It actually says they “bought tickets” and Baz replied doubting they paid for them. The club woukd give you tickets to your son’s first game surely.

If Sharpe does play and comes into the game I assume he will be 230k or 250k is there anything that would make him 450k like some players seem to get or is that normally more when they have come from England etc...

just planning for round 19 as he could be a good option.

Only applies to players from England. He would be $230k.

Same for Jye Gray he said in terms of being 'week-to-week,' so there's some good news. They can't be too far away.

Do you reckon Jye Grey comes back to shift Latrell to CTR still?

He still scores OK at CTR but perhaps not the worth 720k

He hasn't played in England or anything, so he'd be 230k almost certainly

here is a tough call.

I do have 18 this week but its more a cash gen thing. Hands would free up some much needed cash and also should make alot.

If Armstrong is out then Armstrong to Hands is easy. If Armstrong is Wing then ill likely still hold him.

Koula is good for my byes but he sucks at centre.

TU: Koula to Hands
TD: Pass on Hands

Fanhub are fuckers though so could come in artificially inflated at 800k so "you have to decide whether its worth the risk and so that everybody doesnt get him"

Probably not added to the game in time to swap Armstrong to him, will be the big fail of the week.

he drops a 50 and then they price him at that.

I swear back when CHN debuted in 2017 he had a great debut and wasn’t priced until 2nd game so came in base price with negative BE

He's from Cessnock so will probably come in at 150k

Lehi Hopoate is a Sharpe alternative, with good bye coverage (if he holds his spot

Garrick and Koula as threats and Turbo back in 18.

Just seems alot of ways he could be out the team. I think i would prefer Sharpe.

Also plays R16? But TTurbo is supposed to back R18 so may be a short term investment

Think it happened to a random Tigers centre too.

Came in base price with a negative BE

Would he be worth a trade anyway? Given how trade-strapped everyone is, he'd need to score amazingly well in the time he gets in order to justify the double trade.

Armstrong has extended with Knights for 2 years. In the same DT article...

While his path to the no.1 jersey is blocked by Kalyn Ponga, the prospect of a positional switch to the wing could be his way to play permanent NRL. Armstrong has been a revelation for the Knights in the absence of Ponga. The 23-year-old has scored five tries from as many games including a treble against the Gold Coast in round 11.

He had an unhappy last start against the Bulldogs and is in doubt for Newcastle’s clash against the Storm with injury.

Fletcher Sharpe is on standby for Armstrong.

The hardest thing is I only need a round 19 WFB so getting one as a cash out would be very handy.

Will wait till next week anyway, was just working on my bye planner.

Ponga is back R22 - that is loads of time to make bank

By the time it gets to R22 you'll probably have max 4 trades left.
Do you want to spend one of them trading out Sharpe?

That's funny, all this talk of him being secretly dropped and Sharpe being the incumbent, and the reality is he's in doubt with injury and Sharpe is there as cover.

It's like that well-worn adage about the simplest explanation is often the right one
