Mortimer at 19. Keep an eye out.

Dammit, Hunt better not be playing or my halves are in big trouble.

Nothing forced about that mate with Kaufusi off the bench and a fairly unatttainable BE it's makes more sense this week than next

They've already signed Matulino, Packer, McQueen and up and comer Alex Twal. Another forward signing would be good, but priority now should be getting a fullback

I forgot Matulino and McQueen tbh. Packer is a big boy but another forward with grunt would be good. Kapow was a massive loss

Same. A lot rides on Niko.

Norman to Moses too punty?
Stick with Walker?

Moses can wait a week.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bukuya drop out and Paulo join the side again. I'm sure Bukuya wasn't expected back until Round 14.

Nah not for me. He's either in this week or not at all

So with Kaufusi and Graham if they both score the same as last week, Graham loses 18K odd and Kaufusi 25K odd. Not too bad I guess if you had to wait a week, which I may have to.

Kaufusi to James Graham was already pencilled in for this week. Time to go over it in permanent marker

Trades this week looking like bringing in Brown and Walker for Kaufusi and Norman.
Next week will be Grahams time but I don't know who to sell between Fifita and McGuire?

Typical. I traded joe stimpson last week, cant believe his starting. Hopefully he gets subbed for kaufusi nice and early

Moses already Parramatta player in Fantasy.
Good because you don't have to worry about him locking out on Friday with the Tigers

Anyone remember why field got 60 mins last week and where he played? Was there an injury? Missed that game.
Hopefully be hangs around for round 13

Aitken went down at around teh 20 minute mark with a hammy and didn't return.

A pity the Warriors play before the Broncos, I want to know if KNik will be starting so I can lay of the Norman to  SJ trade for another week.

If I take the risk and upgrade Kaufusi instead, I could potentially only have Cody Walker as my only scoring half if Hunt is named to start.

I had everything sorted but this Kaufusi dilemma has thrown another spanner in it.

It could very well swap on game day.  I have a feeling it could be Bellamy putting a scare into Kaufusi.  He did say he was going to be ruthless with lazy players so it may change on the day.

NRL PHYSIO @nrlphysio
Corey Norman ruled out til Rd 17 with an MCL injury (6 weeks). Likely grade 2, wouldn't be surprised to see him return in 4-5 weeks


luckily the eels and storm play after the broncs. that way we can see whether niko starts or not and make changes to norman based on that.

lol mango, i thought it was a good thing!

Thanks and thanks for both replies mate

Is there another bye friendly frf similar to a Brown? Seems like everyone is jumping on so maybe finding a POD who can possibly outscore him during byes to make up extra ground would be good.
