He is Paul Gallen's cousin.

There isn't anyone injured/suspended that is likely to kick him out of first grade any time soon. So I'd say its entirely possible he can maintain his 40 point average for the rest of the year

Sounds like the perfect Merrin replacement.

Merrin to gal jr
Guth to Vaughan

2 trades left. Team this week

McInnes
Vaughan Brown gal jr
Mannering JDB Crichton Wallace Gallen taupau
Cleary dce
Scott turbo
Walker Munster Edwards

Is Aubusson going to be playing in the forward pack for awhile this round onwards?

Which 2 of these scrubs do I play in my centres?

Scott, Sione, Fui, BJ

Since when is BJ a scrub? Marked up on Hymel Hunt, he's a good option this week. Rabbitohs backline is a shambles.

Probably Sione for the 2nd, just based on a higher floor from assumed work rate (albeit a lower ceiling).

Im considering cashing out Fui to bring in Dufty. That will cover me for Rapana this round, and allow me to bring in another gun in the forwards.

BUT, whats the deal with Dufty? Is it likely he plays FB from now on?

I'm thinking Fui should be good for a 35-40 playing 80 in the centres, or am i dreaming?

Scott.. could be a tough game for storm if Smith doesn't play, I expect Manly to turn up after last week.

Sione.. well I just binned the gronk, finally.

BJ.. I'm sorry.

Honestly I dunno, haha.

Haha me too finally. Got JTurbo in.

Have Turbo and Croker in centres

Next 3 games are NEW/SOU/GC. Has every opportunity to turn in a good month of performances.

Depends how long Aitken is out and how well the Dragons go. If they go on a run and look like a good team again then it'd be silly to change up something that's obviously put the spark back in their season.

Cheers guys, worth a shot then I reckon!

ok - team for the week:

McCullough, McInnes
Fifita, Taupau, Graham (Gurgess)
Mannering(C), Crichton, Lolo, Gallen, McGuire, (LeBrown)
Cleary, DCE, (Moses, Brown)
BJ, SMat, (Scott, Fui)
Munster, Edwards, Walker (Semi, Abbey)

Any of those outside the 17 that should be in?

Fuck Dufty. Giving shit players a chance to compete.

Not aimed at anyone here of course 

I'm taking a punt on Dufty, but I would like to know more on Aitken's shoulder injury. I'm thinking of a couple of sideways trades. I have 5 trades so will be left with 3 from next week on. Thinking of;

Kelly - Dufty
Kaufusi - Vaughn

Really want to piss Kaufusi off. These trades would give me crazy stupid squad depth leaving a few players on the pine each week;

Smith McInnes
Fifita Vaughn Taupau Yates
Crichton JDB Tolo Surgess Brown Fui
Cleary Munster Lolohea Laybutt
Turbo Cotric Croker Isaako
Walker Semi Edwards Slater Dufty

Dunno if I trade someone more expensive instead and just get Gal or Mannering, but I'm loving Vaughn for his price.

Apparently Josh Reynolds is in a bit of strife. Police allege he mouthed off at Northies nightclub security when asked to leave due to his level of intoxication on Friday night.

BJ is half the player he was last season.

I'd go as low as a third even quarter of the player. He's as bad as his Newcastle days at the moment.
