If they’ve got a green dot (or otherwise healthy)

Not disagreeing with what you're saying, but Talagi wasn't a green dot (and may still not be if Gutherson didn't get injured)

signed, a Salmon, KPP, Waddell, Terrell owner

He was healthy though… just shit

Since him I burned 4 fullback trades - Hammer, Ponga, Pap, Chester

He could have rotted away in the squad for a while longer is all

Not necessarily. Apart from rd 1 and last weekend, KPP had played 80 mins every game. Given Lucas has been playing so well, coach taking the opportunity to lessen KPP’s work load. He could just as easily start next week with Lucas given a breather.

Hey baz just curious on the KPP situation, guessing last weeks ‘rest’ wasn’t just a one off… would him off the bench the way going forward?

Down to 15 trades after making 3 this week and here I was thinking I’ve done alright saving the odd trade lately

That will teach you to hang out late in dirty cold warrens!

Any reserve grade stats?

It’s the hope that kills you!

Take it easy Rabbits21.  If the Rabbits Suck Virus is anything like the TSV (Tigers suck virus), the tightness in chest and headaches dissipate soon enough as your body adapts to it.

That TSV lingers for such a long time, upwards of 10 years and apparently has no known cure! It just eats you from within and kills you so damn slowly. It is so painful (worse when you actually watch them live). I’m sure the RSV is only a short term thing. I hope it’s at least 6 months!

I did.
Felt so confident when Foran went off and he started in play kicking. Was looking like a gun keeper for the next 6 weeks or so. Next minute.. gone

Going to bring in Haas for Bateman. Haas is a final team player and with trades disappearing as quickly as they are, locking in a gun keeper feels nice. Other option was Joliffe but I think over the next 10 rounds Haas scores more even with Origin, plus he isn't going to require another trade.

Other trades AJ -> Weekes.

Is Yeo expected to play origin?

Wouldn’t he be the most locked in?

Have updated my tracker if anyone wants to make a suggestion for someone ranked around 25k .

Apologies for the amount of money to spend

Ahh sorry - Murray. Damn so many injuries I forgot about him.

Cleary and Bateman OUT
Weekes and HopGOD IN

Holding 3rd trade atm despite having Strange in my 17,Piakura and KPP looping, Salmon at 20 and Chevy 21. They all feel like sells but I’m playing scared now and currently holding

If I was to sell I like Koula, but I really need another MID

I think Trindall comes in after the court case is finalised this week

Bringing Yeo, Weekes and Koula in for Trbo, Bateman and Piakura

Have to bite the bullet on Piakura I think because between him and Waddell I have some upcoming terminal turds

I have a bad feeling about Atkinson too with Trindall named in reserves, hopefully it is just a carrot for him to not be a fuckwit for a bit longer because Atkinson sure looked like he'd played his way into the team. He'll be a good origin period handcuff for Hynes anyway

Brutal if you did.

My plan was Teddy for a few weeks then switch to AJB

Guess now just stashing Tedesco into 18-21 through the origins

I got Teddy last week in the hope that by 14-15 he'd be close enough in price to Drinky to upgrade. Or hope he misses origin and I can keep him. Will see how that pans out

WTF. Fifita is staying at the Titans now.. Roosters deal is off.

Drinkwater plays 13, but not 16 or 19 and has 3 bye rounds after R15. Looks like a really bad option to bring in at that time.

Hilarious. Wonder how they will attract a gun EDG to the club.... oh wait they already have one.
