I have to play one of them because of Cheese having the bye (Unless I hold Doueihi for a week)

Anyone watch the Warriors game on the weekend. Did Tohu play a different role than the first two games (thus a lower score) with the addition of Tevega?

Thanks in advance

Don’t think it was Tevaga related but he was moved out to the 2nd row when Barnett got injured.

TLT pretty much confirms my earlier trade thoughts. Just need to decide which half to get..

Doorey -> Lemuelu
Doueihi -> SJ/Burton/Fogarty

Around $240k in bank for Trindall to Brailey next week

Thanks mate. When Ford got injured in RND 2. Did they not do the same thing?

Warbrick in my 17 too this week for Ted. HSS may also feature if IKatoa doesn't suit up or scores like crap. Holding out hope that Trindall gets a last minute start and can sub him in for Teddy at 17.

Iirc Curran replaced Ford on his edge then

Well, you did mock the Fantasy Gods with your anti Carty avatar

I don't see him scoring a 50 so the avatar stays!

Don’t stress mine is the same but Doorey over HSS.

How many minutes Fifita gonna get mate?  Bench looks solid for him.

Good question it’s a hard one. I don’t think that will be the bench though I have a feeling Duncan will come in for Ta’affe. It’s possible Keaon does shift to middle mid game as well. You would still think DSF gets around 40mins but tbh I have no idea. Sele back next week keep in mind.

Trading Doorey to Hands allows me to upgrade Doueihi to Cleary.

All aboard the Hodgson death ride!

Does Hands get a run around this week? BA doesn't seem to be aware that he has an interchange bench at the best of times, this week I'd be surprised if he used 2 of the guys on there

Teddy also averaged 40 in the first 6 games last year, and then 63 in the remaining games after that. Have a guess when I sold him last year

I doubled down and traded him in that week to put my money where my mouth is

I imagine those will be fairly popular trades, I'm planning to do the same.

HSS vs Newcastle. I might wait a week on Lemuelu and get Turbo so I don't have to play Warbrick AND AKP in 17

It’s a very fair point but surely BA has learnt from the first 3 games of the season.
Not using the bench probably cost him at least 1-2 wins.

If he scores a try and gets his $ going I'll be overjoyed but he can still sit in my emergencies this week (unless I change my mind about the Lemuelu trade of course )

My gut is to get Turbo and Lemuelu in ASAP but by trading Doueihi (not sticking around in that house fire) I'm going to need a decent half to pair with Cleary.

Option 1: Doueihi + Sutton > Turbo + Half (Moses/ARey/SJ)
Option 2: Doueihi + Sutton > Lemuelu + Half (as above)
Option 3: Doueihi + Sutton > Lemuelu + Turbo and run Boyd as a half for one week (no cover for him and then also no HOK cover for Robson).

I want option 3 to not miss out on Turbo, but don't want to do option 1 as I might miss out on some good Lemuelu scores in CTR. At this stage I'm thinking:

- Lemuelu outscores HSS by 20 points on average
- Turbo outscores Warbrick by 40 on average
- SJ (et all) outscores Boyd by 20 points on average

Thinking of it that way makes me think I should go with Turbo + Half as having Boyd cover 2 positions is quite valuable, and getting in Lemuelu early only appears to have a $$$ effect on my team rather than overall points.

Can I get some feedback on these musings? Feel like I'm missing something!

Yeah other than the outlier game where he scored a try, TA, 2TBs and career high 8 TBs for his 68 on the wing, his next best is 36.

4 games at CTR now for a 24 average and looks pretty unlikely for a try from what I've seen unless he falls on one.
