Gelling missed 3 and 4 tackles last 2. Kata missed 3 all season. Kata will be back as soon as fit. Gelling probably back to utility which even worse for owners

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Hey lads having trouble with who to trade bar Dugan.

Smith
Arrow, Kikau
Murray, RFM, JFH
DCE, Maloney
Aitken, Dugan
Teddy, Ponga, Walker

Cook, Matterson, Sorenson, Havili
Thompson, JMK, Hiku, Gossy

Dugan and Gossy + 100k doesn't leave me with a lot of room. Possibly to improving midrangers could come in I'm unsure.

Thoughts chaps??

I'm going for the safe option this week... Captain Cook.

I went Arrow last week, which worked out well despite his back spasms.
I would go Captain Arrow again this week if I knew his back was ok... maybe again next week

They don't count missed tackles when you don't attempt or misread so badly they stroll past you. But I'll only pick up Gelling if he's named. If not, 2nd or 3rd course of action comes in

Yup, I agree with Verbal Knit - If that were my team I'd be looking to find ways to get Fifta and Taumalolo in ASAP.

I've got a feeling there will be a couple of cows popping up this week too so without looking at how Havili's price will track over the next couple weeks I'd look at Trading a combination of Havili + Thompson/JMK/RFM/Kikau for who ever you don't get this week. Within 2 weeks you should be able to add two more guns to that scoring 17.

Also, if the rumours are true re JMK to hooker there's your ready made Maloney replacement! Then you can cash out Maloney for a C upgrade!

I am also not convinced about bringing in Origin players between now and 17 to be honest.

I was working it out in my head the other day and from memory if you are looking at a 60 point average Origin player (Smith, JTrbo for example) you could pick up a player as low as a 53 point average and still score the same with them between now and the end of round 17. The advantage with the later of course is you are paying less for the 53 point guy than the 60 point guy for the same overall output and can use that extra money else where in the mean time.

That of course doesn't answer or solve your captaincy dilemma but one could argue that right now Cook, Arrow, JTrbo, Fifita all present pretty solid C options too so you could probably live without him.

Disc: I admitted I was wrong on Cam, but I didn't have him to begin with but brought him in a few rounds ago!

What's your team man? Its all well and good for me to be anti your trade ideas but unless there's something better what Im saying means little
