This is neither a query nor advice. I just wanted you all to know how forlorn this makes me.

get Macca to ease the hooking bench woes, I reckon he goes close to McInnes or beats his average from now until season

I'm expecting a monster score fro Ma'u tonight. First try scorer as well

What's everyone's conundrum for the week asides from the Fainu dramas?

I'm ready to pop my @mearcats cherry. I think i'll still grab Fainu as a max cashout but not sure which way to go after that.

Thinking of playing Hiku in my WFB and Tuala in my centres since it's such a crapshoot. Thoughts were Rapana and Martin to Fainu and SJ. This would push DCE to the bench and Murray to 18th man.

Any help would be great.

Cook
Arrow, Fifi
Turbo, Lolo, Crichton
Cleary, DCE
Aitken, Tuala
Ted, Ponga, hiku

Smith, Surgess, Tohu, Murray
Brimson, Hetherington, Rapana, Martin

CHEERS!

I really need Surgess and Walker to have good games tonight. I fear the worst.

I am getting rid of Murray. Or is it better to get rid of Martin. I really don't know the answer to this question.

Surgess will hopefully put some glue on his hands

I do rate Macca and had him up until his 6 week one week injury.
But it worries me that he has only put up one decent (>45) score since round 5, discounting his try affected game in round 10. All but one of those were 80 minutes too. I just think that elbow injury is bothering him a bit and consider him too big a risk until he proves otherwise. Might still jump on after origin if he starts posting 50s again.

Really tempted to trade Fitz to Macca. Looks lovely having Smith, Cook, McInnes and McCullough

I'm selling both:
Murray out - Reed Mahoney in
Martin out - McInnes in

Mahoney reminds me of Police Academy

The best time to face the big boys is early in the season. They might get a couple of draws & beat Cardiff.

Cook
Fifi Taupau
Turbo Murray Crichton
DCE reynolds
Mitchell Isaako
Mbye Ponga teddy

McCullough Arrow Sua Fonua
Martin Cogger Olive Doueihi

Only doing Murray-Harris leaving 247k. Should i be doing more? Feel like i wont be able to get smith or McInnes in later now.
