I really dont know what to do with JDB and even thinking holding. $506K is a lot to have sitting on the bench but I'm already on 18 trades and really didnt want to use any for next couple rounds of so. FRF/2RF is only place I've got depth to do it.

I had thought of this but its not a bye friendly solution. Hoping he makes a macca like recovery huh??

You would think it being his rotator cuff it might take some of his tackles away too or a slow start to get back into form once he does return. So maybe it might be worth dumping now for someone who will score you points now

I was going to hold Manners and Merrin through the bye period. Holding an injured JDB leaves my second row absolutely shot for the first bye. JDB was my big drawcard, playing the first two byes. I gotta get another Dragon in there methinks. Will watch Cooper this week very closely and see if he rises to the challenge, however much a downgrade he would make a suitable replacement if he can start pumping out consistent 50s

Whitehead or friZ to replace JDB?

I am thinking Kniko

Man I hate posts like this. I'm trading away Teddie and JDB to get a 17 up and running (with a couple of res. as back-up in case Peats ain't at Parra come the weekend.) Sad really.

Anyone want someone injured or dropped? I'll trade them into my team for you. Just saying how it's been going.

Go with Holland.

I don't have JDB, but if I did, I'd be selling. No way would I be holding him.

I wonder how many people are going to get burnt chasing last weeks points with a stink 20-odd point effort this week from gutherson. i'm likely to be one of them

Why not have both hehehehe

Fortitude wrote:Whitehead or friZ to replace JDB?

I went Whitehead, so Friz will probably be better

Can anyone confirm that we get an extra trade during the bye rounds? I can see from reading around that it was a thing in the past, but I can't find anything current to confirm it is still a thing this year.

Surely this is the last of the injury run!

Now you've said it, no it's not. Close your eyes this weekend.

Pretty sure you get 3 trades in those 3 big bye weeks.

I went looking for confirmation myself as we did have it in the past however I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere this year whatsoever. I'm planning for having 2, just in case.

Interesting to see Jai Arrow named at 13 for the Norths Devils this week and that team list came out after the broncos one

He's a fullback.

Heard rumors about him moving to 5/8 though. Isn't that where some fullbacks end up? Darren told me.

Chase Stanley returning in the NSW cup this week. Might be a good sign for Holland since Phillips is still in the side with Hoppa out

From the rules
“Once the season begins, you are allocated a maximum of two Trades per week. During the bye weeks, users will be allocated an extra trade. Therefore, during the bye weeks, users will have 3 trades. The Trades DO NOT accumulate, thus if you don’t use two Trades one week you are still limited to only two Trades the following week.“

Doesn't say what the bye weeks are, but in the past it's only been the big bye rounds (12, 15, 18 this year) and kept at 2 for the smaller bye rounds

Oh, great. Thanks! I could find similar statements only for previous years.
I am going to be out of trades WAY too early but I don't really have a choice.

Is Lamb kind of a must have now? That's coming from someone who doesn't have JDB, Mannering or Tedesco.

Fuck Bhana too. I started the year with him anyway so will leave him, he might get another run over later on.
