Nah I didn't like his head - so I didn't want to look at it in my team. I did get Graham and Walker in though.



I've got a blurry Snapchat you're welcome to look at haha.

Nathan Peats, Jake Trbojevic and Brett Morris all coming into camp with NSW Blues today.

Did you see the interview Daley gave last week? I think it was on NRL 360, you could tell he wasn't going to pick Farah. He was hinting towards a fresh slate kept saying (I think?) "Robbie has done his time and has been there before"

Obviously not an urgent situation but I'd be interested in Whitehead's owners thoughts on his future. With a 5 round average of 45 he seems to have dropped off bit from his 50 average of last year and probably doesn't warrant keeper status. Maybe a Round 15 trade out..

Im personally trading him out for Gallen after round 13

Okay everyone run the microscope over my team for Round 12. I'll probably only have 16 available in Round 13 because of having to adjust my Fifi to Brown trade and get Surgess instead but anyway

Brailey
Graham
G-Train, Crichton, Mannering, Whitehead, Surgess
SJ, A Rey, Frawley
Cotric, Manu, Fuimaono
Guth, RTS, Flash, CNK

Ambitious line up for this weekend:

McCulloch
NBrown, Ese'ese, (Graham)
Surgess(vc), Crichton, Fuimaono (Whitehead, BThompson)
Norman, Walker (Johnson)
Moga, Leilua
RTS, CNK, RJennings

18th man: I-Papali'i

That is what I have ready to do but obviously about five of those won't play
The best laid plans of mice and men...

Good man BB because now I'm clear first in L51.

yeah I looked at him earlier this morning and came to the same conclusion. I guess he has til rnd 15 to up the ante or he will be an upgrade.

Yup agree, not a keeper this year, definite trade when possible leading upto R15.

Ouch, Brown losing 36K.

Aubbs looking like a great trade in this week. He was great yesterday and Matterson the obvious mister fix it now.

Yeah I was always eyeing ET off as a mid-range player who despite my massive loss for him will have to be sold. I've come around to feeling that Whitehead is more of a sell than him. ET at least makes for a great 18th man for the run home who's good for at least 40+ every week
Whitehead relies on attacking stats which in the team he plays in could very well happen at any time. However with the likes of Lolo beasting it this year I don't think I can justify keeping him when there are better, more consistent options.

I think I'll go Tolman over J. Graham as Graham seems banged up & I can see Tolman playing big minutes. I think I'll bring in A. Glenn as well because with half the Broncos pack out he'll get 80 mins. I'm debating C. Walker v M. Gordon but I'm leaning towards Walker because they're up against the Eels & with Pearce out it may disrupt the flow of the backline & with a couple out of the pack it might affect their go forward & also they play the Raiders away which will be tough.

Ballsy pick with broncos only playing one game without their origin players.

fifi or brown to graham?

pros of fifi is that i get the extra cash which is quite significant for next week and that brown may play round 15 onwards... although im looking at a brown to jbrom next week...

cons is that fifi will play round 14 and have another price rise, he is a keeper so thats two trades, and he will have a huge premium to pay to bring him back in. another con is that i have to look at browns face smiling at me like hes done nothing wrong.

leaning towards fifi out cos the cash is really nice. and ive got hayne stinking things up and want munster

What we doing with NBrown? Leave him in and hoping for a quick recovery or trading him out? I only just traded him in last round too sigh

My optimistic 17 for round 12:

Cook
Tolman, N. Brown
Gallen (c), Surgess (vc), Crichton, Elliot, Glenn
SJ, Klokstad
Croker, Mitchell
C. Walker, RTS, Cotric, Abbey, R. Jennings

Brown probably out, Mitchell possibly out, Klokstad possibly out, Abbey & R. Jennings will be out. I'll will loophole Surgess if he goes large but I may put the vc on Crichton.

Wait and see for me. He's having scans today I read. I have no idea. I also have Kaufusi, CHN, Norman and Ponga there so depends on the priorities of your squad. At least Eels play first.

As Reginald Perrin's boss CJ used to say "I didn't get where I am today without buying Glenn for Fantasy" I understand a lot of you youngsters will be thinking who the phuck is Reginald Perrin but the old timers will know who he is. I actually named my first dog Reginald Perrin. But seriously he always lifts against the Warriors & I needed a good downgrade pick for CHN who will play 80 minutes. Fair enough he doesn't play rounds 15 & 18 but I think he'll get a 50 against the Warriors.

If we are talking Broncos what about Ofa? Nice score and should also play big minutes.
