Gosiewski to Haas locked in pending team lists
The other trade is Thompson to Norman or Watson,which should I pick?

Fellow Dugan owners what are your plans. Go to another 'premium centre' or play ya backup and go another direction?

Atm I'm begrudgingly going to another premium

JMK at hooker actually make me want to buy him now. Some cheap base stats in the halves would be nice rather than paying top dollar for Matterson. Probably wont though because job security at the dogs seems abysmal. Wish I had picked him up already though

I'd prefer to hold Dugan buy 4-6 weeks is too long right? Cut n run?

It's an option, but one I'm not fond of

On another note, I havnt been as excited for a TLT since the first round. So many injuries atm and a multitude of possible replacements floating around, but the main thing that has me pumped is that I really have no idea who will pop up. The team lists have been a bit predictable lately which is always deflating when you wait with antic.....pation all week for a curveball to help your team and even the teams that got flogged are 1-17

So with Dugan, Kennar, Croker, Gosiewski, Surgess out as best case scenario. You can field a full team.

Worst case scenario you have 6 out and use two trades. (Oh and Rein on the bench.) Man that hurts. I am sure you know this all already. So why am I pointing it out? To put it all in perspective and realise that hey at least I can field a full 17 this week.

I would prefer to hold him. I just don't think I can. It is so much money, and then would force me to stick Isaako in the CTR's.

I am 14k short of

Isaako -> Latrell
Gosiewski -> Cogger

If I keep Isaako for a week and trade Dugan. That helps me stockpile cash to grab S. Burgess, J. Taumalolo or A. Fifita.

Contemplating holding Dugan? You guys can't be serious.. he's 600k and made of glass. You can get literally any other CTR.

Holding Brown for 3 weeks has been painful, may turn out to be 4. Can't imagine holding Dugan of all people for 4-6 weeks.

I mean it saves a trade, and I just worked out I can get Latrell into my squad without trading him. I am thinking of holding him this week then reassessing the team. Whether that means trading him to S. Burgess/Aitken. I am carrying Gosiewski/JMK. Which if JMK is out, I can use to get myself to Latrell.

Then next week Isaako heads up the list on the chopping block with Thompson, Hiku and Dugan. If any of those guys fall flat, or I get another injury. Then Dugan probably skates through another week. At which point, it could be two another two weeks and I get him back.

JMK at hooker would be interesting. I was going to play Thompson at WFB this week but if JMK is at hooker for 55-60 mins he is probably the better option.

I'd choose Norman. I dont have him yet but would if I didnt have Mbye and ARey as middy halves.

I'm guessing you'll enjoy watching him more as well. That always comes into my consideration.

Any chance Mitchell makes Origin? With no Dugan his chances are surely better. Unsure whether to trade him in or not.

Any news on Peats?

smith (c)
kikau arrow
matterson (v) hess crighton
Dce Norman
inglis D walker
ponga tedesco thompson

cook murray rein maloney godinet gos crocker katoa

189th atm traded walker in for issako and norman for havilli now the reason havilli goes is beacause i wont be able to upgrade him to anyone gunish in the weeks to come as my cash will be going to maloney / surgess and rein to jturbo ... havilli had a great game but i feel hes stil the same 20 -40 point player with no try and hingano around normans on the up and walker i trust will lift his game for manly now hoping for 25-45 from him plus im sick of isaako

No news is good news in my opinion lol

The DT has C Scott out until round 11

Also says Dugan might play this week so who knows lol

Joined to thank Milchow for posting this. Never knew it existed. One question it seems to show runs and passes would it be reasonable to think that runs and passes added together is a rough approximation of what NRL stats used to show as touches? I can't see touches shown. Thanks

I've got Dugan and I think I'm going to hold him for this week. I can't bring myself to trade him because that's two trades down the gurgler and I'm no better for it. My thoughts atm since I have Doueihi still:

1. IF Gelling is named to start. This means they favor him and he's put out two solid performances. He scored well (37) in a losing team. I think he's stronger defensively too. It also allows me to upgrade a WFB if needed. (HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD)

2. Upgrade Doueihi to Ramien for $94k. Solidifies my centre, allows Dugan to come into my WFB when he's fit, but limits my upgrade options to anyone under TTurbo. (LOW-MED RISK)

3. Play Isaako. Cash out Doueihi to Fonua, Upgrade Dugan to Teddy or TTurbo with close to no money.
