For me, it's down to Murray, Arrow or Ponga.

Don't think I would captain Arrow on the back of one big score. Ponga and Murray have both repeated big scores showing its not a fluke

The positional change is why I think he'll maintain a 50+ score regularly.

I cant bring myself to sell Smith just yet, has at least 2 weeks left for mine.
Brown>DCE locked in, considering Doughey>JFH but probably wont pull that trigger. Wish I didn't have to sell Brown, but with JMK, Doughey and Croker as my halves I have to do something. There are enough decent second rowers to cover.

Going to play JMK with DCE this week, watch him outscore Maloney

Sounds like where the titans are playing on sunday its been really wet so will be a heavy track but really humid so draining conditions for the middle men.
So yeah id go murray or ponga over arrow 4 captain

Gonna be tough for a lot of people to see his score in the EME, while awaiting whatever drivel Maloney dishes up on Sunday arvo.

Jokes on you, I have to play them both!

hey, I agree with you, haha.


What is everyone planning to do with Douehi? Just sit on him? If, and a big if, Reynolds strings some games together, Douehi's price is probably going to dive back to basement if he's getting 10 to 15 minutes off the bench. He will be just as urgent trade as Carty in a week or so unless you plan to just hold him and hope for another injury to Reynolds (likely).

My plan is to see how Seibold uses him off the bench. Whether it be for injury cover, another hooker even, 25-30 minute roving back rower. I think the suspension to burgess is good for him, mean the not so good forwards might need some more rest so more minutes for dough man

I am putting it between, DCE, Jurbo, Cook (lots of metres to be made around the big forwards through the ruck)

I think your Smith team looks better to be honest. Although, I'm in the keep Smith camp

Looking for a min priced cash out to fund Cartwright to dCE and noticed Asipeli Fine looks like coming into the bench with Tualau and FaBrown omitted.

Any dogs fans with any opinion of him? He is CTR in the game too and with kennar out I have zero backup there. My other option which I can just scrape The money for is PHaas. Like the look of the big lad but can always grab him as a later cash out when he’s actually named

papa giuseppe fine ain't worth it, good for 10 pts and that's about it.

Both versions of your team are better than mine

Haha fuck. Gonna be painful when Croker outscores them both put together then

I honestly don't know what to do with my team. I can Reverse the Smith to Macca trade if I have to but can anyone give me a hand? (Referring mostly to Turbo)

While I have holes at half and WFB, I have plentiful forwards. Another week of deciding who to leave out of the 17 from Lodge, Rochow, Kikau, RFM, Griffin and now JFH. Midrange city up here.

Are we allowed to use the loophole word in here?

Procrastinating at work so I thought I'd throw my team up (again)

Smith
Arrow Kikau
Jurbo Murray RFM
DCE (c) SJ
Mitchell Isaaaaaako!
Tedesco Ponga Thompson

Cook Lodge Griffin Nicholls

Doueihi JMK Godinet Croker

Thinking:
- Keeping Smith
- Avoiding Maloney
- Nicholls in the 17 as he'll pick up some mins over the next couple of games (junk options left anyway)
- Doueihi gets one more week to see how he goes from the bench
- No centre cover is a worry. Will look at that next week

@megaturtle Trade Bromwich to a WFB via Arrow maybe?

Thoughts on Gosiewski getting an edge spot? either this week or sometime this season?

@Verbal Kint that's a solid team. I wouldn't touch it and just work out how to get Macca down the track
