    @Wolfking have you considered Hess too. Side by side, Hess edges Crichton slightly.

    Yeah kicking myself for going Taumalolo over Fifita last week. Bringing in another 2RF will probably leave me in regret again so I'll likely go Fifita and have $474k which isn't bad bank I think

    Yeah Hess going good but I think Crichton I'd like to have in my final team. Just looking at my trade options it's either;

    Maloney - Lamb
    Griffin - Fifita

    Or

    Maloney - Reynolds
    Rein - Crichton

    I want Fifita but actually leaning towards the second option.

    I agree with the second option. Pretty solid

    I know, it is hey fellas. Thanks. Something every week stops me from getting Fifita haha. Griffin can be downgraded the next week and I can still get Fifi the week after anyway.

    I don't think hodkinson affects DCE. He may just allow DCE to run the ball more on the 5th, knowing that hokko can take the last tackle kick, if needed.

    Interestingly it appears Hodkinson hasn't played a single game of NSW cup this year - have they just been keeping him on ice in case needed in the NRL? His knees cannot be good.. interesting that the Sharks are happy to let him go as well.

    Cook will 100% be in the team at either 9 or bench utility

    I would bet that Mcinnes will start at 9 with Cook coming in at around the 55th minute and take advantage of the tiring maroon forward packs.

    Yeah I was surprised everyone had a negative sentiment with Hodko effecting DCE.

    Sure, he'll take a few kick metres but hopefully it'll open DCE up to more attacking stats in other areas having less 5th tackle pressure on him.

    I think you want Cook having more minutes than that
    Give McInnes the first 30 to be a tackle bot and provide solid service. Cook comes on after that and exploits some weak defenders around the ruck. He is good enough defensively to hold his own for 50 minutes and let JTurbo and JDB control the ruck defensively

    Just with your concerns with Walker mate, not sure if you have knew but his Mum passed away a few days before the Knights game last week and played well.

    Yesterday was obviously Mothers Day and her funeral is today. He'll be right mate.

    2 of these guys miss out on the 17...

    RFM, Kikau, Murray, JFH, Lamb, Martin?

    Atm Lamb and Martin. Is that fair?

    Thoughts on;

    Johnson - Matterson
    Maloney - Fifita

    $99k ITB, with Rein primed for trade out next week? Probably to Turbo/Teddy/Koro/Mbye, or to a cow.

    I'm also watching Gutho... He could be looking juicey as a EMG filler in a few weeks, if he can get a score or 2, that is.

    If we are putting Murray in the dog box is he worth trading out over Havili?

    C. Smith, S. Griffin, J. Su'a, J. Marshall-King

    J. Arrow, N. Brown, J. Dugan, Nuffie

    Griffin and JMK on the block. Who are the best year long Nuffies?  I don't have the cash flow for Fifita. So thinking of guys like J. Trbojevic, McCullough, Surgess. I wasn't too inspired by S. Burgess this week though. Ideally want to go lower cash so I can turn Su'a into Fifita. I want to hold Murray a week and then look at him to Surgess next week. $17k short of doing Griffin & Su'a -> Bronson & Fifita

    Bump.

    R.Jacks > Lamb
    Thompson > Fonua

    Lamb should be easy jump to Cleary in a few weeks and Fonua making money for a few weeks and has probably secured his spot now.

    295K ITB

    Both will be playing in the 17
