Gahhh trades this week are a pain

Still playing around with this.Below was what I had for past couple weeks but MWZ has me tempted.

Only real upgrades are in the halves I can make this week and considered Norman but this Moses news and some talk of origin has me waiting another week.
Munster would be my choice this week if i do go a gun.
Fuimaono my priority choice as byes and keeps my DPP halves swap too.
Still leaves me 203k to play with in future trades.

Then it would come down to Frawley vs CHN as my 4th reserve

If you do go that way, I'd think a starting Frawley beats a bench CHN. Pity Dogs play first up so you can't wait on potential late news out of Penrith

Idris > Fui is pretty locked in, at least they play at the same time so should be able to see what the go is with Fui.

No idea what to do with second trade.

Been looking at trading out Idris for Fuimaono, but also thinking about Curtis Scott. Who is more likely to actually get good game time over the byes?

Young T looks ahead of Scott in the depth chart. Assuming CHambers and Slater both play origin opens up 2 backline spots, so depends if Munster slips to fullback or if he stays at 6.

Fuimaono rumoured to be getting a run this week, but who knows how long he'll stay in the team for

I need a couple of heavy hitters in my ctrs & wfb's:
Idris out - T. Trbo in
Ponga out - Hayne

I know they will play origin but all the round 12 outside backs aren't scoring that well & their scores are suffering due to poor team form. Thoughts.

Just caught up on about a dozen pages.
I had Lamb to Munster and Kelly to MWZ locked in. I'm of the belief that MWZ will get the start and hopefully for another 3 weeks at CTR to get his DPP (he played inside his brother for Penriff a few weeks ago right?)
This changes if Fuimoano starts. If he's on the bench, I'll go for MWZs scores in 80mins rather than Fui off the bench.

Elliott starting does nothing to guarantee him good minutes - I've owned him from the R1 (so very happy), but he's nothing but a cashie. I give him 60mins max unless injuries help him out again.

Surprised not to hear anything on Lolohea yet. He was supposed to make it known today (either to Tigers effective immediately or Cowboys for next year).

Given the likelihood of late mail this weekend - what are those rules about picking your reserves / VC to make sure you keep the flexibility? Milch posted it earlier in the season.

Further - the Daily Errograph's text on the Fuimoano rumour is not really solid. Seems to be just their own speculation as to who will start where if CWalker is moved to FB:

Asked if Walker would play No. 1 against the Tigers at ANZ Stadium, Maguire said: “Possibly.” The move would see John Sutton play five-eighth, Alex Johnston shift to the wing, Braidon Burns drop out and Tyrell Fuimaono come into the side for his debut.

Without hearing the full discussion with Madge, its hard to tell. Of course Madge would be the one dick teasing all the fantasy coaches though.

Have a Samsung 6 now keycode (4 digit) locked. I never do this, but certain circumstances led to the new pin today being forgotten straight away

Are there any secrets or easy ways around it that any of my brethren know about here ?

Ok a computer log into Samsung dive, log in using your Samsung account and then unlock/remove the pin code from there

Whoever plays earliest out of your chosen 17 should be in your starting team. This way you get to change an R if there are late scratchings through out the week.

PODene or Elliot or Lowe?

Any mention of how long Jennings is out for?

He's not even listed in the casualty ward on nrl.com so that leads me to the conclusion that he was dropped.

Cheers Milch. Still mulling this one over.

Dylan Walker made him his bitch last game. And even Kelly and Taufua showed how crap Talakai was. One of them was always going to get dropped after that shit show. However, I do think Rennings picked up a slight ankle injury and wasn't able to finish the game (just from what I saw).

GreenMachine wrote:Any mention of how long Jennings is out for?

I asked this a couple times on the previous thread and I didn't see any answers.

I thought he came off with an injury in his last game, so while there is nothing official out there (as far as I can tell) surely its injury related rather than form. That line of thought seems to be given more credibility with him not being in the NSW Cup team list either you'd think.

Would love to know what the deal is though!!

i'm going to have a wait and see approach with Fui. If he has a similar role to Cameron Murray then we can't expect a decent score

CHN for Elliot anyone? Extra round 12 player and got some good rises coming hopefully. Good idea or not?

Regarding Rennings, someone also mentioned that he's not on team lists for Reserves either, so there maybe substance to the injury keeping him out. I think it was in the fantasy blog on nrl.com

Nope. CHN still has money to make, is still on the fringe of starting, so probably a bit sideways. Probably see how CHNs bench minutes/score go this week
