Haas misses at least 4 games between now and the end of the season (13, 16, 19, 25) plus any that he doesn't back up for (14, 17, 20)

Can someone do the same missed rounds for Dfifita please.
Thanks

It does make sense that Butters doesn't like Oil. It's his deadly rival and ultimate nemesis

Fifita only misses 13, 16 and 19, plus any rests in 14/17/20. His turnarounds are 3, 4 and 4 days respectively so looks good to play, and he has a history of backing up.

Titans remaining byes are 13 and 16 (in fact they're the first team to be done with byes)

Yeah I remember seeing this popup (android app) but I didn't really read it...did think after I closed it that I thought it might have said something along those lines. But dismissed it as the rules they published were quite clear.

I managed to get it to come up again. The exact wording is:

"Put 'em on the pitch - In R13 only the 13 players on the field will contribute to your round total. Auto-emergency rules do apply."

So it's all good.

At least at fullback he won't be defending in the line and a chance of goalkicking
200k cheaper than Isaako too so a direct swap with alamoti

If VTW starts (first game helps) then he's in for Miller, otherwise coin flip Ponga/Garrick for mine

After 4 trades this week I’ll be left with 15 trades and this team. 

JMK
Horse, Elliot, Sele
Hopgood, Carty
SJ, Niko
Bird, Lemmy
Teddy, Manu, Bula

Cleary, Hynes, Carrigan, Boyd
Preston, Loiero, Perham, Oloapu

Carrigan, Sele and Niko will be on the block next week and hopefully makes things interesting with 120k in the bank

Well turns out I just can't read properly. Sorry team, as you were.

What's he on the bench for? Bench prop?

Cheese + Alamoti out for Garrick + Isaako

Team for the week is

Robson
JDB Horsburgh Tapine
Hopgood Luki
Moses Johnson
Bird Lemuelu
Drinkwater Isaako* Garrick*

Cleary,Hynes,IPap,Tedesco,Oloapu,Nikorima,Bula,HEdwards

Other options are Te Whare if starting, Ponga,Marzhew,Gutherson so will see what happens

Love the trades mate. Amazingly strong side to field this week. You’re gonna be extremely tough to overtake, especially as I’ll likely only be fielding 12.

Ponga did look fun to watch, will want his spot back too
Not going to overthink it, the fantasy gods will work it out and I will go with their wishes

Jeez those byes next week certainly make the tastiest options this week a little sour on the tongue.

Cook's BE probably keeps his price about where it is, whereas I fear Ponga is going to smack his BE around with vigour this week... but looks like I'll bring in Cook this week (and Fainu to facilitate the movement - who also just has to be on the bye next week) and hope Ponga and Ofa stay civil in this round so I can collect them in R15.

We certain Fifita is a starter and isn't benched game day ?

Seems my old Sportal name of Oil Baron was ahead of its time

Cheers, to be honest I wish everyone here the best and not competing with anyone really. Just myself and even then just having fun with it
Probably go ponga instead of Isaako as he gives me 400k bank and turns say Nikorima into a Nikora for example

We will see, best of luck this week too

Could happen but even benched, he usually plays decent mins. He may score slightly less than usual but he'll be there.

Would be incredible if ITT rose again from the ashes to score a hattrick

lmao

Short lived return of Captain Isaako

That seems like a no brainer I think mate.

Might bring Tapine back as an alternative to Horse hoping he goes on a bit of a run. Stressful to own with the week to week minutes watch but has at least played 50mins the last four.
