Interested to see if it really results in Macca getting reduced minutes or not. They're sitting in the Top 4 having had him play every minute of game so it's working just fine with that arrangement. It's just outside of Macca there's no real legit 2nd gun HOK I can see.
McInnes looked the goods to start but has really tapered off recently. I thought Friend maybe if he plays 80 but he recently got a 40's score playing a full game so who knows.

what we gonna do with niko? anyone still gonna hold him for week 12? only reason to do so is if milford gets called for origin which is unlikely, otherwise its 10-25 points and likely a small loss in cash

The equivalent to fucking someone's mum on COD.

Average comment mate. Rabbit has me beat on that front so I'd prefer to stick to fantasy and helping fellow fanatics out and challenging others opinions. All good fun.

Hold, could play fullback round 12 maybe? Not sure. Will be a round 13 trade regardless for me. Probably for Munster.

Cheers for the heads up, mate! Enjoy the time over there not spent working.

Also, can you bring us back 15 pairs of headphones?

Thanks mate!

And you do a good job it, have given me and team Fuxtain plenty of advice. Just prefer reading banter than arguments.

I've heard rumours that there is an Ewok colony on one of the remote islands of the coast of Indonesia in the Indian Ocean...

Fair enough. I guess my opinions were too bold for someone and got called out for it. I will try tone it down. Guess if you don't want to listen to my advice then you don't want to win!

Just a bit of banter for TBO. No hard feelings, just one of those things you write that you probably regret after

He has a BE of 7, I'll hold him this round, but won't play him in the 17.
Will reassess him next week... (maybe we'll know more about the Lolohea/Moses rumours by then)

I want to bring in Norman this week (Lamb to Norman) but should I wait until round 12 so by then we'll have more info on Moses going to the Eels & also whether or not Norman will play origin. So which option do yu like:
(a) buy Norman round 10 or
(b) buy Norman round 12

Thoughts & thanks.

I'll be heading to Indonesia on a work trip tomorrow so I won't be on the forum as much for the next couple weeks...

Do you want to borrow my boogie board?

@ Chewie. I hear the Indonesian girls love foreigners & chewbacca's so be very careful of those girlboys at 3 a.m. when you're supposedly working in the local bar.

If cash is tight, and you definitely want Norman for byes, bring him in this week - as his price will only be going up in the short term.

If you are worried about Moses, and/or you have enough cash reserves then you can probably afford to wait and see see what happens.

Yeah, I get those feels. Upon reflection my outburst may be a result of Mondayitis and needed to stay in my safe place for a little longer.

Was going to offload Hess for someone like Brown. Hess I think has to go with no JT around. If Hunt is back though, I'm gonna have to do something with Lamb. Won't have the coin to upgrade Hess and do something worthwhile with Lamb. Could leave both Lamb and Niko and play Frawley instead. Surely getting the starting gig he should be good for 40 points.

Norman won't play origin ahead of Morgan, DCE, Milf, Bunt, Munster probably in that order of preference for Kev W. He wasn't even on the list in contention that I saw.
Not sure what Moses affect will be on Norman but I doubt Tigers release him. I would make him play reserve grade even if they get Lolohea over.

Good point, Hess hasn't scored well since JT's absence... I'll have to re-think what I'm going to do with him

People holding/dumping Wallace.

He is still probably $30-$50k of his max price. But the low score of 19 last round means it will be a while before he gets there.
Thinking about ditching him for Nathan Brown - who has better byes, and may even turn out to be a keeper
Wallace I don't think is in my final 17 - so if I don't trade him now, will probably ditch him round 17/18 for a final upgrade

I'm dumping for Surgess this round and already got Nathan Brown last week. Think he may get reduced minutes and only start to hit 40-45s going forward.
Choosing to keep Kaufusi instead for now given round 15 and 18.

Would have held until round 12 but the 19 puts a hold on his cash making in the short term.

The Wallace 19 changed my plan. Had planned on holding him a bit longer, however, with Brown's low(ish) BE im now going Wallace to Brown this round. With Graham's price likely to plummet, ill hold McGuire right up until he misses his first game and go McGuire to graham.
