If Hopgood is fit surely he is playing origin? If he is unfit he isn't playing club? Theres a real possibility he misses 15, 16, 19 & 20 and is backing up in 17. Also bleeding cash

He was an origin benchie - I can already cover him for 15, 16, 19 @ 20. If I trade him out now I will just need to bring him back in when he is more expensive again

Ehhh perhaps, but that's only if Koro stays in the halves which seems near 0% chance of happening imo

Might only need a week or 2 of scores out of him in key rounds depending on your team structure. Then can sit doing sfa in 21 for rest of year and give a looping option. Also a max cash out if youve got some cows you need to milk and its getting to that time of year where its milking season. People are gunna want some spare cash for some bottoming guns that are imminent.

Koros an origin chance. He'll go back to hooker for tigers though for sure.

Worth a considers all im saying, by no means a hidden golden nugget

Bringing Koro in to avoid playing with 15. I have no HOK for next week so he's more than just a one week play.

Has potential to be a keeper if he stops missing 10 tackles a game. Fingers crossed.

Don't reckon it'll be mandatory to get Hopgood back in.

Also if I don't trade Hopgood this week I'll be playing with 14 at best (after trading KPP), call me glass half empty, but my fantasy season is so fucked I can't really afford to miss any opportunity to score points.

Had him since round 1, don't do it to yourself man

Those looping options will really help when you rarely have 17 players 

I like Sharpe as bye round play into red dot but even if I only have max 1 bye player from teams in run in still going to get fisted

Hey folks. Not really one to post my own team or post questions often but a bit stuck what to do this week. Have 13 trades left and 1.3M in the kitty. Currently down to 15 for the week, so looking at selling Shoes more than likely, perhaps Dom Young. Want to bring in someone who plays this week AND next week. I'm likely short a WFB next week, and that's with Dom Young playing. Perhaps an Edge as well depending how Fifita goes, although if Fifita is out and Galvin gets named, Plath can take the edge spot. Any suggestions? Thanks heaps

It's called hoping for the best and expecting the worst. Fully expect a good fisting and limping in with zero trades and 12 players in final round

That’s my tactic. Don’t steal it

Who wins this game? Titans probably the favourites but with Fifita out it’s a great chance for Tigers to nab a win

Hey man Plath is a MID so can't cover Fifita, though surely Fifita is back next week.

I'd be moving on from Shoes 100% and would be pretty comfortable cutting and running with Armstrong's money. He doesn't play next week anyway, and even if he's back in 18 Ponga will be back real soon to take his job. I haven't heard about the severity of Dom's injury so not sure if he's a sell or not.

You could look to bring in Manu with that much cash in the bank. No chance for origin, is a clear gun, and can help boost your CTR/WFB stocks for round 16

With that amount of trades I think you can certainly afford to trade Armstrong.

Do you guys prefer the same sort of banner to keep it consistent up the top or would you prefer I try different styles?

That’s me done I’m afraid. Too many injuries before anyone gets a chance to play and get injured. More out today. That’s bad luck I know but what really is the point in having to play 15 every week. I’m off to Supercoach. These squads just aren’t big enough! Good luck all and see you next year!

not a lot of safe options left for you from the teams that haven't played this week and fit your parameters.

i'd probably be having a think about wishart and katoa

armstrong your most obvious trade out

p.s. campbell and manu also good options others have suggested here, just be a bit careful with campbell i bought him in last week and he was limping the whole game and heavily taped despite the good score, i actually think the trainer ran some pain relief out to him on a couple of occasions

its a fiasco.

they definitely need to be doing a bit of an overhaul next year to make it all less lottery like

Jahrome Hughes and any other gun (doesn’t need to be R16 with DPP) for other Hughes and Armstrong would leave you full 13 assuming all of Galvin, Young and Fifita play as you can move Weekes to WFB

I've pulled trigger on Hopgoid to Yeo.

Stuff byes, bye players only get injured anyway. Just grabbing a top scorer at a decent price and hope he backs up from origin .

Hopgood look stone missing at least 4 of the next 6, so can afford to spend a trade on him I think.

Yeahhh, maybe it makes the most sense to trade him out. It's just hard to pull the trigger on a keeper with such low trades. KPP feels more like a player that might not stick around all year. Where Hop will just have a rough 4-5 weeks but I guess there's a chance he's broken now

I have massive FOMO on Campbell but not getting another Rd 17 bye player
