On the NRL tipping front, I am 5 behind first place with 3 rounds left and need to make some ground! He has tipped Manly over Titans, Dragons over Tigers. Do you think it is worth taking the punt on Titans to beat Manly and Tigers to beat Dragons? Titans played for 75 minutes last week and were quite convincing but are the now deflated from the late defeat? Manly are 2 on the trot going for 3 but has all the Barratt off field drama affected them this week?
Dragons are looking to close out the season with a few wins after an abyssmal month of footy so they will want to put the heaters on but will no Widdop prove too much for them? Tigers need to win pretty much 3 from the last 3 to make the finals, will they crack under pressure or will they get it done?

My team with 2 trades and 107K

Cook
Fifita Taupau
Crichton Martin JTurbo
SJ Cleary
Aitken Marsters
Teddy Ponga Mitchell

Smith Arrow Farah Tolo

ARey Holland Clifford RedDot

Do I;

A) Trade Tolo to DCE and then next week trade ARey back to Tolo

or

B) Trade Holland to RTS then I'll have ARey as 19th man and can trade him if need be to Turbo or a forward around the same price?

B gives me better depth and a bit more flexibility for the last two weeks.  Even if Reynolds is out I'll have someone like Aitken as 18th man so it's not major, as I won't even need Reynolds.  A gives me DCE though but Holland as 19th man with no trades left after getting Tolo back in.

What do you think?  Getting RTS instead seems like the most sensible option but my opponents below me all have DCE.

I have bet on both those results. I'm not so confident in the Tigers with the Broncos win, but it is at Leichhardt. But Titans I would say confident not deflated and Manly without anyone to impress or play for.

Thanks bro.  Yeah it is indeed a sensible option. Means I can put Mitchell in my 13-17 and still have cover in all positions and lots of good coverage.  RTS against the Dogs this week and then the Panthers and Raiders at home so a great run.

Arrow, James, DCE, Jurbo and Turbo. Only missing Taupau. Will be thrilled if he has a stinker. *jinx*

I have Arrow, DCE, Jurbo, Turbo, Tapuau, Fainu.

What score do we think would make Fainu safe enough to not be leap frogged by Kikau
