Running only 1 hooker will give me a heart attack. I guess CKing isn't a bad fallback option to have if your gun hooker is a late scratching. He looks like a pretty solid player last week
Yep, couldn't do it.
If your hooker is out for a week in the last 3 weeks you are forced into a trade or you get an AE.
If you have an 18th man you can just switch your hookers and change reserves and save a trade for when you really need it.
Too much uncertainty for me.
I would only run this if I had 18 starters and would be assured my AE was a gun score but that strategy in itself is risky.

I'll be running CS9 & King (current hookers McInnes & B. Smith). I did contemplate B. Smith to CS9 but with the two prime downgrade options being L. Brown & Whare now injured it has ended that option. Also I only have 5 trades left & going B. Smith to CS9 would require 3 trades.

My apprehension over mansour is that this Edwards character seems to like running the ball where as moylan didn't in the past. That's a lot of Mansour's base stats potentially lost. Not that i've ever watched a game with the two of them playing

So... Crichton was seen in a moonboot today because of an ankle injury he sustained in the game on the weekend. Says he will be fine for this weekend...

To even consider CS9 not playing every singly round from round 20 onwards is unheard of!!!
We're talking about THE Cam Smith

Has the NSW squad been named yet? If neither has been named in NSW 17 then I would look at the position you are looking to fill. Does your center position need bolstering or is your WFB mediocre?

Anyone else thinking "fk this round", use zero transfers and take however big points and rating hit and focus on dominating rest of season?
Sucks to be in this position tbh, byes are like double gameweeks in FPL and should be where the cream rises!

Yeah just read that. No wonder he got subbed towards the end. Looks like it's Surgess for the VC. Crichton probably won't play 80. Fui for 80 perhaps?

Peachy at centre at his price is mighty tempting.
I feel for people that got Whare and LBrown.

I might still risk the VC on him if he's good to go. If worst comes to worst I can still captain someone like Friend/Taupau

Has anyone ever actually watched the "Team Lists Live" video at the top of the team list page? I never have, seems pointless.
It probably seems to them like they get a lot of views, simply because us lot are sitting on the page waiting for lists/reading team lists and the video auto plays on mute in the background.

Tualau should hopefully get some minutes looking at the bulldogs pack. It would appear as though he would be first interchange.
Doesn't look like any cash out forwards have presented themselves (who may score more than 9 pts).
Might just hold the trade.

No cashouts at all from a quick glance worth while.

Right there with you mate, I'm in two minds still about replacing Graham with someone that plays this week but I really wanted to turn him into Mannering so I might wait and take the hit this week.
Even with the week off I think Manners will still outscore whoever I brought in for Graham this week by rd 26.
