With Manly's injuries, is it worth holding the second trade and grabbing Hastings/the Manly hooker who might come in? Both will play long term and Sorensen probably won't.

I think do your initial trades. Skip Manly altogether.

@Wolfking I brought in Sorensen for the cash generation, 3-4 week job security and possible decent scores. If you can afford a low-medium risk, I'd pull the trigger

Any thoughts guys?

I would take out Rochow out of these two.

With the number of injuries this round I would probably save the trade and see if anyone stands out come TLT time.

Havilli is at the mercy of Ricky's insane rotation policies Wolfie. Rochow is going to lose coin but plays Rd.13 and can score well infrequently.

Tough one and the way players are falling trades are crucial. I have Kennar, Croker and Gossy to worry about SO FAR this round. I would go Havilli by a whisker.

Tough one Milfy. Fifita playing as captain today as well. I would go Sorensen as the Cronulla coach has stated they are going to err on the side of caution in regards to Lewis.

Your a braver man then me going near Manly at the moment until the dust settles on the Hastings fiasco.

I am not sure if getting Hastings would be a good decision anyway, it will take time for him to get into some sort of form and win back the trust of his teammates.

The new Manly hooker could be a great pick though if he gets the starting hooker job.

I am thinking Sorensen is the better pick but I also have Rein to trade out in about 3 weeks so if Sorensen has to go in 3-4 weeks as well that's two forced trades.

Apparently Manly are the road for the next 5 games so plenty of opportunity for team bonding sessions at strip clubs or where ever.

Have you escaped the Croker, Kenner and Gossy carnage Milfy?

Thanks guys. Haven't used any trades yet this week so can afford to do one. Will do Rochow to Soro I think.

Okay mate. Will have more of a think. Thanks dude.

Only have Croker injured in my team. Trading him to the new Manly hooker if named could be a shout.

I have a new strategy.
Every time I try to make a 50/50 call I always choose wrong. Every time.

So tossing up between Rein and Sorenson, I was most keen on bringing in Rein.
I weighed up all the variables. The decision is made. It is done. Rein is my man

So now all that is left to do in my plan is to wait until the last minute and switch to Sorenson.

Foolproof.

Rewatching highlights from last night and that hit on JMK is a thing of beauty. Hit of the year so far.

Don't rely on it to happen.
Barrett did say that Koroisau is his best hooker and his preference was to keep him there.

No charge for dce on the eye gouge

Is that Tom Wright fella people were talking up preseason still in the picture?

Barrett said pre season that Tom Wright would spend the season in reserve grade but he might get a run later in the season.

Didn't watch last nights game.

Any particular reason for Koro's low score.

I did notice the negatives but did he move into half after L Croker's injury?
