Really annoys me that the Sharks have become one of the most likeable clubs currently.

What?? That’s the second to last eye defence. He’s mad

Thinking about jumping off HSS to get Shaq Mitch, Seems to have a decent minute role locked off the bench and will make more cash and score better. Is this to sideways or a good move?

Sele and Tatola both back this week who will eat into his mins, then Arrow's return will eat into them some more. You've missed the boat on Shaq Mit unfortunately

Re-thinking the Cheese stays decision. Can move him & CNK on and pick up the Hammer and Preston plus have $200k in the kitty to deal with next week's issues.

Don't love the Hammer at this price but love him more than Sloan and he does provide flexibility. Unfortunately this means Tommy Talau gets a stay of execution (but he can be used for 'looking'). He was one of those ones where I expected he would be shit but it saved a few beans so I went with it anyway.

Also leaves me with 18 greenies and Doueihi playing in the last but you have to take a chance occasionally I suppose

Probably change my mind again

Don't blame me.

Talau to Preston instead?

why not get a Holmes Turbo Bird etc.. with the cash left over rather then hammer.

He lost too much money but that would have been the go

Purely my own decision based on the heebie jeebies about actually playing Sloan

Trbo not a CTR and Holmes is pretty expensive. Bird is too, but playing LK is worth it imo.

I'm not keen on Hammer, but could put up keeper scores for 450k. I'm looking at guys like Staggs, Ramien, Talakai, Lemuelu when they're on the cheap and hopefully pair one with Bird.

Had a look at that but realise I'll be in the same position next couple of weeks when Trindall, Carty etc need to get moved on.....someone who needs to go but not enough cash to get the option you want.

Thinking about just taking the medicine now (and there's a chance it could work out fine)

More comfortable with an iffy back 5 member  

Plan has always been to let the cheap centres make a few $$ and then upgrade and it's progressing so I'll let it stew

Looking forward to the Broncos Dolphins GF

The two heads per person factor says otherwise

This poses a completely different question. Do both heads have to be HIA or just one for them to leave the field ?

I did look at going cheaper to but im just going to pay up for the keeper. Who knows what issues are on the horizon, you could get a injury to one of your guys and then Trindal + Injured guy to keeper cashout could be on the cards.

that saying if you think Hammer can come close then worth picking him up. Im backing Hammer to fall back down to low 30s and instead I have a 45+ keeper for the season and dont need to worry about that line as much.

I’m going to be the last MFer holding Cheese at this rate. All I want is a mid to make 150k and cost under 550k. While also being playable week to week. Apparently too much to ask for!

Surely he doesnt make the bench at full strength. Will be bad timing with Carty, Trindall also dropping out as options around the same time and any remaining Roosters on the bye.

I think you’ll find I never had him thank you very much

Will be interesting to see if they have a plan to make Lemuelu an 80 minute EDG, like Preston.

At least if Douehi is out, should only be 1 week.

I'd definitely like that too. Bench mid playing around 50 mins could be alright if it stays that way. Gives me SST at WFB vibes from his rookie season.

TBH I'm probably going to change my mind....Tommy Talau is really annoying me sitting there

and I'm hoping if it happens, he's culled from the team lists 24hrs out.
