Coote out, Moga in via Cotric.
Then my back three will be RTS, Hayne, Cotric/Suli/Phythian.

I also may have enough cash to do McGuire out, JDB in.

You guys are brave playing Suli in your back three, not to sound petty but it seems more lucky than anything

Already got Wallace

Got all the successful cows so far so would be trading out one of my successful cows to one that isn't working or is a gamble. It's tough to make that kind of move trading out a gun and a money maker early for another gun. Cotric 36, Suli 52, Jacks 41, Elgey 26, Kaufusi 43 currently in my NPR with Musgrove Jwal KBrom Talakai Brailey in the 17

Joshie still scored more than his average. Why so keen to get him out?

I believe he's played Ctr and Fullback for Aus so I think its fine to play him on the wing. FB/Wing isn't all about speed. Positioning, strength, football brain etc he see to possesses enough to offset speed but I also think its a bit unfair on JT to call him slow. The thing that makes Thurston so good is his competitive nature and how often he winds up being in positions like that in which he has no right to be. Legend.

Not sure I agree with this at all, although you could be right.
For me, my doubts are:
1. Wallace will get 50+ minutes every week, Neil Henry said he will be "relied upon to play big minutes for us".
2. McGuire is Musgrove's coach, even though he was their best prop he might be out of the side at any stage (job security).
e.g. Turner to lock, Chricton to second row and Surgess to front row could happen, and suddenly Musgrove could be only getting 30-35 minutes.
I think this would actually be better for the Rabbits. Chricton is a gun, and surgess can just concentrate on not being fancy and just run hard and tackle hard.

Johnny B Goode wrote:Suli was a lucky pick, nothing more. His scores will even out as it goes on. Suli scored 51 points with a try, linebreak and two try assists against a shit team. Cotric scored 36 with a few tackle breaks and a try-save against a top team in a tight match.  
How Suli would score against a team strong in defence like Cowboys would be the real measure of what a good fantasy player he'd be.

Suli v Panthers or Cotric v Sharks??

Do you have Wallace? I would gladly trade any gun second rower to JDB and do it fast. Worth the two trades in my eyes.
Then bring back Gallen/Surgess closer to origin once siro/matautia/kaufusi etc have peaked.

Sadly I don't have anyone in the second row priced higher than ET. Will give ET another week.
Another guy I reckon that could be a cut price JDB I might target instead is Finucane, he should be getting 80 now and could average close to 60 for the next few weeks. Might be worth the investment if you can't splash the cash for JDB. Any takers on Finucane?
Apparently we should have about a month without Bromwich.
