Haha no, just been a very lean few years as a knights fan!

I think on the titans if Copley does play Zillman will go to fb Copley to wing and Cornish onto the bench for hooker relief. In a few weeks I think Simpkins will be starting lock with Paasi back as a bench prop along with Pulu and Greenwood

They reckon Hopoate will now miss 8-10 weeks. First I've heard of this.

A lot of Facebook groups ban 5th Tackle for being click bait rubbish

Smith | Brailey
Vaughan, F Kaufusi - Yates | D Saifiti
Surgess, ET, JDB - K Brom, SMats, Siro
SJ, Elgey - Jacks, Field
Suli, Kelly - Talakai, Idris
Tedesco, Cotric, RTS - Hayne - Phython

Only 16 players this week with RTS out. I have $2K in the bank, no wriggle room for trades. I need to generate some cash and also field 17 this week. I want to keep Hayne, but it looks like I have to sell him. Phython - Abbey gives me 17, but same amount of cash, so no dice on that one.

Anyway, need to make cash, so looks like I'll be trading in Hess. Only options are to do Kbrom - Hess, then Hayne - Abbey. Gives me $75K for next week, doesn't seem like much though.


Any ideas?? Tell you what, even more greatful I started with Tedesco this year or my back 3 could of all been gone.

Thanks!!

I'd back Ponga to average more but score less over their respective game span

I think Abbey can go 25-35 Ponga 25-40

Abbey can hopefully knock over a few kicks to give him a 4-6 point boost and hit close to 35

Abbey will probably be a good pick up for origin too, just hold him for a bit longer... Cash him ousside of origin

Its run by a dude who lives in denver, colorado. Just a random who re-posts crap from forums etc

nice integration

Any thoughts on nathaniel peteru at the Titans. Averages close to 1 PPM. Got 40 minutes last week up from 32 in rd1

Just the one thought really - if i knew who he was or where (and why) he appeared out of nowhere from, i'd probably be a lot more interested.

@Finch your team looks set to go ET to whitehead and vaughn to Jbrom with basically no cash needed in a week. if you can upgrade elgey to lamb that would be my strategy.

cant believe you have dsaifs just sitting there casually

Looks like missed goods to me now lad, especially with that Titans interchange filled with backrowers and props

Simpkins, Pulu, Greenwood

I said it before and I'll say it again as the pages are rolling by, I'm trading Hayne out for Abbey. Not because I have all that much faith in his scoring capability, but I'll have cotric, suli, kelly etc. maturing soon and Hayne seems like he will be a good cash out option.

Saifiti - Cash grab to set yourself up ready for the falling guns

not like Saifiti is even providing you with decent 35s in the interim

take a punt on Crichton and I'd also donwngrade KBrom

Thought a different name would be fresh. Cheers for the input fellas

Has anyone looked into Kikau as an option?

Thumbs up to everyone that gave me advice.

Also hate to burst anyones bubble but Tyrone Phillips is back from injury next wekk. Surely hes a walk up into the team. If Morris really does play fullback it could be either Babby or Inigo to make way
