Murray to McInnes or SJ?? Safe option most prudent?

McInnes safer because of SJ injury history and potential Denver test

McInnes slight risk of replacing Cook potentially or at least getting a bench spot for later origin

Sounds like I should get both haha.
This is not ideal

Will have to keep a close eye on the team lists for Rabbits. If Murray is on bench straight to McInnes.

If Kikau scores well (40+) in the first game I'll hold Matterson till next week.

One of the greats.

Wanting to get CSmith in this week. Means I will need to downgrade Murray to Oliver and Havili to Smith. Not sure this is a good move. Could ride Havili a little longer (with Cook) and hope Murray gets a run while Crichton gets a rest ??? is this a good move Yeah / Nah ??

He really was, in the wise words of Bill Mclaren

They don't make them like that anymore. 

Olive looking like the only cashout this week?

Hey everyone,

Been a bit busy while I've moved over to London these past few weeks. Anyone got any good details on how to watch the games over here and especially state of origin tomorrow?

Have tried catching up on all the threads but probably will never find the time to do it all

Tuala and Katoa pretty close behind too.

Penrith skipper Peter Wallace has been ruled out indefinitely with a tendon issue in his shoulder. He will be nursed through the remainder of the season with no return date in sight. Anyone interested in Sione Katoa (335k hok/2fr) even though he'll share the hooking duties with Egan.

Damn, all those assholes that picked the wrong Katoa by mistake are laughing now.

From the team lists these seem to be the cash outs under 300k:
Stimson 286k - starting but Hoffman on bench
Staggs 274k - on bench
Olive 266k - starting with Morris 6 weeks away
Tuala 261k - starting with Hampton dropped out of 17 which I can't understand as he's been one of the Cowboys best. Has Hampton been a bad boy or just injured.
TMM 299k - starting & seems locked
AJ Brimson - ok he's 309k but I like the way he plays & is starting & locked
Sione Katoa - Panthers hooker. He is 335k but another player I like as he's a real goer. Peter Wallace seems like he'll be out for a while
Sione Katoa 215k - Sharks winger. Feki dropped for him
Mahoney 212k hok. Will debut for the Eels from the bench but could be out next week

My trades this week are:
Thompson out - Turbo in
C. Murray out - any 434k & under option (will be one of the above options) atm I like Stimson but Hoffman on the bench worries me. I also like the Panthers Katoa. I am open to suggestions. Thoughts & thanks

That prognosis you listed above on Peter Wallace doesn't sound very optimistic at all. Price is still reasonable, but will have to look at minutes and scores. Plays 17 too.

i would aim for a rnd17 player at the very least. a bit put off by stimson, as he could be replaced by hoffman at any stage, and doesnt have the best ppm. however, he is the only forward on the list and may play 80 in round 17 (good for 35 points?).

if 35 points is a good benchmark perhaps skatoa is the most likely to get there as a 50-55 min hooker. its like throwing a dart at these guys though which is why im holding off for now and bringing in two guns (turbo+SJ).

luai could also have a run for the panthers same as mann who are quite cheap and can be picked up on the bye round if nothing better comes up

Panthers Katoa (PSK) hasnt done much in the last two games.

Probably a cashout but Wallace might be back for 17 thus making it an uninteresting one.

Great summary mate.

I like Stimson and he 'should' be fairly safe for Rd 17 with Kaufusi playing Origin......but I foolishly traded him in to my team during an "I don't give a shit' moment earlier in the season (and subsequently had to trade him out), so I mentally may not be able to overcome that hurdle....despite the overwhelming logic.
