Indeed. Tremendous debut. To be honest I was worried about him personally, but the club spine made for a smooth transition. That is not to take away from his brilliance by the way, but would have helped to a degree.

Get rid of RJames or Wallace? I'm leaning towards trading out Wallace

I'm now worried about bringing in Pearce in a couple of rounds. How much do we think the origin loss and media attention impact on club performance?

Keep RJames easy. Both have similar base stats, RJames has the higher ceiling

Btw how f'n good was Munster last night? Hopefully he carry's the form over to club games

I was tossing up between Wallace and McGuire - but they have both earned starting positions for the run in after last nights effort.

I'd worry if the lack of Friend will hurt him too.

So out of that game last night, I can't see anyone not backing up this weekend.

Surely Fifi will want a quick redemption and Teddy looked fine on the ankle.

I am very worried about this also so I'm leaning towards bringing in DCE instead. RTS has been averaging 50 the last few weeks but DCE has a low b/e. Should I do it this week or next?

No charges from last nights game.

Low on trades(6) was thinking Tofu>Mannering or cashout to that Broncos winger

Tofu disappointed dropping 74 damn k in 3 rounds since I bought thinking I was so clever and probably large be next game but with news of Crichton carrying injury that could eventually get worse makes me think hold Tofu and hope he comes right

Good news.

Looked like Fifita was frustrated at the end there and was getting fairly grubby and I was almost sure he might have copped a charge for his blatant elbow to the back of Munster's head.

Wish I had more trades left

Think I'm going to hold my trades this week.

Bringing Munster back and adding Scott is just too tempting after watching last nights game. Melbourne are gonna finish this season pretty strong and with that spine there is plenty of points on offer.

Since I can afford the trades I'm looking at Scott also.  I think I'll hold Felise also and Smith definitely gets back in next week.  If I do get Scott, I'd be running Smith, Munster, Slater, Felise and Scott in my 17 haha.

Getting rid of Munster for Mansour will be a large part of my inevitable downfall this season.

Mansour will come right pal. I wasn't planning on getting Munster back this year but that has changed now. Mansour for 50+ against the Warriors.

Next weeks trades will be Hayne and SMat out for Scott and Munster.
Then Smith in for Friend the week after.

I thought the absence of Friend was a positive thing for Pearce.... didn't we have this discussion a couple months back? @SI ?

I told y'all Munster is a certified G and a bonafide stud and YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT!!!

Anyway on the Pearce thing, you might be able to find some data from early 2015 when Jake Friend sat out the first few games to see how he scored. Granted he had Maloney then and he wasn't at gun status then but might be worth looking into.

Not happy with Fifita's efforts lately but all FRF options suck right about now anyway except Tolman and Brown who are on byes.

I shed a tear when i dumped slater for Mansour last week. I wanted to break something when the move only gave me 22 points
