If you haven't got him already, I'd stay away.

Personally, I picked him up after his round 1 score.

BLaw - To upgrade or keep for round 15?

Thinking I might keep. I'll have to work out the difference between what he can score between now + round 15, compared to Fifita/anybody over the next 2-3 rounds too

Edit: Actually, just typing that up, Fifita should score more than BLaw over the next 2 rounds, than Blaw will over the next 3.

Smith, Parcell
Fifita, Graham, JTrbo, Cheapie
Parker, Mannering, Burgess, Whitehead, E.Taylor, Bateman
Hunt, DCE, Feeney, Hughes
Aubs, Dennis, PatMata, Henry
Ted, Barba, Mitchell, Gutherson, French

Thanks in advance.

Worst position at the moment. Budget?

Not sure about Bruce (or Byron either) but the current mail (for what it's worth) seems to be that Bryce will play. Hehe.

Bhana supposedly comes into the side as bench hooker

The week we need him, he doesn't play, the week I don't want him to play he'll come in and score a 20.

With Paulo cleared to play, you'd think Fensom zero chance to come into a side he wasn't even named on.

Pfff...we all know him as Bruce now after the Origin team lists ;-)

Also.....Dumb decision to cashout PatMat for Copley??
I'm wanting a cheap Ctr who has a chance to play games over the byes....other option could be Curtis Scott but I doubt he'll make the team much

Just the one trade, Fensom to Jbrom. Put the R on Smith he doesn't play i'll put it on Holland

Feels weird not Captaining Smith. Still unsure on who to chuck it on.

Friend
Fifita
Surgess
Graham
ET
Jtrbo
Thompson
Hunt
DCE/Pearce

I think I'm putting the C on Fifita.

Hunt's a safe bet. Or VC Hunt and C Graham if you can loophole.

Any mail on Scott's chances of getting a game? Won't be able to loophole if he does.

I'm doing Graham (or Friend if I had him) as a saver bet. Suspect Fifita may get a bit more rest until the end of SOO.

My fourth reseve choices this week: Welch, Bhana, Asiata or Feeney. How very annoying.

I DON"T WANT TO ALARM ANYONE but I saw a link on FB saying he was potentially in. Apparently it was from the Storm. I can't remember where it was so if you search something might come up.

Feeney officially out now apparently.

Well thats good news - going to be one stinky round if smith doesn't play.

If Scott is in he replaces Feeney as my 17th player. Guess i should be happy with that.

Spose i should be happy that i have 17 players

Oh bloody 18/19 if Smith and Fensom somehow are named, that will make things tough

Good decision to get rid of Pat Mat. Not sure about Copely, but in general Roosters are good for Rounds 15 and 18.

Seeing a lot of talk about Hurrell...his BE is 42 so may only be worth a trade in if you're down on centres this week....one to keep an eye on for sure though
