Yeah, hasn't been kicking lately. Really frustrating because I've had to keep him all season so far and he's got 1 good score lol

What's he been like watching mate, much coming the way in attacking play? just his KM down or general lack of fantasy worth now?

Cogger seems tempting? 22 points next to Pearce is understandable.

Who knows what will happen there

His overall game is down, not just fantasy. Not kicking, rarely putting players through holes, always first receiver and that's why Morgan always ends up kicking/putting players through a hole/getting try assists. His TA for Lolo was good on the weekend but apart from that his prospects have been pretty dire.

If you add in 10 points for kick metres from last weeks game he scores over 40 which looks much better than a 30 something score.

No idea if he's injured or this will continue for the rest of the season (my idea is they're getting Morgan ready to lead the team full time when JT retires this season).

Thoughts this week, keep lodge due to Donkeys team shack up
Would like to bring Fifta in but, last week it was a season ending knee injury only to see him play. Is he carrying an injury? will him knee go on him?

Holding Lodge a good idea?
If not Fifta, then who?

Grabbed him in FA in draft in L1 and debating whether I grab him for extra cash in fantasy or just go Dugan/Aitken

Also considering JT or Morgan because surely they get going soon enough, whats JT been like attacking?

BE 46 mate, watch and wait IMO.

Torn between not trading or the following.

Harris to aitken
Isaako to sorenson

I have the players to cover Harris for the week, but this is a good opportunity to upgrade isaako!

Can someone try convince me either way. I’ve banked three trades so far.

Hey all still fairly new to forum and dont wanna be one of those people who ask for help but dont give any ( ranked 1400 so would do the opposite anyway) if anyone has time to run over my team wouls be great. Struggling for what trades to do this week. Tia

Cook
Arrow afb
Rfm murray harris
Dce mbye
Aikten kenner
Ponga teddy thompson

Jfh kikau rein gos
Lodge issako jmk rochow.
375k in bank. Was thinking of moving on afb. Can do fifita but there goes all my moneys. Feel like i need another centre but scared to go dugan and mitchell might play origin this year possibly. Anyways any help would be appreciated

Do we think Morgan ma be worth a punt then?

Are those that skipped Rein considering picking him up this week, if he averages over 50 for the next two games he'll still make over 100k

When if ever does Mannering look like a good buy?

I tend to microscope team changes/shake ups as well; with Lodge though he looks like a 35-40 point player regardless to me.

With Fifita, I'm going to have a look at minutes with and without Gallen, but I figure even though they are backrowers that the early Lewis injury and Capewell HIA played a part? Can anyone who knows the Shark rotation save us the research? From memory Gallen and Fifita both scored a lot better with the other out, but that is going back to 2014/15 I think?

I have tentatively gone Lodge to Alvaro, but Fifita is value at the moment.

@Shumway @welshy @Claytron, stepped out for a client meeting, will be back later tonight and have a good look at each of these then.

Good lad, I'll take a gander at your original team help post in a bit fella

After Round 13? There's a dearth of second bye gun 2rfs and he still should knock out solid 50s on the edge, just not the regular 60+ scores we're used to at lock.

Welcome Claytron

I'll leave the advice on your team to the other lads, but don't worry about asking for advice early, go for it. Who do you support mate?

luckynumber8 wrote:When if ever does Mannering look like a good buy?

When he goes back to the middle, probably when Pulu returns.

Agree with rhino and weiland LN8, he's a wait and see with him not playing Lock and the other 16 blokes on the park actually contributing.

I like Rein, but the fact he isn't a keeper for mine and could be a trade in three weeks means I am not going to bring him in. Credit for those that did, I wish I grabbed him instead of Su'a but that's just how it all works out.
