Done!

So Sam's 80 gets deducted = 320 min
Angus plays 80 = 240
Burgess twins - 90 = 150 min
Nicholls and Nicholls have been playing 30 odd = 90 min
Sutton plays 60-70 w Surgess = 20 min

So unless Sutton or Nicholls play reduced minutes, Murray is looking at 20 odd minutes. His biggest game was 69 minutes once for 61, but he scores over 50 in all his games over 50 minutes. So he'd need Sutton, Nicholls and Tatola to play 10 min less each to be a hold.

Someone mentioned earlier that wednesday = sod all, hence we have to deal with this type of shite sometimes...


Only jibing @Rapture. I'd think Murray's going to keep and increase his minutes going forward.

You're on! He got some of Suttons minutes when they had the same pack earlier in the year, and he's so much better than him that he makes Sutton look like a reserve grader.

Sam has only played 80 once in his 5 games, average is 70, so there's another 10 minutes

Burgess twins have only played 90 between them once this year, and that was a week Surgess was out.
Average for games when Surgess plays is 75 minutes, so there is another 15 minutes.

Nicholls only reasonable minutes have come when Surgess is out, he is looking ta only 20 odd minutes, so there's another 10 minutes for Murray.

Another 30-35 minutes for Murray conjured up with little effort.

Doueihi will rest ARey/Cook or cover backline injury - unlikely to impact to forward minutes


Murray doesn't look to be a season keeper with the way Souths are setting up, but your analysis there seems overly pessimistic

True but then Lolo misses 17 so it's really only one game difference unless your going to sideways Lolo to a rd17 gun.

I have Tolo and Fifita so Arrow is a hold for me. Don't want to use a trade to get him out and want him back in a few weeks time. Arrow is in 17 for Voldemort purposes this week.

Alright so Sutton has to play 80 for me to win.

What about HIA or Injury. Too bad to me?

One of my mates has an ex missus who goes by the same name

Cook came off early last week and Doui went into Hooker I'm pretty sure. Maybe Fittler has been into Seibold and asked him to rest Cook so he is fit for origin

I'm 12% tempted by JFH

JAC would be ballsy and could pay off handsomely

Yeah, but Arrow will either be one of two things you'd think around 17:

Not fit to play club games; if fit, then playing Origin potentially.

Na were both gentleman, if something like that happens we can just call it a draw.

Origin selection worries me more than injury. I'm thinking that theres going to be a lot of people without the trades to deal with the usual late season carnage and I don't want to be one of them.

I can trade for anyone with just Sorenson, who to bring in first? Taumalolo or Fifita

I like the cut of your jib!

Only MF would celebrate his 5000 post, discussing the finer details of an Avatar bet.

Alllllrighty then hahaha I'll shut up

Nah I originally worked out 50+ min for Murray but then accounted for Tatola rather than Doueihi on the bench. I'd rather see the conservative side though, not to be pessimistic but so I can see where the floor is and look up. I'm going to hold Murray in the hopes he keeps up the trend of 50+ for 50 min

Finalised my trades,going Arrow to Tolo and Cogger to Martin.
18 trades left 0k bank

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Tolo Kikau RFM
Matterson DCE
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
Murray
JFH
Sua

Martin
Lane
JMK
Gosiewski

If anyone has the time can they please cast an eye over my team and offer me any advice you may have? Really stuck as to what my next move should be(apart from trying to save trades)

Souths guru on sc addicts Joseph Tannous said Doueihi will play off the bench & that one of Clark/Tatola will drop off so they analysed the impact on Murray & they concluded that they reckon Murray will play 50-60 minutes.

Its still all guesswork. Right now I don't see how he gets more than around 50 minutes, this week.

I can't see Murray being the first sub on the field, that will likely be Tatola when first prop is subbed. Murray may come on next though, but will that be 25 mins, or 30 mins into the game?

Murray may play out the game once he comes on.. or me may not.

Siebold may be opting for both burgess brothers this week due to Dragons big pack. Also every chance that Murray is back to starting next week.

Personally, I think Murrays going to keep playing around 45-55 mins.

If they both were to score, say, 60 then they both end up at 870kish. Based on that I think you save yourself 10k if you grab Fifi this week. That's if you are looking at getting them both over the next couple of weeks?

Bump, Sorry to do it. I wont have time to make this decisions over the next few days and would love some advice.

Fortitude wrote:Can I please have your thoughts on the following two options.

Arrow > Fifita
Cronk > RTS

Means I don't have to play Hiku.

Or,

Arrow > Surgess
Cronk > Arey

Means I have to watch Arey look injured after every tackle.

I think both fifita and Surgess are both going to be keepers. RTS is probably more of a keeper than Arey, but different positions, so different expectations etc.

What do you all think?
