He is very highly regarded and I think he signed for the next couple of seasons. Souths nabbed him from Parra if I'm not mistaken.

138k ctr starting in the forwards? YES PLEASE.

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 ?

Turn the phone in to the lost and found

Mannering -> Fuimanao
Sione -> Gray

Does Sutton score better in the 1/2s than the Forwards?

I think he may start off the bench not in the 13. From memory I think he was a star in the under 20's & they have big wraps on him. Played Junior Kangaroos, NSW Under 20's & Australian Schoolboys.

What's the logic behind trading Mannering especially to someone with no real job security? I was considering a Mannering to Nathan Brown trade which has more upside but I decided to keep the trade because Manners is a keeper and he's not out long enough to justify a trade for me.

I don't see why you would sell Mannering & Fuimaono is better in your ctrs. Sione to Gray sounds too sideways.

@Johnny B Goode

Rabs says he is a future gun so that is good enough for me.

Well that locks in my Idris to Fuimaono trade i think. Even if it doesn't end up happening he's close enough that he might get a run, basement price and dpp. Allows me to get brown in.

I'd be tempted by Manners to Brown...

If Manners is out for the next two weeks plus he misses rounds 15 and 18 that's 4 of the next 9 rounds. Also Browns BE is quite good this week.

If you have enough trades and don't have more pressing issues in your team it's not the worst thing you could do.

Edit: Actually taking into account Browns two byes it's only the extra 2 games he misses over Brown...but hey, Warriors do have shit byes so that's something

Ponga and Leary drop out of the Cowboys 21.
Smith and Abbey drop out for the dogs.

I'm thinking the same. A decent cash out option would be much welcomed.

Someone asked a while back how Barba was going in France... He's just been sacked by Toulon. Not for any naughty reason, just not needed, apparently. Played a total of 96 minutes for them.
Might be on his way back to the NRL. Which club needs a fullback in 12+ weeks time?

Looks like I'll be selling Ponga even though I'd like to hold him:
My ctr's = Kelly the only one playing (Talakai, R. Jennings, Idris out) but I'd rather not play him
My wfb's = RTS, Slater, Cotric playing (Abbey, Ponga out)

I will sell Ponga & Idris to get 2 good ctr's.

Not surprised. The thing people dont realise too when they see a he signed a huge 2 year mulitmillion dollar deal is that he wont see any of that cash now he has been given the arse. The French rugby contracts work very very differently

Called it, was never going to make it over there

With Ponga out he turns into Munster. Actually really liking my team this week which probably means i will score shit house.

Always the way mate. Good to see you right up there too Fraser.

Welshy wrote:any advice on potential trades please lads getting a bit stuck, original thoughts are getting Munster in for Lamb

Smith, McCullough
Kaufusi, JWH, Sele, Perrett
DeBelin, Surgess, Brown, Whitehead, Crichton, Jenson
CWalker, Milf, Lamb, CKN
Cotric, SMat, Idris, Moga
Slater, RTS, Hayne, Suli, Abbey

Lamb to Frawley for me, I'm waiting on Munster, which could prove a mistake but just not keen on him having so many attacking stats when at half those couple of games. If he was playing fullback I wouldn't hesitate. And not expecting more than 25's from Frawley either

The Telegraph is saying Elliott WILL start.
