I can do Tapine and Alvaro to any two players. Doesn't have to be Farah and Arrow. Farah looks like good value. Could do Taupau and Crichton.

I agree re Farah - great value who will score big.
I would still get Arrow over any other forward because he's the new Fensom but better. My rating is Arrow triple awesome, Taupau double awesome & Crichtion gets 1 awesome.

I much prefer the first option. Arrow is averaging more than Crichton even with his injury affected games and Taupau's big scores for the year are behind him IMO.

Thanks for comment. Yeah, I think i agree.

Will leave me with 2 trades and 270K ITB. Which means i can cover any injuries from here with the next best option.

Final team pending injuries.

Smith
Fifita, Arrow
Jurbo, Tolo, James
DCE, SJ
Croker, Aitken
Teddy, Cotric, Hiku (ponga)

Cook, Farah, McInnes, Martin

Lewis, Fainu, Perret, Ponga

Yes I have 5 hookers, don't tell me how to live my life!

Nope. I've never been so low in the open league whilst still having a rank that whilst isn't good isn't horrocious either.

I'm amazed you get time to sleep with 5 hookers haha. Nice team & hopefully Ponga is back soon.

Dragons at home against the Tigers. I would of thought Mann would be acceptable to play & could even bag a try. It should be an easy win for the Dragons. I also think their origin players will want to play as most of them will be buzzing (except Hunt) after beating Qland in origin 3 for a 3-0 series win.

Not everyone bags a meat pie against the Tigers.

And you're right Hunt is in 2015 Grand Final form at the moment.

Best edit I’ve seen in a while

How the fuck I gained ranks this weekend with SJ as captain I really don't know but I'll take it, a missed opportunity but never mind

Harris - Cook

Hmmh, I like seeing the DCE out option discussed on here. What this forum is great for.

I have SJ, DCE and Lewis.

If Lewis keeps averaging 50, while DCE is averaging the same (51.9 over the season) and currently well below, he can be changed.

I have 5 trades so I feel this is an acceptable trade, if it backfires I can upgrade Lewis.

Option A) 1 trade of DCE to Fitzgibbon or MBye
Option B) 2 trades of DCE + Su'a to McInnes or JTurbo + Fainu/Niukore

Any thoughts very much appreciated

I’d give it a week or two if it was me. I mean I have dce, so I’d happly see other trade him out. First law of fantasy, any player you trade out in a form slump instantly turns it around

Thanks @White Lightning
Yeah Rhys Martin it is,yes that is the selection headache that I have hence throwing up the DCE as a tradeout option. Am willing to give him this week at least but I could always use him instead of Isaako to bring Ponga back in? Or even Taupau instead? That way Martin would be in my 17 every week. What do you think everyone?

Manly expect D. Walker back this week which hopefully means DCE goes back to scoring 50's with Hodkinson on the bench. I think Isaako is the perfect ctr/wfb emg cover & he's starting to run up gun scores so if you ever need him to fill in he will produce. I have Holland in that role for me but I wish I had Isaako. Admittedly you a selection headache but it's a nice one to have. So for the balance of your team I would sell DCE to get Ponga. Are you not tempted to sell SJ instead of DCE to get Ponga. At least you have a couple of games until Ponga is gtg to see who is performing better SJ or DCE.

**CRONULLA SHARKS SIGN A BULLDOG**

The Cronulla Sharks have signed Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs centre Josh Morris on a 2 year deal for season 2019 and 2020!.

Isaako with a 3 game average of 42 with no tries, 32 discounting his mountain of conversions lately.

LET HIM PLAY FB BENNETT YOU OLD HACK!!!

Traitor haha.

@White Lightning yep that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking regarding Isaako. I only just traded SJ in last week haha so I don’t want to have to shift him straight away if I can help it haha. This week will tell me a lot and hopefully the direction I should take will be clearer

Can't wait for everyone to trade SJ out...

The run of injuries this season and people are trading out keepers. Well I never. Must have 10+ trades left

Will be stunned if the NRL accepts a 6-game ban for Jack Wighton. Expecting them to come over the top in next 48 hours and extend the ban to at least 8 weeks, potentially 10. Raiders are aware of likelihood that NRL will intervene

Funny joke on fb - Is SJ in witness protection because he was invisible.
