WTF, didn’t even notice that

Enari Tuala replaces winger Greg Marzhew who was not considered for selection after failing to meet team standards.

RIP seems like i'm getting double d1cked this week, Supercoach and fantasy.

What are you expecting out if him in round 17?

Fucking Matterson at 6, Katoa out, etc.

What a mess

Have Marzhew in a draft comp, he could've picked a better week to be a dickhead.

I brought Ekatoa back in 2 weeks ago as he plays every round and looked like a nice guy to have around.

In the Lone scout team analysis

Marzhew was not considered for selection due to failing to meet team standards after he missed the team bus the day after the loss to the Broncos.

What a prick

With that Storm bench, I'm very much leaning towards selling Ford to NAS. They're only 20k apart so doing that trade doesn't compromise my plan to target Munster next week, and NAS likely to play big mins on the edge this week is too good to pass up.

The plan for NAS would be to hold him as 17th/18th man, at 537k I think he's cheap enough to risk.

What's the go with Hodgson? Hands a rooker alternate?

Expecting a late switch for NAS to play mostly EDG, over Sims.

Matterson at 6 is great for Hopgood.

No bad surprises, have 12 named already, will probably make 1 trade - Moses to NAS to have 13 playing.

Really regretting trading Granville last week now. FFS.

Was just thinking the same, has there been an injury update on Hodgson?

Looking like playing with 12, carrying Moses (refuse to trade that bloke out) and then trading out Oloapu and Alamoti next round to I can field 17.

After Moses to NAS I have $992k in cash sitting there, thats a whole Cleary!

Thinking that with limited trades remaining, I will look to get a good solid top 20 players, to get me through until we get some more trades, and should also help a lot beyond then to be able to save trades. Makes it much less painful when a player is out a week or 2 with suspension or a minor injury.

Josh Hodgson is awaiting scan results to determine the severity of a neck injury which ruled him out of the Eels' win over the Bulldogs on Monday.

I reckon 35mins in an air fryer

Selling NAS last week looking dumb now. TBF he was on bench still has his ribs padded up and had a BE of 70 but maybe should have just held. Can't plan for the Katoa injury though

Reynolds to Hynes
Nikorima to Simpkins (worth it for one round?, need to cash Niko out anyways.....)

Would give me a full 13.

I chose to hold him and sell Preston about 6 weeks ago

Now that they are priced about 150k apart maybe I swap them?

Tukimihia Simpkins is not named to play so I hope you aren't buying him.

To hold till atleast rd20 and as a cash generator.

TU: Simpkin
TD: Turpin

My gaps are

1. HLF/WFB/CTR (depending on where I play Ponga and Manu)
Was going to be Moses or Brown
Now Gutho (at least he plays 16 and 19)

2. MID
Was Matto
Now, who the fuck knows? Maybe still Matto, maybe NAS

3. MID or HOK (depends where I play Granville, who is suddenly crucial lol)
Maybe Simpkin, maybe Hands with any Hodgson news, maybe Lolo or a range of MID midrangers, maybe I leave this blank and play 12

4. EDG
Was eKatoa
Now - I guess Bateman. Stings a bit when I could've got him instead of iPap. Other options - Preston, Haumole if I'm feeling frisky.

20-30 points and acts as a Grant handcuff
