Very uneventful.  Did the Roosters just do the normal name Monday night's team again?  That will be a fairly different team if the rumours about Cordner and JWH are true.

Roosters also named Liu who has been charged by the judiciary.

Taylor to Norman
Cartwright to Mannering

I'd do Mannering this week as Taylor could make some cash with a b/e of 21 but Cartwright has a b/e of 48 & he could miss out.

PM me if you want someone to babysit your team.

That reminds me I need to PM Welshy as he will be caretaker of my team while Im away!

It's 21.

Cheers. Stoopid Kennedy.

Who is Clay Priest? Don't know what he's like as a footballer but that's a fantastic name.

I have 4 red dots - V. Leuluia, Henry, Littlejohn & Feeney. I feel Henry is the only one & needs to be sold. I can sit on as Leuluai is injured but says he's back round 10 & might get a run during the byes. Same with Feeney as he might get a run. JLJ is 1 injury away in the halves & could re-appear at some stage. Do you agree.

going to be a hell of a lot of changes to teams come game day.

Yep, Raiders (and I believe about half a dozen other teams) have a bye for their ressies. Means we find even less than normal this week.
Ricky might be intending on dropping Stank Paul, or he may have just named those 3 on the extended bench as a reward for good form (with no intent on using them) and to put a rocket up the first side. Won't know until game day.

Wouldn't mind Barnett getting the gig over FPN, Apparently Clay is an absolute beast (though someone said his contract was Mounties only so interesting he was named) and Kennedy got MOTM last week (but continued to have his same flaws according to those who watched). I'd take any over FPN with Barnett being the preference but I think Ricky will choose none of them.

Nice Trades - you must have some cash in the bank?

He's been talked up a bit by people who have seen him at mounties, could be the next Luke PAGE though

Sure do. Will have a little bit to play with after those trades as well.

Will keep my eye out on the late mail and Liu's suspension regarding the Roosters and also on Parcell but Ben Hunt's my main man to trade in so hopefully because it's a Friday game all the news is out there before that game.
Be very hard to justify selling Aubo/Parcell if they're going to keep their starting spots and play out the game though.

He's a big boy, him and another teammate made me think I was watching Under 20's at first. That's about all I got, cool name indeed though.

I'm selling Ferguson to Kennar this week to fund the B. Hunt purchase but for some strange reason I've become attached to the Ferg. Early in the season I hated him but he has really tried to up his effort in the last couple of games & I feel a monster game is nigh.

Fonua Blake worth trading in as a cash out for Saifiti, to bring in Hunt for Walker?

I initially traded Ferg out for at least the third time this week, then reversed it and traded out RTS instead. Without Ferg's try, he would've continued losing cash though, so I don't have much hope for him hitting his BE this week. I'm probably going to need him in my 17 again this week though, so welcome back again Ferg..

Team for the week

Smith (c), Parcel
Graham, Tolman
Surgess, Fensom, Ma'u, Jturbo, Thompson
Hastings, A-Rey
Croker, Roberts, Holland
Barba, Teddy, Mitchell

I was looking at him but I think he is first to go when DCE is back and one of the hookers go to bench

Opinions on my options please?

1. Pat Mat > lolohea and RTS > semi or
2. Jsaifiti > Elliot and RTS > Tedesco

If he wasn't a dpp I would probably sell but it's handy to swap him & Gutherson (in my wfb's) around.
