Both Sutton and King didn't play last week, was TPJ, RFM and no name newbies in the MIDs.

Yeah, I know. So where is Sutton now?

Edit: He's not in reserves, casualty ward, or NSW cup lists as far as I can see.

Ryan Sutton was originally named in the top 17 pending medical advice, however, it was determined a couple of hours later that he definitely wouldn’t play. The team sheet was amended. The injury update team missed him on their list.

@PhilGould15 Hello Gus I see Ryan Sutton isnt named to play or hasn’t been listed as injured do you know what’s up?

Think I'm set on trading out Cook.

Cook, Preston, Alamoti > Horse, Luki, Bird.

So....WTF does that mean? RFM plays lock for a while or not? Lol.

He is the lock, the question is minutes and workload if Sutton is playing.

You might have stolen my trades.

Except I'm trading Murray instead of Cook. They both have high BE's and have been a little disappointing, and both were scheduled for trades come rd13. But Murray nets a little more cash, and his HIA risk is scary with his 88 BE.

BUT, Cook has a very high ceiling, and very low ownership. He might be the only way I get myself back into the game. Not such a problem for high flying folks such as yourself.

Sutton isn't playing though, and no one knows why or for how long.

How are these for trades?

Miller, Preston Ford for Hynes, Horse and Croker

Yeah I've been back and forth on selling Cook and at this point I've swung back towards holding him, he's got huge upside and I have other means of getting Robson in for round 13 if I need to.

Golden. No one who has ever traded Croker in has ragretted it, myself included. He'll still be there rd13 I assume?

Depends on the croker

Lachlan has made people cry before
Bringing in as a half and being terrible
Then the following year people trading him in and out as a hooker before going on a near keeper scoring run haha (averillo style)

You said the magic croker word, now wait for that head to pop up

I can’t see who knocks him out of the side?

Himself.

No Thursday game ffs, I was geared up for a game.

Pinheads.

It's a point. L Croker an alternative to Robson?

I am not gonna go for Hynes now. Gonna aim for better squad depth looking at

Alamoti to Bula
Couchman to Luki

Thoughts?

Dunno about Luki coming off his second injury of the season but pretty good otherwise.

If Ben Hunt being moved to hooker, is he back on the menu boys?

Been out of the loop (overseas atm for a cousins wedding) but just wanted to mention something.
I know it's been discussed on here countless times over the years. Discussion of how much to take in the group think we have on here.

Had very little time to think/plan my trades last week. Saw matto ruled out and realised shit hopgood is in for bulk minutes, is dpp and plays round 13. With rcg and matto out now plus paulo (and maybe matto) out for Origin, Hopgood should be a gun pick-up.

Not meant to be a brag post at all - obviously quite a few on here in the top 50 which is awesome to see. But just wanted to note - sometimes keeping it simple and going with your instincts is the way to go!

Bringing in Haas, Null and jdb for Murray alamoti and Preston. Traded haas out just for one week and in again. Sounds whacky but I'd planned it this way - don't want to miss out on his upside even with origin 3 weeks away. Gotta hope it's worth it!
