This is my team after trades. Is it possible to loop in any meaningful way?

17 kennar
18 kikau
19 hiku/ sst swap in either 1 of these of kikau fails?

14.
15.
16.
17. JMK/Havili
18. Kikau
19. Kennar
20.
21.

If Kikau scores well on Thursday night, switch Kennar & JMK/Havili so I get Kikau's score as AE for Kennar?

If this new format becomes mostly about good loop and rolling lockout play, I’m completely fkd and might as well bin the season now. Find it impossible from the Uk to compete on that side of the game (late mail)

Haha, yeah, procrastinating at work

You should totally do the trade still. Brilliant trade. Was never a bad idea.

Channel 7 saying that Croker is set to be dropped with Koroisau moving to the halves.
Hastings to hooker...

Hastings has a 0 BE and priced at 260k

You are so lucky I'm not a mod.

That would be horrible decision before this match! Kid won’t be able to get to sleep at the moment playing against the raiders finally. I actually put him in my starting line up because of that reason!

Looks like I'll need to bring in a half this week..

Might bring in Hastings for Nicholls instead of Isaako if this is true.

Hastings may be a better buy than JMK... HMMMMM

Related to Jarrod?

I guess there is little risk of him ending up the utility so think I will still start Croker then just change my hayne to a Isaako move to Hayne to this Marshall kid, for more protection than just carty on the bench!

Then again, haven't both Api and Hastings torn us to shreds historically, maybe they are aiming for a record score

Nah no relation. he’s Jason Crokers nephew and was star NYC player for raiders who didn’t breakthrough at first grade so point to prove

Why drop Croker I thought he had a good game.

Ahh nice one. Yeah there is that worry it's for one game, mighty tempting though. 260k hooker, surely doesn't play 80 though?
