Lodge: 40 Thaiday: 45
Su’A: 80 Glenn: 60
McGuire: 60
Mago: 20 TPJ: 40 Ofa: 35-40

As for Martin with the benching, that’s some dumb shiiite

Last time you played around something similar when Murray was named on the bench. Out of curiosity, How did that pan out?

Not against the Titans I wouldn't. I have C. Walker in sc & I'm playing him because I think he'll get a good points haul.

But are u like me in say Sportsdeck team where u dont really put much into that other team ? Anyway, its just possible to upgrade them and be done. But it is two totally unscheduled trades hey

What would people do with this team

Smith
Fifita Arrow
Taumalolo Surgess JFH
DCE Matterson
Tuala Fonua
Tedesco Ponga Trbojevic

Cook
Harris
Murray
Martin

Hiku
Doueihi
Dugan
Katoa


Barring injury Thompson for TTrbo is locked in as one trade.

Want to keep the faith with Dugan and Matterson

If Gagai is out for Souths and Doueihi starts, then he can fill in for Matterson, but otherwise I need a half.
Murray the logical tradeout? or hold on and hope something happens to get him a starting spot back?

I would just go with your gut then Rev. As you said just upgrade them & move on.

The first time it worked out, then he got more minutes due to Surgess, then he got reduced mins. So a mixed bag lol.

I’m basing the Broncos minutes off the season start and Bennett’s love for Su’A

Welshy wrote:Baffles me how Bennett has lobbed Both Glenn and McGuire straight back into the starting 13, McGuire been out for weeks will be playing 2 games in 4 days on top of that how well the donkeys pack has gone with Ofa in the middle and TPJ wide. McGuire was always going to start again when fit but still Silly IMO

I hate it. Another reason why I want Bellamy is Bennett is always in love with his veteran forwards. Thaiday starting over Ofa and TPJ is the biggest joke ever.

Yeah I think Murray is the one to sell. Murray on the bench is not the best outcome for fantasy points. You could rationalize keeping him based on the Burgess boys getting suspended but I don't think that's a good reason.

I understand it will likely change come Sunday because of McGuire pulling up from Origin but still

TPJ and Offa both proved they can play big minutes without dropping off the pace and that was replacing 2 big names players they didn't have around them which is more impressive.

Offa has really changed my opinion on him watching him the last few games, TPJ was always a beast.

The sad thing is if Bennett sticks around he would let TPJ and Ofa go to keep Glenn etc

Does it sound better if Surgess and Cwalker become Smith and McInnes ?  Or same difference ?

EDIT - scrap that, about 31k short. I'll sift it over until thursday i reckon.

That's another issue, do they stay if they ain't getting enough time on the park, if someone offers then stating role they might be gone

With all the juicy talent around its what pisses me off about woods to Sharks

Last time Jackson and RFM were both fully fit Martin only played 60 odd mins. Dont see that changing if he starts or starts from the bench

Revraiser wrote:With all the juicy talent around its what pisses me off about woods to Sharks

Correct mate, perceived "big" name over lesser named more hungry/talented players

Woods has got it in him though, shown that in Origin which is worse when he doesn't produce at the same level week in, week out for his club

Revraiser wrote:Does it sound better if Surgess and Cwalker become Smith and McInnes ?  Or same difference ?

I really like those trades Rev. I always go off last 3 game average as it's a better guide of recent form:
Surgess last 3 game average = 41 (I took out his round 11 score & used his round 10 score)
Calker average = 26

Total = 63

Smith average = 63
McInnes avearge = 59

Total = 122

I'll still likely run Martin off the bench, scored 45 in his lesser minutes game

Last time Elliot started lock didn't he only play a non injury affected 20 minutes

Honey Badger wrote:Last time Jackson and RFM were both fully fit Martin only played 60 odd mins. Dont see that changing if he starts or starts from the bench

60 minutes would be fine. He's certainly a better player than Elliott, so should play over him

But with Tolman back too I'm not sure he'll even get that.

I'm a huge fan of both. TPJ because he's a ball playing beast and Ofa because he's a no nonsense forward who always gets the job done.

Id prob cut dugan. You've got three other ctrs in your squad. Id go dugan to a gun half and Murray to another gun forward like brown
