I guess it's the same as not awarding TBs

It’ll get added. Just probably before lockout lifts

Great score Wolfy

Way too many low scores for me this week.

642 with DCE, JFH, Kikau & Maloney to come.

Thanks mate. First week I feel quite good about my round so things on the improve.  Even 100 from those 3 combined would make me happy, 120 would be lovely.  Although hoping for a big one from all 3.

458 with Fifita, JFH, J. Trbojevic, Cherry-Evans, Dugan, Kikau, Gosiewski and Leota to play..
Bit worried about J. Bird... should I be getting rid of him so soon?

Are people really going to panic trade Rochow out cause he missed some tackles? Still playing 80 minutes and still spending some time defending in the middle. Just as likely to punch out a 40+ next week as he is to miss a bunch of tackles again. With how tough the byes are this year I'll probably be holding unless I can flip him for a round 13 keeper

You think you would have to give him one more week to try and redeem himself.

He didn't just miss tackles. He is offering nothing and Im pretty sure he spent the whole game on the edge. Last 3 scores I think 37, 20 and 15.

At centre he is a low 30s/ high 20s scorer and probably not a keeper. In the halves he averages in keeper territory for a centre option. I would give it one more week and see what master coach does with his rotation but you may need to move him on shortly

At the very least you got Rochow out of your system.

Jury is till out on Rein. He needs to do this for 3 rounds to make it a worthwhile trade.

Yeah and the thing with Rein there are always gonna be other downgrade options pop up if you didnt end up getting him

Is everyone riding with Cogger or Lamb with Pearce out long term? Watson due back shortly so we probably won't know who is preferred until then

Agree with this. As a new Bird owner he'd have to stay in the halves. He looked promising vs the Warriors but was terrible vs the storm. In saying that though it looked like he was going to break the line early and then Sims cleaned him out.

Macca out might help him stay at 6

616/12 with Rochow really stinking up my team. He is gone as soon as lockout lifts,only question is to who? Really wanted Surgess but I'm guessing he'll be sitting for a few weeks. Koro is at the top of my list now if he plays 80 today. Anyone else I should be considering?

656/12 captain Cook played & Rochow stinking up my score. At least next week if Murray is fit I can put Rochow in my emergencies. I have Kikau, JFH, Jurbo, DCE & Maloney to play.

Not really a panic trade when I can get anyone for him. He looked rubbish yesterday. He makes small runs, makes a few tackles then misses one, so his score went no where. If this was the first time it's happened I wouldn't be concerned, but..

Currently priced at around his average (will bit below after lockout)
Unless he jags another try, won't make a tonne more cash.

Not scoring well enough to keep around just for R13 score.

He's high on the trade out list for me

Coach Brown said yesterday that Watson was close to playing this week and should be good to go next week. Might give some clarity but until they actually play it will be difficult to know who will be the dominant playmaker and take the majority of general kicking. I'll probably observe for a week first.

Rochow's potential to drop a load of money with a high BE next week is really scary, and I should be able to get anyone for him. I'm trading.

I don't understand this crap about Surgess missing a few weeks. It wasn't a swinging arm. It wasn't a shoulder charge. It wasn't late. It was a good tackle which unfortunately made contact with the head because Sezer ducked late. Penalty yes. Nothing else required. Because it's a Burgess though they'll throw the book at him.

700 with DCE, JFH, Kikau and Maloney.

Well done on the score Wolfie, could be close
