JDB doesnt play R13

I have Matterson & great half option

Hess is cheaper than Lolo for similar points.

Taumalolo has the potential to be well above the other guys. So he would be my pick. Though Matterson is a decent choice. He is one guy I really want in my squad.

JDB is a no go, he had a big score this week. But probably sits in that 40-50 range with the occasional big score. Considering how stacked the Dragons pack is.

Hess is comparable to JDB with his scoring. 40-50 range with the occasional massive score. More of a tendency to rely on attacking stats.

Might have to get Lolo then as Hess will also play origin, and other trade to bring Sorenson who hopefully will be starting this week

Or might get both Lolo and Matterson this week

I don't see how Sorenson starts when Graham is probably fit. Personally I think Gos is a better pick even though he won't make as much cash in the next couple of weeks but he will at least stick around.

So hope that Leleisiauo gets the wing gig at Parra. Perfect first bye cashout for wing/centre cover for Isaako.

Meanwhile... who is the best value forward or half in the 700k+ range (exclude Arrow and Fifita). Veering towards Nathan Brown if fit.

If you can get Matterson and Lolo it is worth doing.

Lolo, Brown, Trbojevic, Matterson all fit the bill.

Would you cash out for him if he only plays a couple weeks and is then a long term NPR.

Think the moon boot for Rochow is the reason for low scores the last couple of weeks, just playing while injured, so not as involved?

Marginal. Hayne's supposed to be 4 weeks so gives him chance to secure spot if he's any good. My centres would be Mitchell, Kennar, Lele (or whoever) with at least one of the latter two getting ditched after Rnd 13 anyway.

Who knows really. He was about ten tackles down what he was averaging in the previous games. Whether that changes, again who knows. But the fact he is getting 80 minutes means he has all the chances in the world to change it.

A winger who may only play 4 weeks is a big risk.

I have 2.3 Million sitting out this week injured/suspended

Almost 3 Mill if Murray isn't back... Probably going Croker to Cogger. Especially if he is named at 7. But if not, might wait a week and see how him and Watson go and make a call. Means I'd have to play Croker though, which is crap. I already will be playing Nicholls, so not great. I think he'll get 40 minutes again with Burgess out, so should get 25-40 hopefully.

Who the hell do you have out?

Ive got a feeling Gelling will nab a gig going forward. Havent punted incorrectly at all this season, but can see all the toys leaving the cot if he goes back to benchy '7' points.

Lolohea and Cartwright out. Cogger and Matterson in. I think Cogger will get his chance for an extended run...depends on TLT of course. Giving Havili and Rochow one more week.

Leaves me with;

Cook
Kikau, McGuire
RFM, Murray, Fitzgibbon
Matterson, DCE
Inglis, Aubbs
Ponga, Thompson, RMK

Koroisau, Rein, TPJ, Rochow/Havili

Kennar, Havili/Rochow, Cogger, Douehie

24 trades left afer trades, $48k.

I’m a long way off the pace, but this year has the same feel as when I ranked 17,000in week 1 and finished 108th at the end of the season. I’ve had shit luck so far and am missing Arrow and Fifita.. they’re the two I want going forward.

One could also argue playing 80 minutes he has more chances to miss tackles too...

Smith on the list?

Surprised you still had Carty and Lolo still around. Like good job not trading early and saving trades.

Also some decent PoDs with Fitz and McGuire. What's the plan with Doueihi?

I held hope with LoLo, but he was a good price for a trade. Yes, Smith is on the list, but may be a way off. I’m thinking after origin.

Yep, Smith is on the list for sure. Maybe after origin. Douehie isn’t losing cash and surely Reyno gets injured again soon. Any other injury to the backs probably sees him in as well. I love Reyno, but fuck me he gets hurt a lot.

Is JMK a better cash cow option than rein? No one has mentioned him, but maybe that's because most people already have him?

I am doing Rochow > JMK figure better late than never
