Suffice new profile pic.

Flanagan was only dropped for 2 games in 2020, how long are people expecting Manu to play 5/8

2 or 3 60+ games would be nice to start with?

I mean come on I need a punt to come off for me

I suppose that could complicate things, do you think Host is a better buy than Crossland ?

I really don't love either but I am currently trading in Host so yes I suppose I do

Crossland went full Hodgo last week with 0 running metres... tackle bot that needs the minutes and not sure he will keep getting 70 especially when Elliot is back. Rd10 bye too so probably only two games before Elliot returns, if you're banking on bigger minutes until then.

I think the scenario is a bit different, the Roosters have looked as rudderless as I’ve seen them in recent memory the last couple of weeks, if the move finally sparks them then it would be a tough decision to go back with any quickness

There is a reason why he is cheap.

One of the chumps clogging up my emgs.

Not confident he can turn it around? Seemed to rack up a few km's last week compared to the previous week. If that trend continues and the Phins can actually turn up in the 2nd half of matches....

Anyone looking at Mann?

He's not.  Not even fucking close.

$3.3m over 4 in a vacuum is lots, but from a Souths POV you've got to consider:

1- The cap will continue to go up
2- Fox league is inflating that number anyway
3- That money is going to turn a "there and thereabouts" team into genuine premiership favourites
4- Cook and Walker will likely retire after 2025 and be replaced by Mamouzelos and Taaffe/Te Hau on cheap contracts (who can then be upgraded with the Wighton money once his deal is up)

The bloke has a CCM, Dally M, and plenty of superb rep games and covers every position on the field. It's hard not to get absurdly excited by this

.. the bloke is 30

Struggling to justify Russell over Dunster, when they realistically put up similar scores and Dunster gives you 100k to upgrade someone like Katoa next round. But geez him and Talau will look bad in my EMGs together as red dots.

I might swap to Host tbqh.

I have been looking at my team this afternoon and I think I know where I went wrong last week. I had Couchman in the 14-17s on my bench. I nipped down to Cake Oval this afternoon and, sure enough, the subs sit on a simple wooden bench. So, I have installed a set of nice leather Lazyboy couches for the subs to sit on from this weekend. This should help to place Couchman in a nice, relaxed frame of mind for when he does enter the playing field, ready to rack up a nice fantasy score.

Yet again out of trades wrote:Anyone looking at Mann?

Yep he allows me to get Haas so he is in serious contention.

Pending byes are giving me the jitters though.

Carty to Host or Mann. Hmmm not sure.

Never thought Host would be in contention for my team ever again.

But here we are.

You must be crazy. If I heard my team was signing Wighton on that much - or at all - I'd be in shambles. The bloke is an above average centre, with no clue in the halves. Ask Sharks fans if they enjoyed signing Dugan on 800k a year to come play centre at the end of his career...

Surely other people literally joke about the fact Wighton is a Dally M winner? right? or is that just me.

Finally looked at stuff and I think no trades for me this week*

Which doesn't seem right. Have only banked 2 so far, so 3 in one week is excessive.

But there's nobody I need to sell immediately (a few guys are around BEs but happy to wait and see), and while there's some lads I think are valid buys (Manu, Crossland) they aren't forcing the door down either.

Am I doing this wrong?


*No trades will probably become 1 trade if that Olapau lad debuts and I can piss off HSS.
