Welcome Yeo, Fifita, Latrell and Twal. Goodbye Shoes, Salmon, Smithies and Nicho

Mine is looking very similar currently. In comes Yeo, Fifita, Latrell and Uto. Out goes IKat, Fuller, Hynes and Matto

I have 3 Edges for 16 if I get Fifita. Guessing Blore will have to go before then.

Also surely the biggest question this week about the biggest... where's Granville? If Robson doesn't backup appantly Bob Jane is playing dummy half

Granville keeping the 9 was my biggest fear with Robson so count this as a win. I'm pretty sure TP always names his stars on the extended bench. You'd think most come in if they get through the game injury free.

Granville seemed to get through the game fine too so weird one.

Making 4 trades this week to try and set myself up well for the rest of the bye period is hard.
The guys I really want don’t really help the cause

Wow, no Watson.

No way!!!!!

Mbappe taking a 125mn euro sign-on bonus puts our salary cap into perspective

Pretty sure last year Payton named his Origin players in reserves each time and they all backed up. You might want to double check Footy Statistics to confirm but I'm fairly sure.

Edit: Was catching up, Wolfy beat me to it but think that further confirms it

Strong trades mate, Matt has Utoikamanu so that's enough for me to avoid

400k but averages 50 from 6 starts in the second row and plays R16 & 19. Simple as that or am I forgetting something?

The downside for Seyfarth is that he's not very good in real life.

The upside for Seyfarth is that the Tigers don't really have many other options

Didn’t realise Klemmer was also suspended till 17 along with Bateman/Ipap being out until the 20 somethings.

Someone has to be worth it

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s correct. I’m leaning towards Hynes and Hughes to Fifita and Latrell/Twal (to be decided but leaning Latrell)

Big risk with future Origin changes but locks in 2 keepers. I have a plethora of WFB but 3 are medium term sells (Weekes, Wishart, Armstron)

This is the team to take me forward until after the byes, putting all the chips in so will see what happens haha

Good luck to everyone this week and hopefully we get an action packed origin game tomorrow

Team:

Byes:

I think he’s definitely an option for those considering Twal, but lower on trades.

Haas has the spot for the season whereas Twal, who knows.

In the past I would have held off Fifita and Latrell due to the Origin risk, so trying a slightly different route this year and grabbing Yeo, Fifita and Latrell as 3 season keepers. Gives me this team full strength:

JMK
Yeo Carrigan Twal
Fifita KPP
Weekes Galvin
Aitken Garrick
Drinky Latrell Kiraz
Brailey Plath Fainu Hands
Wighton Iro Armstrong Fa'alogo

Pretty happy with the make up outside of HLFs but all the top tier guns are currently crocked.

Salmon may get a stay of execution if Armstrong does get dropped...

Murray should be back on deck then

Murray will play origin if he’s fit tho, so keon has lock for a few more rounds. Also, he’s proven at edge to be worthy enough a keeper.

I got suckered in earlier this year with seyfarth. Stats are too good to be true... he seemed to always be the first person dropped/benched/scapegoated. He's also a mad dog

I wonder if jumping off Armstrong early could be the equivalent move to Booze's Miller master stroke last year. Even if he plays this week, it's against Storm and the drumbeats are negative that his place is under threat. Can afford to go to Koloa, who now that he's DPP suits my bye rounds so much better.

Will have a slightly weird team, but need calculated risks to improve my horrible rank:

Grant
Carrigan Ming Koloa
Difita KPP
Galvin Atkinson
Iro Kiraz
Drinky Latrell Koula
Brailey Blore Hands Fainu
(SWalker Radley Weekes Aitken)
