Definate hold mate

would of been back to 80 had he not took a shoulder to the chin

Ok mate thanks. CHN to Taupau a good trade for this week and then McGuire and Kaufusi to Gallen and Graham next?

Id hold onto CHN with Fisher looking doubtful he should be back to a starting role, Taupau has always had huge games in him but his consistency isn't up there with the Gallens, Grahams etc I don't see the need to grab him fella especially with him missing 12 and 15

Anybody got the break evens for this week?

What do you guys think of these trades????

K. Ponga to C. Walker
J. Leilua to J. Bird

My WFB and centres would look like:

N. Cotric, J. Bird, B. Kelly, T. Fuimanono 
C. Walker, J. Tedesco, R. Tuivasa Sheck, J. Hayne, S. Radradra 

Or
K. Ponga to L. Mitchell via N. Cotric 
B. Kelly to J. Bird

My WFB and centres would look like:

L. Mitchell, J. Bird, J. Leilua, T. Fuimanono 
J. Tedesco, R. Tuivasa Sheck, N. Cotric, J. Hayne, S. Radradra.

I'm worried if I get rid of Leilua he is going explode.....

ahh crap, know you weren't talking to me but for some reason i had it in my head that Taupau played 15, guess i'm back to the drawing board on getting Kaufusi out... any bye friendly keepers in the FRF position not named Graham that i have overlooked?

Even without byes I think Taupau is a risk, without checking properly of top of my head last few years average has all been around the 50 mark, has the huge games like last few weeks but I'd be wary

Fifita but 95% to be named for NSW
James might play origin but plays 15 he is my main FRF target after Graham
Vaughan plays 15

don't think you can look past Graham at his current price

I would imagine Bird would be playing origin...too late to trade out Leilua and he plays the first bye anyway. I like the Walker trade though.

Don't get why everyone is jumping on Taupau....going by history he probably going to get a suspension down the track or score badly. Doesn't play first two major bye rounds either...

Oh really? I didn't know if he had been playing well enough and thought maybe D. Walker, Hayne or Morris might get it?
Leilua does play the first bye but don't know if I want another single digit score 
Thanks for your advice!!!

definately not looking past Graham, just wanna let him lose some more money before he comes in next week.

The timing just plain sucks, was looking at James/Vaughan but both have been thrown up as origin possibilities, would be nice if i could see a squad before pulling the trigger, but Kaufusi is gunna go backwards and money will probably be tight for me trying to put together my final 17 as a Nonga.

With FKaufusi now having high BE and potentially less minutes I'm going him to Graham a week early for a perceived points boost

Graham should only lose a further ~$10,000 i can live with that for a probable 15-20 extra points

Maybe instead,

K. Ponga to B. French
J. Leilua to M. Aubusson

So many possibilities...

Hurrell, Mitchell, croker, Holmes, bird, Walker

I wouldn't bother dumping Leilua mate not until after R12 anyway, no point losing the money especially when he can bust out an 80 at any moment

Have decided to bring in C. Walker and J. Bird. I don't think Bird will play origin.

My team this week,

C. Smith (c), (A. McCullough)
A. Fifita, J. Graham
E. Whitehead, P. Gallen, S. Mannering* (A. Elliott), (C. Harawira Naera), (S. Stone)
S. Johnson, A. Reynolds
N. Cotric, J. Bird
J. Tedesco, R. Tuivasa Sheck, C. Walker

If Mannering is out, my final reserve will be out of S. Radradra, J. Hayne, T. Fuimanono.

Yeah true, but he has let me down massively with his single digit scores and I don't have anyone to replace him on the bench. B. Kelly sucks and not sure if Fuimanono can't pump out another 42ish score.

I'd look at it like this, he is due a decent score after going so poorly last few weeks

Jack Bird could play origin, pretty likely IMO, that trade could turn horrible with him missing R12 and R13, R15 and R18

All I can say is the CTR situation this year makes me yearn for the days when it was Soliola/Bird and Aitken, set and forget.

Y'all could always try giving Josh Morris a go. The guy is the 5th best CTR as far as points scored goes. Has good byes and his time in Origin has passed him by.

Thanks for your input guys, I'll have a think about it.

Thanks welshy, still not sure but I'll think about it. Such a tough one..
Joey looks like he's playing injured too, not going in looking for the ball, missing easy tackles and getting palmed off easily, no fending players at all. Looks like he doesn't have any strength in his shoulder or something I don't know..
