    Its why the Fantasy site thinks I am a Titans fan. less competition to win the supporters league

    But as I see it main options are
    drop Kini (play either Brimson 1 + Campbell 6 or vice versa)
    drop Campbell
    play Brimson in centres

    No idea what Des would prefer. Whoever is dropped from starting could well end up as 14 on the bench

    Anything else likely, other than lineup changes forced through injury?

    seniority wins unless the player is a freak talent so logic says kini will miss out but you could argue kini is the most in form titan they rely on him in so many ways will the coach want to tinker with the rhythm

    Brimson will just tag team with Foran for a 4 week injury then they'll swap around again.

    it's sensible picking campbell he's scoring great & gk...kini has unknown job security he could play this week & bench the next but he's in great form & if you're chasing you need players like kini

    I don't think increasing the total number of trades or even introducing a "utlity bench" player would be a terrible idea for next season.

    The utility bench player could act as an AE in case you have:

    1. Player who suffers HIA and has a score less than 50% of their average
    2. Cannot field a player in a position in your starting line up.
    3. You are given an extra $500k starting salary to choose your AE and this player can be traded under normal trade rules.

    Additionally it would be good to have trade boosts like supercoach in case of weeks with mass injuries or outs. (4 trade boosts give 4 x 3 trade weeks).
    Myself in particular I think I fucked up the structure of my R1 team with loads of low job security flops 

    Chan, Kini, Sitili, Wong and just some all round shittos (Hutchison, Levi)

    Out of Campbell AJ and kini I would rate their JS in the same order as listed

    I like the thinking, and agree we need something.

    But let me (re?)introduce you to the Lucas Critique. Named after an utter wanker, but still valid, in essence:

    "if rules change, people's actions might change too, so old rules might not always work the same way."

    Given the amount of time we spend on assorted benchwankery (l**ping, late trades, red dots) it is fair to say we'd risk introducing a whole range of new fantasy game plans.

    I'd want the team to spend a bit of time having folk like snatch/beth/mattnz think about all the ways to profit from this before even trialling it - not least because it may increase the gap between obsessives and casuals - which is never a good thing for a large-market game.

    Double loop? Talk about showing off. Thought Talau would be cappo though.

    I think I am just going to risk it with Paps rather than spring for Teddy. Cleary/Hynes are too important to miss for the run home and my cash generation has completely stalled

    I advocated for Lussick and for Koula earlier this season in here so make sure you steer clear of my bad decisions

    Might be able to identify the next Reuben Porter

    U19 origin actually has a very good success rate in predicting future NRL players

    2017 for example QLD had Corey Allan, Phillip Sami, Shibasaki, Sailor, Brimson, Croft, Palasia, Grant, Horsburgh, Mitch Dunn, Hipgrave, and Carrigan. Few really good rep players + some decent first grade careers. NSW had Meaney, Lumelume, Ramien, Curtis Scott, Garrick, Jai Field, Lawrie, Reece Robson, Radley, Murray, NButcher, Jack Murchie, Guler, Stone, Magoulias

    Of course and agree but long term, the flexibility would be great for a bench spot since I'm looking at running Latrell/Ted/Drinkwater.

    I’ll be running the same 3, was going to miss JC but didn’t even think about the DPP, trying to work out if I can squeeze him in.

    Jdb to Teddy gives me 13 with two trades left. Trying to figure out captain May vs Fifita.

    Is there some Campbell/Brimson news I missed?

    Safe play with Kelma ---> JMK for more coverage over the byes. Was tossing up between him, Utoikamanu and Cook. Cook has the bye at a less convenient time and may lose some minutes at the back end of the season if Souths are looking like missing the finals given he's off to the Dragons next year.
