    Of course Glenn slots straight back in. Bennett is on record saying the young blokes have stood up but he has the experienced blokes for a reason. Same goes for McGuire.

    WhiteLightning where you at?

    lol! What Finchy is getting at is that I used to be just like Liverpool_Bulldog about 3-4 years ago. I used to bombard the Sportal forum with many, many trade options daily haha. So LB I say keep it going mate because you throw up trade options that get me thinking plus you're a good man who answers as many posts as you put forward yourself.

    Haha cheers WL.

    My problem this week is purely based around Taupau and whether to bring him in or go for a Surgess so I can make sure McInnes and Harris comes in next week.

    Are there any other RD13 keepers you would recommend. Ive thought about Koro but not sure id class as a keeper.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated?

    Ma'u is on the keeper cusp. Look at his last 3 game average. His base stats over the last 3 games are 40 tackles/game & 130 odd run metres/game. Some may argue he's benefited from Brown's absence but I don't think that's valid because Ma'u is an edge forward & Brown is a middle forward so one does not affect the other.

    I am also bringing in McInnes next week. I am not sure about Harris, this Denver thing has me spooked.
    Might wait for round 17 itself for him and SJ.

    I have convinced myself on Taupau by this reasoning:
    Yes he is probably about 50k overpriced but he is one of just 3 definite FRF keepers (Alvaro didn't make this cut for my list). Assuming you are running Fifita and Arrow in the front row, and given Arrow might be rested for origin and has significant injury history already, Taupau is probably the best possible backup for those two to be sitting in the second row / on the bench. Since he is final 17 material in a difficult position, may as well bring him in for the bye round when he will be his most useful (and probably play big minutes). He really only needs one more fluke 100 this season and he will be worth his pricetag anway- still yet to score a try and might find this score if/when he does.

    I think you're probably right.. well I think TPJ will certainly go back to the middle.

    The Broncos are trying hard to retain Sua though, and want him as an 80 min backrower next season. Definitely a chance to force Glenn back onto bench middle role, but that wouldn't be until Gillett returns anyway.

    I've boiled it down to who would I rather have in my team for Rd14-16

    A: Surgess and McInnes
    B: Taupau and Watson, this option also saves a trade, basically because I won't have the money to upgrade Watson so will be a hold till I do.

    I'm leaning towards B at this point.

    I'm going to bring in Tuala as a cashout. Gives me a reasonable warchest to complete my team in the next couple of weeks.

    Who gets the flick to make way - Inglis or Hiku?

    Whoever I keep will compete with Fonua for a starting spot (or be looped between them when possible)
    They may or may not get traded out later in the season, depending on trade/cash siutation they may stick around as 18th man cover.


    If AJ could stay injured and let Inglis play fullback I'd keep him for sure, but Inglis at CTR needs plenty of tries to keep his scores reasonable.

    I would keep Hiku as he plays round 17. I think when SJ is back Hiku will score better.

    I'm scared of MCK ending up on the bench. If the Tigers actually get a hooker (Grub, just needs fitness), can see Ivan moving his pet ET out wide, potentially pushing MCK to the bench.

    I don't think I have the Balls to get him in, with only 9 trades remaining (after my current plan is done over the next 3 rounds). But my other option Dugan is hardly set in stone player, with his injuries.

    ive done the same with isaako > tuala and looking at bringing in tturbo next week. another person to consider is m.wright who is even cheaper than tuala, if you are looking purely at cashing out

    hard to say who to get rid of out of inglis/hiku with both playing on form edges. i would lean towards getting rid of inglis. hiku has performed more consistently without tries at centre plus he plays 17 (may miss 15 though if he is selected for denver) so i think he is more likely to maintain his price should you need it post 17

    As a Warriors fan, I'm off Hiku. Our worst defensive player ATM, and Beale is lurking and looking good. Another loss or 2, he'll be on the block. He's an easy upgrade for me this week.

    Beale won't get a spot on the bench BTW, Lawton was only there last week to cover a clearly injury hampered Luke, and Hiku in the halves if he was absolute rubbish.

    Apologies if discussed in the last 20 pages I've missed:

    Jake Friend or Wade Graham?

    Linnett back does that worry you re: Tuala. Or are you happy for Tuala to become a nuffy
