Is it worth downgrading KBrom to Musgrove to free up some cash.

Only have $9k in the bank, and that is probably the only trade that doesn't seem a complete waste.

Just thinking I might need a bit of a war chest in the coming weeks.

This was talked about a fair bit yesterday, trading to someone perceived to score similar for a quick cash grab.

Everyone makes mistakes at start of season

Also why all the Hayne hate?
Scored 32, albeit with a try. Breakeven now 14. Could easily put on a decent score against the knights and everyone will be on his dick again. At that price, he is still a steal. Did people really think he would just start flogging out 50s? Or griping he was not more involved- When has he ever been?

Why will Ponga get named ahead of Bowen or GGM. Apparently they're filthy he's leaving and carving up in the 9's means jack

i think feldt has a small shot at snagging an origin spot outside clubmate oneil which may provide an opening

but ultimately its only one bye game (week 15) where ponga would see action barring injuries

I dont mind it, its actually better than it was. Previously we would all over react about a named side which meant nothing because there was no repercussion for a coach changing that later in the week.

At least now we know who is a chance of playing and who isnt.

Tbh I dont think many teams will make changes other than whats been forced by injury or suspension and those replacements were fairly obvious anyway.

Got confused by NZ kick off time and was drinking. Missed Elgey to Jacks for free. Same night Suli in 17 and Hayne on bench. I guess Hayne I would've always got. I posted on here over a week ago how Idris looked pathetic on trial and was dropping him. Would've been Kelly. One Fifi draft I made needed to drop Python to 138k.

I wasn't sure on Jacks security so that's why I started 4 halves all with solid job statuses

Still no concrete Slater news but I'm rolling the dice on Jacks sticking around and banking some $$ and hoping on some price rises

Idris will lift eventually when he is back into swing of things

Have gone for Saifiti to Musgrove purely for the cash and similar points. News of TBurgess being dropped is surely helpful in some way.

Watch Saifiti get 80minutes now.

Agree. At least we can see who they aren't naming

Musgrove or Sironen?

My halves are SJ Koro Lamb Elgey. Koro was a complete flop but I was being clever of Brailey blew up in my face so I had an easy switcheroo. Hoping Koro does better but very concerned with this Manly pack now

Usually prefer an 80 minute backrower, then again its Sironen

edit: i have both

What's worse with Koro is you would expect 80 from a hooker with such a depleted pack but they added Cullen another utility onto the interchange which would be a worry for Koro getting 80 going forward I think

I have musgrove and i just dont feel like he will be more than a 40 minute player.

Doesn't need to be as long as he continues his workrate and busts the odd tackle

Extra minutes are nice though

It's him or Wallace and i worry about his minutes if Proctor stays healthy

I just wanted him to hold his price for a week or 2. I had Moses in my team forever and would've rather ran with him after SJ. Just that Brailey niggling doubt

Good planning mate, honestly

Koro will lift, -14 in errors would of put him at his 80 hooking avg

Proctor should always play 80. He has no influence on my decision to start with Wallace. I was happy with 55 mins

I did the Elgey to Jacks trade, as I realised I would need the cash in the bank... Also figured that Jacks would score similar, but had potential to make quicker money. On top of that I'm hoping that the Return of the Slater will be delayed by a few weeks.

I also hung onto Ata, with the plan to take the little cash he made, and trade him out when said Slater did return and move Guth to the halves... to hear the rumour that Foran's return might have been delayed (like my homeward bound train every other afternoon) brought a fantasy fanatic smile on my face...now I just need Shaun to pop Ata through a hole in the defensive line and I'll be laughing
