Souths with 2 more byes would be a turnoff for me (both those players unavailable in tough R20)

MattNZ’s boy Sami with no more byes? Would probably just find a way to get Bird by R19 tbh

With my team setup, I think I can handle it, as JDB is the only guy with a bye in R20 that I intend to keep past that week (got Tatola and Liddle pencilled in as sells), and once Tatola's out, CG would be my only Souths player for their R26 bye, so that wouldn't be too bad.

A lot of people will struggle more than me in R20 as they have guys like Horse, Tapine, Cook etc.

Also Bird has the bye in R20 too so he's not much better while being out of my price range. Not convinced with Sami, and the WFB dual is no use to me as I already have enough WFB cover with Manu's dual and Ponga as well.

EDIT: Did a bit more digging on Sami, may end up going with him after all

Haven't really been following the Titans closely, whose spot did K Haas take?

I’ve got $522K, five trades, and a full 17(that does include Luki ) 

Missed all the games this weekend because I was at a comedy show and work. What’s the deal with Luki? Read on the match notes something about an hia. 

Also, great match note in the Tigers/Storm game about Twal.

Stimson's spot.

In round 14, he was named to start alongside Fifita and Stimson got benched (Fifita and Stimson later swapped 1hr before kickoff).

The important thing is that Stimson had been playing right edge all season up to that point, but that week (and the week after when Fifita rested), he played on the left edge with Klese Haas having the right edge.

This leads me to believe that Klese has finally taken Stimson's spot on the right edge, and that Stimson will move back to the bench when Fifita's back (this week if he backs up or next week if he doesn't)

Luki copped stray elbow and possible facial fracture

Hmmmm. Ouch. I appreciate that bit of information coming my way. I’ll have to see what happens with team lists tomorrow.

Luki to klese and oloapu to Munster, thoughts? Time to bring in bottomed out keepers with no byes after round 19.

Loiero > KHaas
Oloapu > Munster
Perham > Grant

Gives me 18 if Teddy/Carrigan back up. Also have NAS and JFH I don’t like owning already haha

Oloapu and Loiero to Munster and Brimson with $1k left

Hmm....Olo and Alamoti with 148K doesn't do a lot lol. Damn shittos.

Shittos are the worst

Just looking at trade in options, did anyone get on AFB at any point?

It's properly snuck up on me that he's over 800k averaging nearly 60. Made over 200k too, would have been a great buy if anyone got on at the right time, but he's totally flown under the radar.

Started off fairly slowly averaging 49 over the first 6 rounds, so I guess no one really took notice. Then from R7-15 he's averaged 65.2.

Almost certainly overpriced now, but what a POD he would have been if you got on at the right time.

Not in fantasy but I did get on him in VSDT, so I have definitely noticed him getting out of reach in the other formats.

Tino's another one that's flown under the radar, bottoming out at 681k in round 9 (averaged 47 up to that point), and then averaged 68.4 since then, to be at 813k now.

Yeah we all got fucked Doggie style with Hedwards, Oloapu and Alamoti.

I've chucked Haumole at 608k on the good value list, but you'd be 4k short if getting Klees. Not much gun-wise at 604k and less.. Kinda paying a premium for Penis or Guth for Rd 19 and missing next week. C Graham maybe.

As long as he backs up (so take that how you will), Liam Martin might be a value pick. 504k right now with a BE of 32, but has averaged 55 this year in games over 50 minutes, and just generally passes the eye test.

Obviously is in Origin so risk of restings there, but at 504k he may be worthwhile for anyone trying to get rid of shittos

Yeah could be worth a punt. Reminds me of Brandon Smith though with the reckless (to himself) style of play. Grand Angus another, but might just stay a benchy to keep too much pressure off. Sitili went down, not sure how bad. Nat might move back to EDG with Victor returning temporarily from suspension.

First thought was Penis but could wait until 19. Well see what team lists dishes up before worrying I guess.

NRL injury reported updated.

- Luki out several weeks with scans confirming facial fracture.

- Still saying Keary suspected fracture, old news it seems.

- Dolphins hopeful that JMK and Brenko will be fit for Rd 17. Bennett's prepared to dig up Brenko's corpse if he has to.

- No update on Hodgson or mention of Sitili's lower leg/ankle injury.
