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.

Arrow, Fifi
Turbo, Lolo, Crichton

CHEERS!

I been waiting for a chance to get at you no.8! Hahahaha. But for reals, the team looks good mate. Honestly, I don't have a problem with playing Tuala at all, I think he is dece, a solid ctr option and if he can keep the spot permanently he'll go ok. Like you've already said, the position is a crapshot so just play what you have mate. As for Hiku, surprised you still have him but that may very weel work out in your favor this week with the rumours hat RTS ain't yet fit and may miss another week. This would presumably see Hiku shift to the back again and he goes ok there. Also ok with that move for the week.

I hear what you are saying regarding Fainu as a max cash out but would it not make more sense to bring in Brown (L) who is the same price and probably the more likely candidate? At least he'll play. Of course, if it's for the purposes of loopholing then go for Fainu although I think there's other teams that have better draws for looping than the Sea Eagles.

As for your team mate, I know you are attached to Murray (rightly so, kid is a gun) but I think your love is detrimental to your team currently. I can get on board with Rapa being ousted with his injury but I would definitely be holding Martin for at least another week or two to see what the program there is at the doggies. He is a keeper basically if back into the side and still has money to make. I can get on board with SJ in at the expense of Murray but Martin makes it a little less black and white.

The rest of it is gold. Nice bench, good depth and coverage... looking tight IMO mate.

Heya Mearcats, why not get the wise rodents advice.

Cook

LoLo, Fitz, Harris
SJ, DCE

Ponga, Teddy, Walker

Smith, Cleary, WGraham, Surgess
Watson, Martin, Fonua, Brimson

Have currently brought in SJ/Harris for Murray/Kikau

Leaves me 9 trades

Fire away mate.

@ wackos - Slater ruled out of Knights game.

Will Slater do a Peter Wallace & retire. Father time catches up with everybody except me.

Think I will just go the 2 trades this week until I get more news on Martin
Hunt seems a great value swap for and injured Korisau and allows me to bring Brown in for Murray

Taumalolo Arrow Harris
DCE ARey
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
McInnes
Murray
Sua

Lane
Martin
Brimson
Olive

Am sitting around 300 rank so I’m thinking of going all out with
Murray to Hetherington
Lane to Brown
Martin to Jurbo

Leaves 9 trades and 1k bank. What do you think of this buddy?

Love seeing Pacey lurking, waiting on the team lists an hour out...Legend!

So thoughts on the following.

Murray -> Harris
Martin -> McInnes
$14k to upgrade Su'A

or

Murray -> RFM
Martin -> James
Su'a -> Harris


or

Murray -> RFM
Martin -> Harris
Su'a -> McInnes

If Mearcats is doing team reviews, thoughts on this steaming pile of shiii...

C. Smith
A. Fifita, J. Arrow
J. Taumalolo, S. Burgess, N. Brown
A. Reynolds, D. Cherry-Evans
L. Mitchell, E. Aitken
K. Ponga, J. Tedesco, M. Mbye

C. Cook, J. Su'a, C. Murray, R. Martin

A. Brimson, T. Hodkinson, J. Segeyaro, L. Brown

I am thinking the trades I mentioned above and Brimson to a cashout, most likely Wright due to the DPP.

Two great trades mate, though both could be in danger of missing out after the Denver test (though I highly doubt it). The only other way I would go is to look at James or NuBrown. I assume you have trade plans in mind for Watson? Sitting pretty dece though mate. Nothing to stress about there, that's for sure.

Hughes FB this week, FB for RD17 and possibly even RD18 if Slater is rested. Plus he was at 17 this week.

Meat cats I need you my friend
I have done Murray to Fainu and Cogger to SJ leaving 11 trades and 6K

Team is:
Cook
Arrow Fifita
Jurbo Crichton Tolo
SJ DCE
Ramien Mitchell
Turbo Fonua Ponga 

McInnis Smith TPJ S’ua
Fainu Martin TMM Brimson

Any suggestions mate. Don’t really like the 6K leftover but I really want SJ!

Hi Mercats, I posted my team back on the last page. Am looking to now go;
Koro --> SJ
Cogger --> Mann
Murray --> NBrown

Sound? Leaves me with 10 trades, so feel it is worth it. Other option for NBrown is Tohu, can't afford McInner. OR Mahoney instead of Mann. Any thoughts appreciated bud. Thanks in advance

Fainu not available to play still I thought? How about Mann or Mahoney as cashouts? i've gone with Mann...

Banking on either Fainu getting allowed this week or next or just use him as a 212K nuffy loop

Figured I can cover that RD if both are out. Those guys as opposed to bringing in SJ you reckon?
