Well that's a bummer.

Tempted to trade to McInnes / Cleary this week.

High BE and with Tolman back and Martin still around he could potentially could lose minutes?

Holding till after R17 would be nice but could loose ~$80k in the process if he averages 40..

I think RFM will play 80 each week unless injured so could still be a keeper. I traded him already. Time will tell if that was the right call.

Rather tempted to trade him to McInnis now

While Martin is on the bench, could be a trade out but a BE of -1 means he is a hold and should rise in price until the bye round.

Martin will start won't he?

Martin is starting? I thought he is on the bench.

Im really struggling this week with my team. Can anyone offer a fresh eye for me please.

Smith
Fifita Arrow
Tolo Taupau Murray
MBye Reynolds
Mitchell Marsters
Teddy Ponga Fonua

JFH Griffin Martin Crichton 

Cook Doueihi Coggar Thompson

15 trades and only 20K.

Nothing is really sticking out to me and thinking of not even trading. Although do I need another cheapie like Olive, Tuala, Katoa?? Maybe for Thompson? Cook to mC9 is enticing but don't think I need to.

Cheers.

Edit. Obviously things might change now. Bah.

Edit 2. Even tempted to swap Thompson for Hughes.

I suppose that just makes my plans a bit more concrete. Or will the fact he wont lose any cash make it tougher??

My Murray and Rapana to Cleary and Turbo trades have been ruined with Murray starting now.

Are these still good trades regardless of this news? I think my Rapana punt was a fail and I don't know if he can find form again.. mid 30s since owning him.

Oh shit. Why did they even fly to Gold Coast then?

Wacko seems to think he will start over Elliot. Nothing official.

Nah. The casino is pretty shit haha.

Is the fact that Cleary doesn't goalkick anymore be of concern? I am trying to justify trading Matterson to him.

Yeah but Pay likes to change it an hour before kickoff and I think someone else (?) posted he will start??

I'll have a crack.

I'd hold Cook and I think it's time to turn Thompson into some cash. I reckon you need to push Mbye down to WFB and get in another elite half. If Crichton is out then you'll have to Douehi or Coggar too. Maybe Thompsonand one of JFH/Slade to a gun half?

He will take it back soon enough. Just getting his legs back.

Manly confirm both Turbos will start tomorrow

Cook and Crichton out is great. Don't have Crichton and decent depth so doesn't bother me

For people who are trading Cook - its better that he plays off the bench than gets rested (so he can drop cash)

For those that are holding him, most wouldn't have been playing him in their 17 this week unless forced to, so its not really a big deal
