Any other ideas for my SC team?
My plan is Widdop to nuffie, freeing money to Isaako to Holmes, but that means I'll have Aitken as last reserve. Is there a better idea? Just want to win my H2H!  I have 3 trades left, but only $800

Cook  CS
Kikau  Taupau  Fifita Ogden
Martin  J Trbo  Crichton  D Fifita Taumalolo  Vuna
Cleary Lewis
Johnson  Widdop
Mitchell  Ferguson  Isaako  Vunivalu  Aitken Dennis  Lomax
T Trbo Tedesco

Any brilliant ideas, anyone?

@Verbal Kint

This is my team if I go with option A:

Cook
Fifita James
Jurbo Brown Martin
SJ ARey
Mitchell Aitken
Tedesco Ponga Turbo

Smith
McInnes
Farah
Arrow

Taumalolo
Isaako
Lewis
Hetherington

Will Griffin leaving negatively affect Panthers anyone think??

They won last week without him after the week they had, so they should be fine moving forward.

He left before last game, and they didn't play any different to the way they did the two weeks before that.

In all seriousness, with a week or two for the dust to settle, I think not. I reckon they'll improve into the finals.

To hell with it I'm taking the punt on Cleary. No guts no glory

Who you booting for him?

I've been tossing up grabbing him. Would have to be for Milford or Reynolds. Milford just a bit flat lately, and Reynolds had some sort of injury last week (no idea if he's all good now, or what).

The mysterious Reynolds injury has me worried too. Would love to punt him for DCE. How many trades do you have to think about punting ARey or Milf?

I want Cleary but can only get rid of Farah and yeah Farah that's it.

Ive only got two trades.. but tempted to use one.

Little fearful of a few blokes getting a rest in round 25.

Got lolo on the pine this week.

So is Reynolds injured and that caused a shift in the odds? I think I've missed something

I bought him for Arrow the week Arrow bounced back

Arey injured? Say what now? I guess I'm playing SJ regardless

Same situation. I'm looping him but if I keep him and he bomb tonight, I'll turn Holland into Hayne/RTS or Tolo into DCE/Turbo and then use my last trade next week to get Tolo back.

I don't see too many players getting a rest but you are probably right, there will more than likely be a couple at least.

I need to try and make up 218pts in 3 rounds to catch the leader of the raiders league, so at the risk of my overall rank slipping I'm thinking it's time to take a punt on a POD captain this week that he doesn't have in his team.
Would would you guys put the C on out of:

Arrow
Hess
Mitchell
RTS

I'm thinking RTS.


Or have I just gone mad? Lol

News is Gurgess might not play but for odds to sway that much seems it doesn't seem like that news would cause that much shift in the odds.

Apparently, Reynolds hurt himself near the end of the game when Walker started doing all the kicking. been no news so we are all just putting two and two together.

Who knows mate. Him or Mitchell could go huge. You know one thing for sure it will go either way, gain ranks or lose ranks. RTS been looking good.
