What is your team?
If I remember right you have a good rank with a reasonable amount of trades left. And a reasonably stacked forward pack already?

If that is the case, if you can get a gun CTR in this round it would be a big help.

Everyone already has good forwards now, and people are leaving players like Surgess out of their 17. So other than trying to fluke a POD, the best way to make up ground will be in the CTRs, where lots of teams are still pretty weak.

I think Marsters/Mitchell probably the best pair

Leilua, Ramien, Aitken, Takarainga, Hopoate all have potential as well. I'd back all of them to outscore Tuala.

The ctr I'm most interested in buying is GI but it will have to wait until origin 3 but there's always a good chance he'll be rested after origin 3 so he's probably a buy at about round 19. I'll have to play Tuala in the mean time but points wise having to play Tuala will probably set my scores back.

Fitz > TPJ

Thoughts on those trades guys?
Or is TPJ not worth the tradein now?

TPJ is interesting. Certainly I wouldn't trade him out if I had him.

I think there is a chance he might stay with a big minute edge role all season. Someone mentioned recently Gillett is a fair way away, in which case TPJ makes a case for being a good value trade in.

As a cashout who plays R17 he might provide good value.

As a regular scorer in your team he is not worth it

No trades this week feels.. odd. I haven't done no trades since the beginning of the season.

Yeah, I remember that.  I broke my right ankle in 2012 and got the moon boot for 4 weeks after 4 weeks of the cast, you are tougher than me but I think we already knew that

In regards the carbs, since I got home I have thrown back a large pack of salt and vinegar, a full block of Cadbury Snack bar one line, and 2 double caramel Magnum's!  Just wallowing in self pity, hopefully the Doc gives me some of the good stuff tomorrow

Let me know if you want some good shit....

you posted this at 02:29 AM so I'm assuming it's all gone by now

Unconfirmed reports Ponga could be rested mate.

Anyone hanging onto Matterson?

How long is Mau out for with the fractured cheekbone ?

I really hope this is just a rumour. I would have M. Wright covering for him in this case.

Im keeping a brave face over here, atleast i can go Mau to anyone. Who should that be .. i think TPJ stays and Mcinnes comes in.

Yeah forwards are pretty set mate like most.

Fifita, Arrow, Surgess, Kikau
Lolo, Harris, Martin, TPJ, WGraham.

So Fitz becoming TPJ allows me to bring in Croker as my second CTR to partner Aitken.

Or a could bring in BHunt and really leave my fate in the hands of the fantasy lords.

So loathe to waste another trade on my centres. Was quite happy rolling with Fonua indefinitely. Nervous to trade in Holland but might have to because the alternative is playing Wright

Buckley's chance Hiku won't play? I'm calling Kearney's bluff.

I'm with you. I know Hiku is no world beater, but Gelling is no Hiku.

I might take a punt on TPJ.

Just feels like I should be bringing in two guns this week. If TPJ keeps that edge spot he could quite well be a gun.

Can any Broncos fans offer some insight?

Alright boys, its now become Fonua out and in comes Lafai to stay, and Mau can become anyone, but im undecided on either Mcinnes or Tapine. Tapine in gives some coin to upgrade elsewhere, but the urge to get Mcinnes will remain afterwards anyway. Thinking if Gregor's does rest some of the Dragons rep players then Mcinnes could be in for some solid weeks, moreso if thats possible.

People shouldn't get Tapine.

Cheers and thanks.
