    I think it's risky hoping VTW plays when it looks like he was plain dropped.

    I mean they play Cows in r27 who (if they continue their form) should be challenging top 4. Makes sense to rest now instead

    I suppose it depends whether they're clear at the top. They played the Cowboys last year in the final round and put out their reserve team.

    Also true, can’t predict it

    Apparently they pulled McLean out of u19 origin? Which means a To’o rest, if that’s a sign

    Su'a and Preston to Fifita and Grant this week so far. Will ponder Haas/someone to Cleary if he's named but that's 17 players at least

    Doubt it, most likely team to be playing their B team in R27.

    Would be good if they need to win to get the minor premiership. Will be closer this year than last year

    Shame they don't play first that week, would probably be better if they didn't know result of Broncos/Storm game and had to win

    What news is that? I thought Katoa could be back as soon as next week
    It was an update in the casualty ward a few days ago that the injury was worse than first thought and required surgery which he’s had. Expected to be out at least a few more weeks.

    The assumption was that VTW was just competing against Brenko, but now appears that Niko at fullback is preferred.

    I know I'm real late to the party, but after holding Robson all year I've swapped him to Grant.
    Apologies if I break him.

    One of my trades this week is going to be getting rid of Simpkin. Thought about Hands, but already have two Eels and no one wants three Eels in that final round. Then, I was convinced by Beth about Sandon. I can take his 40ish or whatever this week(trying to keep a top 5 finish in LoTB in focus), and dumping him into 20/21 for the rest of the year. Now, I’m wondering if Averillo is the answer, because I’m inevitably going to need a ctr when Lemuelu isn’t named round 27.

    Smith means I’m likely to get rid of Bula to fund a Cleary trade in next week(maybe). If I go Averillo, it’s CNK who will end up out of the team.

    Why won’t Lemeulu be named then, just assuming worst? (which is a tactic I should have employed)

    His only bench game recently was the Eels game

    Haha, me too. What made it even more magnificent was that I traded Tapine out for him. The guy who doubled Yeo's score that week, and then scored similar last week. After 18 weeks of underwhelment. The joys of Fantasy.

    Got Teddy and Walsh burning a hole in my pocket. Going to flick one of them.... the question is who.

    Leaning Edwards, but Marzhew would make the game tonight a little more entertaining

    Hmm maybe I need to trade out VTW to another CTR/WFB. Any preferences between Montoya,Kiraz or Averillo?
