For what its worth Kevin Naiqama  has been named in no 4 (normally wears 3)

So looks like he'll be playing with Suli on the left (with LittleJohn/Brooks), and Idris with Nofoaluma on the right (with Moses)

That would make sense. Idris was a right centre with the Dogs.

holding. got bigger problems to sort out

JFH was out with a fractured cheekbone.  Seems unlikely that's just a 1 week injury?

Don't know.
But thinking that post means you aren't getting totally smashed by that cyclone, which is good.

Random wrote:How will Matulino affect Bodene?

Would it at all?

I would expect that Matulino goes back into the FRF rotation and has little to no effect on Bodene. I may be wrong though as I know in past times BM has been utilised in the 2RF.

Holding Welshy. I personally think that SMat is more of a trade out target than ET.

Phoning home?

Yeah me neither.  That goes for all my reserve decisions.  Happy enough with my team. Just keep starting the wrong guys.  Was pretty happy with this for this week :

Turbo SMat
RTS Slater Cotric

Now Idris is in.  Hmmmmm

I have those 5, but think I'm going to run with

SMat, Idris
Turbo, RTS, Slater

Happy to run with that for the next few weeks whilst I look at upgrading Brailey

Cheers guys

Only problem I see with dumping SMat is the DPP

Way I see it unless ET is playing 80 he is a sell, SMat in the CTRs with 35-45 is what I would expect and is realistic
I would rather that than 40-45 of ET playing 60

ET to Bodene is a move I may make, better long term I think

That sucks to hear I hope they can get back on their feet!

I got burned by Ponga last week so I don't think I want to risk getting fucked by Mr. Panthertrapface.

Thinking Moga or Talakai to Slater and just waiting to see what happens with Lamb. I don't really know what to do with my team, so many mid options but can't decide on a gun upgrade. Everyone still has opportunity to increase bar Moga unless he finally gets a try. Was keeping the coin for Macca/Innes but might not need to just yet;

Smith Brailey
Fifita Wallace Musgrove Yates
Surgess Hess SMat Kaufusi Siro Winterstein
Norman Lamb Jacks Elgey
Idris Kelly Talakai Moga
RTS Turbo Cotric Suli Ponga

284K in the bank. No idea where to start here.

Got rid of Smat for Tolo this week. Can Aloiai even play 80mins? Surely ET stays on and Aloiai gets a breather

I can see your reasoning and can agree with the trade if you are bringing in Bodene who looks like is back to his 80min role fulltime. The DPP of SMat is definitely a good point for him but TBH I'd rather the consistency of ET over SMat. 

Either way, both are pretty much at their peak. I will be giving SMat this week and then off loading him for a new CTR, it's hurting my eyes to look at the rubbish I currently have to operate with back there.

I'm in no rush this week so can afford to sit and wait, ideally I want to keep SMat just need to push him into my CTR

Welshy wrote:What is anyone with ET doing?

How could you sell him now after holding him through a missed game and a start off the bench? I think Cleary will be calling the shots by game day, so if he doesn't play 80 mins he is a definite sell, but surely you at least gotta give him the chance! That boy had bled for you this season!

have Smat and Latrell in CTR
And its killing me watching BJs price dip within reach of either.
