Had a quick look at the overall structure of your team and that money ITB from Bird would still leave you a tad short of a keeper if say you're getting rid of a mid-ranger (e.g. Tolman to DCE) so I think I'd remove Brown in your case

Prices will be different come post RD12 when I'll look at moving Tolman on.

Two options I’m considering

Bird > Haas
Macca > cook

Or
Bird>haas
Macca>dce

The second option means tinkering a bit with bench.

Option 1 Leaves me

Cook
Fifita, Vaughan
Murray, arrow, Garner
Morgan, cht
Bateman, Nikora
Cnk, rts, Ponga

Lawrie, rein, Mahoney, carty

Haas, sivo, Rava, Mikaele.

Yes, he's signed for my hometown team, Castleford Tigers. They have needed a centre all season. I know he's not a world beater but he should go well in Super League. The last two NRL players Cas signed have done OK - Ben Roberts and Jesse Sene-Lafao.

My trades this week are likely to be:

Bird > Haas
Gillet > Twal

That's an unreal DP

Want to trade Bird and Brown for Twal and Haas.

But really should focus on one of Taupau, Arey, Surgess, James. Could also grab Teddy, pushing Ponga to the halves... Round 12 is going to be rough this year.

Poor Titans can't take a trick with their spine.

Might seem silly, but would you bring in Cook, Smith or x player? I’m trading out Yeo and Bird which will leave me with 1.2M. Team WILL look like..

Cook
Fifi Taupau
Murray Gillett Garner
Morgan CHT
Nikora Bateman
Hughes CNK Elliot
Macca Rein McLean Haas
Host Salmon Allan Burns

A cracker! @liverpool_bulldog

. @GCTitans half Ash Taylor confirms to @NRLcom that he has a minor ACL strain. Hopeful of playing Sunday but been told it could be 1-3 weeks - Tony Webeck

What's the latest on Vaughan and Fifita?

And Arrow

Cheers mate.

Nothing particularly new, but I have all 3 too.

Vaughan - Was keen to come back on vs. Dogs, but no point with that scoreline.

From NRL.com -
Vaughan suffered the injury in Sunday's defeat of Canterbury but the NSW Origin front-rower told NRL.com he was expecting to be fit for the clash with the in-form Sea Eagles.

"The ankle is good," Vaughan said. "I have just been icing it last night and will get some scans but hopefully it is sweet."

Arrow - Nothing mentioned in the casualty ward, but devoted several paragraphs to Ash Taylor. No news is good news imo.

Fifita - Stormtrooper posted this a short time ago

"The Sharks face Penrith on Thursday night in what Morris described a 'massive game' for both clubs after slow starts to the 2019 campaign.
He ruled Fifita out of the Round 6 clash but is hopeful skipper Paul Gallen will be available after almost playing against the Roosters."

EDIT: Mind you this was 2 days ago.

Playing 1st game, so options to replace him are all open.

Tough choice but has to be the Clock i think this year i think if you are tossing up between the two. Rapa just looks like he might struggle to get the same amount of ball with Bateman, CNK and even sometimes Wighton getting their hands to the ball first.

@Welshy here you go then, this should suit you.

Since the big man got off the mark this week:

*Coughs*
I'll answer your question @Welshy, but first....

Thank you mate! Fifita a hold for me this week then Lawrie and Haas to hopefully get the job done! Hopefully Lawrie plays those sort of minutes again

Hmm that's a good point! Thanks man

Mate, if your holding a cash cow until round 12 your doing it wrong. Those you mentioned should be traded 2-3 weeks after a big score

Chad has a future in the media. Articulate, gets his message across clearly.

Being such a Friz fan i thought you would have recognised the bloke he has as a poster of up on his wall, so that Tyson can literally look up to him each day.

Didn't realise you were originally a Yorkshireman. Cheyse will do a great job for Cas.
