I've gone 

TMM - SJ
Barnett - McInnes

Kept Cogger over TMM, but should I use him instead because TMM is the more longterm half prospect and therefore better backup if SJ/ARey go down?

or I could give SJ a week, get in TTurbo and move Mbye into the halves?

Apparently Lamb is back this week in NSW cup. Not sure if that means only one more week for Cogger? Coach said Cogger had his best game so not sure if that has brought him more time

Also noticed Lamb was returning and Pearce within next week or so, think it's probably safer to keep TMM as looks like he has that half spot locked down

If Lamb is fit for NSW Cup he's fit for the NRL. Obviously Brown couldn't drop Cogger after his good performance, so if he has another good game he might even keep his spot?

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

Having CTRs in my squad, and having CTRs I am comfortable scoring for me are 2 different things.

Either way Lamb and Cogger will be in ressies when Pearce is back.

So Stimson is starting but Hoffman is on the bench. Is he there to spell Stimson. Thoughts & thanks.

Ha ha - true!

Or will Hoffman be a late switch for Stimson. Worth having a look this week

Interesting last week when nofo went off injured Lawerence moved to ctr and not MCK

TPJ was always going to go back to the middle. Thaiday was actually good last start. I reckon Bennett is still keeping TPJs head in check.

Note that David Fifita did not play q cup last week and is this week named in extended bench. He is not named in q cup again, but Mago is. May see fifita debut.

Who is Sam Hoare covering for?

I was thinking between him and Johnson and theres a lot to like. Might end up bringing him instead.

Milf is playing origin and has the storm away. I might wait this week and trade in Brown instead

Didn't realise they were playing the storm, give him a miss this week and might go all in with SJ

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

Living off the rep and reaping the salary year after year.
Id be happy to be proven wrong, but i think he is done.

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

Black jack double up!

If i switch Calker and trade out Murray instead i can do the above..

Looking like Thompson --> TTurbo and Murray --> Tohu for me, barring origin craziness.
SJ, McInnes and Brown on the watchlist.
Martin, Su'a and TPJ get to stay.... for now.

I'm not believing many of these line ups, the coaches will hold the cards up their sleeves until an hour before kick off, we'll all need to be checking the final line ups for sure.

I'd be trading Murray, JFH if I still had them, and hold Martin of course, the dude seems to get more minutes and points than any of us expect every week.

I'm;

Smith
Fifi Arrow
Jturb Harris Lolo
SJ Arey
Fonua Olive
Mitchell Ponga Holmes

Cook, Ese ese Surgess TPJ | Martin Friend Cogger Dugan+

10 trades, $35 ITB. Happy with the forwards and depth, backs are a couple keepers short. Thinking at some stage Martin/TPJ to Matterson (half cover), and Friend to Teddy. Cogger and Olive cashed out when peaked.

Hoping Holmes makes a bit more $$ at fullback, priming him for an easy upgrade to RTS. Would leave 5 injury trades, which could be tight on the home stretch!!

Think JMK playing 5/8 is better value for him. Should hold his value till rnd 17 you reckon?

Bloke hasn’t got much confidence but I’d back him for a 40 score once so yeah, he’ll do you well.

He's pretty busy in defence even when playing 5/8th, more time on the park so more points potential, has also spelled Lichaa in the middle when they were both in the team last time
