You could just not get Ponga & defer the trade because:
(a) RTS always scores well against the Titans
(b) Turbo just come off scoring 73 points
(c) Monitor Ponga this week to ensure he's injury free going forward & with a b/e of 63 this week his price won't balloon out
(d) Resident guru Milchow posted last week that Ponga averages 55 when Pearce is at hlf

I'm inclined to agree with you but Ponga is so awesome.

Probably wont be able to afford it anyway which leaves me with a sideways slight upgrade in the forwards to someone ?

What's the team mate let me take a look

Those looking at Peachy id be surprised if he plays FB, I can see DWZ back there, Whare to wing, Peach centre

What's this Garner kid like?? Worth downgrading Lewis to him and leaving two trades??

3 trades - 50K ITB

Played like a beast last week & stood out.

Very interesting. Good man R & T.

No worries, Did you listen to it?

I haven't yet but here it is:

EDIT - so in summary, Kearney is basically saying he hopes Tohu and Luke might be ready but they may not be. "a few hoops to jump through yet"

Not sure if that equates to 50-50 or more, or less. I'd be keeping a close eye on team sheets and late mail. Warrios are typically pretty good at ruling players out early if they know in advance...

Tough call but I like your thinking & at this point of the season calculated risks will pay off & you will gain ground. Can you use the loophole for Arrow & Fainu.

I have a full team playing again this week. Unfortunately, Mann is one of those players...

He's a good one. Gun player at nsw cup level and doesn't seem out of place at nrl level. Still needs to pass hia protocols this week.

I would keep Isaako there and hope he maintains his FB role where he should go well mate, I'd run the trade risk and go Maloney - $212 and upgrade Lodge to a GUN

Still after a FRF/2RF reserve. Not sure if it is worth burning a trade but could cop a 0 if Arrow is a late out. Hipgrave would cover both spots and give enough cash if I want to use another trade moving on Dufty

Hipgrave too many negatives so I'm not keen on him. I know you want a dpp but that 2fr Garner looks a real goer & is cheap.

Pick two out of Kikau, arrow, Martin, Fainu?

Did have a look at Garner. Not sure if it worth a trade if I'm not getting coverage in two positions. Will likely just sit tight on the trades and only use them for injury

Josh Dugan at least 2 wks from returning for the Sharks, has missed the past 8 wks after suffering a stress fracture to his lower leg. Was reportedly travelling well with rehab but suffered a setback. Some bones in the lower leg have decreased blood supply = longer healing time via nrl physio

Well he's living the dream i.e. getting paid very well for doing nothing. He's probably at the stage of his career where retirement is an option because his body can't handle it unfortunately.

Thinking of going McInnes captain,is that crazy?

@danseels1985 he just doesn't seem to get the attacking stats of Cook/Smith so not for me. Depends how desperate u are for a pod captain I guess, and if you are leaning that way i say throw all your eggs in one basket and chuck the C on SJ.

On nrl360 they're talking about $1m dollar players & lol Foran is on a $1m contract.
