If Woods doesn't go, then only Klemmer will be missing from the DOgs pack in 17, which doesn't necessarily mean anything that amazing for Martin.


Unless you just love low BE players, in which case lets all trade in Anthony Gelling for his round 17 score and cash.
(depending on the NZ team and who gets rested, he might even play a couple of games in the nest few weeks)

Which is why I said you'd wait to see if he takes the field this week before making any choices on keeping him or upgrading him.

I think if he doesn't play this week I will dump him.

Not going to hold on on the off chance he makes it back. Everychance even if he does return he'll be off the bench with RFM and Jackson as the starting wide players. 
Can upgrade him to someone with a more reliable spot and scoring ability so I can watch them get injured 3 minutes after I trade them in.

Ahhh the trade in that goes down during warm up while your stuck at the bar because it's your round. We've all been there.

Have changed my way of thinking and am thinking of going all out
Murray to Fainu
Lane to Brown
Martin to Jurbo(dependant on if Martin is named)

Leaves me with 9 trades,14k and team looking like this

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Taumalolo Arrow Harris
DCE ARey
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
McInnes
Jurbo
Brown

Sua
Fainu
Brimson
Olive

After round 17,Sua and one other(Brimson?) are cashed out to upgrade ARey to SJ if need be(haven’t decided yet) and Isaako to Aitken probably. Then all I would need is a solid 18th man but I should still have 5 or 6 trades left at that point so I should be ok. Thoughts on this?

Watmough is a cunt of a human though, he's probably not lying but I certainly wouldn't be taking his word as gospel.
Manly sounds like a dump of a club for a player to be at right now but that doesn't rest on DCE's shoulders and Watmough sounds bitter AF.

So basically Watmough thinks all players are better than the club itself and knows all. He was basically trying to get all the old boys retirement payments, after taking under's thinking everyone, including the board, were going to give them huge deals to make up for it.

Dreamer! They all left and were rubbish at their new clubs.. Imagine if they stayed together another couple years, Manly would have been terrible.

You didn't get to your current rank without backing your gut!

I reckon captaining Fonua against a weak Raiders backline is the better option though
