Why? Gordon goes missing when you need him most. Expect a score in the teens or twenties this week.

not 100% sure if jayden su'A starts or not. he may get swapped to the bench. if i pick him up though (by dumping Lamb + about 10 dpp moves) i can bring in Hunt this week. apparently it is his defense which has won him a spot in the side.

Who would start instead?

IF it was to happen, i think Jai Arrow, he plays 80 mins every week in the Qld cup. Su'A is still a 20's player. but we'll see. i hope bennett sticks with the named 17

Is Jimmy James Graham?

Yes it is!

I was thinking of going Aitken and ET, but want JGraham also. Is 514K too much to pay for him? I feel it is, but his scores are obviously worth the asking price tag.

J. Graham is worth every dollar. He averages 59. With a b/e of 49 this week his price can only rise.

Just as I thought.  Looking at either;

Blaw - Felise or Kaufusi o Ese'ese
Lolohea or Lamb - ET via Claw
Mansour - Aitken

or

Lamb - Hughes
Mansour or Lolohea - Felise via Claw (Just for the DPP)
Blaw - JGraham

What do we think?

Thanks.

^ sort of depends on the rest of your squad i think. in option one i dont particularly like downgrading blaw - ideally you turn him into a gun forward as per option 2. but in option 2 you're only getting one keeper out of the trades.

Smith (Parcell)
Fifita Surgess (Blaw, Leulani)
Fensom Lowe Carty (Claw Bhana Benry)
Milf SJ (Lamb Feeny)
BJ Holland (Lolohea Guth)
Barba Mitchell Munster (Mansour Radradra)

I'm thinking I need another forward, looking at Graham in the front and Surgess in the back with Claw back into the centres then I still have 4 decent 2FR. Aitken would be nice, but my backs are pretty stacked already especially if Claw moves down.

yeah i think option 2 suits better.

Thanks mate, you're a champ.

You know thinking about this Hughes fellow, I know nothing of him, but it looks like he'll play at least two games, but Green has spoken of resting JT again and he did rest him in one game last year, so there is potential to snag another game in between the origin rounds if he does well this week.

alright, so revised trades:

ash taylor-> ben hunt
brock lamb-> jayden su'A
aubbs -> aitken

leaves me with 16 trades and this for rnd 11

hodgson
graham (C)
fensom, whitehead, ET, kenny edwards
Bhunt (VC), Norman, Feeney
Aitken, Holland, Su'A
Gutherson

If he rests JT but not Morgan, then you'd think Hughes would be the one to make way.

Its also not outside the realms of possibility that he gives Kalyn Ponga a run at some point oo (Has he signed anywhere for next year yet? I remember reading a little while ago that Brisbane were trying to sign him)

They are fucking solid trades.

hmm. yeah i know nothing of him either.

bit of googling. 172cm and 90kgs according to cows site. has played NRL once before for the titans in 2013. been playing FB for the blackhawks in q cup. not sure if he's a better option than su'A, as you say, will ~likely~ play two big byes (if he gets another go in rnd 18).

That's the only thing if this Su'a goes to the bench like you said, Hughes might be a potentially better option.

Hughes is a cash out that plays 2 difficult bye weeks and then disappears into obscurity. What more can you ask for?

its really just tossing up between cash outs.. su'a gets one game (scores ~30 maybe?).. hughes gets at least one, probably two.. scores between 10 & 40 each game?

its not that big of a deal really, but the extra points it could yearn would be valuable for overall standings.

Well I'd have asked for Brock Lamb to have made more money before I cashed him out.

I have to decide if the $70k and 30 points or whetever he'll score is worth spending a trade on.
