    His minutes where way down over the weekend is that the norm or a once off? i have the money to up grade to a Jurbo or friend or should i sit tight and hope griffin gets a clue? thoughts

    If Merrin gets the minutes he is a keeper if not, not so much

    I'm thinking the same. Was cursing him previous week before he scored try. Kind of want him to be out a few weeks to make my decision easy

    Thursday night - Cowboys v Panthers - Hess v Kikau

    What a great sight it's going to be watch these 2 beasts running at each other.

    NRL physio had something saying Merrin "could miss 1-3 weeks" but its was as non committal as you'll find. Saying, if it was the injury it looked like, it could be....

    I was hoping to just hold Merrin but will go to Murray, easy choice really. Will make more points.

    Cant decide if it trade Carty/lCroker to RFM/NAS as well.

    I think I would do JFH to someone like Dugan. Don’t really get owning both him and Kikau or Panther double up. Not even one of the teams playing first bye and not a glaringly lucrative cash cow

    [edit] just noticed he has a BE of 10 so no rush on that move. I would save but he or Cartwright would be my next out

    Did anyone end up rage trading Merrin?

    Feels very sideways to bump him but 40 minutes is a worry. Maybe it was just a one off. So hard to tell with him. He did play 56 mins in round two, but that score was saved by a try.

    Trading Merrin leaves me with plenty of options but all may just end up scoring the same as Merrin anyway. I can't afford to move him to a real gun without downgrading elsewhere. ARGH

    Also, absolute massive thank you to those who have tipped a few bucks my way. Bloody legends.

    Cheers mate. I was going to mention JFH made 31k price rise & b/e 10 but I see you edited your post. Plus he's currently 2fr but if he continues to start at prop he'll probably get dpp frf/2fr at round 6 when they do their next review. Also he seems to be a Griffin favourite & plays around 50 mins.
    Yeah I keep coming back to Carty & how he is playing in a poor team. The strong part of his game is attack but he's not really going to have much of a chance to show his attacking prowess in a poor Titans side. I only have 574k to spend if I sell Carty so I could take a punt on K-Nik & play him over L. Croker.

    Ive gone Merrin to Murray. Seems a bit safer, plus pays rd 13 and makes me some coin to upgrade Lcroker or Cartwright to RFM or NAS.

    Have pulled tigger on first trade, yet to do second trade.

    Im waiting on an injury update/ TLT.

    Is there any chance his low minutes last week were due to their rotations getting mucked about with the Cleary injury? Otherwise I have no idea why he didn't come on sooner... It is a concern.

    You would think his minutes would have increased with the injury. Having one of your better players on the field while your chief play maker is off

    My thoughts are that the WFB spot can be a bit like Russian Roulette. Therefore my preference (and what I told myself this season) is to deal with all other issues first before mucking round with who I have at the back. You'd think Teddy will come right, and this week he has the Warriors so I would definitely hold him for at one more week, but to be honest, I think he'll be a keeper still.

    That being said, Rhino (I think) has stated he/she believes RTS is the gun WFB this year, and he/she may well be right. But, again, most teams will have a number of other, more measured and predictable moves to make at this point of the season.

    The main justification I think for a move from Teddy to RTS would be the risky one of deliberately separating yourself form the pack and doubling up on a POD play (i.e. no Teddy 38% owned and having RTS instead 10%). That would certainly give you an advantage if it worked out !!

    Yeah I would think this. He went off after 20 mins, which was unusually early.

    Yeah for sure, that's what I was expecting during the game, that he would come on earlier than usual to spark something... but the only alternative that I wondered about is that they were trying to conserve trades just in case they had another pressing issue to deal with?? I don't know mate, I think I might be clutching at straws...But it did seem very odd his minutes were so low. Perhaps the stern injury happened in the first half and was aggravated in the second so they reduced his minutes?

    I've got Teddy and will be keeping him this week vs the Warriors, but im not against trading him out.

    The concerning thing about Teddy is he is struggling to get his hands on the ball compared to some one like RTS.

    Anyone interested in Keary. With Cronk steering the ship Keary is their main man in initiating attacks. In the game on Sunday he was attacking both edges & was very dangerous. He looked really good.
