Not a lot that can be done here

Hayne>Mansour via Isaako. Gives an extra player this week and next+the switcheroo to get Tturbo into the centres giving a back 5 of Tedesco RTS Mansour Tturbo Sione with Fui as depth for both positions(via tturbo switch)

Lolohea has served his purpose. Out for Chanel Mata'utia leaving some cash to upgrade JBrom to Fifita

Dragons don't need to win for McInnes to score well. If you take out the 39 against Knights where the game was played on the wings he averages 56.3 this season. McInnes over Friend for me

Merrin and JBrom get a lot of air time in fantasy including around here which is full of good judges.

They are going awful guys.

Injuries aside. Their minutes are what they are and their points are trash.

Now Peachey is coming in for Whare to hopefully help Merrin get this big boost but if we just go on what we've seen and know from THiS year, you shouldn't be going anywhere near him

I said the same about Merrin this time last year and regretted it later.

gut feel on Merrin is that he returns to scoring like a beast in the run home.

They're both good options, but Friend doesn't have any more byes and will get 60+ this week with the players they have out. So he will score more from here on in. Anyway, good luck.

ARey,Cleary or DCE? If you had to pick just one

What about Graham to Brown, is he worth keeping for the run home?

His DPP would come in handy too so I can switch with Taupau. I've had Brown before but I'm willing to bring him back in.

With this trade I'm 6k short of RTS to Pearce but with a BE of 69 he might drop that in rd 19 and if RTS gets his BE of 33 I may be able to do RTS to Pearce in rd 20, a lot of ifs and buts to be relying on I know.

Or, just bite the bullet and get Mannering and use a trade for another cashout to raise cash?

So the consensus is don't bother wasting a trade to bring one in for the other? Got it.

Definitely.

I went with Cleary.
ARey is too much of an unknown in terms of injury and what Madge will do with the side (how they attack, obvs ARey will always be there if fit).
DCE might be worth steering clear of with Manlys current troubles?

Certainly none of them are bad options.

Since he picked up his form Rd 9 onwards Merrin has scored

77 54 75 67 25 45 55

How is that awful. Again I see people looking at a recent bad score and throwing the baby out with the bath water

danseels1985 wrote:ARey,Cleary or DCE? If you had to pick just one

I've gone Cleary as well but if I cant raise the funds for Pearce, I'll be looking at DCE to provide some cover in the halves. I think he'll finish the year strongly.

Friend has a bye rd 19. But I might bring him in - I like that he has added kick meters to his game, and will be likely kicking a bit more this week with Pearce out

Shit I completely forgot about the Roosters bye in rd 19, I was hoping Pearce would drop in price that round so I could bring him in for rd 20. That changes things now.

trading out munster is interesting. and tempting

Is segeyaro worth bringing in for round19? Will he get minutes?

Having a back three of all the same team a bad move?

I'm wondering if its crazy holding Munster for two weeks.

I'm holding Slater and Munster for two weeks.

This is my team only have 9 players

They are down on hookers, just him and now Clydsdale who might get a good run. Interesting option if he performs the way he did in his Dally M year.
