Oh no!!

Well Idris out is a spanner in the works. This will change my trades as now I need a good ctr.

Idris has ruptured his ACL at training. Same knee as last time

GONE FOR THE SEASON (could be for good)

I hope Aubusson is named to start in the 2fr later on as he'll be the ideal Idris replacement. If he's not my 2nd choice would be T-Trbo even though he'll have bad byes if he's named in origin.

mwz likely to get a start now?

If Nofo is out then I'd say so.

Still has to oust one of Tedesco, Nofoaluma, Suli, Chee-Kam, Naiqama

Possible, but far from guaranteed

My ctrs are piss poor = Cotric, Talakai, Kelly, Idris

I'm so over playing 1 of Kelly or Talakai to partner Cotric so with Idris out my 2 choices are:
(a) Aubusson - b/e 61 so his price likely to fall but if he's named to start he's the best ctr for byes or
(b) T-Trbo - b/e 32 & a gun but if named for origin has bad byes

Who would you choose. It has to be Aubusson if he starts at 2fr regardless of his high b/e due to byes. Do you agree. Cheers.

Mate, I'd take Aubs but the centre debacle is a worry. Not sure what SKD was given but he is a Mr Fixit within that team so could get shuffled anywhere.

Its not just CTR that is a worry for Maubbs.

Last game he was demoted to the bench. No guarantee he'll be able to get it back if Cordner/SST/Guerra stay fit.

If he's already in our team I'd keep him for round 12 when origin means he should get good back row minutes. But no way I'd be trading him in myself now

Also, roosters are last game this round. So if Aubbs is named to start, you could be left with no sub options should he find himself back on the bench last minute.

Assuming T-Trbo gets named for origin he misses 1 more game than Aubusson but if Aubusson gets shunted to ctr then I'd say T-trbo could score more regardless of origin.

Hmmmmm Idris to whom..... i aint going to lob cash into that spot. Will be my last issue to deal with.

T-Turbo looking like the standout option in the CTRs at theh moment. Probably could be justifiable to pick him up pre-origin.

AM I CRAZYYYYYYY

Trade C.Smith out for McInnes?

Damn, Idris hey, sucks for him.  He's that really awkward price too.  I'm running SMat and Turbo in the centres with Kelly still on the bench so he can sit tight if need be.  Might trade him to Semi via Cotric if he can return to form.

Could go Idris to Hayne! Hmm....

Yes.













Looks like I will be looking at Idris' dreads on my bench until I am down to like 3 trades and desperate for some cash to upgrade someone. His 80k profit is not worth a trade at this point of the season.

Start to look at the team lists, first thing I see......Ponga number 21 and Hess on the bench.  Damn I'm scared to look at the rest.
