Misses this game. Huge BE and 8 stays in average next 5. Can get cut price gun for him that plays 13 and get him back later. It's things like this I've the 3 trades saved so far for

Wacko has tweet saying McGuire is going to hooker.. TPJ probably a hold for a week if so? Could get that lock spot and the mins?

hi any ideas on where to go from here? 132K in the bank. 22 trades left

smith
arrow, kikau
matterson, trbovic, JFM
jacks, johnson
aitken, hiku
tedesco, trbovic, isaako
cook
havili
rein
murray
gosiewksi
JMK
l leilua
milne

any help/ideas much appreciated

@mulvy you wouldn't be worried about playing Isaako every week? If I go Rochow to Tolo I have chump change left over

My regret at trading out TPJ stings so much. Hearing he should be playing lock, can't see him without big minutes if so. If I had kept him instead of Rochow, I would not be chasing a a pipedream in Rein this week and have instead brought in a gun CTR to have 17 solid scorers. The worst part is that I didn't even have him before his 60. Traded him in for scores of 25, 39, and 19 over 4 weeks and then traded out again.

Ah she burns, alright. The butthurt burns so bad.

If playing at lock would TPJ be a good swap for Rochow?

Mcguire to 9 should be good for TPJ but he'll only spend 25 mins or so there and shift back to lock when Niko comes on at 9. I'd expect Niko to play out the game then.

Its a bit of a weird one as when Niko came on against the Storm he went into the halves, and had immediate impact.

He probably still gets subbed at 25 mins when Niko comes on and Mcguire stays on as a lock.

Its a hard one to work out actually.

If Sua doesn't start this week in second row i'll be cranky. Sims on the edge is ridiculous, but he may start at prop this week with the shuffle in the middle.

This is what I'd do:

8 Lodge
9 Mcguire
10 Sims
11 Sua
12 Glenn
13 TPJ

14 Niko
15 Ofa
16 Thaiday
17 Taga/Haas

Sims and Thaiday may swap around.

Seems so wrong.

Yeah, I've jumped aboard with Captain Cook this week, but every time I see my team, it feels second-rate without Cam in that top spot.

Yeah it's a concern but centre will be the last position I upgrade, I'm currently doing the Isaako/Kennar roulette.

Yeah, I did the same thing, but I'm not too worried. I don't think it will increase his fantasy prospects all that much. Definitely would have been easier as he's hold over Rochow but this game bites you sometimes.

Warriors team won't be far away. Stayed tuned...

I wouldn't sweat TPJ. I'm predicting McGuire at hooker to weather the storm before Niko comes on to inject some energy with McGuire moving to Lock and TPJ off.

If Sua starts you'd think he could be playing 80. If he does I might trade Rochow out for him.

Was thinking about holding Rochow but knowing with another 15 he will lose 40K is scary.

Totally agree.

Basically all of Maccas 80 minutes will be eaten up by Nikorima (55 ish). An extra 25 that will likely be split fairly equally amongst everyone (2-3 mins extra each) isn't something to be overly concerned with.

Think I'm leaning more towards Matterson over Tolo so I strengthen my HLFs as well as my 2RF. I finally get to bank a trade this week lol. Hopefully TPJ can get more minutes otherwise he and Thompson are on the chopping block in the next couple of weeks,one for a cashout and another for Surgess,Cleary,Aitken etc that's the plan anyway haha
