It was out of him and Fogerty as to who Frawley came in for. I picked Field to trade out for no real reason. Worse still is how depressing Frawleys last two performances have been.

He's cheap as chips tho, you can always bring him in later if he goes well.

It would suit me fine if Jacks isn't named in the Storm 17 because (a) I won't have to make any trades & (b) because the Storm play 2 of the 3 big bye rounds 15 & 18 so I can just use him for those games when Cronk plays origin.

Am I being too silly to wait it out like this and miss the points production of the gun half? Ideally i'd prefer having Pearce or Arey for better byes over SJ who I'm not convinced can provide the points explosion with Foran in the halves and Kearny looking to make the Warriors play less adlib footy

I think Lamb is fine to hold for the time being, but Peace and Arey will probably get dearer over the next couple of weeks.

Is he a garuntee to replace Cronk? They might look at Croft for the number 7.

But in round 13, 16 and 19 he backs up on saturday, friday and saturday respectively. So turn arounds of 3,2 and 3 days.... i dont see him keeping on with the big minutes during this time. Thinking of trading to brown, surgess or graham might be the way to go

I would make a call if he got selected, but I'd probably just keep him. He could come home just as strong if not stronger, especially if he gets an origin call up. Fo the price everyone picked him up for, I think I'd be happy to hold him.

That would be great as I have Field as well but I think Mann will get the job. However Field has a chance to fill the bench utility spot that Mann was used for.

If Slater gets picked for origin then Munster to f/b & Jacks & Croft in the halves.

I don't own JWallace but wish I did.
He's definitely scoring like a keeper at the moment, but if he's picked for origin, he might get reduced minutes as you suggested...
I guess it also depends on the depth of the team... how many injured Titans players will be back on the field by then?

I would hold, and decide closer to origin if I were you... You can always trade him out before round 12 for someone like Nathan Brown who has similiar output and DPP

You don't understand OTBP, Im a professional...I can't just willy nilly trade in a player I just traded out



banter...

Regarding Wallace re if he gets selected for origin. I would keep him for sure. I regard him as more of a keeper than McGuire who I will sell & Fifita who I will also sell especially since the Sharks have a bye in round 13. If Fifita doesn't play origin I will keep him. Ironically it could be Gallen who gets selected ahead of Fifita.

I do notice the odd post getting missed...
sometimes my posts go unanswered...
but I'm not to fussed about it

but I agree with your explanation of it, it's forum life

Plenty of times my posts get unanswered but just ask again & eventually you will get a reply.

He is definitely staying in team until origin squads are named. But with his price he will be almost a straight trade for surgess. During origin he will miss 3 games, have 3 game short turnarounds and 2 un affected. Say he gets 45 on rnd after origin, 50 on 14 and 17. So during rpunds 12 to 19 he will score 235. Surgess at an average of 50-55 will score 300-330....during the hard bye rounds an extra 65-95 will be handy.

Or they could put YoungT at fullback but he would most likely fill in for Chambers so Jacks would be very unlucky to miss out over those weeks, so I think he's safe.

It's definitely a wait and see thing. You know Qld are pretty loyal so I wouldn't be surprised if we see the likes of Guerra and Myles in the team again even though they have been crap. Seems Kev rates Napa so I think he'll get a start over Wallace. Depends on all this Papalli stuff too with the drink driving.

You don't have Surgess?

I think either Surgess or NBrown would be a good choice (just pick whichever bye round schedule fits best for your team over the bye period)

Yeah, I don't know if Kev picks JWal, especially if he has got him in his Fantasy team

Anyone heard anything about the Panthers team makeup tonight? Interesting we haven't heard about Harris. I think if we haven't heard anything he might not play.
