you for the whole season

Stick with Ben Henry. He will be back. McFadden is actually a witch doctor.

Henry can sit on my bench untill Ado-Carr comes in (thinking 1-3 weeks)

Watching the game i thought Green did a lot more then Brown and was so surprised at the difference in scores. Im not a big Carter fan but Green to Carter is one trade that i think makes sense for cash purposes. I did say last week selecting Green was a bad option.

Ben Hunt's Butterfingers wrote:So I want to get my cash out of Lichaa, so out of the following trades which seems safest:
Lichaa --> Garvey
Lichaa --> Walker via JNik
Lichaa --> Randell (Assuming this one is not worth risking)

Alternatively I can burn two trades, lose faith in LAM and go:
Lichaa --> Peats
LAM --> Carter

Opinions?

I have gone Lichaa to Walker. I figure I will need to get rid of Niko when Pearce gets back so I will keep the cash made on the trade and it should be an easy upgrade to any hooker I want. Plus I get a few rounds to see who is the best hooker.

The way I figure it when Reynolds gets back Walker either plays or he doesn't. So that gives me a chance to make a lot of money or time to decide when to cash out. The only problem I have is I may lose around 10 points a week on not having a good second hooker and playing a lesser reserve.

Baptise on the bench has rightfully put people off.

Are any of the players listed on bulldogs reserves cover for Garvey? Or do people see Josh Jackson or someone giving Garvey a spell during the game?

I like the 1st 2 for dollars to potential points value; also means only 1 trade.  Although who knows what the future holds for LAM.  As a Peats owner I don't expect him to hit 66 every week.

60 tackles and none missed is very impressive

He was awesome last week.  My concern is had their been no injuries what Kaysa's role would have been.  Now pretty sure Peats played a bit of Lock last year when DeGois was sniffing around but none of us can be sure Peats was going to get that score had there been no injuries.

Nrl listed Tolman, Jackson, Mbye, and Reynolds as people who could spell him during the game
