Ryan James just keeps scoring tries which is so unusual for a front rower. Only way to stop him is bring him into my team.

Please do it

I had 11 players this week including opacic and vunivalu. Sitting on 745 with jturbo and Asiata to come. 820 would be nice. Can't complain to much could have been so much worse. In saying that I did drop 2000 places to 4000 something. So maybe it couldn't have been much worse

Squad as it stands with 8 trades remaining (around 78% Slats).

Smith, J.Friend
R.James, Graham, Surgess, Nutira
Harris, Parker, Whitehead, E.Taylor, Taupau, Leuluai,
Hunt, A.Taylor, Cleary, Cullen
Aitken, Holland, Talakai, Su'a
Munster, Barba, Mitchell, Gutherson, French

8 trades left - what would your plan be?

Get Teddy and Mannering.

Teddy I could understand as that's a 20 point upgrade on Barba/Mitchell. This is part of my current plan.
Mannering for who? Most those players in the second row are averaging 50+ and so it would only be a 10 point per week upgrade.

Would be a good option if Harris gets DPP in either halves or centres though.

Try to get Mannering by hoofing ET the useless khunt. Ever since I got ET he's been playing hooker instead of lock.

If ET continues to play hooker, I will also consider getting rid of said extra terrestrial.

Farah will be back to hooker so I'm not concerned.

What's going to happen with Tyrone Peachey now that Hardaker is around?

Peachey should get DPP this week, if he ends up displacing Yeo in the back row might be a handy pickup, especially for those of us looking to upgrade Holland

Im considering only running with 1 gun hooker for the run home. At the moment it seems like there is daylight between Smith and the rest. For whatever reason Jake Friend isn't scoring as at the start of the season. I currently have Wallace as a backup hooker. Might just go with Gallen or James as the final 4th gun.

Farah only needs a paper cut for JT leave him out of the team though

I should just scrape 900 this round.
-Which I am elated about, having had only 16 players with Munster and Parcell out, and having to play Ese'ese and Nikorima in that 16 to boot! In fact, give all this- I think avoiding a 700s score this week is the highlight of my season.

I brought ET when he averaged 58 after 3 games for the Tigers, now 3 games later he is averaging 42, but that included 2 games at Hooker (thanks idiot coach)

Even wacko tweeted the 1 thing we learned about the Tigers game is that ET is not a hooker & needs to get back to a ball playing lock like the Broncos game.

Exactly my plan. I was getting so sick of people above me benefiting from Milf's huge scores so I bought him into my team and put a stop to it. Hasn't gone over 50 since I've owned him. I plan to do the same thing with James

I've considered that plan but the problem with that is if Smith gets rested at any point then you're looking pretty screwed unless you got a good AE option. I don't think Bellamy's ever really rested Smith that much before but the one year you think you only need Smith at HOK is the one year he'll get rested.

Sorry boys, gutted I missed the page 51 party.
Unfortunately they don't let you post gifs while getting a colonoscopy....
though now I know how Semi Radradra owners feel right now

Is that a checkup or a hobbie mate ?

I desperately need a decent WFB, but need to trade out one of Gillett, Whitehead, Taupau or ET (any will let me get any WFB).

So which 2rf to I get rid of, and which WFB to i get? (already got Tedesco & Barba)
