Think the next update is after R12 mate.

No, is after round 13 this season

This week I'm taking the Gamble of trading in Crossland.
Also getting that manu fella that no-ones is talking about.

I'm getting belted up in my work comp and need a bit of a leg up.

Would you (C)leary or Ni(C)o? I have both, but not much else apparently. Opponent will go Nico i believe so could cover that, but Chin might go large in the Souths challenge.

Thoughts?

Nico if you think you’re ahead. Cleary for a pod

Honestly, before Brailey got the season-ending injury I was keeping an eye on Crossland, he was doing some good things, I felt the coach trusted him for a variety of roles.

I have brought him in, and expect he will get 35-42 and play 60-65 minutes.

I might be wrong, but that's my gut feeling.

I just don't like Host 60 minute EDG even at 377k - rather grab a hooker playing 60.

Lemuelu
Preston (yeah he isn't capped out quite, but I want EKatoa for this round against the Warriors).

EKatoa to Manu or Latrell next week.

Good hold in EKatoa. If he’s ever going to bounce back, it’s this week

If he doesn’t go 50+ then he’s gone next week though

Not sure sone peoples rush to ditch Alamoti. Been moved around and Dogs have been poor but he looks pretty good. Reminds me of Penis last year. Has potential.

Centre roulette gets people every year.

Great that RTS is coming back. Warriors will be buzzing… including CNK.

We’ve just spent all arvo talking about a 5/8 taking less money to play CTR at a better team.

But CNK will be sad to play alongside RTS because… he maybe has to move to CTR… in what will be a better team?

I think you are right (funnily enough I said I was keeping an eye on Crossland back in rd 3 but he followed it up with a low minute 14)

Was pushing a trade to Host but I think I'll contmplate a bit longer...don't want another 60 min edge

Agree mate

He’s a hold for me. Until at least Origin. Even then assuming NULL holds his spot, you can basically cover CTR between Bird, NULL and Alamoti thru all the byes.

If you were playing Alamoti would you make an effort to get him out of your 17 ?

I don't own Bird , and there's some other guy who is popular this week.

At a bit of a loss for trades this week. Crossland doesnt even feel like a great trade to me, but maybe KISS there.

Katoa 36
Warbrick 33
Alamoti 32
Niko 27

Belated thanks. Be pretty stoked if that’s their scores.

At the moment I’m looping Ala and the Brick, but could make it Katoa and Brick instead

No talk of the 230k starting full back? If this was pre-season everyone would be all over something like that, regardless of team.

Fwiw I made the same trade so I could afford Carty to Manu

I’ve come around to the dark side and think I will be doing the same trades

Figure being able to lock in my back 7 until I get Hynes* and get a net positive to my scoring 17 as playing Alamoti should be worth it (+ Host as R13 option)

*Don’t smite me fantasy gods

Lemuelu
Charnze (good average vs Melb surprisingly)
Host (maybe shouldn't be trading him in if going to leave him out)

I think you've answered your own question at the end there.

My reasoning is just I want Manu in my side. Only option for a straight swap was Katoa, but I want to keep him this week

So then I need to make 2 trades just to get Manu, next weakest we’re Carty (uncertainty and peaked) and Alamoti (yes he’s CTR, but he’s also peaked and not a keeper). I can’t afford Crossland if I want Manu, so Host it is

I traded out Null, had a massive mid weakness looming.

The only issue for me with Null was his 16 MT and scores of 34-36 last 3 games. And the fact I will most likely grab Manu next week to slot beside Bird, Alamoti beat out Null for my 3rd CTR cover.

No thanks.

4th FB to start for Tigs in as many weeks.

Hope the lad smashes it, but I will watch first.

Plus they have so many back options still sniffing about in the 30.

TU: Captain Turbo against Tigers
TD: Captain Hynes against Dogs

What are peoples thoughts on TPJ as a JDB alternative?

Duel is nice, slightly cheaper and think he grows his mins and role as he gets more match fit
