Looking at ditching Merrin this week and promoting Kikau into the starting line up

That is what I will be doing. Glad I'm not the only one

Lussick may be up for a mid season departure to super league. To many rotators at the Eagles as it was.

X3, Murray in for Merrin. Might upgrade AFB to Fifita in a week or so.

Any words on TPJ?

Great week for me thanks to Dufty.

878 total points, finished 105th for the round and moved up from 6800ish to 660 overall.

Mitch Moses is getting the boot this week, should of played Croker over him
and had Kikau in my emergencies so missed out on his good points.

Everyone in my team hit their BE's except Smith (my captain), Moses and Leilua.

Leilua and moses out this week, Isaako and Mbye in if I have the cash, depends on the raises the get this week.

Can see him going to Eels, they need props.

That would be back to Eels.. dont think so. He has been a disappointing player imo. Needs super league to flex his stuff.

You guys that have started extra well, try not to panic and be disappointed. Your next moves or non moves could push you the right way. Maintain the passion and focus as you were, it got you here.

I'm 1771, so grain of salt n' all.

For my team Matterson will be a big help in the halves. Merrin and SST out is the easiest way to make that happen. Rochow into the starting team

A lot of people look to be chasing last weeks points bringing in Mbye and Widdop. Mbye I see averaging around 45 and now priced at 43. Widdop splitting points with Hunt and never been a geuine keeper. Both a pass for me.

Mbye has a fair bit of potential having switched positions, scoring 40s first 2 games not doing much is a decent sign so he is on my list, Widdop a definite pass for me, has always had the ability to go huge and always averages around the same so agree on that point

My James Gavet passion pick doesn't seem to be working out (34,36,27) so he looks to be a sell.
Cameron Murray is an obviously trade in target. Pending price changes it's looking like I'll need at least $50K to do so but I only have $1k ITB.

To raise this cash I'm thinking L.Mitchell > C.Thompson? Anyone see any other options?

Smith,
Gavet, Alvaro,
Whitehead, RFM, NBrown
Cartwright, Doueihi,
Kennar, Mitchell
Hiku, Tedesco, Ponga

TPJ, Cook, Lodge, Griffin
Kikau, Havilli, Isaako, Croker


My other issue is a lack of depth in the halves..

I would much prefer finding the next 100 point scorer. Is he in my team? Probably not.

May be looking for a 2RF/FRF around the 500k mark, any standout candidates?

Could take a look at Havili>JMK to solve both problems

Whitehead going well considering he has ben moved around if he gets the lock spot back when the Raiders are full strength he should go around 50 odd and is a POD, might best jumping on a fallen gun Gallen is dropping quick

I may end up grabbing Matterson and JMK this week just to bank some cash. Means I may keep Merrin, doesn't fill me with confidence though

I wouldn’t be so quick to dump Merrin, Griffin will mix his forward rotation up to try and get them to start games better I reckon, they need Merrin plugging the middle he has to realise this soon

4 tries in 3 games

Tapine should be back this week, so hopefully he'll get the lock position back.

He's been the best POD pick in my team these early rounds

Not to be greedy but I’m gutted his tries have been mostly fall over the lines without a load of TBs haha!

Does show he is still racking up base stats though and scoring week despite being in the edge or CTR

Yeah I guess you're right there.

Don't know what's gone wrong with my team. Baffling!
