in most cases a lot of outside backs are used to playing different positions anyway, as well as halves generally have some hooker experience/vice versa.

its really just the teams like parra/sharks that stack a bench with 4 big fellas, that gives them very little flexibility if there are injuries.

eh sorry this is some boring/tedious chat on my behalf

As an Eels supporter it frustrates me to no end

BA often doesn’t use a bench player, or plays a few of them for 10 minutes each

These days it shouldn't be surprising to have unused bench players

If you have a back utility on the bench to cover HIAs/injuries. Then if you don't get any HIAs/injuries - why would you necessarily use that player?

Just give them a run to feel special? If your forwards can get through the game with 1 less i the rotation, no need to put your utility on the field just for the sake of it.

I'll see your 2 Eels and add another 1 (Moses, Matto & Hopgood) + Cleary + 4 red dots + 1 trade remaining.

Jenkins still in reserves so it’s at least a slim possibility that Edwards could be out with Crichton going to FB?

Grant
Hop Horse McInnes
Fifita Bateman
Cleary SJ
Null Manu
Ted Ponga Garrick

DCE Hynes Penis Avo

Drinkwater Hands VTW Colq

My options I'm tossing about all involve tossing Penis Hands;

A. Latrell and Russell.  Don't need another WFB but adds Russell who looks playable.  Latrell looks the goods too and could help fain some ranks.

B. Tino and Hutch.  Makes sense for team balance and gets cover everywhere. Hutch may or may not be playable.

C. Haas and Wong.  For some reason I find Haas an uninteresting pick this late with a bumper next week, but........it's Haas.  Wong playable this week at least.

D.  Keep Penis and Hands and single trade Drinkwater to anyone.

Any ideas or something I've missed?  Cheers all.

I’d be keeping your trades and using Drinky to loop.
You’ve got 4 trades.
Rd 27 you’ve got Hopgood, Hands and Penis on a bye, plus any potential resting that may occur.
At most I’d do a single trade of Hands to Russell or Wong.

Then again re hooker I guess you do not need cover as you have 4 trades left before making any this week.

I’ve had M. King the last month happy with him. He’s avg not far off 50 for me.

I would just do the 1 trade personally. M. King means not as much bank left whilst Russell means more cash spare. Obviously M. King has the better job security.

Rabbits21 wrote:I currently have my back 5 as….

Lemu Penis
Garrick Manu Ponga

Hynes DCE Hopgood Kris
Edwards M. King Cheese Colouqhun



TU: Keep Edwards in the loop
TD: Put Garrick in loop and play Edwards


If either flop in the loop would you play M. King or risk it on Cheese @wolfking

I have 1 trade left but not using it this week.

Snatchpato wrote:I have Kris and Lomax both injured (Lomax TBC on Casualty Ward, has anyone heard anything?). His price is inflated so I can do Kris + Lomax to Suaalii + Grant. Leaves me only one trade remaining, with Hopgood/Hands definite last round outs. Quite risky but I don't see the value in holding either injured player unless I hear Lomax is short term out. What's the thoughts?

tough one mate. I think B is the weakest option despite tino playing all remaining games.

Latrell and Haas both have a bye, and wong v Russell is pretty meh. Neither would be playable.

Personally I'd take Haas as he is just immense and Latrell can often go mia and you need the MID cover more than WFB.
