Preston (despite his dodgy haircut) is from Sydney's leafy north shore. Don't know if he'd be much use on a sheep station.

Looking at a map of Sydney, that's quite the hike he took every morning to go wrangle some sheep for fun

Do I risk going Moses (potential origin callup and screwing me over because I'm trade-poor), or go Brown instead?

I'm pretty keen to get Kelma too if that is more risky for your liking

Hynes to Kelma for a cool $1.15m cash in the bank, or just trade a green dot in Kris to him and still play with 12.

Last year Preston was a starting edge 18 times (1 game he named as lock, his first was off the bench)
14 of those he played 80 minutes, of the other four, two had sin bins dropping him down to 70.

This year, the most minutes he's been given is 70 on one occassion.

Last year he's a 53/54ish average in give or take 80 minutes.
This year he might be 48ish in 65ish minutes? but priced at 46.

The bye schedule is nice, the rest seems to rely on the hope of something that Ciraldo has so far chosen not to do

If we had all just left him alone he’d be playing 80, averaging 60+, and the Eels would be winning games.

Eels will win tonight

I'm going Angus to Kelma this week, leaves me easily able to upgrade Hughes and Mikaele to good options and Kelma playing R19 is really handy.

Can't see much point in holding off the Hynes trade.
Even if he has a shocker in Origin (I doubt he will), he'll almost certainly be rested next week, and you won't know if he's dumped till a week after that.

Meanwhile, you can take Kris's 20 points and marvel at how one can do so little yet be so secure in their job (am I talking about myself here?)

R19 is 6 weeks away, historically speaking there's a good chance he's back to the bench by then and scores a handy 4 points in 18 minutes

I was going to get Kelma but I can't after one game for 80 from a guy that's got a 15 and 18 as 80 min edge before. I just got rid of Piakura last week

I'm doing Hynes to Teddy C then can leave Angus trade or not until other target final team list

For some reason, I thought games started on Friday this week, and completely forgot there was a game on tonight

Sounds good; As a Teddy non-owner, it's really hard to imagine him not going 60+ this week, and that's with me thinking that the Cowboys might put up more fight than others are expecting.

I've got Atko, SHughes and Strange tucked on my bench so I can make adjustments if they underperform.
Atko might hang around depending on what's happening with Trindall with his breach notice
Shughes & Strange on the chopping block

Do we know how long Koula is out for?

My rd 14 team is very panic trade inducing.

Think it was 2-4 weeks?

So a slim chance he is back next week

Yeah this is where my thinking is going too.

I should get player that covers 13 14 19 instead for numbers but FOMO no Teddy this week

Given some idiot only realised there's a game tonight, better put up a captaincy poll for community team

I'm delaying the Hynes sell because my target is Jahrome Hughes next week. If Hynes looks like backing up next week (unlikely), then I'll hold him, otherwise I'll trade for Hughes.
