Lowe is a no go really. Look at his scores, pretty poor considering 80 minute games.

Would Tim Grant be a worthwhile pickup at the moment? Should see some good minutes over origin with Woods out.

Rabbitohs v Dragons changes:

Only if you've got a decent amount of trades left.

Really should be bringing in keepers or bottom-priced cash-outs now, at the very least someone who'll make you a big amount of cash if you're only bringing them in for the bye period. ie maybe a Brock Lamb type.

Trade him in and you'll be trading him out again in a few weeks.

Its been said before but this Hastings thing is a bummer.

Is anyone weighing up DCE/Hunt for Hastings ? At the moment I have Hunt penciled in. Not considering the Milf because I already have Mbye who is a boom or bust kind of guy (IMO)

DCE has been fairly consistent since hes been back in a team that has had a tough run, is he a chance of making origin or will Morgan be the half/utility guy instead ?

Hunt has a high BE and tough game this weekend so possible he won't make that.

Haven't seem much chat about DCE, would have though he would be decent option assuming he doesn't play origin ?

Thoughts ?

My halves are currently Hunt, Mbye, Taylor and Lamb.
This week Taylor becomes DCE.
He shouldn't play origin unless there's an injury to JT, Cronk or Morgan.
He'll do most of the kicking with no 5/8 at Manly.
He's a good defender, and last week he was even running the ball.
I think he's a great option.

i think if you want hunt (obviously a season keeper) then theres no point waiting a week. he usually scores well in these big games just due to tackles + kick metres. i reckon he'll score 55 tonight

dce also a great option imo. i think manly will find their way and his scores will increase (if they can start to put the same team on the park week to week). hmmm he is priced really well too.

dammit now i'm considering going DCE just for the cash saved. downside is 1 less rnd 12 player but at the end of the day both miss two big byes and both are keepers so the end result is the same. that extra cash would greatly assist in turning Blawrence into JBrom/etc.

I'm sure it's been said. But possibly no holland this week.

Only just saw it as well. The source I saw was more a guess.

hmm. holland out would be good for me as i wasnt going to play him anyway and his BE is 41.

if he plays its a lose-lose for me, he either beats his BE and i miss the points as an NPR, or he scores shithouse and drops cash.

On nrl.com it says that Stanley may come in for Holland but in wackos late mail for supercoach it says J. Morris is in doubt with a knee injury & Stanley may come in for him with no other late changes expected. I think Holland will play.

Hopefully at least one of Holland and Fensom play otherwise I'm down to 16 for the week.

If both of them play then I don't need Gutherson's AE!

Use your trades

Ayyyy.

On the work Wifi network.

I still need to trade Taupau out and probably Blaw. I think Blaw can wait a week though as I was going to trade him for Fifita, don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Also have Parker but I'm happy to wait a week on that. Big game tonight, fingers crossed for 50 at least

If you go to Panthers v Titans late mail I'm thinking of this trade:
V. Leuluai out & Fisher-Harris in
JFH seems to have a foothold in the starting 13. Will wait until final team lists come out of course.

Do you like the trade.

Not for potential keepers who might miss one week. No.

Besides already traded out Jaifiti ---> Harris and Hastings ---> Hunt.

Hoping to hit my first 900+ score this week despite having Fensom,JDB and Teddy on the bench...

I'd say you won't do it.

Ok, I have DCE penciled in coz it gives me the cash to bring in Fifita for Taupau rather than Napa.

I don't think I will be in the running for total points in my league so Fifita and DCE feel like a good fit for me side.

Hopefully next week I will finally be able to bring in Aitken after the third week of trying

Blaw might (I must admit it's wishful) actually get a good score with Taupau out.
