Looked from the sidelines like;

Oh ok- yeah this guy is decent and up to the grade, sooo…

The other guy returning from injury, ahhhh he’ll play somewhere else.

All leads to Armstrong not wanting to be on the end of a few hidings, but prob safe enough for now

Makes sense. Great for Weekes and possibly Strange.

The guy that was due to come back following injury was Hopoate. Looks to be their first choice fullback, at least until Rapana is back.

That makes me vomit as a Raiders fan…

THAT’s what got you vomiting hahahahahaa

I’ve still got my head over the bowl realising that our NRL halves are Strange/Weekes

precursor wrote:Bateman a good pickup but don't really need another EDG. MID DPP would be handy. If hes only playable at edge i'm not sure he's any use to me over the byes as someone who already has KPP, Blore and Angus (unless he makes origin).

Have the same 3 EDGs before Bateman. Big question we have to ask ourselves is percentage chance of MID DPP in R14 as then he becomes great bye option

Toohey said he'll be playing Jersey Flegg to ease back whatever that means

Toohey is no Lang though

I'm thinking about punting dud trade Sorenson straight back out for him. Might make up for the shittos I'm having to play.

Might just grab Bateman or Garrick though and use the cash to upgrade the shittos next week, until more injuries strike.

Was just thinking wouldn't mind a Sorensen update but it would probably be worthless from the Panthers. Saw somewhere it wasn't meant to keep him out long but if he misses another few weeks it would be hugely frustrating carrying $614k dead weight.

I'll be holding and hoping he's back next week, will need him for rd13.

I think it’s a bit of a calculated risk in the hope that if you get him, he gets dpp. He’s a proven gun for mid 600,s. if he doesn’t then you’re stuck with 4 edges. For what it’s worth I’m sitting with the other 3 and taking the risk.

Gutho > Armstrong
May > Bateman
Kris > Garrick

Hopefully improves the team, it needs it

Maybe keep May and trade Salmon instead.

Wonder if Kris might actually play fullback.

Not that it helps his fantasy scoring, it's actually much worse.

Just able to wriggle it but close to Origin, have Hynes and SJ anyway. Smithies dump could allow it. Best to sort the fires probably.

Sorensen to Jolliffe maybe ? No 13 though

Hopefully it is just a couple of weeks for Sorenson rather than a couple of months. Such a fucked trade instead of grabbing Bateman, Plath or Jolliffe last week.

Got a few putting their hands up this week. Gutho, Chester, May and Strange all candidates. If DCE's out, holding Strange and giving Garrick another week might be okay. Could be a bloodbath if DCE's playing though.

Probably grab Plath and Armstrong for May and Guth. Then a few options for the 3rd. Zorro to Cleary, Strange to Garrick, Chester to Garrick/Bateman/Jolliffe/AFB. Atkinson as a cashout next week perhaps.

Similar trade-ins, just deciding between Plath and Bateman.

I really can't decide who to flick out of Chester, Smithies, Strange and Salmon. They're all just spud enough I don't want them around, but just playable enough none of them are crying out to get gone (except Chester).

I really thought they’d just let Demetriou get smashed v Panthers and then have new coach take over but apparently not
