    Yes. If he plays Denver test Kearney said those players would struggle to back up for 16 which would be 2 games missed in next 4

    Can Kearney field a team taking this approach??

    Looks like my aim will be to have 12 this week and 10 in Rd17.

    Can hopefully post north of 500 in both.

    It was the first trade I did before reversing 

    My sell list in order of definite outs. Deciding whether 2 3 or 4 trades

    RFM
    Hiku
    Tohu
    Latrell

    Other people have commented, but why trade out Tohu?

    His only scores under 40 are due to injury and sinbin. Other than that he is comfortably averaging over 50.

    I wonder what will happen. I assume it goes ahead?

    As stated 2 games missed in next 4 is big reason. Kearney has said Denver players will not play rd 16

    I have the same dilemma (though I need either a CTR or WFB). Struggling to decide on who to bring in this week. I have plenty of cash, but none of the options jump out at me:

    Dugan: playing FB but having an off season, always an injury concern
    Fergo: playing FB this week, though probably not quite a keeper
    Marsters: seems ok, bit overpriced for me
    MCK / Fonua: Question marks over job security, though MCK is tempting even if only for a few rounds
    Nofo: Could be on the rebound, could continue stinking it up.

    Leaning towards either Dugan (uhhh it felt dirty even typing that) or MCK....or maybe Fergo



    My pain exactly, I guess I'm leaning more towards MCK. And if I have to burn another trade later so be it. As a Dragons fan, I know Dugan will get injured again...

    So the only top keepers (Avg 50+) to play Rd17 are:

    SJ
    Harris (adjusted for injury)
    McInnes
    Smith

    These are the only guys I'd wanna spend a trade on at that end of the season when things are getting tight trades wise.

    Just makes me wanna get my final team put together and just bring those guys in before 17.

    Make sense?

    Bringing in anyone else just for points just seems unwise.

    My brain is frazzled

    Any advice guys? I have no idea what to do this week Neutral

    I'm thinking these trades:

    JFH --> Taumalolo
    Lamb --> TMM
    Havili --> Koroisau (Could also be DCE, Ponga or Matterson)
    Sorenson --> Radley

    Leaves me with 10 trades remaining and $123k in the bank

    Cameron George (Warriors CEO) Said this morning the Kiwi players who get picked for the Denver test may also miss the match BEFORE they go away, as it's a long trip the Townsville. Said its a wait and see approach, lots of travel for these guys in a short space of time etc.

    I can kind of get that, no point wrecking your season, Warriors have ok depth anyway, especially in the backs.

    You guys are all talking about Taupau, but are missing the fact Lane is going to steal his points with a massive 80 minute game at lock Stoned

    I'm thinking of kicking RFM out this week now, and getting on the Lolo train. Then next week, I cash out Thompson, and grab Smith for Lane. The only thing here is that I may not have alot of $$ to upgrade Homles the following. So instead of having a Teddy/Turbo, I'd have to go the next tier down for a RTS, Aitken type.

    So basically, Lolo + RTS vs RFM + Teddy bounce

    Thoughts?

    Silly to chase MCK when I already have Latrell and Dugan at CTR and DPP Fonua in WFB?

    I am powerless against the charm of an 80 minute second rower available as a fantasy centre.

    Its not like i dont have backup options if Rochow returns, but 2 wasted trades would hurt

    @Finch

    That team is actually not as bad as i would have thought. Good work putting that together, i would have struggled to find the ringers.

    I'd be steering clear especially if you have cover already. When Aloiai gets a crack at it that spot will be his for the long term.

    TMM instead of MCK just feels safer now.
    Will just run with Aitken and Finua with no back up.
