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

Walsh still misses 2 more including bye and last game was a 7

I’m looking at it too but probably need to ditch Ipap to afford it which means making the call tonight.

I’d rank them as Avo, Monto, Kirazo.

Think buying Cleary this week is

High reinjury rate yada yada...

Mmm, random booze.

I’d actually go the other way - Kiraz, Montz, Avz

Is anyone else bringing in Munster AND DCE this week?

I couldn't decide between the two

Looks like I'm trading Tatola, Cook, Jed Carty, VTW(if he doesn't play) to some combination of Palasia, Hands, Fifita, Grant. Maybe Cleary if named... not feeling very decisive this week. Haven’t been on here much, bloody Diablo takes up a lot of time.

I actually thought he’d drop much more, but only expected around 25-30k with a 65-70

Have him as contingency plan if Fifita out

Definitely not holding off hoping he'll drop a bunch of coin, just weary of guys coming back form hamstring injuries.

Looks like I'm holding Bula

C'arn buddy, don't lose too much money.

This week really is tough on MIDs

3 of my 5 MIDs not playing, and trhe 2 I most want in addition to that (Yeo, Murray) also not around.

So to play with 17 comes down to Tino (perhaps overpaying a little after big recent form) or take a punt on Butcher, who has nice DPP
Or stick with the short term Palasia cashout for this week and hope for the best

Or anyone tempted to jump on the mattnz train and get NAS for the run home?

I bought NAS for rd16, I don't really intend to trade him out again, will be 18th man.

Just as general advice. Once you've sorted your trades, make sure you make and confirm them all individually, and trade in players to maximise your ability to reverse any individual trade if someone is a late in/out

eg with Broncos playing 2nd game, if you are ditching Haas, ditch him for someone who also plays early
And if you are trading in Fifita/someone who plays Sunday, trade them in for someone else who play Sunday (or has a bye)

Excellent advice. And after that, check your captain and vice captain are set properly. Then double check. Then check on a different device. (I'm serious here, not mocking, I get rather paranoid)

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

Haha, abso-frigging-lutely. Love the optimism.

Checkity check check. I’m all good to go!

May the fantasy gods be with us all this week.

No reason they can't! Ladder is really congested

It'll be on the back of Drinkwater. People forget he was the heir to Slater's jersey and had an unlucky injury. He was ahead of both Papenhuyzen AND Hynes at Melbourne

Listened to that Peter Lang twitter post and the official club response was just that there are 2 trainings for the players to get through and it's just purely just his own theory that he can't see all 4 panthers origin players backing up. I'm going to continue working on the basis that Yeo will play but if not we should find out at 24hr mark and think I'll have to grab Butcher or NAS then.

Also just decided to hold Bula this week, too much uncertainty going on elsewhere to lock in an upgrade for him which would also require Null to a cashout.

Can’t believe I’m actually trading in 2 Bulldogs CTR’s this week, not sure if I get Fantasy
