Bula | Sloan | VTW

Have Hands and Blore as my only other players playing, will put Hands in the halves if SJ is out

11 total for me, how about you folks?

I've got potentially 10 pre trades.

Simpkin/Hands to loop at HOK
Tohu, Hopgood, and looping Tatola/Ford for MID3
iPap, Bateman
Hynes, SJ (will play Hands at HLF if SJ out)
Lemmy
Bula

With 3 trades in hand I'll likely be playing short and focusing on the back end of the year rather than this round in particular.

Dodged all the bullets, 13 before trades:

Simpkin
JdB Tapine Hopgood
IPap Bateman
Hynes SJ/Boyd
VtW Ramien
CNK Simo Bula

Average quality isn't the best though, hoping to jag some scores. Ramien on his last warning.

Have Hands to cover for SJ and will likely trade in VTW for 12.

Strong round 19 side, nice.

Horse not huge surprise but Gutho picked makes it 2 out for 19. Not happy

Wow, I had written off Round 19 and didn't even look at who was playing but it turns out I can field a full team except I am missing 2 WFBs. I have one trade left but I think I will just save it for Round 20 and beyond.

Some fairly solid teams for R19

We should all score decent

No decent way to put it

Freddy is fucking cooked

What happened to SJ? What have I missed here?

Expecting his second child on the weekend, not sure if he will play.

Yep

Boyd
Tapine, hopgood, Joe ofahengue
Ford, Wilton
SJ, hynes
Talakai, simonsson
Bula, CNK, Xxxx

Liddle,

If SJ is ruled out I’ll play Boyd half and liddle hooker

Have one trade left and will be cashing down to either a wfb or ctr who can then be a perennial red dot if needs be

Will await TLT and prob choose the cheapest

Hilarious, just the 7 changes. Best doesn't make the team if they don't win by 66. Is anyone sure Jacob is the best Saifiti, maybe they picked the wrong one? Similarly does swapping Paulo for RCG really matter? Love Drinky for fantasy but as 18th man, he still can't defend, that should be Nicho even if he's not playing.

Very light on the forwards too.

On the fantasy front, I've taken a bath with Cook retained + Koloa + Gutho

You can almost guarantee now that they've overcorrected with both Gutherson and Robson on the bench that they'll cop multiple forward injuries and Robson will end up on an edge.

I do wonder what the plan is for Gutho if there's no injuries. No minutes? Subbed on for Best when he doesn't score 3 tries because he's not playing the dogs?

Robbo can play lock and move Murray to edge.

It’s actually pissed me off how stupid Freddy is, give the guys a chance, not this mish mash of players

Astounding how inept and Ill thought out he has been this series

It’s magnified by how meticulous and studious billy is

NSW need a proper coach and origin needs a proper contest

Some clubs do have 2 FWD, 1 HOK, 1 UTL benches, but with some big minute forwards

I guess NSW have that with Murray and Yeo. Not so much with the other forwards. Worrying the NSW EDG forwards don't always play 80 either.
