Are people trading Smith??? He misses 3 of the next 4! With 10 trades left I'm not sure if I will be getting him back if I trade him, but my rank will suffer over the next month if I don't :/

Who is your other hooker?

CS9 to BS9, ride the profit on BS9 and trade CS9 after round 19? But then i got Brailey to worry about next week since Seggy is coming back. Not to mention i only have 9 trades left sigghhhhhhh

McInnes.

I wanted to finish the season with these two but now I'm unsure. I don't recall Smith resting so much during an Origin series.

Me on Tuesday: Yay, Curtis Scott playing!

nek minnit no JDB, no Teddy, no Smith. Fuck this game. haha.

I doubt Smith will miss another game from round 20 onwards. If I had him now I'd probably just hold him. Slater is a different story but Smith I'd probably just leave.

BS9 realistically only playing 3 more games.  How much money can he make in that time?

I have Brailey too and really worried about him, moreso with Mortimer.  He'll lose more cash this week too but with all the carnage, have to hold him.

2 games? This game and 18. Last 2 averaged 43 mins but try each game and decent amount of TBS. If he scores 30 next game will go up about 40k

Same here as he'll miss rounds 16/18/19 & play only round 17. Slater to Edwards done. Good news as a Brandon Smith owner though.

Brandon Smith makes for an interesting option as a dual Mac owner.

I was prepared to take an AE in Rd 18 and then treat this period as a trial for who stays and who eventually gets turned into CSmith.......but it may be worth making the call sooner rather than later now that BSmith has put himself forth as a viable option

Shit you're right, forgot about the bye. :/

If McCulloch averages 60 for the two games he plays and Smith misses then that's 120 points.
Can Cam make 120 points back over the seven games? That's 15 points a game higher average. No, I don't see it.

If McCulloch averages 50 for the two games he plays and Smith misses then that's 100 points.
That's 12.5 points a game higher average. Still a long shot. Are those extra points worth a trade?

Is Cam really going to average 10 points more than McCulloch for the rest of the season?

Trying to figure out if it's better to bring in Macca for Smith or Merrin for JDB. :-/

I guess they call them hookers because one way or another you end up getting fucked.

People. Just hold Smith and JDB!

I knew the carnage was coming. Yikes.
I've lost JDB and Teddy so far. Glad I swapped Smith for Friend a while back, as long as he doesn't get knocked out again. Who will drop next?

Sharks injury update from today says Segeyaro is aiming to be back next week, but it may be rnd 19 instead.
All 5 Origin Sharks should be backing up.

Fark what a shit week, players dropping like flies. I can only field 16 this week.
McInnes Smith Jr.
Vaughan Graham
Tolo gallen merrin
SJ cleary Munster
Turbo BJ Scott
RTS Edwards hayne

Boyd confirmed out. Surgery required. Will miss origin 3. Bronx season going up shits creek quickly.

Likely just means oates back in for qld. Wonder who plays fb for bronx.

most likely Kahu to FB, Mead to wing.

Hey fellas, is Smith worth selling? If so, to who? Is Mitch Rein worth bringing in until round 19 then switching back to cs9 in 20? Only 7 trades left and I have McInnes as my other hooker. Cheers.

16 for me this week.

Friend, Mcinnes
Graham, Vaughan
Gallen, Whitehead, Tolo, Marsters
SJ, Munster
Cotric, Croker
Mansour, Nofo, RTS,Edwards
