Im sure there were times Hodgson might have had a spell but Im not sure.

Cheers lads. Come Rd17 he should be a good buy fingers crossed.

Sticky said a few weeks back that Hodgson will take a few weeks before playing 80, much like how Havili was utilised. Even with Havili as the hooker Hingano was on the bench. Hodgson has also been in full contact training for four weeks prior to the game today. So maybe Round 18/19 he is back to full role and capacity.

I'm happy with that indeed. Croker may be a nice pick up as well to partner Aitken.

How's there run in? Just had a quick look and it's not the best

Kiwis not going to Denver 17:

1. RTS
2. Nightingale
3. Takairangi
4. Beale
5. SKD
6. Foran
7. Johnson
8. Bromwich
9. Brandon Smith
10. Packer
11. Proctor
12. Harris
13. Mannering

14. Levi/McIlwrick
15. Glenn/Elijah Taylor
16. Kenny Bromwich
17. Matulino

Probably some others I've missed but that's not a terrible line-up.

Feel like they’ll be on the cusp of the eight. A lot to play for. Seemingly more in sync and players getting into some decent form. Hodgson to tighten everything up. Can only all be positives imo. Got them as a dark horse.

Can't believe I went to campo to watch that shite by the Tigers. 879 all up back inside 150 at 138 now.

Alternative Eligible Kiwi team

1. Ponga
2. Katoa
3. Milford
4 Gagai
5 Vunivalu
6. Cleary* (Residency)
7. Thurston
8. Lillyman (Residency)
9. Mcguire
10. Tamou
11 F Kaufusi
12 Napa
13. Papalii

Bit late in the season to be changing your format, Milchy

oops, resorted things and BEs updates

Eek. Just looked at Manly's fixture run. Panthers,, Storm, Roosters, Panthers, Sharks. Might sell DCE to Milf or even gamble on ATaylor. As a sidenote, Manly are screwed.

I traded him and Brimson to Jturbo. I mean its not the worst trade but I could have saved them and had the 150k in the kitty you know. All because of their typo im not sure how it happens?

Yeah i know its ridiculous the nrl website cant be relied on. But you want Jurbo over Eisenhuth foe ur endgame anyway dont u ?

Morning lads.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone here for all of their help so far.
This place makes this game so much fun and definitely would not be doing so well without the banter and encouragement.

PS. I'm running out of trades so less ideas to float around.

Haha enjoy the weekend off

Yeah this sucks 2 weeks to think about 2 trades.. Fonua and TPJ are my current headaches. Add Dugan, Cogger and Martin I have some thinking to do. If Fonua is out for 4 weeks, that's really only 1 or 2 games over that period. Dugan should be back next match. TPJ has question marks on him, but has peaked probably anyway. Martin should come in, surely! Will hold him for a couple more weeks if I can.

So I'm thinking Cogger downgrade, TPJ upgrade this round, followed by Holmes upgrade (well more jump off him, Turbo is only $30k off!), Fonua/Martin dump for a 19th man.

Liking Gall at his current price for TPJ. Holland my Cogger downgrade ATM, depending on Teamlist. McGuire and Hunt are looking good for my 19th man spot.

Only trading if Holland is named at centre. Then I will move Cogger>Holland

Doueihi - Holland for me if Fonua is dead for next round because I have zero CTR cover

I have no cover for Hiku who may not back up from Denver if Warriors are to be believed

This week is looking like TPJ and Murray making way for Hodgson and Arrow.

Will be very tempted to (c) Hodgson against an underweight Broncos. The man looked like he loved playing and wanted to be out there.

Tricky situation with Fonua, might have to trade him. He's near peaked in price anyway, though I would not have been fussed to continue to play him at centre for a while longer. Especially as he's only managed 1 try all season, you'd think he gets a couple more soon.

Don't really need to touch the rest of my 17, unless there are injuries after rep round.

Probably the most frustrating score of the weekend for me was Milford. Scored that early try, at which point I thought, fuck yeah, here comes a 70+. Too many bloody errors and the sin bin just killed his score.
