I'm calling quits on Garner, Wolfie. He is getting injured too often and now not in the run on team.

Garner to Kikau and Bird to Lomax gives me $283K in the war chest for a later Lawrie uprade.

You can squeeze 15k out of bird this round. The way birdy runs sideways, he marking into keepers/18th territory. Just wished he had WFB DPP

I'm tempted by a Bateman (c) over Cook (c) this week but it kinda feels reactionary due to Cook being the lowest scorer of my captain options in the last 2 weeks. Anyone with Cook avoiding captain as well

He scored 53 and 48 last year against the broncos.

The Storm was a slightly different team last season and Fifita might do ok, but I'm putting my money on Master Bateman against the panthers this round

vs Kikau

I think Fifita will still score well against the storm even if he performed poorly against them last year, gonna stick the Captaincy on him and see where it leads.

Good trades.  Kikau could be a great POD.

I think I have to do the same mate.  Might do the Garner to Waddell and Macca to CS9 trade.

That was my problem in the past, hanging onto to middies for their 35 points and getting nowhere.  Need to be more agressive I thinkto try and increase rankings.  Get all the keepers in now.

Yeah, I usually fret about Origin but bugger it this season. I am getting round 12 guns in and round 16 I will write off. I want Lolo, Tapau and Reynolds and after that ......

I reckon Arrow is a certainty to get injured or exhausted from Origin duties. He may have to go as well. Captaining Bateman for the first time after running out of patience with Cookie, sorry guys, you know what will happen.

Couple of players i've gone cold on.

Farah
Aekins
Herbert
Possibly waddell

Flanno over Dearden because Flanno more likely to be involved with kick game paired with Chad over Dearden with Milf?

Anyone get burning by bringing in Whitbread last 2 weeks?

I'd say yes to that statement but you'd think Dearden has the better long term JS with SJ only out for around 4 weeks apparently (even though he is probably injury prone) and if Nikorima leaves Dearden will have pretty good JS (besides threat from O'Sullivan if he fails to perform)

Interesting that he played more mins than King in the last two games but King named ahead of him

Averaging 50 and plays round 12. Cheaper than other options, but I'm thinking I should keep some bank to sort out CHT when he gets dropped for Niko.

Seems like a logical upgrade for Lawrie to me. His price isnt out of reach yet. Lawrie's probably good for one more week but im contemplating jumping off early to bring in Rein.

Yea but Flanno already with a decent score on the board all with pretty much base stats, although his price over Dearden another reason I think I'd rather the Donkey Dearden. I'd usually go for the longer term prospect anyway, but got a feeling Flanno will go well

Brennan isn't the cleverest in all honesty, That bench looks good again for Arrow, if he keeps getting these big minutes I'm expecting his monster games to return pretty soon.

over 50 in pretty much base last week and robbed of a TS

Paying him $600k and saying he'll be better in defence and more of a presence on the field than SJ was for the Warriors has to be the dumbest shit I've read all season.

Praise be someone agrees! Absolute drivel

He'll just crab past him

Garner to Mahoney a bit silly? Other options I've narrowed down are Arey and Taupau.

How long is Taufua out for? Any love for Miski?

I'm worried Mahoney is going to break down at some point. 70 tackles in a match without injury can't be sustainable week after week for the little guy.
