Went in with only Grant and Levi at HOK (took out Cheese late)

Looking at using money ITB to do Tatola to Koroisau

How would you rank these as trade ins

Koro
Duncan
Terrell
Liddle

Saw Lemuelu only out 4 weeks (including bye) so Aitken is a no go I think

Bulldogs need a half.
Move Crichton to fullback, Burton to center, Taaffe to the halves.

If I was in charge of the Dogs I'd be looking to lineup like the following, Tracey/Critta could swap but for me Critta is one of the best centres in the game.

1. Tracey
2. Fox
3. Burton
4. Critta
5. Kiraz
6. Hutch
7. Sexton

Shame their pack is still NSW Cup standard...

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).

Ironically it’s now Finucane’s milestone game (250th). Big mins

Let me guess, Round 3 is Hazelton's 50th head wax, and Round 4 is Rudolf's 300th shoey?

By round 5 Cam won't have played more than 200 minutes all season!

Honestly that's the best you'll get out of the dogs backline. They'll never do it though.

Yep, was counting on him being the bolter that everyone misses in R1.

Hahahaha

My word

For that backline to be effective (and fuck me it could be lethal) you'd need a top 4 quality forward pack.

Sadly, as it stands, that backline has top 17 vibes written all over it.

I like it, possibly Critta to FB and being Xerri into centre.

While they're at it, buy McInnes and Hopgood and play them both for 80 minutes each week.

For me a HOK I think is more priority as I’ve only got Levi as cover. But with Cheese as cover I’d probably say May, Koroisau, Liddle, Duncan

I think I’m happy to give all the mid range MIDs one extra week to get more info on rotations/job security (Smithies, May, Duncan, Cheese, Saifiti, Seyfarth)

Hahaha sharks have got way too many big body middles and they want to add AFB to the mix so why not send a few to the Dogs

I've only got Cheese and Levi so that makes Koro more appealing. Liked Liddle but with Koro only 30k more and should play 80, seems a no brainer

Cotric as a red dot means I have to make one trade, and I'm concerned about Kini in my side too, but he's a less pressing problem - Round 4 will be a headache though. Considering the following options

1. Cotric to Seyfarth. Means playing Strange in my centres, and leaves me with no WFB/CTR cover.

2. Cotric to Talau. Keeps the cover I'll need for Round 4 and will still have $116k itb, but also means I have to run either Talau or Strange. Could also then do Kini to Seyfarth.

3. Hopgood to Duncan and Cotric to TM4. I said this morning to trade out Hopgood at own risk because he's still a gun, and I stand by that, but I like the look of Duncan, and this keeps some cash in my playing 17 for balance.

Anybody have any wisdom to help me sort through this decision process?

Catching up... think Tallis is a screaming buy but can't afford Cotric to him and don't want to downgrade any guns. Wong/Piakura/Sitili completely sideways, so have to let him through for now.

Cotric to Galvin I guess, but without enthusiasm.

After all the previous discussion, looks like I'll hold Kiraz because otherwise no WFB/CTR cover but still think it could be a waste of resources early in centre when Smithies/Duncan/KPP are right there.

Seyfarth? Lol no.

Sezer will be named and play if fit

Fucking loser

Sezer is available, trained this week, at 14, just wasn't picked ahead of the other 2.
Sullivan was on my radar, even if next to Sezer.
His pricing includes interchange games, a 3 point injury game and playing next to hunt.
He was primary kicker next to Sezer in the trials and starting next to a rookie 6.
Kid has talent, now getting opportunity.

Supposedly Sezer has a hamstring niggle and that's why he's not starting. So not as straightforward as Galvin winning the spot.

If you still like Sullivan next to Sezer though then fair enough, not the worst pick but I'd like to see the kicking split first when/if those two play together.

Lads sorry for the dumb question but can i loop Galvin and chan here with Fifita?

Really hard to advise without seeing the whole team. I am a big fan of team balance if you can manage it. Wouldn't be bringing in Talau if you already had turbo for example.

Yes but there’s the risk of him moving into 17 (albeit low)
