I was thinking of this race yesterday. I reckon it ends up as you say, but which one will be the trappiest?

Shouldn't be trading in either, they are both traps, cheap for a reason.

Fines for Jr Paulo, Sua and the Couch

Hetherington lock, Croker bench.

Tino Junior makes the bench, Clark drops out.

Looks like a howler of a week for me. 700/14c so far.

I've missed all the action being out and about Friday til now,
If anyone could give me a run down on the key things I've missed that would be great!

Agreed. Sadly I've owned both of them this season already.

Should've got Trell. Ah well

Next season will be interesting, everyone's WFBs will be Teddy, Turbo, Ponga, then hope and pray at least 2 of them come good.

657/13(c Chin)

DFifi, Boyd Miller and Keppie to come.

Recent trade in of NAS needs to be rectified ASAP. Thinking of trading in HopGod but not sure. Can't keep gambling on him with his rib/knee.

Ponga has to have been the biggest fall in value (across multiple years) of a player that has essentially maintained an 80min key-position role.

Rd 7 2021 he was 822k. 30-odd games later and he's about to enter sub-400k territory

6 in this game for me - Miller, Crossland, Fifita, Boyd, Mofo, Sami

Ennis talking over people

What's your plan for your Titans players through the byes (given they aren't particularly bye-friendly for non-origin players)

Hold. I see it differently, their bye rounds are when you only need to field 13 players, and are the first to finish all their byes in round 16, with a clear run the rest of the season.
I am only holding 3 Origin players, Hynes, Cleary, Fifita, so can hold 3 other Titans as well. Should work out well.

I brought in Ponga on the idea that he will both miss origin, start defending well, and get some attacking stats. He needs to score at least 18 (i.e. more than Dunster) and help me win my H2H

Some of these criteria are mutually exclusive, if Ponga is defending well and getting attacking stats, he doesn't miss origin.

That’s 6 players out of 21 ruled out for 13 and 16, so you can only have 2 players from the other 6 teams on bye before your bye round numbers are getting eaten into.

I can't see them not picking WALSH - even if PONGA does have a good week this and next - anyway I just really want to win my H2H. It was all looking good until Lane got injured

I don't have the trades available to trade extensively through the byes, will attempt to trade minimally, to get a reasonable number on the park each bye round.

What time does first grade start? This is disgraceful

What the hell have I been watching these first five minutes?
