Suspended for 2 weeks.

Shit, these team lists have completely changed my plans, knew I shouldn't have made plans until today!

So, TPJ named to start, can't ditch him when he plays next week. Martin is a hold (all season hopefully) Dugan injured, the f*cker has burnt me, with Fonua out, Olive dropped.. I'm 2 backs short.

So, Fonua -> Holland, Basically locked in.
I can also trade Dugan to say Hoppa/Aitken/Croker, would give me an extra 2 scores over the next 2 weeks so worth it, right?

Means I'll have to wait on Gallen, which could see him become over priced.

Thoughts on Fainu and Lachlan Lewis as cashout?

Fainu: Got Hodkinson and M.Wright that might be sharing minutes at 9. But if Manly are going to great lengths to get him into the team, you'd think he'd get a decent shot at it.

Lewis: Future uncertain, does ok in ressies

Fonua > Fainu
Cogger > Lewis

Trade TPJ to Martin or hold him? Could also bring in Hoppa/Aitken seeing as I only have Olive as CTR cover

Now I need to choose the right CTR to partner Aitken... That's not going to be fun

tossing up between Fainu and Lewis as my cashout.
Lewis tempting because he plays round 17.
Would it be fair to assume he will do a lot of the kicking? JMK not a big kicker and Mbye now gone from the team. Could be a handy pickup and a better option to play over Brimson until I recruit SJ next week.

My first trade is Murray > SJ but I just realized I'm a centre/WFB down with Olive and Hiku out. Holland seems like a good downgrade but Curtis Scott at 351k is mighty tempting. I only have 444k for a centre/WFB so it's a struggle.

After a week off from Fantasy I came back refreshed only to see I have replace RFM and Fonua . At this stage going RFM to Farah but that doesn't give me enough cash to upgrade Fonua to anyone decent so will have to play Katoa for the time being. I don't have anyone I want to cash out yet to fund my last WFB upgrade.

Mitchell or Marsters.

Fitzgibbon > Hoppa tentatively pencilled in

Worth disregarding Rd17 in the CTRs?

Im tossing up the same thing whether to bring Farah in now or Tapine or maybe RTS.

Just saw Hoppa at 524K.....could be worth a punt mate.

Fuck, I am already starting to second guess myself. Maybe I should cash out RFM to one of the new players named this week to upgrade Fonua. Farah looks to be a good pick-up though.

Farah joining the tigers and that bench has become a bit of a roadblock in future plans. Farah probably a keeper.

No Dugan, that's annoying

Holland and Martin both named - any indication on who will goal kick?

No Hodkinson for Manly means DCE likely to get goal kicking back

TPJ to Martin
Olive to Fainu

Good trades?
