so I've definitely got to hold Fensom and Taupau either way.

I think he's a hold for 3 weeks, but an extra gun scorer for 12/13 would be pretty useful.

If he gets 4 weeks & misses 15 then he's dumped.

Also what's the word on fensom and his scans?

i'll probably end up holding taupau but fingers crossed for me that fensom is right to go..

upgrading BLaw this week seems like a good option while cashing out a wfb/ctr. interestingly enough auva'a has put together a couple of reasonable scores in a row as well and may become a genuine option in the scoring 17. he is outscoring holland of late but they are always going to be volatile scorers.

Aubbs will become a trade out within a week or two as well when SKD returns (whens he due back?), and word that TAUK will play tonight, he'll be pushed back to the bench.

Is jdb a hold or sell? I really want to hold because of a lack of genuine upgrades plus I see him as a keeper being a valued 500k 2rf. Otherwise I woulda traded him this week. Matthews did well, but I'm not convinced his scores will be 50plus for the whole duration of jdb's injury. It's a tricky one for me

If Fensom doesn't play this week, then he'll definitely be right for round 12.

With Taupau, it's not just the possible 3-4 week suspension he's facing now, but all the loading and the fact that he's a complete nutcase and will continue to fuck you hard throughout the season.

He's the type of player that will dogshot someone in the final minutes with the game already decided. Had him last year, never again.

And if Manly don't improve, he will just get more and more frustrated where this sort of shit comes out.

My 2rf is pretty weak and I have 127K to possibly spend, perhaps upgrading Blaw.  W.Graham was mentioned before and the first one I thought of, but really, who else is worth looking at?  Tolman stuck around the 40's, Mooper looking okay, Woods out for origin, maybe Friz, ET in a week or so.  Mannering next week?  My current forwards are;

Fifita Surgess (Blaw, Leulani)
Lowe, Fensom, Carty (Claw, Bhana, Benry)

Definitely need another gun. Wanted to do just 1 trade, but maybe need to do 2 to look at Harris or Graham.

Where might I be able to find stats from last season? Because I want to look at games where Will Matthews played out the 80 minutes and what his scores were like. See if he's a fluke or for real player

Haven't got minutes though, I guess Milchy would have those somewhere.

Whats the story with Taupau? Another stupid suspension? Do you guys reckon he's a hold? with the bye rounds coming up holding him probably costs me 100 points if he's out for 4 rounds. Thoughts?

He played 79 min in round 7
80 min in round 12, 15, 18, all in the back row

His lowest score out of all of those games was 39. Hmmmm seems decent enough for me, even a mid-priced cash-cow perhaps.

Good luck with it. He also started in round 8 but only played 63 minutes so theres another stat you can research. His other starts later on in the season were at front row (2) and once at ctr

Hold. He should be back either next week or the week after.

I'm holding btw.

He better be out until Round 16 or I am going to neck myself.

Shit bro did you sell him already? Damn. I might hold him another week and see where he is at.

Keep in mind Rd 19 byes too - Tigers, Cowboys, Bulldogs and Raiders out.

That's Lowe, Fensom, CLaw of your current line-up. Tolman, Woods and ET of the possible trade-ins mentioned.

Friz and Mooper will miss Rd 13 if that's relevant to any H2H players too.

He could be invaluable to guys like me with no trades left later in the season.

You would be crazy not to have Benry in your squad.

It said anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks.

Don't forget how quickly Tom Trbojevic managed to recover and he was meant to be back by round 14!
