More carnage than last year mate, was a pretty smooth run in the last couple of months in 2016, so the whole trades management/depth/dollop of luck didn't really play a factor.

This year the run home is shaping up to be similar to the few years before that.  Opportunity to gain ground.

Or in your case continue the slide.

A. Elliot, Lane, Lamb or L. Mitchell

Elliot & Lane will probably play 60 mins but should be good for 30 to 40 points. Don't really think Lamb will score over 40 points. With Manly conceding a lot of points in their last 2 games Mitchell could do well but he's either boom or bust. Cheers.

Gordon shouldn't be back before finals hey?

A friend has Smith and Macca and she really doesn't like any other options for Macca.  I said McInnes is the safe bet, but she just doesn't really like him, and doesn't want to risk putting 'the glass man' in her team.

Watson I said could be a risky yet interseting second hooker option allowing a massive Teddy/Rapa like upgrade with the funds.  4 trades before the Macca trade.

Cheers, I guess it is safer to swap to McInnes.  Watson looks good and frees up cash but I guess then that extra 2nd gun hooker isn't locked in and who know what happens.  Gordon might come back a week or so early.

If only a couple of trades left then I would agree wholeheartedly with this.  But with 4 left, I reckon it could be wort the punt.  Watson looks capable of busting out a 60 plus.  If it means 2 trades left after also bringing in Ted, then I reckon it could be worth the risk.

How about Wallace for a risky Hooker option. Panthers have a cruisy schedule. Before his injury he went 52,52,25,49,56,42,39. Lots cheaper then McI.

I'd go McInnes, boring as hell but a reliable 50+ reserve almost every week.
I like Watson but his job security is a concern.

Wet conditions favours the Dogs - like when they beat the Broncos at the start of the year.

And they should have a good crowd in, considering the extra security at airports their supporters have had to put other plans on hold.

They are pretty great scores for his price.  Definitely another left field option.  Cheers.



Yeah, I know mate. Everyone in our league would have McInnes so it's either go for a POD or cancel that player out, but with the scores that McInnes can get, it's hard to find someone that would outscore him for the last five weeks.
