So far thinking Cartwright and Kiraz come in to fill the holes at CTR and WFB this week.

Not overly enthused by the trades but they free up some cash for Round 20
Hopefully TLT provides a more solid answer

The journos put some legitimate team selection questions to Brandy on Nrl 360. Some of his replies are bizarre and comes across as fairly petulant.

The fact that clubs can buy players up to round 22 seems a bit silly.

Hey you can buy and sell players throughout the year, why can't the teams?

I didn't catch any of it, I'm not sure anything could be said to justify some of the moves.

Rapana at 425K is pretty enticing too. Round 20 a kicker though.

Great value for 72 average

This feels like Titans clearing space for a Ben Hunt in 2024

Who are your mids that matterson and hopgood can’t get a start over?

Thanks for the reply Booze.
Harris, JDB and Tapine.
Should I ditch one of these three?

I have 10, maybe 9 with SJ. thought I’d have 12 a week ago. 

Will get out 13 because what have I been holding trades and cash for if not to make some dodgy bye moves that cause me issues in 2-3 weeks time?

I do wonder how much control he has over the team. It certainly seems like a lot.

Haha I feel this

Will Kaufusi miss any time due to HIA on the weekend?

Ummmm I see your predicament.
I am not the right person for looping but perhaps that might be an option?

Nrl physio said it depends if he’s had 5 concussions in his career.

Was Cat 2 so he'll have to go through protocols during the week. Being Sunday, you'd think he'd be okay by then.

Huh, I did not know this.

So I'll run out of trades in round 21 and they get four extra? Ridiculous.

Even as a Cat 2 HIA it still requires the 11 day stand down if a concussion is confirmed. However an exemption can be sought if a range of criteria are met (no symptoms the day after, number of recent concussions, number of concussions in career etc)

Supposedly the exemption is meant to be "exceptional circumstances" only but who knows how that's being enforced

Yeah, I agree. Would normally have benched Tapine but his 85 in 60 mins with no meaties suggests he may be in the mood for a run of scores.

My team for reference:
Boyd
Tohu / JDB / Tapine
Hopgood / I.Papalii
Johnson / Hynes
Lemuelu / Talau
Bula / Ponga / Brimson
Koula / Drinky / Robson / Manu
Moses / Matterson / Batman / Fainu

I guess I could run Fainu (Mid) and then get a look at either JDB or Tapine on Fri and swap in Matterson if either goes bust.
