Anyone think he can retain the spot once Taaffe returns from his HIA?
I Hope so

Have him. Wish Cowboys would give him more ball, seems like a decoy half the time. BE is 19, which you would imagine he can hit. Not a trade yet though, and Cowboys have great byes.
Luki is probably a month minimum away.

Also regarding Schiller, still tempted. However, will need to know how long Rapana is out for. Hopoate being burnt doesn't help his job security either.

nrlphysio: Jordan Rapana will miss 6-8 weeks - requiring surgery on a meniscus tear.
Was a chronic issue that flared up in Round 5 - purpose of surgery is to go in and remove damaged portion of meniscus. Can have long term implications with meniscus acting as shock absorber in the knee.

All that is probably true based on what we've seen so far this year, and would make a lot of sense, if the coach was 12 years old.
To each their own, but from where I'm seated Cook and Murray are the only two guys in that team who at least look like they give a shit each week. Maybe a couple of others, but making an example of one of these two doesn't make sense at all to a logical mind.
I wasn't assuming managerial competence, or guts, but trying to explain desperate and form-undeserved moves. But like at the Tigers over the last few seasons - I wonder how much is the manager, and how much is Board/CEO undercutting management and muddying waters.

Taaffe was actually one of the Bulldogs best at the weekend. Don't see him getting dropped now.

I can get 17 if I double trade, ended up doing Gutho in instead of Talagi after Teddy went down…
Is there any hope Cook comes onto the bench on game day?

Ah shit. Now I have to actually decide between Iro and Stewart.
If I trade Iro in he gets dropped next week for Talakai, if I leave him he stays all year for a 42.65 average

If I could turn back time, if I could find a way. I'd go back and not sell Hosking last week

This was the week he would get dropped for Talakai.

Trading out red dots is the way, keeping red dots hanging around is a dangerous strategy, as we've seen many times this seasonForanAgainst wrote:It seems wise to save my second trade for the year, but finding it difficult not to say no to a ticket aboard the Iro Express. Chan would be the one to make way.

Rapana + Cotric out for me makes so much more sense. Cotric must be so far down Ricky's pecking order.
Cotric out was the only good bit of my clusterfuck trading last week.....I was fully expecting him to get a call up this week to spite me!

Rapana is tough as nails, he'll be back shock absorbers or not

So tempting just to get Iro and Chevy this week and pick up Angus next week for whoever is more urgent out of Levi or Hutch or Salmon or a new contender. Hate missing Angus and his score this week, but trading out a green dot over red ones could be worse.

First reaction
1. Rapana to Campbell/Stewart, can decide before the 8th game
2. Chan/Blaize to Iro, leaning Chan out but can see whether him then Blaize are late starts. In the unlikely event they both are I can pivot to Rapana to Iro instead of the above
I think I can set up a very elaborate double starter loop that gives me the best 3 scores out of Salmon, Burbo, Iro and one Raider of my choosing, but I have to check it more closely. I possibly can run it more simply just off the bench too. And then I'd be less likely to fuck it up.

Honestly, I'd probably go with the gun HLF over the gun WFB every day of the week but it really depends on who you are currently playing in HLF and who you get to leave out of the 17 in each case.
Drinkwater is the highest averaging WFB and he averages 57 (44, 45, 56, 58, 81). If you want to pay for points he's probably the best option as good byes and low SOO risk
Ponga 53 (35,39, 52, 72, 67)
Turbo 50 (54, 45, 46, 39, 66)
Manu 50 (75, 12, 46, 61, 58) gun at FB while Tedesco is out but may be short lived
Hynes averages 63 (50, 77, 50, 76)
Johnson averages 58 (60, 26, 59, 59, 67)
The good thing about Manu, is that he will be back at fullback over Origin, when you want him again anyway. Worst case, you just add him to your team and he eventually gets fullback. Best case, they rest Teddy like Knights did with Ponga last season.

Talakai could be beefing up the bench whilst half of their forwards are out injured no?
Think I’d prefer Iro in this week but he’s not nailed in that Sharks team.

Out of the curious, did you pick up Angus last week, or are you content to wait another week?
