What do you think Moylan will score?

Definitely 45+. Moylan is in great form atm. I won't get him this week because getting in meant selling Holland & moving Burns to the ctr's from wfb & now Burns is locked but if he keeps up his scoring I'll be getting him next week if I don't have other issues. In fact SJ owners I believe didn't consider the Moylan effect. Moylan is playing the SJ role i.e. SJ is passing the ball out the back to Moylan & he doing all the running/attacking & creating all the play & SJ is now just a distributor.

Moylan will struggle to hit 20, going to have a barry. I can feel it in my loins.

Love a feel good story and Knight been building nicely after some dire seasons! Great to see!

It’s additions like Griffin last year, Glasby  this year, glue players to go with the superstars like Ponga, Pearce

Signing top 2 prop in the world in klemmer helps as well mind

I've got a bunch of die-hard Knights fans at my workplace. They seem to feel pretty good atm

Final 17:

Cook
Fifita Taupau
Chricton Jurbo Taumololo
Cleary ?
JBateman ?
Teddy Turbo ?

Smith, Surgess, Arrow, NBrown

I'm not sure really.

Fifita and Taumalolo probably two givens.

I have a rough idea what I'm aiming for but this will very quickly change as scoring/roles firm up and I get a better idea of what cash I'll have.

I'm more sure of who wont be in my team. Process of elimination I think

You don't think that's going to change week by week. I can't see SJ settling for a distributor role

I'd bet my avatar he goes under 50.

I'd have Jake Friend as the 2nd hooker instead of C. Smith in my final 17. It's not because Friend scored 92 last week but because in that game he did his usual 50+ tackles but more importantly he played 80 minutes & he showed & executed attacking intent & surprised me with his speed. He was affected in 2018 by his sternum injury but he had surgery & he is now well over it. I will be buying him this week (I sold Ofa to Lawrie so I have the cash) but I'm still debating who goes Holland or Mahoney but I'm leaning towards selling Mahoney because I don't think he'll play 80 minutes for a while & as Rabbit said....Mahoney is a hia waiting to happen. Rabbit is a genius.

For next week
My likely trade ins : Burns & Sele
My likely trade outs: Edwards & Kerr

the week after I should have enough coin to go
Hughes to Teddy

Kikau is apparently back next week so Sele will be back on the bench but he still will score mainly 30's with the occasional 40's score off the bench due to his work rate. I own Sele but just keep an eye out for any Sele information.

Panthers captains run should be interesting. HIA protocol may rule Yeo out

Keep dreaming mate, but Bird is still on my list of guys to look at. The only way I get him though is a Holland downgrade. So it probably won't happen.

Ha i don't have him either! You've just got to be careful with those reverse shenanigans.

I just need a bottom dollar cash cow for my nprs, currently Sele looks the goods. But who knows?Xerri might be playing next week if the glassman goes down

I'm hoping Edwards shows this week why I chose him to start with

Chicks Dig It wrote:Any ideas on what i should do with Glasby?
I know he was never a ppm guy but thought he was going to get more than the 43min he got. Without that try he scored last week he would have got around 28pts.

Ive only got 15k spare and dont have any frf backup other that Blawrie whos locked into my reserves. So id have to get another frf around the same price if i traded.
Was looking at Bunty Afoa, played 49min got 48 points. Starting prop, priced early 30's.

Am i chasing 1 weeks scores or should i play wait and see?

No trade advice at the moment but just wanted to remind everyone that you should have those that play first in your 13 and the later game players as reserves (Lawrie and any other dragons/rabbits starting Glasby and later games bench). All score the same but gives you way more flexibility for either trades or a player pulling out late on you

Had a respiratory problem and shortness of breath on the field. He came back on and played out the game. So at this stage he is fine, curious about what caused it though.

Sideline reporter said he told her he had the flu

Panthers duo Isaah Yeo and Hame Sele have been cleared to play against the Knights on Saturday

Bellamy said on Thursday that forward Joe Stimson was making good progress with a back injury and is close to a comeback.

Sele. You are a champion bluetige you beautiful blue tiger.

Yeo shouldnt be allowed to play, a concussion that bad should be at least an automatic week out resting (no contact training either). The NRL need to do more post concussion. Nicholls was knocked out in pre-season and then again within 2 weeks in the first round, still came out and played rd2. 2 concussions in 3 weeks should be an automatic 2-4 week break.
