I want to cash out Taylor but between Matterson, Lamb, Pearsall there's no clear answer this week.

Matterson and Pearsall look like nightmare AE's to me. Lamb seemed far enough away that he'll fit well or drop back entirely. $130k red dots are fine by me, it's kinda the only way to truly cashout sometimes.

If you mean to loophole into Hodgson, then I don't think so.  It will take the C off Cam, place him as reserve, and put Hodgson into the starting position without the C on him.  This is how I understand it anyway.

I am looking at loopholing Surgess or Ted tonight into Cam.

What is this loophole you speak of @SI ?

Not sure it will affect many here but it sounds like there will be a couple changes at least to the side that the Warriors named on Tuesday. Reading between the lines and listening to Allen Mac, while media weren't allowed to attend any more than the warm-ups today, thoughts are that Luke may not start, probably Jazz will get the nod there, and Gubb may drop back to the bench. Not sure who would replace him though, Vete or Lane maybe? All guess work, but things are likely to change a bit by the sounds. Happy was on the radio suggesting something similar too.

Hearing Chee Kam will come off the bench, score 3 tries and fly off on a unicorn. Make of that what you will.

I'm trying to get J. Friend in for Macca & the only way I can manage it is by downgrading Hastings to Lamb. I know this is very risky but with Pearce back Hastings will probably score in the 30's. I know I should probably wait a week to see on Lamb & he's untested at this level but he is talented & confident & could go well. We often see these young guys come in for their debut & really excel. Thoughts.

If Hastings is in your 17 then you are trading two starters for one gun and one potential flop (If Lamb doesn't get the spot like most say)

Thats pretty daring hey... confident.

Speaking of, have you ever seen a Unicorn do cartwheels ?
So funny, they get stuck in the ground half way round.

I just found out that MCK is going to score 3 tries... I would go with him

Boom. done

Better to go tradeless as wait on these young players??

Is Clay Priest from the Raiders just in the team for the short term? Will he get a run with Papali playing Origin?

Go for it. Nathan Cleary is also an option. Good young player who is in line to debut at half for panthers. I'm thinking of going matterson just cos he could make some fast money and could play round 15 and 18 if Pearce is picked for origin and Hastings could be dropped? Willing to wait a week for lamb

JLJ to Matterson maybe an option

After 100 different trade combos this is becoming a no-trade week lol just too much uncertainty so going to hold off

+1

So.. with the talk of there being 3 MAJOR bye rounds (where my H2H has byes across all 3), a quick calculation revealed that I had neglected the other 3? 4? bye rounds. Even knowing Parra would play all 3 major byes, it didn't occur to me that they still had 2 byes in there somewhere.

Luckily a quick glance looks like I'll be covered pretty well, and Gordon to Tedesco is even more of a no-brainer. MCooper is starting to look a lot more attractive than Tolman now too, and probably the better player.

what do you boys think of getting in curtis scott as a cash out for now, until he plays in a few weeks. For me it allows me to upgrade someone to fapeater and also wait on the whole lamb and pears show to play out. 

looking at this article it seems bellamy expects scott to come back in

Choosing PatMat for fourth R over Latrell, Gutherson and Bateman.
