Talaki - Yes, should keep his spot until Gray is fit (Round 10)

might even be permanent with inglis's injury. gray could return on the wing for the new guy coming in while talakai remains

Last two players into my team were Tamou and Api K. Got sick of all the pre-season options and just went with them for various reasons I can't remember.
They are the first two out of my team.
Tomou > Jallace
Api >Norman
Think there may be a bit of upside there since Api doesn't seem to be included as an 80 minute player.
Have plenty of cows (mostly the same as others have) so will keep Pthing until the next cow crops up hopefully around origin time)

Why would you trade him in if he won't be scoring for 2 games? It's not like his price will change lol unless you're thinking of trading out a player that is already falling in price and you're looking to hedge those losses.

What are you on about?

I was telling people that a potential trade in target AFB was facing a potential 2 match suspension, I wasn't suggesting to trade him in.

Barnett will score A LOT more than 35 90% of the time. He is an animal

Hmm I don't know i f you should buy him though. If the Knights eventually became better on attack and scoring more points, his tackle count would go down and so should his points per game. Also you will need to consider the bench rotation as well as they become better on attack.

I am thinking Barnett could average low to mid 50s playing at lock and Wallace low 40s. I think that Wallace is neither a keeper or cash cow so I don't think he worth bringing for me. Unless he is actually going to get 70 mins each week, which seems unlikely.

Why talk about it now? There will be better potential trade ins probably by then

So you think Barnett will get 80 minutes every game?

To stop people bringing him in now.....

People can't be that stupid can they by bringing in a suspended player?

Evening all! Back after a (very) lengthy break since the old sportal days

Keen for some thoughts on the following: was going to play Phythian as 3rd WFB but that clearly fell through. Liked Dugan pre-season but opted against spending that much down back (went double-Cam at hooker) but think Gutherson is the go with his byes. Considering this:

E. Taylor -> Moga (via S'Mat) or (NPR 2RF or FRF under $185k)
Phythian -> Gutherson

or

Take M. Gordon instead of Gutherson and have $202k for the NPR

Hope everyone is still still treading water after Rd1!

I think he will get 60-65 mins, about what he got in round 1

Not everyone reads the articles or news, This forum is for helping others for sometimes can't or don't have time to do all the research.

@welshy and @TBO having a "who's on first base" style discussion

considering winterstein. but im not sure what the pack will look like once lussick is back (week 5). if you were to trade him in you would want 100k out of him but he may not reach that in time. it would be more like 40k if he continues to avg around 30.
if he avgs around 40 then i would bring him in.
what you guys reckon, yea or nay?

Moga is the next big thing. I'm already regretting my decision of not bringing him in round 1 after reading these comments about him being injury prone.

Gutherson > Gordon.

I'm sure by the time his suspension is confirmed, there will be a red dot next to his name which will make it quite obvious I would think.

Scored a 31 in 70 minutes with no errors, I wouldn't bank on him staying clean in other games

stay clear I would

I think TBO has had a few monday evening cordials

I don't have a problem with @welshy just a problem with him talking about a player who won't even be considered in round 2. Who cares?

No I'm just pissed off. I'll be fine.
