Has to be Talakai surely 

Previous posts on here suggest Idris has a foot problem so he will be back, and Hayne is guaranteed to have his position as soon as he's fit. 

Talakai seems to be the only one who has genuinely lost his place

Ponga might only get 2 games Coote injury not long term.

Knights will be riding high after last week, I don't see Souths flogging them. Should be a good contest.

Why trade out Gallen when he has almost bottomed out in price when you plan on potentially trading him back a few rounds later? Not only that but for Jamie Buhrer who is averaging 50. This is not a sound plan at all, it looks like you are just trading for the sake of trying to get the latest "it" player. I think you would be better off finding another way to raise some cash. Just my 2 cents...

the 200k from trading Gallen should allow me to bring in 3 guns (J.Brom, Bodene & Whitehead) from 4 trades in total.
the Buhrer trade was just an afterthought and may not even happen !!

It certainly is a gamble. I seem to recall Bowen doing very well when injury cover but dropped as soon as was it Coote returned?

Gallen and Surgess are going to be two of the best options playing both rounds 12 and 15. Not to mention both are keepers. Absolute madness to trade either of them out

I don't think Souths are that good rather Manly were that poor

Personally see bunty 20 mins on hoffmans edge, progressing through the season to take his starting spot by season's end, and will get 20 minutes in the middle also. So total around 40 minutes now hes back on the bench.

Indeed. Never trade an uninjured keeper

im going to bring in pkaufs and play him this week and maybe next week as well before bringing whitehead into my 17

going:
kbrom to pkaufs
jacks to lamb

i think pkaufs has 100k in him over a 10 week period up to 280k. for me it seems low risk. 2 weeks in my 17 then into my 25 and hope he becomes a slow burner

OK, there is a certain practise that needs to stop.

Indeed, and I'll try and have Pthing out of my team by next week.

If you knew Ponga averaged +60 next 2 games but dropped out would get him for the points and potential to come back later on in season?

This. Don't trade out keepers, especially bye friendly ones at that. Gallen and Surgess will be in most serious team's come round 12 so its wasted trades.

You don't have to trade a keeper to use the money to get 2 keepers. That's what your cash cows are for. In three/four weeks time Suli, Moga, Cotric, Kelly, Robert Jennings etc will be near max at over $250 K and you can trade two of these for a keeper and a cash cow.

Im leaning towards no trades this week, will give Moeroa 1 more week also lets me look at PKaufusi.

Unsubstantiated rumour that RTS is out.

Guy just posted picture of Foran in cafe and says he said Lolo to FB

odds just dropped for dogs from $2.65 to about $2.50, so I am guessing you are right

odds dropped from $2.80 to $2.65 when foran was out

Would be very surprised if Lowe (50 minutes) isn't at lock with Cooper/Hess playing 80 on an edge. Leaves 6 players to play in the middle to pick up the void.

Bolton, Paufusi, Lowe, Asiata, Hoare and 1 of Fensom/Spina/Jensen. Either way Hess will play 60 minutes and I will be happy with 35 points given he will make good money.

Your forgetting Hampton as the bench utility.

Does he drop out?

This weeks trades, brought to you buy Zanax.

Patch up jobs/Consolidation exercise.

Probably
Hayne > Abbey

Why can't someone expensive get injured so I can at least bring a gun in. Sick of all these rookies
