You know you haven't bye planned well when Parra is a top 2 team for byes and I own exactly zero of them

As no-one answered, Norman is looking to come back in 2 weeks.

I haven't got any eels either - up to his injury I was going to get norman in, but I probably won't now due to the injury impact and certainly not until we see how Moses impacts on him.

I had French until he was injured, but even he may have lost a spring in his step, which was his biggest strength.

Worth the risk?

It's been done before, but takes a bit of effort to set up.
Have to make sure your extra CTR/WFB etc are zero chance of playing.

If Brad Abbey (or whoever) suddenly jags a bench spot, you'll have your AE plans stuffed.

Also gives you no wriggle room for other late withdrawals because you are already relying on an AE.

Musgrove!! Bye planning paying off hahahaha

A few changes to the teams tonight, but nothing that will affect many I would think.

Rabbitohs

1 Cody Walker
2 Alex Johnston
3 Hymel Hunt
15 Tyrell Fuimaono
5 Aaron Gray
6 John Sutton
7 Adam Reynolds
8 Thomas Burgess
9 Robbie Farah
17 George Burgess
11 Kyle Turner
12 Angus Crichton
13 Sam Burgess (c)
Interchange:
10 Robert Rochow
14 Damien Cook
16 Anthony Cherrington
19 Zane Musgrove

Eels

1 Bevan French
2 Semi Radrada
3 Bradley Takairangi
4 Kirisome Auva'a
5 Joshua Hoffman
6 Clinton Gutherson
7 Mitchell Moses
17 Siosaia Vave
9 Kaysa Pritchard
10 Tim Mannah (c)
11 Manu Mau
12 Tepai Moeroa
15 Daniel Alvaro
Interchange:
8 Suaia Matagi
14 Beau Scott (c)
16 Kenny Edwards
19 Will Smith

So I don't know if this sounds stupid buuuuttt...

Which way should I go,

Option 1
J. Leilua out, A. Fine In
C. Harawira Naera out, S. Burgess In
A. Fifita out, A. Tolman in
Leaves me with 15 for the round and 22k in the bank. Only chose Leilua as there is no one else I want to get rid of and gives me the funding to get tolman.

Or

Option 2
B. Kelly out, A. Fine in
C. Harawira Naera out, S. Burgess in
A. Fifita out, Junior Paulo In.
Leaves me with 16 for the round and 31k in the bank.

enough to put the VC on him??

he should be on takarangis side as 3 lines up against 4 on opposing sides

Woah, woah, woah... I don't know if he will be VC worthy but you've gotta risk it for the Arrowroot, I guess.

Was unsure on frawley, mainly was for 90k towards Yates to tolo or jdb next week plus gives me another number for 12/13.
How long is j Rey out for, he due back soon?

nrl.com says Reynolds back round 15. If you get Frawley you'll end up with future a.e. problems.

I've been saying since the beginning of the year that if Fuimauno starts at centre, get him in. I still say that. Off the bench, he'll be average. At centre, playing 80, I expect him to do an Aitken.

I've still Gurgess. Watch him get sent off in the 12th minute now

That's a tough one but I think Leilua gets back on track soon. He could very well be a keeper CTR the rest of the way. I also think if you are losing Fifita then Tolman is a decent consolation prize, so option 1.

Who else is boarding the Spanish Steamtrain - all aboard the Alvaro Express

Gurgess promoted to start... so tempting, but he has poor control of his hands, and elbows for that matter

Yep to do it you really need trades all the way home.

Well worth doing though.

Does Smith take Pritchard minutes?

Nu brown a better option maybe, available r12 r15, frawley was a thought to gain some points / dollars then upgrade later. With j rey due back sooner than I thought he may not make enough.
Didn't want to go Nu brown and kill a position after playing 2 rounds with fogarty already a dead position in the halves but would give extra funds for upgrade of k nikorima

Pearce isn't on a bye this round.  

But to answer your question, after lockout you can swap SJ for any player that has not yet played. Either a bye player or someone missing for origin /injury

Can the loophole be done on the app?

Just looked at my h2h opponent in L51 = Parraarescum

That's a great name haha & he's obviously not an Eels supporter. Anyway who on here has this team.

I will be letting Norman through to the keeper and go Munster I think

Taking a punt on brown to alvaro.
