Yeah, I was looking at adding Walker to my backline once he got DPP
I guess it will have to wait

There was an article yesterday saying Paul Green may rest all origin players for the Monday night clash with Manly.

Yay for more potential Hughes appearances but I'd say they'd at least play one of Tamou/Scott and JT. Cowboys were awful without their Origin stars against the Dragons last bye round, even with a team as bad as Manly it'd be a bit of a risk resting everyone.

Bren wrote:Looking to bring in another 2RF as cover for the run home (Already have Surgess, Jtbro, Whitehead and JDB). Was looking at either Merrin or Mannering. Merrin will play 1 more game on the run home then Mannering however Mannering could make up those points in the remaining games he will play. Is anyone else in this same situation and cannot decide between the two?

Ive got all 6 in my team after trading this week. for the same reasons of depth. my issue is with jdb and whitehead. their forward packs have been unpredictable these last few weeks. I was looking at ways of offloading jdb but i can'y do it with so few trades left. may you still have that option

a fair few teams will be able to captain loophole this week. VC Fifita C CS9 looks like a good option

Averages have me at 887 from 16 players if everyone plays this week.

Loopholing (vc) James, (c) Smith

Top 17 averaging 951.

Kata resigned with the Warriors

Well I've got Inglis and dont really know what I'm doing with him.

Hardaker $220k, WFB only

That's a steal.

Mitchell ---> Hardaker is going to be a pretty common trade, I'd guess.

Hardaker is as cheap as we could have hoped for.

Its too expensive for a pure cashout, but super cheap if you want to take a risk on playing him in your 17.

What are the chances of Frizz backing up do you think?

With Morgan out for a month does that mean Hughes plays FB this week and Coote to halves. This would help me a lot

Hey @Welshy, is Hardaker a must have like Whitehead?

why are some of you guys so high up on Hardaker? He'll probably be Greg Eden 2.0

Unless things have changed, Ray Thompson is next in line, and Hughes wouldn't come in unless Thurston/Coote also out

Does anyone know when he'll be starting?

Was going to loophole but looks like with Thaiday out, Ese will probably get a bench spot. Not worth playing him just for the loophole.

Want Mannering but still undecided whether to get rid of Semi or both Mitchell and Guth......

Ray Thompson is listed on the NRL website's casualty list as having a knee injury, with an expected return of round 18.

Just checking up on something...

I've got 17 for this round including Eden

What would happen if I took the "R" off Eden and put it on Hughes who at the moment has a red dot by his name but has a slim chance to play if Thurston is rested.

If Hughes does play I'll get his score but if he doesn't play I'll get Eden's score anyway as an AE....is that right? It feels like I should chuck the "R" on Hughes as there will be no downside if he doesn't play (apart from Eden's crappy score of course.....)
