How the mighty have fallen re: Mr Rapana huh

If there is 1 outside back who I would back to go over a BE of 85+ it would be Rapa

At the moment I've got Hayne starting and Peachey as a reserve. If I put Peachey into starting and then Hayne on the bench I can reserve Smith if he's named to play. If not I'll put the R on Hayne which would have been the case in the original team, but it gives me the option for Smith later. Makes sense right?

Yes that makes sense

Context?  
Did he talk to him over the phone or send him a text? Otherwise it's just an opinion. I mean he's probably right but still.

Probably just his opinion, based on where the Storm are situated and you wouldn't risk him etc. He was also commentating at that game, so he probably would have seen him after the game I'd say.

Yes. Peachey is going to lock out 6pm Thursday, so if you think you might want him in your team, get him in as a starter.

What to do when I've backed him for the last 3 weeks for a 20, 39, 20, suspension. thinking of trading him to Dufty, then I can bring in Mannering.................

Yeah mate spot on. You think the sweet Peach can finally get some ball and get some of that old magic happening again? He's been starved and needs to get much more involved.

Apparently Bernard Sutton and the assistant ref Chris Butler have been demoted for not sending him off.

Seems legit if you have the trades.

I want opinions, is Mannering really worth that price tag for purchasing?

I do, I trust in the Sweet Peach. Against the Dogs he's likely to get a few chances.

Do I go for it or not?

Its a bit of a risk. If anyone else goes down you'll be playing Eisenhuth or Hayne. Maybe Nu Brown might be Ok with Maloney out.

Depends how much you want to risk the rest of your squad staying fit.

Standard WFB scoring mate especially wing like Rapa, Way I would look at it is, he is due a big one!

Don't do it mate.

You're probably right about Rapana but the problem is that I'm sitting at an overall spot of 125th and I've been playing A.Tolman and now with J.Graham back, I can't see Tolman any more than a 35-45 average player. So if I keep Rapana and Tolman, I'm sure to drop in rankings, but I'll have cover at fullback with Tedesco, Edwards, Dufty and Radradra and bringing in Mannering would be much better...........................

Ah that time of the season where you're low on trades but you don't want to drop rankings.

I'm only 36 points ahead of 2nd place in the league. If I don't trade I lose first place anyway. I wish there was someway to find out how many trades they have left to know what I'm up against.

if youre desperate can you go through your leagues histroy or match-ups and count the changes each week? might take a while but if it means the difference between bragging rights or a year of regret it might be worth the effort

In that scenario mate you will be better suited getting Mannering you probably have enough in the WFB to cover losing Rapa and Tolman as you say probably isn't much more than 45 with Graham

Thanks Welshy, it looks like now that Mannering is a must.

Really want to fuck Leilua off to bring in Roberts who I reckon will be a solid POD for the last few rounds but think with the injury and potential injury carnage of the last few weeks it would be smarter to save what little trades I have left.

Y'know I did actually consider doing that. I just thought to myself how long will it take of me doing that before I say to myself WTF am I doing with myself? Nah for the sake of winning this thing I'll do it. Just go through it tomorrow evening on a non-busy night and calculate it all up.
If they've got even 4 trades left I think it'll give me licence to pack it all in and concede defeat anyway so guess it's good to find out soon.
