How important is money in the bank?

Option 1: Gordon and Mansour +108k
Option 2: Gordon and Munster + 48k

And let's go captain Sammie for a change!

Not sure Sam's a captain candidate this week. Coming off an injury scare even for the benefit of precaution I don't think we can be expecting 70-80 from him.

I know I know, it's about points not minutes, but still.

Plus playing FRF

Okey dokey, cheers guys.

I have your names written in my notepad, haha I'm joking.

Guess it's back to boring old Cam since no one else can be trusted 

Do I need Blaw when I have

Surgess, Woods, JTurbo
Merrin, Taupau, Turner, Cartwright, Rochow, Saifiti

With the likes of Turner, Cartwright, Rochow, Saifiti nearing cashing out and upgrading to guns in a week or 2

should I concentrate on getting a big upgrade in the CTR or WFB instead this round?

Hunt outscored Milford in 19 out of the 23 games they played together last year and are essentially the same price ATM. I know which one I would take

Any late mail links knocking around? Looking for a lead on Cartwright

Tedesco just scored 56 in a team beaten to nil as a fullback

Oh I was one of the stupid ones not to have him, hence my scrambling to patch up my WFB area on a budget. Really like Munster and am swinging towards having him.

Cam and Surgess are my only real captain options

Nah you gotta have a downgrade option somewhere there to get him.

DCE?

Defensive stats will go back up with Marshall back and seems to break a tackle every time he runs. Doesn't have any price rises in him but good POD that plays first 2 bye rounds

Only just realised there's a Thursday night game! Argh!

I could do DCE and Mann to Teddy and Bowen +80k

Don't know how much I trust that, really can't bring in another player that could be a red dot in a few weeks.

if Bowen gets a decent run he could be the next Hymel Hunt, you never know

or he could be the next Curtis Scott....

Haha you have no idea how worried I am about him being the next Curtis Scott, surely I can't have two of them

Haven't been able to keep up with the thread, but what do people think of JDB job security at lock?
I'm thinking of Cartwright > JDB.

he's played big mins every game so far this year. it wont change. he doesnt even look gassed at the end of each game.

fuck it

DCE - Norman
Henry - Dugan

I thought javid bowen would be dpp as listed at centre in his first game?

Dragons only used 3 reserves last week(and the week before) and has 2 80 minute players come off injured(Aitken 63 minutes and Frizell 65 minutes). Looks like Cooper picked up a few extra minutes(65 instead of his usual 50) but no way to tell where the extra ~17 minutes went. I'm willing to wait a week and see what impact no injuries+Creagh returning has on JDB as he goes up ~18k with a 55. Still a good buy this week. Worst case scenario he gives you 2x45 point games in the first 2 big bye rounds
