Smith one week ban

Fullas, i'd appreciate a few thoughts on this...

My team before trades this week has me first in my H2H at work, but a lowly 2158th overall so i'm looking to move up a bit.

Cook
Fifita Arrow
Harris RFM JFH
Widdop Matterson
Gagai Ramien
RTS Ponga Tedesco

Murray Havili Rein Martin

Kikau Nicholls Isaako Brimson

Im thinking Rein and RFM out, which allows a KFC upsetting Macca and Grand Angus shopping spree if i shake the piggy bank real hard!

Bbuutt.....whats the general feeling RFM vs Angus?  $70 grand for 5 points a week (so far) worth the hollow feeling that cutting RFM creates?

So tempting to punt him, but come post origin, you want him in your team.

Yeah it's a tough one alright.

My team can take the blow so will keep him around.

Smith out makes it easier for me to bring DCE in as I think the Sea Eagles can definitely win now.

I better make sure I make a mental note to return the gesture to you when one of your players go down.

Need to decide who between Kikau, Havili or Murray goes for Surgess/Fitzgibbon

DCE that dominant a half worrying about the opposition is pointless mate, he is far and away the best option in the halves without SJ and his lack of injury worries probably now puts him above him

All good mate, it's part of the game

if Arrow is back it's no real loss.

Think I will also go Smith to Macca extra 2 rounds from him to his over Smith and every chance to better his avg until end of season anyway

Trying to steer people away from ARey I see.

Fair point. I'm always wary bringing a player in when they play the Storm away though.

Why is the GF a week earlier this year ?

Just alluding to AReys injury risk like any good honest person should, saying he has had a run of x amount of games and then dispelling his recent injury history is plain stupid to me

plus his price is probably lowest or will be from now until end of season perfect time to jump on

Rats. I was hoping he would contest it. That way he'd either miss 2 weeks and be an obvious trade out, or miss nothing.

I feel ya mate.

I wouldn’t be touching Hodkinson with a 40 foot pole. Completely fantasy irrelevant. Will actually help DCE’s scores.

Imo.
