What was the deal with Lucas? Cartwright also on bench

I thought I heard shoulder injury but no mention anywhere

He got injured trying to stop the Xavier Savage try. Subbed off straight afterwards, but no real update afterwards

I think it's funny that reserve grade and trial stats are treated as a direct first grade comparison.

The intensity isn't even close to the same as first grade. May as well go down to an opposed training session and count how many tackles someone makes

Can Moses and Hopgood owners tell me what they are doing so I can do the same thing?

Here is some 2013 under 20s stats I found laying around. We should have data on most of these players for their career to show how worthless these stats are

I'm surprised Egan is named, thought he would be out for a few weeks but obviously just a needle and get out there lad

I guess I could go Kini to Galvin, leave SOS in if Galvin goes ok, or trade him to Dearden or Metcalf is Galvin tanks.

Don't like Plath when Stone is only out with concussion.

Plath with 36 points in 43 mins last week, all from tackle and running meters. Makes for a very interesting floor. Likely won’t lose money this week with the bigger role but likely reverts to the bench Round 4 after the bye. I’m hopeful he sees a bigger role at some point.

Galvin over Plath all day this week as a target tho.

Boy that was a punishing couple of pages back there to catch up on.

20 green dots and Kini.. definitely no urgent trades but Duncan warrants some consideration.

The Tigers halves situation is pretty weird, Sezer probably in and Galvin back out next week if supposedly there's a slight injury concern but agree it's very odd to name him at 14. Can have a look next week. Meanwhile would still love Koro (chose Hosking over him to start the season) but no obvious path to him.

Tigers and Knights both have specialist halves on their bench, you would think that a half is better in reserve grade staying sharp than coming on playing 10 minutes at hooker

Otherwise I probably have to trade out RTS to fund an upgrade to Fog.

Sullivan

The balls play will be starting Lolo again

SOS dropped on form, need that cash elsewhere

I'm confused are you banking on him doing all the kicking even if Sezer is back in next week or are you banking on Sezer not coming back in?

Salmon, Levi and Chan, Hutchison - who to loop

Have Salmon and Levi in loop, Hutch in 17 and Chan left out currently

Few teams (myself included) now have no WFB/CTR cover with a few fantasy relevant byes coming up

Talau looking mighty tempting at 265k

Will probably be left hoping someone like Warbrick, Koula, Ravalawa, Suaali'i string some poor games together and can be had for a nice discount

I've pretty confidently got Salmon in the 17 over Hutch. Think I'd loop Levi and Hutch in your situation

Tempted to give him one more week as I just can't for the life of me believe the plan is to play him, Rudolf, and Finucane 40, 30, and 20 minutes respectively every week, or to give Hazleton, Williams, and Hunt 40+.

But then again they've showed their hand, he didn't get the role I wanted, they won so it worked, and I want to trade aggressively.

I'm holding.

One thing I heard on the Guru podcast is that last week was Williams' 100th game. Could explain why he got so many minutes. Furthermore, the Warriors have a really big forward pack, so it also explains why bigger guys like Hazleton got more minutes than usual.

I'm at least willing to wait and see on Cam. I reckon we've seen his floor anyway and I like the look of it (if it is indeed his floor).

Should definitely be GK as well

If they run out like that, I like Koro. Can't see Sezer/Galvin spending a lot of time at hooker.

I just don't see the point of Sezer on the bench though, unless you're expecting your halves to fail. Start him, or leave him out of the 17 and pick a better utility.

Exactly.

Probably byes comes too soon but JAC really comes on radar with 1 point tanking price if he gets around 350k

Been a mid 30s guy both seasons at Dogs that could just loop week in week out

Good enough to help you pump me in L3 by 135 points








ya cunt

I've got the same lot, and planning to loop Levi and Hutch
