But then Cleary praised his performance post game. If he wasn't late for training he would have played last week.

I hope he hangs around and continues scoring well. I’m just cautious

Think I will sell Kikau and bring in Hipgrave and Fonua. Maybe lolo next week

If Lolo scores his avg 53 he drops 10k approx but having said that he only scored 30 last time when he played against the Storm in Rd3. A similar performance will see drop below 800K for the second time this season.

Those that are thinking of bringing in T. Harris. The late mail says Lino (leg strain) is in doubt after only training lightly this week & Hiku, Harris or Beale are contenders for the half spot if Lino doesn't play.

That's the thing-he said something to the effect of "I can tell you there will be 3 debutants, FQC/Faufusi/Arrow and Arrow will be playing off the bench"*.  It was matter of fact and had me believing he has a say in it.

Arrow BE 53 which he will more than likely hit but shouldn't go up a ridiculous amount (famous last words).  So would rather bring in a Rd 13 player and see if Arrow backs up (Titans play Friday).  

No say in it whatsoever, bar for the fact that he is a pretty good mate of Walters. QLD selectors are Gene Miles, Locky and Walters.

Pick two.

Havili, Martin, hiku, isaako, fonua

5 trades. Thats 2-3 keepers only.

Maybe he's just going all value and bypassing the big guns?

Martin, Havili for me

Definitely Martin & it's close between Hiku & Fonua but I like Fonua who can actually tackle.

I'm a stickler for past fantasy scores

Taupau, does this every year? Does he break his own fantasy consistency and go above his last 3 year average of 51.5? Currently priced at 62.6 points for a 56.5 average BUT his minutes are great currently which probably saves his sometimes sub 40 scores

Have a feeling Taupau is doing a Lolo from last year. Injuries/salary cap have dealt him a hand where he has to play big minutes. This might turn out to be an outlier year for him ( I am banking on that )

Apparently Hiku was training in the halves so Harris appears safe.

I don't think that apology was genuine.

It actually was a genuine apology mate.

I'm sorry I had to go do some work and wasn't able to please the masses and continue the rhyme....

I don't think that was a genuine apology.

Someones done some planning! i like MS. Any factoring for urgent trades if injury strikes or hoping to have sufficient coverage on the pine? And for the fact that potentially Cogger only gets one more game and then isn't seen again meaning 450 will be a struggle?

I wouldn't say that Mbye and Dufty are keepers (of the top tier at least) but then there's nothing to suggest they wont be either. Both have hit decent scores throughout the season so clearly have the ceiling, can they consistently hit it though is the question.

People will say the two CTR's arent the elites either but myeh, they're centers, fuck that noise.

Other than that, solid bro. Is the above strategy the rate at which you will trade them? Seems to be holding JMK longer than I'd personally like. Cogger as well. Or is that order merely the way it came out while typing up?

No interest in burning trades on backs when they are all super inconsistent
