    Cheers mate. Can't understand how the Raiders have floundered so badly.. if anything their squad looks better than last year with Cotric instead of Lee.. Lost Vaughan though I suppose.

    Gotta say I'm jealous of your Crichton, Brown.. Sam if he's fit.. I recommended Lolohea to a few people and didn't get him myself.. bloke looked fitter yesterday too I thought.

    Thanks mate. Yeah, pretty happy where my team is at. Would love to get Mannering in there, but have to resist the urge to use two trades I think.

    Nope. Save that 1 trade for a potential HLF's injury because the depth there is shithouse. Don't be offended though, mine's worse. I've got no cover in the HLF's and I don't have any FRF depth either with just 1 trade left.
    Saving it for a rainy day I am.

    Hold fire and just hope somehow the Panthers outside backs can get involved more.

    I have Mansour, Edwards and Cleary. 

    I really need a late season kick.

    3 trades and 23K.  Ranked 717.

    Unfortunately, I can't see any luxury trades without using having to use two, which is not needed.  Was looking for a POD and was hoping to see more from Nofo yesterday, but Surgess to Papa is tempting.

    If i'm honest i hadn't given Papa any thought until you mentioned him this morning. He's in reach of McGuire + my bank. Very tempted.

    Worth the punt I reckon pal. Save the last two trades for injuries. McGuire has to go now.

    My team is messed up. I need a solid 17th. I have Wallace and eisenhouth to choose from ATM.

    Can bring in anyone up to 150k different in price. I've got marsters I can upgrade too.

    Thinking the likes of Frizell or papa as a pod.

    Other option is to keep mcguire as 18/19th man hope he bounces back to fringe 50's again and instead i can go Jbrom > Jturbo via mcguire.

    Team would look like this:
    Smith, McInnes
    Nbrown, Vaughan, (Mcguire, Fai)
    Lolo, Crichton, Gallen, JDB, Surgess, Jturbo
    Munster, Cleary, (Lolohea, Laybutt)
    Scott, Croker (Fuiamono, Isaako)
    Dedwards, RTS, Slater (Hayne, Fogarty)


    Actually, Ah Mau could be another cheaper type option

    I have C.McInness and J.Friend as my 2 hookers and I have injury cover for each and every position with 2 trades left.
    Should I use the 2 trades to get C.Smith in or settle for a run home without Smith.

    WWYD (what would you do )?

    Settle for life without Smith. Maybe get hunt in if he's an 80min hooker

    I doubt Hunt will be an 80min HKR, especially after he gets exposed this week and we get touched up by the Titans

    The way Ben Hunt can miss a tackle, how will he go defending in the middle. Can he handle it ???

    His average is good, very solid. Luxury trade if Burgess plays but i think worth a shout.

    Au Mau definitely another one but I already have MC9, JDB and Vaughn so dunno if its worth adding another. His stats and scores though are amazing.

    This is what I don't get, KNiko is by far the better tackler, why expose hunt to the props? He can't handle backrowers

    Hunt won't be there next year so this is the ideal opportunity for Milf and Niko to start forming a combination for next year.

    Understand that mate, but that is what the offseason is for? They still want a chance at the 8 this year surely

    Broncos should still make the 8 surely? I think playing Hunt at hooker is just better for the team. I think Hunt has better vision from dummy half also. 

    Then again I'm not an NRL coach so what do I know  flower
