If Vaughan gets Grade 2 for trip James will play. Will Vaughan get Grade 2?

Did you see Olive play last week & his pathetic defense. I don't think that will happen.

Just a throw away comment.. I mean Pay has been playing a goal kicking centre on the bench as a hooker all season, and dumps Martin quickly after looking at home at NRL level. God knows what he's going to do.

Just saw a tweet from Pete Badel that TPJ is out after pulling up sore in captains run. Hes usually on the mark FFS

If both Taupau and TPJ are out, im stuffed. Im still hoping Kearney will come to his senses and play Hiku. Fucking rep round aye

Who's got enough trades to punt someone for 2 weeks ??

If I reverse my Olive to Holland trade I have 12 so tempting.

The Vaughn news I didn't think if though. When would we know about him? Don't they just get fined now?

I could go Taupau to Tapine instead for a real risk.

Probably should just hold Taupau and play JFH though really if he is out.

Its already been confirmed that Vaughan only received a fine.

Kerrod Holland tweeted that Martin will be goal kicking.

Bugger! Surely Holland without goals is leaning towards spud territory

Its only 2 points less than he would score with the kicking

Last time he filled in at CTR 33pts in 40 mins. If he's a spud at centre will Hopoate be spud at FB? 20pt average price difference between the 2

NOPE. Holland is a trap for me. Steering clear of him. Best of luck to those that takes him on.

Just checked 2016 Holland 14 games at CTR. 32.5 avg after removing goal kick points

I might hold the trade and have a look at Holland this week.

On the upside with Martin given the goalkicking,  kind of a bit more reassurance he will keep his spot all year, one would think.

If you are trading Holland in it should be for a cashout and to play next week.
Other than that he should be an EMG only

He shouldn't be a regular scorer in your 17

That applies whether he goal kicks or not

I want SJ this week so need to get Holland. Hope he goes well

Would you say same about Hopoate at double the price?

That's being generous.

Cheers for the TPJ Goss - A 2 week rib injury is concerning, could end up longer knowing how they work. He'll be on the chopping block for me next week if he doesn't get named.

I hope TPJ is not out! Nothing concrete yet.
