    I just don't see teams copping 0s. There's not gonna be that many big injuries.

    Just my opinion.

    Please do not anger the fantasy gods haha. A few years ago I posted on the sportal forum that my team had only suffered 1 or 2 injuries & that round I got 3 major injuries to my team. I think 1 of the players was Fensom.

    To be honest, I don't really rate his potential as a pod. His ceiling isn't high enough to be worth the risk, solid for a player to push out consistent 50s, but very rarely does he go into 70s or anything. At this point of the game, I don't think its a good trade In. Unless youre replacing someone shithouse. Id say Surgess would be better. But I cant bring myself to use a 5th trade on bringing him in, after already using 4 on the spud so far.

    Thanks mate. Surgess was my first option, just looking at some POD's and can see what you are saying.

    Ugghh everyone of my proposed trade ideas last week which i didn't end up going with went huge

    Cook
    Taupau
    Fainu

    dropped a few hundred places to outside 500 now which is disappointing after clawing up ranks every week since the byes

    Arrow/Mbye/Mbye to Cook/Taupau or JTurbo?

    If I bypass Cook I can probably get both Kapow and JTurbo

    Are you sure you're OK without having Cook as captain option?
    Bellamy has shown his hand in resting Smith and Slater for the last 10-15mins of the Raiders game.

    Storm last few fixtures include the Eels and the Titans and then they finish with the Panthers at home.

    I was only watching the stats on the ap. Saw his minutes get stalled at 29 just after he started his second stint, but I turned the TV on right at the end and he was playing. Ended up playing 35 min. Im 99% sure thats how it went down. Sting 1 was ~25 min. 4 min into stint two it sounds like he copped a knock, but then he played the last 6 min.

    Someone else will confirm one way or the other I hope.

    I'd love to see how he ranks for tackles per minute - his appears to be crazy high, hence why his minutes are typically not much more than 40-45 I guess.

    Last trade, 66k itb.

    Arrow to Crichton

    OR

    Cody to Tolman to give better forward depth, possibly play Tolman in 17 ahead of Arrow

    OR

    Stay put, save trade. Possibly bring Lewis into 17 for Arrow

    Hoooooold! Option C easy. Plenty of time for Arrow to sort his injury out and return to gun numbers. And spending your last trade on Tolman? Vomit

    Option A:Trade Arrow to Ponga and move Isaako to EMGs
    Option B: Hold the trade and run with Arrow as 18th man but have to play Isaako in my 17
    Only have 2 trades left

    Yep, you got it right.
    His second stint lasted only a minute or two before he went off for a HIA, returning for the final 3 or 4 minutes.
    Apparently he left the ground in a moon boot, not that that means much.

    It’s a bit hard to tell but I think he’s been playing injured most of the season, but the last few weeks it appears to be worse. He got smashed inside the first minute and really seemed to struggle after that.
    I’m not going to trade him, but think I’ll bench him until he gets over it.
