@dolphinsnrl were a bit off-Broadway today but some interesting stuff at training ahead of #NRLDolphinsDragons

- Confirmed they'll accept Kaufusi ban
- Nikorima trained at FB
- Katoa/Milford in halves
- Brenko Lee left early... hobbling (Is that Val Te Whare's music I hear?)

FWIW Barry Toohey also saying Ponga is going back to FB this week, he's usually spot on the money.

RE goal kicking, he's unsure, but Hastings has had a foot issue so hasn't been practising.

Thats like the only thing I watch these days fantasy wise (including podcasts)
It's digestable in the background while I am doing something and he doesn't go all in on players so it's a good take without the bullshit
But yes the comments are all wanting to be spoonfed, poor guy

Yeah I like Jamie too - just not his army of fans haha.

Probably quite common this week but I can (unbelievably) do the following:

Matterson > Tohu
Smith > Cook
Miller > Ponga

And still bank $$

What an upside down season!!

Anyone own Latrell? he's been nice to have all year and I wouldnt mind holding given I have pissed all my trades away but swapping him for Drinky gives some handy cash in the pocket. Drinky/Bula/Miller/Ponga is a pretty meh WFB lineup though

I do, I'd only bump Latrell for another posssie, not a round 13 wfb though

Yeah, fair. I just read the last few pages re Miller, swapping him for Ponga provides all the cash needed to get Hop. Probably makes more sense than punting my only decent FB

Miller/Boyd/Cheese > Ponga/Tohu/Hopgood - looks good

Now if Te Whare gets named I can punt Burbo and use all four trades

Rabbitohs have said they'll try to name him.

He'd probably be right for origin if actually required, but he left camp because he can't train at the moment (and maybe a little bit of  sulk for not being in the 17)

I think Campbell will play its Souths saying fuck you to Freddy. Campbell better playing for us than sitting there 80mins doing nothing.

I am just keeping both at the moment, but I've got Miller and BS9 who are definite outs, then Tanah Boyd who i'd rather flick over Haas/Carrigan.

Mind you, after three trades, I still only have 10 players for this week. But hopefully it isnt too bad, as my gaps are 1 x ctr and 2 x wfb.

Same, only 10 after trades..my gaps are at WFB (and an edge unfortunately unless I move Lemu there and pretend it's at CTR)

If I crunch the numbers it looks like I can get rid of Tanah as well (although he does only have one bye after this)

I assume that there will be a piper to pay for having 13 this week unless that was a plan formulated right from the start and trades saved/planned accordingly...could be wrong of course

Ah balls.

Just realised JdeBellend is probably my best C choice.

I really don't understand Fantasy.

Women up to absolute carnage

Rd 13 planning obliterated

Trades running out

And crazy origin teams

Panic mode

That Nikorima news is really something...I don't know if it's bad or good

Milf too 'prosperous' to play FB these days and don't want to risk Isaako?

A Billy Smith to Connor Tracey sideways shuffle does give some much needed WFB bye coverage for Round 19, assuming Tracey is named for the Eels.
Could even pull the trigger early this week if Bird isn't named TLT, and just take the quick $100k from Billy.

Milford halves could be bad for I Katoa kick metres?

I'm looking at Tohu. Any reason not to? Had to trade him out earlier in the season due to the knee... guess that's the risk? He's a set and forget otherwise.

Honestly, he's exceeded what we have all hoped for this year re: price imo. Just annoying the changes are happening now.

i just looked at the nsw team all seems normal then i see utoi at no. 19 that was not expected

Chanel Harris-Tavita will be rejoining the Warriors in 2024.

I’m bringing him for Matto. Forced Trade but not mad at it!

What positional updates are we expecting - Post Round 13?
