Archer wrote:Soooo where did Kaufusi come from for the Cowboys? Who is he in for ATM? Am I crazy pondering going Grevs to Kaufusi as if he sticks around I'll have an extra player RD 12 whilst freeing up a heap of cash to go TMM -> Claw.

kaufusi is in for two reasons:
- to get nrl experience before the bye period
- asiata was put back to qld cup to play big mins to get match fitness for the bye period.

as it stood, asiata is/was still ahead of him in the pecking order.

Is anyone else still holding Carter?

Do I sell Grant, Aubs or Ferg

Auubs - Grant - Ferg. In that order imo.

I also started with him and it looks like one of my better decisions. He's kept scoring ok but *threatening* to go huge but didn't seem to get enough ball until last week, where he went boom. Canberra's right edge looked amazing last week but the worry is that BJ/Rapana's scores change when a) Austin is back hogging the ball, b) they're not playing Wests.

BJ has still looked strong in most games so far this year. He can easily rack up points from tackle breaks and offloads, I think he got 47 the week before with not much else in his game.

How about Evans --> BJ. Only costing 13K then I can move Claw up to second row which beefs my pack while having a potentiol keeper in the centres and second row. Good for byes too.

Muchas <3 Senor. Should get a run come rd 12 though by the sounds of it then when cowboys lose their entire pack (or front rowers, but w/e).

From yesterday's training session:

I've been too busy at work to more than glance at team list this week lads so what's the important news?

Hold off on trading in a cheap knights half until final teams.

Rumours for manly are Walker to fullback and Parcell to start.

Aubusson has gone back to his true home in the centres.

Thanks Milchy, that's me stuffed then.

Current plan is to bring in:

Norman in for ATaylor
KNikorima in for TMMartin

Norman will be a starter and KNikorima playing reserve.

Do we think KNikorima will get enough time or will he be sharing too many minutes?

I'll eat my hat if Walker is the Manly FB. Hes slow, doesn't pass.

I posted that a couple of days ago too. Guess we will wait and see...

Thought about bringing in Croker.. His scores are so up and down. In 90 minutes he only got 26.

Is there any CTR who is good for the byes? BJ? Thats it? CLaw?

I can see the ball going more towards BJ and Rapas side as times go on. Even though they were up against the Tigers, they still have looked strong. Croker got a 51 last week but that's with a try and 16 points from goals.

Holland the other good centre if he can keep his spot.

I still remember the first test game I think it was last year where Inglis didn't come back on after half time and Walker was moved to FB, holy shit! I can't see him going to FB either. If that happens, Barrett is in way over his head.

Who will be FB then?

My guess is Wright.

However as Manly aren't training until tomorrow, who knows.

Agree on the Walker hate at fullback. I won't be eating no hat but.

Parcell to FB. Not really but he would be better then Walker.

Thoughts on these trades?

Hunt > Auva'a
Taylor > Kodi N

Leaves $250k+ banked
