That's shit from Pay if true, kid has done nothing wrong and Frawley is horseshit

First Joan Dugan and now JMK?! What next???

Penciled it trading out Isaako and Hiku, and bringing in 2 reliable centres.

Excluding Dugan, thoughts on the top centres?
1) Aitken
2) Marsters
3) Mitchell
4) Roberts
5) Ramien
Marsters, Aitken, Ramien, Roberts, Mitchell

Was going to upgrade Isaako this week, but with Gosiewski and Dugan out he might get to stay around another week.

Dugan being out might give Katoa a shot though

Aaron Gray doubles last 2 reserve games?

Honestly if JMK is dropped for Frawley then Pay is fucking both of them over bigly. No wonder the dogs can’t score points.

Just on Katoa.

MTB lists his BE as 23.
I don't even list his BE because my spreadsheet can't tell the difference between Sione Katoa and Sione Katoa

But his true price is going to be around $198,000 (due to the -3 in round 1), not the $212,000 he is listed at, so his actual BE will be over 30, as he actually has to rise about $15k in price before he makes a profit that you will see.

This is all assuming he even gets named tomorrow

JMK dropped wouldnt surprise me. They keep losing, something has to change. Hes the obvious scapegoat.

Another sneaky option is try Holmes again at FB, move Leutele out and use Capewell in the centres. Secures Soro's spot.

This will never happen, just me wishful thinking.

Fuck you Josh Dugan. And now we're throwing JMK into the mix. FML. Just need Peats to come back early this week to complete the rout. I bloody well need Brown and Soro back this week. I held Surgess and also have Kennar, Croker and Gosi. I am in deep shit.

Until know I’ve thought covering every position in the 8 reserves was the safe way to go. But there haven’t been many late withdrawals this year that needed cover.
This leads me to wonder why should you keep CTR cover in your reserves? No money being made by sitting that cover on the bench.
Isaako nearly and Hiku definitely have stopped making money now. Would like to get rid of them both for a CTR to run with Croker. Was looking at C Scott but he seems injured.

Any speculation on who the replacement panthers FB will be that Edwards is out?

So do I but I'd swap sides. Taupau 104 left of logo and the bloke out right almost looking at his score. See how that looks.

So far i have managed to avoid all the major problems so far this round.
Here is my team before trades this week with 59k bank:

Cook
Arrow Fifita
Murray RFM JFH
SJ Maloney
Cotric Mitchell
Tedesco Ponga Thompson

Smith TPJ Rein Kikau

Havili Cogger Isaako Katoa

Moved up to rank 406 after my best round of the season so far scoring 944.

22 trades left and can't see anything urgent this week so I think my best move would be to bank the 2 trades. Everyone agree?

fuck it, i'm just gunna hold Dugan, he's  very arguably the best of a lo of bad options at CTR when he's on the field, was gunna bring in Cogger & Fifita, but if i'm short a CTR & a WFB (for JMK), i guess Mitchell & Tom Turbo it is

What about Peachey? Another round or two before cleary returns isn't it?

From a footy perspective don't mind if they drop JMK but it should be Cleeland getting the run not Fawley.

If the news is true, how about Dugan and JMK to Ramien and RTS? I can field 17 assuming Arrow, Brown, Soro and Rein all play.

I'm not sure I'll make any trades this week yet.

Smith
Fifita Arrow
Kikau Murray RFM
Matterson ARey
Inglis Mitchell
Ponga Teddy Mbye
Cook TPJ Su'a JFH
Isaako Haas Gosie CChrichton

Isaako can stay for now. He should get his BE this week and DPP cover is handy. Not much to downgrade to.

Any ideas?
