Rabbit’s RoundupNo trades. That’s right. The wily old Rabbit is going to bank a couple more for a rainy day before bye time. There’s no one that needs to come in urgently.
Dearden - he’ll be cheap next week no matter what he scores. I wouldn’t like to be lacing up for my debut against the monsterous Rabbitoh pack. Also, we don’t know what impact Niko going to Warriors will have on CHT, so he could be an easy swap for Dearden.
Lomax - ditto, except he won’t have the monstrous Rabbitoh pack violating him. I think he ends up back in the wing and Aitken will be back.
Flanagan - ditto, but add in he’s on limited time barring another injury somewhere. SJ is only out for a few weeks.
I just don’t see a real urgent trade in, or a must have cow. Waddell might play 12, but I’d rather watch what happens with AFB back and possible Manly changes. If he nabs a starting spot I’ll consider a late trade. Maybe Rava gone, but even he will make a bit of cash going forward. I’ve still got Sivo. I’m going to play him again. Nothing urgent. Even Garrick is ticking over OK. Fuck, even Horsey’s Getting another run
Round 12 - I’ve got 8 now and am in no hurry this year to get everyone in. It killed me last year and the year before. Even if I did just 3 trades in R12, that’s 11 players. That’ll do. I’ll have a bit of a look-see beforehand though. If I bought in Reynolds now, what’s to say he doesn’t get injured prior (which wouldn’t surprise anyone) or jag an origin spot? R12 targets for me are Kikau, Reyno, Mahoney, maybe Waddell, and I’ll bring Burns back in.
Captain - I bought Cook for one reason. A set and forget captain. He’s averaging 62 and playing like shit. When he puts it together, which he will when it matters...maybe tonight......he’ll score huge. And he’ll do it a few times over the year. The trouble with playing captain’s roulette is that when you switch every week, you might hit big occasionally, but you could also monumentally fail. More often than not. Some people actually captained Moses last week
, based upon one good game. No set and forget captain. Just rookie stuff. At this time of the year, that’s just silly. Fifi, Bateman, Nikora, Ponga and others are all available in my team, but I won’t captain them. I have no problem captaining Fifi and he is great player and scorer, but it’s not what I got him for. I’m also confident Cook will end up with more points over the season. All hail Captain Cook. I bought him for a reason and of I’m wrong, well fuck it.
That’s it. Carry on troopers. Good luck over the weekend and up the mighty Bunnies. Souths by 30
and fuck the Bonzos.
