This according to Travis Meyn on twitter.

So Hampton on the bench, into the Hooker or left-right-out?

I hope he or Leary is dropped and Hoare comes into the side. Love to hear more about the flow on changes?

ET or Yates - Graham?

I went Yates right now.

Burn your Hampton trade unless you did them last week!!

If the plan is give Mbye a spell at hooker then wouldnt it make sense for him to come off the bench to do so, so he would be fresh, as opposed to shifting him from halfback just to bring on another halfback?

Des is just stubborn and doesn't want to put his big $ player on the bench even though it would be beneficial for the whole team

My Trades this week:

Kelly --> Idris

Yates --> Crichton

I know I did say Yates would still be a hold for now but now I don't see him playing more than 20-30 minutes a game so no point in keeping him where as I will be making more cash with Crichton onboard. Big risk I'm taking. I'll pass on Frawley for now.

MS was the one who suggested him. With both J. Jackson & Klemmer more or less dead certainties to play origin then Tualau should get an opportunity.

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Yates - Graham (Ive kept ET)
Kelly - NPR Red Dot DPP

So Frawleys not a trade. Hamptons not really a trade. I've already got McDs Grand Angus. Make no trades or cull Yates because fantasy feels empty when your not trading

I'm thinking with how these Bunnies and Dogs games have gone in the past, that there will be
A HIA early on in the backs, and then Fawley slips in.

While not thrilled with the news I think I'll keep my Frawley trade. Made a few plans for the coming weeks after trading him in for Lamb, none of which will pan out if I reverse now as I need the cash. Add to that, I think it will only be a matter of time before he starts full time it will just be a trade made down the line anyway

I'm so happy Frawley is off the bench. Plenty will avoid him now. Beauty!

If Justin O'Neil is playing mind games and Hampton scores big then Justin deserves a late night visit.

He would have failed the fantasy city.

Do you guys think I should play Elliott as my final reserve over CHN and Jacks?

Over Jacks yes, maybe not over CHN

Toss a coin between CHN and Elliott.
It will probably come down to which team cops a HIA or injury.

Edit- CHN plays in the second last game of the round.
Always handy to have an NPR up your sleeve that plays late.

Even tho CHN is coming off the bench? Wasn't sure what his minutes were going to be?

I might play Winterstein as my last reserve over CHN & Jacks.

CHN for me.

HIA for Elliot today

Cheers Chucky, I think I might stick with Elliott.

CHN has a high ppm so if he says gets about 40 mins he should score in the 30's
