Weeks Lussick Atkinson Plath

Hughes KPP Kris Fuller

Not sure if its worth punting Strange and just do Salmon to Weeks but means I have no edge cover and playing KPP.

I'd look to sell May as BSmith is back, pushing Watson to the bench. Would allow you more cash. 50/50 on Strange.

Hey mate do you think Piakura will only get 55mins now with Gosiewski there?

Would you trade out Salmon or Piakura first?

Well i dont think itll be 55 mins every week, but Gos is probably going to stick around for a while since they kept running into trouble with mid game injuries and having 3 big mids on the bench.

Patty the captain without Reynolds and while being the captain doesnt mean you have to be on the field, theyll have him out there as much as possible since the rest of them are adhd kids

If trade Piakura first

Grant last 3 against Parra 4 tries 73, 80 and 71…… hmm but no Hughes or Pap.

VC Angus or Grant?

The only VC I’m considering in relation to Grant is Very Close to selling

Possibly.  It's hard to trade out a guy still scoring well even though he's up and down.  I think he'll be pretty useful in round 13 but I will consider it more closely.

Edit: Good point looking at the bench.

Not even kidding that my current VC is Weekes, and not by accident. Looks pretty stupid, but I'm not in love with any other option more than it, if Hynes break again.

I totally understand those who will hold him. Probably can bash out a try here and there. Still has a good output. Just feel you could use that cash elsewhere.

No I appreciate the point of view. Will have a look and see what the extra cash can do.

I had him in my team this morning, but I think I'm going to pass.

I actually think he and Trindall will be the ones that line up this weekend, but even in that scenario I'm assuming Trindall is the chief playmaker and main kicker in the absence of Hynes?

I'm sure he'll still make decent coin, but I'm assuming he probably averages around that 30 mark whether it's alongside Trindall or Hynes... or, like you say, could get dropped all together.

If it was earlier in the season, of if I'd been someone sensible with trades, I'd probably still consider it... but for now, going to be a no from me.

At the moment I have the following pencilled in:

Cleary > DiFi
Salmon > Weekes
Waddell > Koula


Leaves me with waaay too many WFB/CTRs, but too much value on offer to turn down.

Rd 3, was the last time I had a full 21.

Chee Kam calf injury.

Doesn't have very good bye coverage, just R13.

Hope nobody just bought AJ, 6-8wks

"Hammer is our fullback and he will be playing fullback this weekend," Bennett said.

The coach said Fuller had been "tremendous" but there was no place for him in the 17 against the Tigers.

"But he will be back for us. We have got three games with our Origin players missing and he will have games there," Bennett said.

"It also means Hammer won’t have to back up from Origin games because we are confident in (Fuller)."

Not too bad, if he plays 13, 16, 17, 19, 20 and doesn't play off the bench in between, could be $750k+ when it is time to trade him out and looking like a gun scorer in his position.

Brimson loves an injury. Poor bloke.

Ironic that one AJ (Alex Johnston) returns right as the other one gets injured

So, the Origin forward you're buying won't get rested after any Origin ganes, but the Origin centre that your player is covering for will get rested in all of them?

Fuller will be fine to hold for three bye round scores, and it's good for owners if he isn't named at 14 in any of the other rounds, but come on.

I didn't say it, the coach did.

Titans don't have a gun edge to play over Fifita, but Dolphins have a gun fullback to play to give HTF a rest.

Basically this.

If i had him id probably hold but expecting hamiso to be rested after every origin game is a bit silly
