D Fifita out this week, delayed concussion symptoms

The only good part of this is the awesome 'Liar Liar' gif.

I'm holding, he should be fine to back up and not get a rest in R17/20 since he has long turnarounds in both weeks (Sundays in both weeks), as well as no travel needed between Origin and backing up (his R17 game is in Brisbane, R20 game in Sydney), not to mention he will have had this week off to rest too.

I've got him, JDB and Robson all out this week but could be worse I guess.

Solid points really.

Although, I have Fifita, Cleary, JDB, Robson and Drinkwater so.......may not have much of a choice.

Yeah with more Cowboys players you may need to trade, especially if you have more trades than the 8 I currently have before using any this week (already using one on selling Cleary to Moses or potentially Bateman instead)

I have the same group, surely Cleary is the one to go

Yeah, for sure.

I didn't realise Titans play their last bye next week. Might be worth holding all of Fifita, Boyd and maybe even APK.

Yeah somehow i don’t think Boyd is going anywhere for me this year.

That Fifita news is a kick in the dick

I punted him for SJ for the bye, but in hindsight, probably should've been Grant making way instead. He loves a missed tackle as much as Boyd, but without the goalkicking and has forgotten how to attack.

Im overweight Edges anyway once I make my trades this week. Ill be holding Dfifi, can't trade out everyone in my team.

Cleary/Dfif will have to go for some now.

Quite keen on Mofo post R16

I'd love to run both IPap and Bateman but round 17 will kill me.  Nice looking combo though.

Edit: I forgot Preston existed in my team.

What are our thoughts on Jack Cogger? Priced at 375k.

He looked pretty good in Cleary's spot after he went off, and set up a try with a great kick. He also racked up almost 500 kick metres, so he's got some base to him.

Cup average is 45, and with that amount of kicking I would think he'll get close to a 40 average in the time he's got.

Cleary out for 6 weeks would mean a R20 return, or the week after if he makes it back for Origin 3 and then doesn't back up.

Wait, I can swap Billy Smith to Tturbo for less than 100k? Tturbo up against the 'phins who can let in a point or two.

That's tempting. Particularly given my mild masochistic streak.

With a Tturbo BE of SFA, he'll basically go up by however much he scores. Billy won't do the same against SCritta.


hmmmmmmmm

He has 4 games, so will need to average 45 to make his 150. And will cost two trades.

If he had a good dpp I'd think about it, but he's right on the cusp of playable in a position where there's a bunch of depth going around.

Worth a thought, but leave it at that.

I toyed with it and if the Panthers didn't have the round 19 bye, I'd strongly consider him. That bye is the kicker I think.

Don’t have Hynes. So.. thinking C Haas or SJ

I have Hynes and am toying with the thought of not putting the C on him
