Does this mean we'll respond to a 60 point flogging by bringing Jack Buchanan into the 17?

Please be true.

Damn that's not good, only brought him in 2 weeks ago. Was going to be an NPR this week anyways but was banking on him taking over Aaron woods workload and making $$.

Those middies have burnt this year, though have only been hit a couple times and still made some $$ but it's the trade that hurts the most.
Unsure if his hammy strain will keep niggling and reduce his minutes when he does return.
Hmmmmm

Buchanan still injured as well apparently. Throw Teddy in at prop , will probably post better numbers than the rest of them.

Anyone think this Clay Priest can keep a bench spot?

Contemplating downgrading Evans, but no one worth while. Not sure but Evans could suffer even more with JWH back. His disclipline has been poor.

How much coin do we estimate k niko will make while macca is out?

Jason Taylor can eat a dick. All good though. Might be better for my team. Haha.

Oops. Deleted too much lol

Squad:

Smith, Friend
JDB, Surgess, Gavet, Leuluai
Parker, Fensom, Carter, Taupau, Jaifiti, Whitehead
Hastings, Taylor, Cullen, Feeney
Dugan, Holland, HHunt, Benry
Tedesco, Barba, Mitchell, T-Turbo, Gutherson

So my options for trades really are

Jaifiti/Carter (Upgrade/downgrade)
HHunt (Keeper or cheapie?)
T-Turbo (Semi? Cheapie?
Taylor (upgrade to Hunt or someone?)
Hastings (to Brock Lamb if he starts?)

What are peoples thoughts?

Saifiti has peaked it looks like but wont be losing much cash, and Carter wont lose any but is a trade now as well. Neither trades are pressing.
H. Hunt I would look at becoming a Keeper due to Holland potentially moving out of the side in coming weeks and Dugan playing Origin.
T. Turbo would look great becoming Radradra for over the bye rounds.
Taylor would be a hold. Low BE and again not losing you money.
Hastings has a low BE and no idea how he will score with Pearce. I would hold him as well. Also wouldn't go Brock Lamb just yet as haven't the Knights named another Rookie to start? Brown has been dropping and changing the side on a weekly basis based on form so he could get shuffled around and dropped. 

If I were you T. Turbo to Radradra and J. Saifiti to cheapie.

Gun team

Gun forward pack and halves are as good as any.

Holland will play but can he keep it up. Weak centres and fullbacks without one, two or three of Teddy, Munster and Dugan.

Your two extra gun forwards than most probably make up for that though. When did you buy Friend?

I probably wouldn't keep Hymel Hunt. Just got a feeling he won't score that well over the course of the next...well...5 months.

I believe that is my team you are talking about? I purchased Friend for Parcell last week, so missed out on his 100 but had him for his 80.

Jamie Lyon retiring at end of 2016. What a wonderful player he's been.

He has a 16 and an 18 to drop out of his rolling 5 round average. You would think in 6 weeks time averaging even only 40 over that time it would be approaching 120-150k? Blokes on here alot more qualified than me though at that sort of thing.

Has certainly copped his fair share of shit, but I like him.

Tim Grant out.

Shame he didnt play more rep footy but that is his own personal decision. Surely that means Walker would play CTR next year?

I happen to be 1 of the 1772 that own him. Fits in nicely as my 8th red dot. I now have an even 17 for this round so at least I don't have to agonise over who to leave out

I have him & Macca to replace this week so my Aubs trade is on hold which I don't mind since the Roosters play the Knights.

Loophole?

Some decent H2Hs this week across various Leagues. Up against the likes of Milchcow, SI, Welshy, Mighty Fishes and Bluetige just to name a few.

What is even more interesting is that Welshy is in charge of my squad!
