Yeah im thinking straight swap to norman. Good bye coverage then. Only problem is if Norman goes down before the byes.

Good points re TMM

try not to factor injuries in when deciding on trades. unless the player has recent injury history then just ignore it. CP13 could go down for the season this week but that shouldn't be something you think about when considering to bring him in.

So this is the 17 I will probably run with this week

Smith (Parcell)
Surgess, JDB
Parker, Fensom, Whitehead (Taupau, Jaifiti)
Hastings, A.Taylor
Dugan, Holland
Tedesco, Barba, T-Turbo (Mitchell)

Anyone have the break evens of

aubs
j saifiti
n brown
fenson
frizell
tolman
mannering

That is a really strong 17 overall. The second row looks really impressive as well being Holland who is scoring fine. But the second row seems really stacked.

Not sure if this Journo would know if he had a wooly rat up him to be honest. Wait for team lists and game day guys.

thx might have to jump on mannering soon

Woods -> De Belin, Rochow -> DPP's out the arse -> Tedesco, can't wait to see how these trades crash & burn come the weekend.

Still butthurt after trading out Merrin. Wake up angry in the mornings because of that shit.

laurie just told me that if JDB's ownership gets over 10%, he will be picked for nsw.. "the tribe has spoken"..

Understand what you are saying but the trade for norman is sidewayas butfor the bye coverage. Without the bye coverage i'd be less likely to make the trade as I don't think I would like to end the season with Norman.

So, whether he is fit when the bye rounds pop up is very relevant. I may be better off trading him then and leaving Cody Walker on the pine. Its a lot of cash doing nothing though.

I have both, please don't

Thanks mate. My problems are the halves - Walker possibly gone, Taylor and Hastings not keepers. Holland is in for Hunt this round so can swap between them, same with T-Turbo/Mitchell/Barba if Walker was still playing.

2nd row is great on paper but scoring well below their averages at the moment. Be nice if they aimed up a little! 90 From Taupau about now would be great

Im giving up on the bye planning to be honest just gonna try and get the best team i can as quick as i can and throw in some dragon and eels players so i dont get totally raped during the byes.

Is asiata going to get a run through origin? If i drop carter for him i can bring in fifita for saifiti and have 100k in the bank and a team of:

Liicha | Parcell
Graham, Fifita | Tolman
Surgess, Parker, Whitehead | JTurbo, Moeroa
Taylor, Hastings
Claw, Hunt
Teddy, Mitchell, Barba

NPRS: Blaw, Asiata, CWalker, Nikorima (must sell!), Benry, Holland, Gutherson, Feeny


Assumed Walker is out so just benched him and will upgrade later

He might, he can ball play, but Ray Thompson should be back, Kostjasyn could play in halves again with Chudleigh bench hooker, or Coote to halves with Ponga at back, and I don't see him playing in the prop rotation. It's possible but I think he probably plays the same role as he does now. From memory he played in the halves last year, but I think Thompson and Lui were injured and Chudleigh and Ponga not ready yet.

Say what? Asiata in the halves?

I WTF'ed too. I do believe it was Thompson and Lui in the halves last year during the bye rounds with Kostjasyn filling in for a few rounds when Thurston was rested for a game or two.
