Alright for both of our sake's I'm hoping Hunt explodes. I've also got Gallen in this week now that Thompson's out so big minutes backing up from Origin would be nice.

Looking at your team I'd be more inclined to downgrade CLaw and Guth and get another boom forward in. Much more reliable scoring and I don't like the idea if downgrading a solid scorer in SST just to bring someone in a less reliable position (even though he has a high average).

That's a good point man, I'll downgrade Guth, maybe to someone like Hurrell cause at least I still have a backup if need be, switch Talakai and Claw and get Mannering or De Belin next week. All dependant on Munster obviously. Thanks, good thinking and welcome.

PS. I think Gallen will be fine in regards to minutes, it's Gallen ffs haha.

Mannering almost certain to move to 2nd row hey?

I hope they keen him at lock, we look much more solid with him in the middle.

Based on the named team, probably Gubb to 13, Mannering to lock. Unless Cappy finally hardens up and moves Matulino to the 2nd row and Gubb/Lisone to starting prop.

Lillyman out too, not that anybody has him I dont think.

Running with this. Gives me a shot at loopholing James VC and Gallen C providing all 3 possibles don't start.

Smith, Friend
Jurbo, James, Gavet?
Gallen, Merrin, Cartwright, Mu'a
Pearce, Cleary, Barba
Su'a ? Talakai ?
Walker, Mitchell, Manu, Hardaker

Graham, Tedesco and Leilua to come in next week. 15 starters and 3 possibles this week...yuk.

1368 overall currently. Improved 1600 last week. Have been as high as 330th. It has been a hard year. 4 trades left. Should crack top 1000 this week, then hang on for the run home and hope for a few injuries to guns

Work out who your solid Captain choice is.
Work out who your VC that could go LARGE is AND plays before your Captain.
If your VC goes LARGE then swap out your C with an NPR.

For your team example, JBrom as C and SJ as VC (Cam is a worry this week).
If SJ scores under 60 (my personal "loophole is on" score) then do nothing.
If SJ scores 60 or more then sub JBrom out for an NPR.
SJ's score will double (eventually) and you will still get JBrom's score as your AE.

And make sure you definitely have 4 reserves selected.

Team:

Smith (Friend)
James, Surgess
Merrin, Harris
Taylor, Hunt (Cleary)
Gutherson, Aitken
Mitchell, Barba, Manu, (French, Munster)

Also have Su'a and Talakai on the sidelines.
Could be a lot of ins-and-outs

Manu, Munster, Su'a, Talakai - all of them could play or none of them could play.
Am going to have to keep an eye on the games this round.
Not drinking at the moment so hopefully that helps hahaha.

Smith Friend
JBrom Surgess JWH
James (vc) Gallen (c) SST
Cartwright Cleary Hunt
Aitken Tturbo Manu
Barba Guth Hardaker Munster

Assuming one of these doesn't play, I'll be able to loophole

Podene gone now, no one is immune to the fantasy gods.

Assuming it's a one week thing so guess I'll hold and stick with bringing in Macca and Hurrellcane lol

Apparently Munster will have a fitness test tomorrow. So fingers crossed.
What is everyone's thoughts on trading Dugan to Hurrell to free up some cash? Or should I play it safe and go with Tom Trbo?
Don't have many trades..

I've gone with Hurrell as a downgrade for Semi, pretty much bottom dollar with the slim chance of actually win useful over this final period. Will use the funds gained next week

Also had to change my VC to Surgess this weekend. Not entirely convinced but options are short. Only other candidates are Milf, Macca, Aitken, Hurrell

Carty for captain

Cheers for the input bulldog!
His break even is 30 which isn't too bad either.

No worries buddy.
Not to concerned about BE, don't plan on trading him out any time soon.

Is there any news on Parcell??

Apparently the club says he is still another week away.

Hmmm well looks like it's Macca in this round as planned, was hoping to put it off, but with Bodene out will need another body

Sorta wanted Bodene over Gal but fuck it, that's the way the cookie crumbles
