If Teddy and Manu go well, you would get Colquhoun wouldn’t you as he’s only MID on bench to sub for JDB?

Sorry, should have said I'll be trading JDB regardless to someone. just depends the price point on what I need.

Man I wish I had a CTR/WFB red dot right about now haha

FWIW, Im playing Manu and Penis with Null in Emg this week as not sure if he will get 80 even if he's cleared to play.

Forgetting the bye who is the better centre scorer, Garrick or Penis.

Penis gives me $100k to upgrade another position if necessary

Just checked my spam folder...there's a lot of emails in there about upgrading Penis.

I think Garrick scores more but not by a hell of alot

Garrick seems to be able to pull points of his ass despite not doing a lot, Penis is more reliable. Probably end up getting about the same number of points but with different levels of stress to get there.

Was there a reason Hors played such short minutes last week?

its in the raiders post match presser. "he's had a big month/thats just how the interchanges panned out/wasn't intentional to leave him off for so long"

Perhaps he was Hors de combat?

Speaking of... since we're checking loops. Would appreciate some confirmation on my loop set-up

Grant
Horse Murray Tapine
Nikora IPap
Cleary SJ
Garrick Talau
Drink Pong Ted

Hynes Hopgood DCE Tago
Manu Loiero Ramien Hands

- If Manu goes good, leave as is, he will sub in for Talau
- If Manu goes bad, and Tago is OUT, sub Ramien in for Talau. And sub Loiero for Tago
- If Manu goes bad, and Tago is IN, then I can start Tago for Talau and then play either Loiero or Ramien - need to make a choice and can't loop between these two

Anything I'm missing here?

This week I am ditching JDB + Hands , and also needing MID + HOK cover

Is Yeo + Mitch Kenny
better than say McInnes + Cheese/Koro

The 2nd player would be 19th man (unless Grant goes down, as they'd be my only hooker cover) so not essential that they are a 50 point gun. But with only 1 trade left, having playable options better than not having options, so have to think about potential injury cover

While we're checking loops....

Lem Penis
Ponga Teddy Munro

SJ DCE iPap Graham

MoFo Robson DEdwards Kris

-If DEdwards scores ok, leave as is. If not, swap Kris and Munro.
- Loop MoFo & Robson at 18th man as normal.

Right?

Just to clarify the first point (which I think you are aware of but just making sure)

- If Manu goes good, leave as is, if Tago is out, Manu will sub in for Talau and Loiero will come in for Tago
- If Manu goes good, leave as is, if Tago is in, Tago will sub for Talau and Manu will come in for Tago

Yep that’s right

If Tago is in I’d play him straight up

Can’t loop Loiero/Ramien but would play Loiero ahead of him

On your post mate, I have the same situation with JDB/Hands but only trading JDB because I have 2 trades left. Don’t want to use final trade on Hands

Sounds like you have 3 left so you can afford to flick both

I like McInnes and Cheese, Panthers might just do a rest in the final round. If they play all games then you go the Penrith pair easily, but a resting is a possibility

Good point on Null. Haven't really thought about sitting him. I could play Val Meninga over him. That seems more fun.

Screw your loops

Right?

Doing the rounds on Twitter that Munro will play

Just going back to this

I think its pretty risky using one of your last trades on a guy based on a bench makeup that may not even last until final team lists.
Even assuming Tigers stay as named this week. Next week Utoikamanu should be back and you likely don't have trades to move on Twal if he goes back to lower minutes.

If you're using one of your last few trades, it should be on someone you can rely on keeping there role for the next month

Cheers, better keep an eye on that.

You are right, I thought about it more and dismissed him pretty quickly. I looked at his minutes more throughout the season. I think an option like King is better if I go that way in relation to JS. Sometimes I need to look past the current week sometimes before throwing things out there.

There aren't enough French diplomacy term-based jokes on here.
