Bateman is at a price where I think I would rather Tedesco, Crichton, Ponga over him at this stage.

Another player to keep in mind is Hess, he is losing cash FAST! Proven 45-50 point scorer and currently priced at 43 and losing more cash.

Adam Gee has ended up with a fractured shoulder. Has the MRC sent Whitehead to the judiciary for the contact with a referee ?

On what we've heard, Friend's got to go for me.

Radley being named on the bench last week suggested he was covering for Friend.

Even if Friend only misses one game, I don't want to take the risk that he comes back playing limited minutes for a few weeks. Same thing happened last year when he carried that injury for a month or so.

Bateman v Teddy is quite the conundrum. Especially with Burns out.

I don't own friend but given its happened twice now with the same shoulder, wouldn't want to run the risk of it happening again and laying a shite score. If it were me, id move him on.

People talking about Farah. He's now priced at about 62. I'm not sure he will average much more than that.
Well done if you got him, but don't think there's much value there now. Unless you think he can maintain a large attacking output

The Chooks won't risk anything with Friend, they need him fit and firing to have any hope of mounting a successful title defence.

Bumping Kbrom interest from page 51.

Is he likely to be a good pick up? Continues averaging 55ish, likely to make 150k with the upside that he 100% isn’t Shaun lane.

Was mentioned earlier but Stimson played the 80 minutes in QCup last week. If he doesn't pip KBrom for a starting role I think he'll at least take some minutes off him.

I see Stimson 60/Felise 80 minutes 2RF and KBrom going back into the middle and spending some time on the edge. I think this is what Bellyache had planned pre-season

How does a guy who averages 45, suddenly become a 25??

Surely when the team sorts its shit out he improves?

Was Stimson injures? Can’t see Stimson taking anyone’s spot based on trial form?

Ive pretty much ran with the same team for the first three weeks. Two 900+ scores and i was 4th overall. Struggle through to 720 last week and dropped down to 251st.
Time to do some serious trading over the next few weeks and pick up some of those guns who have fallen in price

Sounds crazy but if it's 3 weeks I have to hold him. I'm burning trades. They've all worked out (Lawrie, CNK, Rein, and Bird) but I can't afford to be trading Friend out. I'm thinking of bringing in Napa and Bateman which will sure up my FRF and get me a keeper/captain option. Edwards gets a stay of execution as I'd rather a 15 than 0.

Basically the same for me (except a bit lower in ranks, i had two low 900s and then a 734). First trades for the year today.

Unfortunately, need to make about 4.

Nice work!

I assume you are speaking about Edwards. I think the teams overall performance is not helping him. They haven't had much go forward. I reckon Kikau will bring back a lot of confidence within the team and provide that go forward and spark some second phase play (where Edwards will thrive). I am giving him two more weeks and if he doesn't go 45+ in those two weeks he is gone. Pending injury and TLT news my pre TLT trades are Mahoney > Crichton/Tedesco and Burns > Xerri (who has played two games this year for an average of 58 and 9.5 TB's a game)

Then future trades will be Gillett > Ponga and Edwards > Crichton/Tedesco

Surely one of you cheating scumming loopers would be able to do something with Burns/Garrick/Sivo/Rava?

KBrom also didn't play 80 this week. If he didn't have JS risk, he would have been a good shout. Oh well

Yep. Had some back problems in the pre-season. Trial form wasn't crash hot; however, Stimson has been groomed for this position over the last 36 months. KBrom has serviced us well for the last few weeks but I believe Stimson has that spot, although, Bellyache may make him work for it.
