Another 4-6 weeks until Munster comes back so probably not worth the trade given you've missed few price rises. I don't think Jacks will be too useful over Origin either. The specific reason he won the spot over Brodie Croft is because Croft is too similar to Cronk. Over Origin they'll probably use a more controlling half to partner Munster.

im thinking he is the main issue which has caused a reshuffle because they dont have anyone who can cover wing apart from johnson?

They have Nielsen but apparently he is on the outer to the point that he won't be playing first grade again while he stays at the Rabbitohs.

So Seggy is going to be useless right? Brailey will still make some money and then cash him out for someone else but Seggy isn't that someone given he won't play 80

So it seems Capewell has a secure spot as E. Lee dropped for Feki & not Capewell & Beale on extended bench. I might take the plunge.
I'm not liking Musgrove being named on the bench again. It looks like his days as a cash cow are numbered. With a b/e of 25 this could possibly be the last week but should make 1-5k.

That doesn't help. Currently I have Isaac Luke and Brailey. Was looking to drop Isaac (ASAP) and brig in McCullough.
Could run both Sharks hookers and cash on out in a few week but also do need the points.
Would have been easier if his BE was high !!

You keeping Musgrove for bye rounds?

Glad to see Norman, RTS, and SMat named. That's a good sign.

I hope Hingano gets another game before Foran returns... squeeze some more milk out of those udders. I was quietly hoping for him to bag a try before Foran's return, just to get that extra boost. Not in a hurry to trade him out though.

Why won't he play 80? Pure speculation here, but my prediction is this week Brailey starts seggy on bench, next week other way around, third week no brailey. Any Sharks fans have a better guess?

Also noticed that Idris has been named at 20... is he coming back with JT gone? hmmm

well he didnt play last week due to injury, little info about it. hard to tell where he stands at the moment.

I've executed some trades, post advice received;
- FRF: Shannon Boyd for Felise Kaufusi
- SRF: Jai Arrow for Luke Yates
I've freed up some cash now to buy a better FRF next week. I was thinking Jesse Bromwich? Or is Paul Vaughan a better option? Cheers!

Idris played under Cleary at the panthers right? Hopefully he gets the coaching gig then Idris slots straight in to starting centre

Probably will but won't want him losing too much value. I mean he's no good for the byes if he's only pumping out scores of 20 odd.

Hopefully Cleary gets the gig and plays ET for 80

Pretty sure Munster will play fullback, either Slater is injured or in Origin, Croft and Jacks as halves.

Im trading Jacks in, i may have missed 90k but he still has another 100k if he scores 35 from now on

Yeah you have a point there. I don't know just if Munster plays at 6 for a while, Bellamy might opt to use Tonumaipea at fullback like he did last year. Your scenario is probably the best side to field though, I don't know how that line-up slipped my mind.

On Musgrove, I think he got the same minutes last week as he did the first two rounds but just didn't get the points. It might be worth waiting and seeing how he goes this week before thinking of trading him out.

No way Bellamy chooses YT over Munster for FB. Croft/Jacks as the halves, Munster at the back.

Musgrove still on the bench, at number 17. Looks like close to a trade.
