This.
I might do it as CHN (TPG) probably has more upside than Papalii.
It also just makes me feel better getting rid of both him and Pthing in one week.

Just imagine that the ball is Kane Elgey.

Great little analogy that

Posting that clip....
Bloody declaration of war that shit and so far out from origin

James hooper has "guaranteed" that Ivan Cleary is the new coach of the Tigers.

Well Joel Caine said 48 hours ago that Cleary has signed with a team that isn't the Tigers and it was going to be announced in the next 24 hours.

Somebody is going to have egg on their face.

Ponga out hurts a little, but I started with him so its not two wasted trades. He'll be back soon enough so Ill hold him in NPRs for now. How many more price rises do people think Suli, Rennings, Talakai and Kelly have left in them?

One of my trades will have to be I. Papalii to china guy and Ill have to offload one of those 4 backline players this week for a new cow or NPR or Slater...

Team this week with 24k in the bank. I just can't see anything

Smith, Brailey
Fifita, Vaughan, Kaufusi, Musgrove
McGuire, ET, Bromwich, SMat, Sironen, Yates
Norman, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
Talakai, Kelly, Suli, Idris
Turbo, RTS, Cotric, Hayne, Abbey

Thoughts people?

Surely those are counted as TBs... Points for Elgey!!!!

Think I'm holding this week, unless any bright ideas?

Smith, McCullough
Kaufusi, JWH, Yates, Perrett
JDB, Surgess, ET, Voldermort, SMat, Whitehead
CWalker, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
Cotric, Idris, Moga, Kelly
Slater, RTS, Suli, Abbey, Hayne

$34k

Might punt Hayne/Abbey to move Smat into CTRs, I CAN upgrade Lamb to Norman if I dump a 2RF for CHN

So being serious about Grevs for a moment, could he play the role of a 60-80min lock for the titans? Paasi is out for a decent time and I'm wondering if they don't end up switching Pulu to the bench (either last minute this week, or next week). Or even if he gets decent minutes with a James suspension. Although I don't really know much about how the titans have been using their bench this season. How have they normally brought Greenwood on, is it through shifting McQueen to lock or something?

Talakai - TPG

329K left

Then is it worth doing Phython/Suli/Kelly/Cotric to Slater? Not Cotric really, looks the best of the bunch.

Currently got Phython penciled in for the trade, while the others stick around and make cash for another week.

Doubt Grevs will play anywhere near 60 minutes, not this week anyway.

Any particular reason Joe Stimson got 50+ minutes last week?

Im all over CHN. Even if he doesn't play again this year, thats a good 40k+ extra. I guess for me I feel like I can make the move, because I have only used two trades total so far this year, so it feels like I have extra trades.

I missed the boat with Hess, I'm not missing this one. Cartwright is obviously no good if they haven't even got him in their 21.

Because of JBrom I think?

Not sure?

I wanted to start the year with Stimpson FWIW

Hookers are stock standard
FRF is good
2RF is ok
Halves are fine
CTR is like everyone else
WFB is decent

Looks like everbody elses team really, especially the CTRS. 24K isn't much wriggle room. If you wanted to start making cash to upgrade next week you could trade Talakai - TPG like I did. Otherwise next week 24K might not be enough to get the flavour of the week.

Back 3 of RTS-Tedesco-Slater

Looks good.

So when will the Panthers team be shorten to 19?
