overall rank 146 rn and feeling great.. on the other hand only 18 trades left is the opposite of cool

nice team i can't see a way to get garrick you have lomax which is just as good...1 suggestion though is use talagi in a loop

Long term I only wanted May because he was a potential cut price keeper. While he may score well this week he has shown he won't be a keeper. I'm punting him into the sun

This is the question, May has made enough money to fulfil the job as an early season cash cow but the reality of the Roosters rotations means that he can't be either a season keeper or even a reliable bye cover option unless a lot of things go right(plus you can by a $300k bench prop to score you 20 points in RD 13)

The likelihood is that he is going to leak cash....even this week there is no guarantee he gets way more minutes.

If Radley comes into 2nd row, Butcher goes into the MiD rotation with Whyte and Watson. If Radley goes to lock Watson probably plays more mins in mid rotation.

I will now be proven wrong

I don't think it's worth having future plans a week in advance anymore lol.

Yeah of course, but worth considering if multiple trades wanted possibly next week

FFS thought it was finally gonna be a straightforward week trade-wise. Was just planning to do May to Garrick.

Now I wake up to find Cleary's out, May's starting, and suddenly I need a half and a captain.

Could do Chester + FineAF to Garrick and Armstrong maybe. Weekes to half. Or just stick with plan A?

Team in case anyone has any better ideas:

Spoiler:

let this be a lesson for players coming back after being out for 2+ games that it's probably prudent to wait a week just in case the previous injury resurfaces....i'm guilty i got cleary last week
it's the old fantasy ruled don't pick players coming off an injury...i used to strictly adhere to this rule remember years ago gallen had a pre season injury & the 1st game he went off within the 1st 5 mins & heaps had him well i didn't cause of the rule.

If Radley comes in, I'll probably trade him, if not, I'll more than likely hold.

Went off with an injury ?? I call BS! Man was/is a supplement lover, would have been fine on the one leg anyway

If I was trading to a keeper, sure, but Plath probably is only borderline.

my thinking was probably:
Lussick -> Plath
Burbo -> Armstrong (probs)

Terrell -> Garrick

whether or not to pull the trigger on Terrell is moreso about wanting to slow on trades. Getting Garrick means I don't have to play Strange though. And he's likely a season keeper. decisions..

Plath looks pretty good right now, but he's a young guy who might get a bit tired after a few more weeks of NRL and just settle down to being a 40 pt guy..

remember that anita ward song...ring my terrell...well my ears will be ringing when the terrell bell starts a ringing & he's on 70 points

Has BA given any indication yet on Guthos replacement ?

in the future with a.i. we won't need to get rid of injured players the club will just clone the player & play the clone

Suspect he's more worried about BA's replacement.

Have you seen AI hands/fingers?

Talagi is the chatter coming out of the eels at the moment

Fuck Robbo roulette JWH and Radley back next week.

Goodbye May hello Plath. I’ll get scores around 50 from Plath or just below I’m happy with that.

Gonna roll with this for the week

May/Joliffe/McInnis
KPP/Katoa
SJ/Brown
Iro/Garrick
Teddy/Walsh/Papy

Blore/Angus/Galvin/Hughes

plan is for Brailey to come in next week

May Kris and Strange ---> Armstrong, Weekes, Hynes.
