Or, is the fact that those are my options an indication that it's time to bite the bullet and trade Cleary?

Could do Cleary, May, Chester to Hynes, Garrick, Armstrong which seems reasonable. Otherwise I'm pretty happy just doing May to Garrick, so it's whether those two others are worth it.

Really don't like burning through three trades a week.

Tohu for me. I've got Hynes but if I didn't, not sure its worth ripping your team apart to get him (last week's score notwithstanding). Could repeat the dose this week against the Dragons, but maybe not against Storm, Roosters and Panthers. And then there's Origin.

I think I’ve decided to wait until Dogs update their team tomorrow. Don’t want to get rid of Salmon, but if it’s not looking good for him, and May is named to start, I might punt Salmon instead of May. Maybe. Still very undecided, to be honest, and the decision needeth not be locked in tonight.

Not a bad idea

TU:Trade Cleary if no Hynes
TD:Hold

Great shout. Can't see Salmon keeping up the 40's anyhow and when he moves back to lock he's a dud.

If May starts yes he'll lose $$, but he'll probably also score 50 or so. Calf injuries are notoriously niggly and can be known to hang around for longer than just a week too.

The evil part of me wouldn't mind seeing Preston in back row with Mann holding his spot and Salmon on the bench, which would be a clear sign to punt Salmon and hold May. Don't see that happening, though. If nothing else, it's a good excuse to put the decision off until tomorrow.

May should definitely lose money regardless, but collecting a 50-60 on the way out for minimal cash loss would be nice.

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, they seem to be getting JWH to play his 300th game at home next week, so I am not sure there's actually any calf issue? Could be wrong, obviously.

Storm young gun Sua Faalogo is set to play his first game of the year with the flyer likely to start on the wing. Tyran Wishart was named to replace the injured Xavier Coates but Faalogo is now likely to start on the flank. (Michael Carayannis)

Bit like what Hornby is doing with the Rabbits lineup.

Early to trade in a looping red dot cash out, but as a Papy handcuff it's plausible. Not for me though.

You can tell me mate. I'm totally trustworthy and non-judgy.

Thoughts on getting Jolliffe over Plath? Seems like a guy who could be a cut priced MID keeper. I can’t shake the feeling that Plath will need to be traded out eventually.

I've seen it around a bit the last few days and have no idea what it means

Why not both?

I can't decide between them either, so thinking I'll get both

Does Jolliffe get selected for Queensland over Mofo? On current form it would seem likely.

The Titans Tolman ya reckon ?

Is Jolliffe playing well ? Ive never heard him mentioned.

Just heard cookie on the NRL late Mail pod saying “on the footy stats site” to give a Hynes ownership update

I’d be shocked if he made origin lo
If he does glory glory NSW

I'm thinking this is the qld starting pack and bench, if there are 15 or 16 injuries to elite maroons forwards in round 12.

8 Kerr
9 Tanah Boyd
10 Arrow
11 Bullemor
12 Loiero
13 Mann

14 Simpkin
15 Finefeuiaki
16 Offa
17 Jolliffe
