18th man still doesn’t play club games

Cowboys may not want him 18th man though that wouldn’t shock me either behind closed doors if they complain about that

Simi is playing he was in 19. Weekes is probably just 18th man

Also poor old Toby Sexton playing 9 for the bulldogs. If only he didn’t leave titans he’d be playing first grade

He was 18th man last week, but think he still played half a game of nsw cup.

Yeah, I think Weekes is playing NRL

He got pulled from NSW Cup

My thoughts exactly. Drinkwater will either get picked or cover Tommy Deardon at 5/8th opening up FB for Chester

Drinky wasn't part of Madge's 36.

Val, Taulagi and potentially Dearden and Robson out for origin.

More likely to see Clifford slot in to half instead of shifting more pieces than already occurring.

not too worried about Strange as everyone has him - the real problems is if koroisau is a scratching

EDIT: Koro is confirmed as playing

Just realised I can move Cleary around and get Finefeuiaki's 33 if I want.

Do that, or play Flanno?

Everyone likes a Tigers p51 party

I wish Taylan had decided to be a fuckwit just a few days earlier, he would have been a much better out than Brandon Smith

Brandon Smith certainly has the capacity to be a feckwit over the next few days

Strange out means Sitili is in, fuck yeah.

Are we really calling Charnze and Egan season keepers are after a couple of good games? Angus will always be at the mercy of Robbo.

I mean well done if it pans out

No, they wont be season keepers.

Mildly infuriating that if Strage is out I’ll be playing 16 despite having two in reserves

Why do we think Strange will be out. Was there any for the rumour?

Maybe Weekes is an in for Fogarty

If Strange is cut, is it worth using most of my war chest to go Cotric to Brimson, Campbell, or Mofo, the purpose being to avoid Sitili's score of 0.

Should still be able to go Hutch > Angus in one trade next week.

TU: Worth it (please let me know which of the 3 you like the most)
TD: Nah just cop the 0 and pretend you were playing with 16

With that said, Weekes could also just be a bench utility, maybe Starling is being cut? Luke would be thrilled.

So at very best Cook might come back but with Pete on the bench I'd think. Great.

Was banking on JD being gone and Cook going back to 80, now probably need to sell during the bye just based on guessing what JD will do.

Cook > Grant for me this week. That will mean I have traded all 4 keepers I started the season with: Cook, Teddy, Cleary and Haas 

By the way just had a quick look, Brimmo's last season playing 5/8 was 2022 where he averaged 47.

He's currently priced at about 34 which would put him as seriously undervalued. I acknowledge the Titans are worse now than they were in 2022 (somehow) but perhaps with AJ at 5/8 and Foran at 7 they might turn it around a bit?

Would be an interesting punt and one I'll keep in mind for Cotric

I think Cotric to Campbell is a good trade regardless, made even better by avoiding a 0. Don't see any reason not to do that.

Thats for the feedback mate, glad to hear I wont be too reactionary with a dud trade. Will weigh up Brimmo or Campbell, but logically should go with Campbell as I can get a look at Brimmo and see if he's named again next week.

When the Titans beat the Raiders - Souths will be in last spot all by themself
