Trades this week (so far):
TTrbo to Fuimaono
Burns to CWalker

leaves 19 trades and $4K ITB

Smith Hodgson
James Wallace Tolman Hoare
JDB Surgess Crichton Faufusi CHN Elliot
Pearce Munster Field KNik
SMat Cotric Idris Fuimaono
Slater RTS CWalker MWZ

Not sure which 2RF to put the last R on, or if Knik starts then does he get the R?

Nicely balanced squad there mate with plenty of depth.

With Faufusi named on the bench this week I'd throw the R on CHN and Elliot. However, if KNik starts he may run riot against the Tigers so I'd go CHN and KNik in that scenario.

Can't even look at anything whiskey based without heaving....

Just pass me the strongbow

James far more consistent in his scoring, I'm not taking Taupaus TBs and offloads off him it just isn't sustainable

last year he banged out a few 50s and a 90 odd in a row then followed it up with 30s and 40s

James has the same high ceiling and a higher floor IMO

What about Tohu?

Just remember that James has only just come back into form. It was only a few weeks ago that he got to a point where he was only worth keeping because he could have only gone up from there - just like BJ Leilua. Thankfully he's just gunned a few games now and is on his way to recovering back all those lost dollars.

Would you go with Taupau or James moving forward?

It's absolutely perfect in winter, like a warm and welcoming hug. It soothes the soul.

Where are you based? If in Melbourne or Sydney I could bring some over with me in June.

I just wrote out a big long question but realised I didn't have to post it because writing it out helped me figure it out myself.
It's amazing how much clearer everything is when the options are written out.

Thanks all!

Hold those CWalker trades. NRL's next drama is at the Rabbitohs.

Sounds like a deal. I get to bring in Gallen and if he plays Origin I get alcohol. Though I am not keen on XXXX , I am more of a spirits man myself as I like to really hate my life choices in the morning.

London... might be a bit far for you  . Heading to Cairns for a wedding in July though so I'll have a hunt around then and see what i can find.

You are welcome, glad I could help!

No problem, I got you bae

Norman to either Shaun Johnson or ARey????

Although I'll be keeping a close eye on any news, I've decided not to take the risk with relying on Knik to start.

I've decided to upgrade Norman to SJ and downgrade Idris to Fuimaono. Kaufusi will have to wait for next week. Gives me this starting 17 for now.

C.Smith
Graham, Tolman, F.Kaufusi
Gallen, S.Burgess, JDB, McGuire, Chrihton, CHN
S.J, C.Walker
S.Mat, Cotric
RTS, Slater, Munster

There hasn't been much chat about bringing in A. Rey for Norman. Are people worried about him potentially playing origin?

Oh Jesus no. I just saw the news/rumour.

Didn't I just say I had sorted my team out now? Losing both my gun, bye-friends halves in one week would pretty much destroy my team beyond repair

Next time post it anyway in case your thought process helps others.

But it is a well known phenomenon that just articulating g your thoughts on an issue can bend everything appear clear

The Origin possibility is there but I think it will be Pearce. I am more worried about ARey breaking himself and me having to trade out yet another half.
