Also expect to see Matt Dufty take to the field sometime in the first half this week with Cameron McInnes moving to lock, Gareth Widdop into the halves and Ben Hunt to hooker. Josh Kerr is confirmed to make NRL debut from the bench with Paul McGregor saying he will manage his stints. Zac Lomax and Mitchell Allgood remain part of the 19 man squad with Reece Robson and Jonus Pearson dropping out of squad 24 hours before kick off.
    I know it was discussed earlier, but the whole in game spine changes are crazy. 

    Maybe this one pays off? 
    Maybe a new paradigm from Mary?
    Maybe not.

    Yeah agree, definitely skating on thin ice with that attempt.

    Hi all,
    Just thought I'd share my team before Round 2 commences.
    Only trade this week is Garrick to Lawrie
    Is there any glaring trades/problems with the team.
    Team is:
    Cook
    Fif Marty
    Arrow Murray Lane
    Morgan Keighran
    Holland Bird
    Burns CNK Edwards

    Capewell Nikora Garner Lawrie
    Sele Brown Rava Kahu

    Cheers.

    @churg
    Could go Kahu > Host if you’d like to potentially make more $ in the long run and quicker. Other than that, solid team

    Vaughan and JGraham in the rotation with Kerr and either Latimore/Allgood look set for big minutes. Will be funny to watch there pack if Kerr, Allgood and McInnes are their props and lock in the middle part of the game.

    Lawrie will sit for 30 and probably come back on with 20 to go playing 50 minutes.


    That's how I read it as well.

    I agree. He would be better having Robson who is highly rated by Dragons fans on the bench if he wants to shift Mcinnes to lock. At least you're not messing with the halves and fullback.

    It's a dumb move they're making to justify having Norman there a year early. Maybe the combinations work better as they get more game time but otherwise it's just an on field clusterfuck at the moment.

    I think I’m going no trades this week. I wanted Bateman but only way I can get him is if I bin one of Arrow and Holland, and I don’t want to do that yet.

    Could do Sele to Lawrie but I think they’re all in the same boat regarding JS and minutes. May aswell bank the trade for now

    Looks good to me. Good trade. Holland the only one staring at me as a possible trade but holding is fine. I personally would move capewell to centre, holland to emergencies and promote Brown to the 17. Having Holland in the emergencies is fine. It's no different to having 200k in the bank (which plenty of people are prepared to do) without actually pulling the trigger on a trade.

    That's how I see it this week too. Next week with Sims back not so sure. Either way think I'm set with brining Lawrie in.

    Absolutely hilarious that the Dragons will move their entire spine just to bring Dufty on.

    Didn’t know why it hasn’t crossed my mind but what’s wrong with Sivo > Lawrie?

    The Tigers used to rearrange their team to move Jordan Rankin from wing to hooker mid game. It didn't work well (but I guess it was no worse than whatever else the Tigers have tried, so there is that)

    Careful what you say mate, wouldn't want to trip over a baseball bat heading into your frisbee final.

    TBH I just couldn't be stuffed looking up how to spell his name.

    Host v Lawrie v Mikaele - only way to get Lawrie is by trading Holland (which i still am considering). I just dont like all the ??? over it. Garrick is out no matter what.

    I did'nt actually watch the Dragons game last week. Was host/lawrie any good

    Personally, i am still undecided on whether to make Holland - Bateman or Kahu - Bird this week.

    Either Bateman will score 40s and disappoint me, or scores 60s and I'll regret not having him. Difficult choices

    It's just another day in the land of Fantasy
    Who do i trade in... Host or Lawrie?
    Round 2 is just a few hours away
    and Mark Geyer is still watching his daughter get rammed by Tyrone May
    Everyone is scrambling and everyone is rambling
    this is the week to be gambling
    on a player who killed it for one game
    or another filling in for a nut that went lame
    All will be repeated before round 3

    Didn't the knights do it as well? Gidley moving from fullback to hooker?
