Only misses 1 more than other origin players in that period, plays 14. Only other potential Origin players are Hynes, Crichton, Stefano. Have all positions covered for R13 except for HOK at the moment. Also gives me a 3rd EDG.

Will he play in 14? What’s his history of backing up, I seem to remember it’s not flash?

Yeo not a better option, imagine he backs up with Cleary missing from the team? Senior player and all that

More forced trades. Have Cleary, Turbo, Bateman out long term. Chevy not back (knew he wouldn't be) and KPP/Waddell benched. Lovely.

Will probably hold Bateman this week because he's a better loop that... Waddell will have to go next week and KPP will probably just have to stay. He'll leak cash but be starting again at some point.

Fifita probably as good as Yeo or Haas. If trading out KPP, then grabbing another edge seems okay.

I'm starting to lean Hopgood, but less confident chucking the C on him over the above 3.

As a season-long owner last year, the benefit of Difita was all in the front end. He got rested over Origin, then he was mediocre post-Origin.

Could be different this year, but we'll see

with Frizell apparently in doubt, Id at least wait until Saturday before trading KPP out

I may be forced into holding due to other issues, and just hoping he gets his starting spot back.

I think hold, Gagai also in doubt and that may force Lucas to centre and thus get KPP back in to start

19 Green dots for me, 18 if Hynes doesn't play.

Will most likely have to trade in a Half as no Plath and don't want to play with 16 again. Guess that's Weekes though.

Lemu being on the bench is a bit stink, but hey I'm not selling him after one week.

Never in my wildest fantasies did I ever think I’d have KPP and Cheese in a loop on any given week.

Hopefully we’ll know more in a couple of days, but since he’s been named, I’m sticking with Hynes(c) and Gus(VC).

Dont really think KPP is an urgent trade even if he does come off the bench again

Burning through trades id be far more annoyed if i flicked him and he was starting again in a week or two time.

Like someone else said, it's somewhat nice the Sharks play when they do, will see their squad reeduce in the 24 hour update, before the first game of the round, by 30 minutes.

As a KPP and Best owner I’m really hoping it’s Gagai and Friz that have a rest this week due to niggles

If I had KPP I wouldn't sell him either, will be in the 2ND Row when Friz is in Origin/injured anyway

Yeah Knights bye next week though, I think we have the same 3 out. I guess Rd 13 Gagai plays origin, maybe Best too, so could be starting that week.

Problem is, we don't know when he would have come on if Gamble didn't go down. Might have played 20 minutes.

Gagai won't be playing Origin.

Yeah I have no idea about Qld's team, I've never heard of half of them when named. Munster, Carrigan and some other guys.

What were your trades this week?

Hynes + Turbo + Salmon

Watson + Fifita + kiraz

Might have to get the old boys back together to finish the season off
Need to up the durability of my squad to run it back

JDB,NButcher,Tapine,AFB

Bye next week is a slight elbow nudge to the testicles, but I still also reckon KPP is a hold. Whether it be through injury or form, he seems destined to be starting again soon... I hope.

I recall MTB speaking of Moale last week... what was the outcome of that discussion? Did folk collect him, or was there a movement to see what happens when Host is back? With his current BE, seems like waiting longer almost makes him a no-go, but he does seem a curious proposition.

Batman + Turbo -> Weekes + Koula leaves 530k to upgrade either Salmon or Stewart into a keeper, no idea who though no one really appeals.

Haha, hadn't looked that far until now, but KPP, Brailey and Armstrong with a sprinkling of Fuller and Chevy could be a significant issue next week, and probably Hynes too.
