I'm actually surprised metre eater Vidot isn't in the side. He would provide some more go forward to start their sets as he did so well at the Broncos. Maybe he is lacking match fitness or something. Surely Copley will feature in the side from next week on however maybe he could play on the wing like Kahu does at the Broncos.

Vidot was injured to start the year. I had him pencilled into my team all preseason

For all the Holmes owners. Wacko just tweeted that Holmes confirms he will be playing against the Dragons.

Captain choice:

Smith or McInnes?

This is what I was afraid of happening because I wanted Holmes from the start of the season. Stick with season keeper trade in of CWalker or roll the dice get Holmes in, save ~$150,000 and hope he elevates into a gun in the FB position?

Haha

Holmes has dropped from 5.4 to 4.5% ownership this week.

Back to RTS a/e strategy.

I will cop either Cotric, Jacks, or Yates; which is more than acceptable considering some of the back lines I have seen that will be running out.

Team is set for the week now.

Moeroa to Hess

Elgey to Lamb

My team for this week. Anything I'm missing?

Trades were
Papalii to Hoare
and
Idris to Abbey

Smith McCullough
McGuire Kaufusi (Hoare Yates)
DeBellin Gallen Wallace Matautia Sironen (Stone)
Johnson Lamb Elgey (Field)
Moga Kelly (Suli Talakai)
Trbojevic Cotric Abbey (Hayne RTS)

I'd still go for C. Walker.

F*** you HESS. Those with him have been lucky.

I will take McGuires points instead and get my cash from basement cash cows. Going TRD, basement price and should make $70K which is all I'll get from Hess anyway!

Haha, got to love this game, the ups and downs and the angst deciding on trades.

Guns and Cows is the way to go so I'm going to stick strong.

ET to McGuire
Hayne to TRD

next week looking at Idris and Papalii to Abbey and ??

Glad Stimson and Capewell won't be getting a game this weekend. Look like good cash outs in the forwards. Surely Capewell doesn't play with Holmes back and possibly Beale also.

Just said he's playing it didn't say where. Still think he pops on the wing the first game

General rule of thumb :
Don't captain any player that doesn't have a C in their name

Yep I'm staying away from Hess. Will either be wearing the egg or hating to say i told you so.

I'd go for Holmes. I heard that anyone who trades in CWalker is stupid and a jerk

When is foran back? Worried that Johnson will lose a fair bit of kick metres and assists

Someone posted ages ago that DCE was a better scorer when Foran was there so the assumption was he won't affect SJ's scoring potential.

Would anyone trade Moeroa to Ness or Wallace.......Moera not really looking good but still early those other 2 are scoring real weel at the moment.
