Griffin & Lodge out - Matterson & Rein in

Nice trades

How long is Peats out?

4-6 weeks

Trades- Griffin and Lodge > Sua and Surgess or Tolo, can't decide

couldn't pay me to trade in Cogger, that jersey is a carousel even though the Knights are playing pretty well, don't trust him to be named next week, let alone long enough to make the money to be worth it.

A link for you to get in contact with them .... http://fanhubmedia.com/contact-us/
They run many things so explain your playing NRL FF and your user name and problem.
Let things reset over night though. They actually replied to me before the season started with a problem I had and it just needed time for things to reset. Of cause that's just a fault but at least they got back to me fairly promptly.

Whats with all this Failhub defending?!?! Thats shit's not allowed on this forum!

Keeping the 4 hookers in the team:

Griffin > Rein
Knik > Api

leaves $134K ITB and will likely just milk a cow like Croker next week.

Manly had better shape up this week cause it pains me to have four of the fuckers in my team...

The app is shitloads better now. Can actually see price changes and player history.

Did anyone see the story on 7 news (I think) last night where they spoke about the nsw origin team? Does it have much credibility? It spoke of cordner, maloney and both turbos being certainties, korosau and cook in. Dugan out. Klemmer out. And all sorts of interesting choices.....

I didn't see the Cowboys v Bulldogs game on the weekend but did Ethan Lowe go off injured? Did this possibly inflate Taumalolo's minutes?

Taumalolo averaged 62 mins @ 1PPM last season. This season it's been 58 mins @ 0.8 PPM.

Is Coen Hess who is playing big minutes stealing some of Lolo's time on the field?

What's the go with fifita, I thought he had a 2-4 week injury? Of course he plays in the last game of the round

Morning guys.

What do you think of these trades?

Kennar > Rein
Griffin > Surgess/Matterson

If I go Matterson, he partners DCE and Walker drops down to WFB with Teddy and Ponga.

Means I'm keeping Rochow, Murray.

Think I'm going double cash grab. Now to decide who joins Doueihi as the trade out. Leaning towards TPJ as the bald man Rochow plays 13 and I think kennar can jag a try vs the raiders. Can't afford a gun unless I dump Murray..
TPJ
Rochow
Kennar

Why is everyone rushing to get Taumalolo in?

Priced at 51, averaging 51. Last year was the first year he's averaged over 50.
Half his scores this year are in the 30s.
Is one good score enough for everyone to be convinced he is back to his best

I'm in no hurry to trade him in. Think there is a bit of chasing last week's score. Would prefer Surgess in that price range if going for a gun

yeah I agree. I've watched their games and I haven't been that impressed with him. Cowboys defence is always so tried from getting smooshed.

Other than last week, his scores have been very average. I like the look o Tohu and even matterson better at this Point.
I know everyone keeps saying that Matterson has been lucky with tries, but if you watch the Roosters games, he puts himself in that position constantly.

It's like saying last year that Cohen Hess would have crap scores if he didn't get "lucky" with tries. Base stats are a more reliable measure of performance, however some players are more likely to have big scoring plays more regularly. Hess was one of them, Gurgess was one of them and Matterson could be.

Matterson's Base stats are also very solid

My problem is I want to ditch Doueihi. Bankroll can't afford DCE/SJ who would be my preferred target. 

Other than maybe Arrow (possibly Murray and JFH) , don't have any keepers in 2rf/FRF yet, so Lolo/Surgess make sense. 

I think Thurston in a couple of weeks will be very tempting as a temporary measure whilst I wait to get a true gun half in

Any thoughts on which direction to go with the trades guys?

Looks good to me...

If I HAD to pick, Surgess over Matterson, I already have surgess so makes it a bit easier i guess.

He hasn't had a big game yet, and the bunnies have found form again, should be back to posting regular 60 scores very shortly.
