Storm also named 2 more halves on the extended bench - Scott Drinkwater and Lachlan Lam

Lachlan Lam (son of Adrian) was a Roosters player at the start of the year. has he made a mid-year switch to the Storm or is it a different layer with the same name?

Drinkwater has played fb all season for easts. Been their best player from games ive seen

Ended up (so far) on this team for the round:

Smith(c)

Martin
Johnson, Lewis
Aitken, Holland
RTS, Brimson

McInnes

5 trades for the remaining rounds. Feel like it's gonna be tight.

Sua is a tricky one. Could easily be a late omission, ugh. Hoping I can hold though

with the S’ua news I might have to sell Ponga

Scott Drinkwater looks great in the QRL. Could be a gun in the making in a couple of years.

Adrian's son still appears in the Rorters team line up on their home page. Could just be a NRL.com howler

Anyone generous enough to give a geeze at my team and maybe give it a look from an outsiders POV. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Boys.

Sua Fainu Brimson TMM

TMM only clear sell this week but i need to do something with my WFB! I was laughing when i had Turbo Ponga and Fonua, everything was looking great. 3 weeks later and it is shambles

Maclean due back for the Cowboys RD 18 I think?? Is this good news for Tolo?

Pack would be
8.Scott
9.Granville
10.Maclean
11.Cooper
12.Hess
13.Tolo
14.Jensen
15.Bolton
16.Lowe
17.Hampton/Fensom

Jensen, Bolty, Maclean and Scott to share forward minutes
Lowe, Fensom, Tolo to share edge minutes?

Still going to sell Sua I think,think my final team is almost complete

Smith (McInnis)
Kikau
Martin
SJ, Milford (Lewis)
Holland, Scott
RTS, Brimson

Hoping for 500 and a small bump in rank.

Gambling on 506k being enough to single trade Brimson to Cook next week. AJ would need to score low 30s for this to happen, otherwise would have to burn another of my 3 remaining post-17 trades. Could guarantee getting Cook by cashing out to Luai rather than Lewis but with so few trades think would rather have a reserve who is playing and can fill in for a short injury rather than a non-player.

That could backfire because if Su'a does play he could easily score 45-50 so you'd be shooting yourself in the foot.

Been fuck all news from broncos training today since all the journos are covering the origin. Hopefully get some news re Sua by Thursday.

Kikau still needs to prove fitness via nrl.com

If he's in, I'll hold. If he's out, i'll trade to James.

As someone who likes to read between lines, opacic is named for redcliffe, which is odd. The only outside back in our 14 to 21 is staggs, but then i cant see who else would cover for Turpin, as i doubt he plays 80. Glenn could shift in to hooker i suppose.

Edit: ignore this. seems its a typo.

@white lightning that’s true but it allows me to bring in Aitken this week who is a final 17 player whereas Sua is not
