Was going to ask how you are shaping up for the that 8 week period of the Season where we both actually go okay

I've gone from rank 7000 to 20000 over the last month (Fog injury round Captain, then Cleary over Hynes when Hynes went off, then 16 only last week).

But 22 trades left to make some in roads.

I'm also just inside 20k.

Sitting pretty for 13 and 14 but 16 looks tough so I'll probably only have around 10 players

The real test is going to be trying to turn some of these shittos into actual guns for the run home

2024 Gun = Player who gets selected every week, is injury free and consistently scores above 35

Lol yeah

Forget stats, form and fixtures - what's their likelihood of doing a hammy? Maybe should keep Salmon, he doesn't run fast enough to do a hammy.

i just realised if grant is suspended i'll have to buy a hooker...to me it didn't look serious but if they want to send a message he'll get suspended.

He only gets an increased fine if challenge at judiciary is unsuccessful

Will have to deal with the problem in 14 but really liking the look of null null.

Averaged 47.5 in the role last year priced at 35

Dolphins seem to have handed the reigns to the next gen with Aitken, Null and Plath the preferred backrow while Kaufusi and KBrom play middle

Only 130k upgrade from Piakura who looks in danger of not hitting a 30 average

Maybe he slips off the bench once souths get a few more NRL players available. Dont think they had anyone else they could pick last week?

Theres a chance the time to grab Cook is now, but it can certainly wait til rnd 14

Souths really took it as a challenge when I said Mamo was the worst player in the NRL

Looks like a rep player compared to some of the spuds being run out now

Yeah great option at the price if you can make it work for rd14.

Over the past few weeks I have been interested in JMK, Null, Marzhew, Young, S Walker and can't afford to get any of them due to my rd14 numbers, it really is the most annoying mix of teams on bye that week.

Hutcho a priority trade back in

Hmm making me rethink trading Salmon. Him and Hutcho playing the long game. Marathon, not a sprint and all that.

If Salmon is named second row again with Preston on the bench, easy sell. If he's moved back to lock, then he could be worth holding short term.

Speaking of Dogs, I was looking at Nikora, but Preston could be a prime trade in for round 13 if Angus makes Origin.

I'm selling Salmon no matter where he's named just to be clear One of the most uninspiring footballers I've even seen. How's he even starting still?

Just god awful

I agree, he's atrocious, offers fucking less than nothing. Not sure why the coach loves him so much.

Guess I better trade Hutch back in too then

Weirdly Preston wasn’t playing 80 in the first couple of games even before injury

He didn't quite look himself last week either.  Not sure if he was sick or something but just didn't seem as on point as usual.

Carrigan took a knock about 30mins in and was with the trainer in back play for a min or two.

I thought he was going off, he was clutching his arm. I was just grateful he played on but was definitely down on tackles after that

Yeah it's baffling. Ciraldo finally got the backs right when he dropped Taaffe, but still jacking around with Salmon starting with all the forwards back.

I should probably give Salmon a nicer sendoff after being fantasy gold though. Made the cash, provided a few scores when needed. So, thanks for that mate.

Huh, you're right, that is interesting. Maybe a no go then until we see if he ever plays 80.

Actually, I remember that now. Hopefully he's all sweet.
