Where's the news or expectation for Ponga coming from? I thought green had showed his hand there already and it's not ponga next in line

Bowen and Ponga surely with both Coote and Winterstein both mid to long Term injuries

He will soon, won't have any blood left after the last 2 matches

Wasn't there a couple of injuries to the back line? Coote and someone else the name escapes me.

Yeah I wanted rid of them almost as soon as I bought them and that's when trades were unlimited

Likes of Bunty and Bateman are just flat out better options than KBrom but I went the safe route with storm. Get them all and see what happens. Was hoping it would be Stimson to prove most value!

I think the cows can be so much more dangerous with fresh faces to that roster, it's just the bench that will be depleted

Ponga at the back

Bowen on the wing

Hess starting

Big JT to prop to cover Scott once he serves his suspension

Winterstein again yeah. Bowen first cab off unless he was injured too, all will be revealed soon enough!

Musgrove to Christian welch?

Carlin Anderson.

Welch time limited with JBrom back R4/5. Love Welch and if JBroms injury was more substantial he would of come into my side last week

J-Brom will be back soon so Welch will go back to the bench.

Anderson or Ponga will do

very interesting week of trades coming up i think!

How longs Cartwright out? I'm looking at JFH before Hess. Though his low score in a heap of minutes on the weekend isn't great. I might hold Moeroa he looked really good until he got that early mark. He is my only real downgrade option and I'd love the money to get Lamb

Atm my trades will be:
Talakai out - JFH in (via Sione)
Hayne out - 1 of Ponga/Anderson/Abbey in

With Carty gone JFH should now get 80 mins on the edge.

Thoughts.

Poor choice of words there pal lol, but yes i own ET and hes going nowhere. Downgrading a solid member of your squad to chase the new flavour of the week is dumb.

If rumours of Slater being back are true I will have to move Munster. Can't really make a trade plan until Thursday but will probably be Munster>Capewell with Sione going to centre and Phythian>Cheapie

What about this for 1st trade of season?

Koro>Hess via multi DPP and yes it's a bit of a cash grab

I'd wait and see how Munster does at 6. Have a feeling he'll do pretty well - very good defender, always gets involved and breaks tackles whenever he runs the ball. More hands on the ball = more points to make up for kick return yards. (That's if he's at 6 - if he's at centre he'll get less ball and his scores go down)

Don't know what to do with Moeroa

Taylor -> Hess, Walker -> Ponga/Abbey and 300k for next week, where i downgrade B-Law and turn Pritchard into McInnes
