Tolo is one I would love to leave out possibly for a POD but he can go large at the flick of a switch and really is a must have come round 12. I think if you are serious about bye rounds, you can't ignore him.

Is Xerri ready to be traded out? He looks like a gun on the field but hasnt been scoring as well as he looks. Do we think he continues this trend? Or will he gun it once SJ returns next to him?
I am also considering Ash Taylor as a sneaky pick from now until round 13, Has found some form after getting over injuries. With a BE of 7 and a 2 game avg of 50, the Titans next 3 games are Bulldogs, Sea Eagles and Cowboys.
Anyone have any thoughts on these points?

Whoa - that's beautiful language for a silly game!
Your trades seem good to me, and there's plenty of others who've been bringing in ARey/RTS without hesitation.
Its all good - don't sweat it.

The only problem is he's more of a cash out then a cash cow due to the fact he's probably going to be bumped back to bench when Hughes returns. You have to bank on him getting FB spot for an extended period (with Drinkwater also coming back in around 5 weeks). Like someone wrote before it's like Ponga in 2017

I think Xerri will be better with SJ back. Flanagan doesn't get much ball and tends to turn back inside when he does. Anyway, I'm playing Xerri for a while (until Bateman and/or Burns are back, I suppose).
Ash Taylor.. personally, I don't see the appeal. He doesn't run the footy enough imo. Don't let that discourage you, if you're keen though.

Agree on Xerri. I'm playing him - he'll nab a run of 40s soon (he needs some early ball). I only have Lomax or Garrick as alternatives anyway (yuk) and I'm not wasting trades on centres until Bateman comes back.

I've been trying to ignore Taumalolo - not sure why tbh. I held off last week (went Smith) and have been looking at alternatives this week. Gut call at this point.
Saying that, I'll probably just bring him in as a safe option. No need to do anything silly (yet........)

I'm definitely team Tolo over team Taupau. Although this week I'm seriously considering bringing in both, I can't help but get the urge to bring in Tolo and a gun hooker even without them playing r12

Can you grab Lolo for Lawrie instead of Morgan to Arey? That gives you 2 more rd 12 keepers in Lolo and RTS and gives you some more time to see which way Fittler is going to with the halves for SOO.Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:Bump - can’t anyone help me fix my rabble?
Team is:
Farah
Tolman Fifita
Arrow Murray Tapau
Morgan Pearce
Nikora Burns
CNK Ponga Hughes
Mahoney Haas Rein Lawrie
Carty CHT Lomax Xerri
and 369k itb
Planned trades were morgan to ARey and Hughes to RTS.
Could do Teddy over RTS due to BE's but thought RTS would have 1-2 more games over teddy as I see Robbo resting his origin players at least once each over the series. I'm going horribly in H2H despite being the top scorer in my league and doing ok overall (1700s) haha so maybe I just take teddy and ignore overall all together?
Is ARey for origin just heresay? I'd look elsewhere without doubt if he was likely to play origin. Cleary not playing origin would have him in my side.
I could just go all out cash generation but the thing that stopped me getting hudson young last week was JS with tapine likely back soon?
Hopefully burns is back this week

I'm surprised no one has mentioned selling A. Fifita because I am for the following reasons:
(1) the type of injury he's carrying means he can play but there's a big risk he could go down at any time during the game & another 12 point game is a possibility.
(2) he doesn't play round 12.
(3) the emergence of Braden Hamlin-Uele means Fifita doesn't have to play big minutes or could even be rested & not play.
(4) A. Fifita has a b/e of 93 so he'll lose a tonne of cash so you could sell him now & re-buy him at a much cheaper price in round 13.
(5) I've never worried about the "never sell a keeper" rule & last year when N. Brown got injured I sold him straight away & got in a 50+ scoring player & my team scores/rank benefited while those that kept N. Brown had to play a 35-40 point player.
(6) with the 21 man squads imo you can't carry injured guns like you use to with the 25 man squads.
Thoughts & thanks.

Atm I have Burns in the loop for Xerri and Lomax so keeping Xerri isnt a necessity. But if you think he gains some form then ill try and find a tradeout somewhere else. I have held Garner the past few rounds and not sure what ill do if he is named to start. But if hes on the bench or out all together then he can go .
I am only looking at A.Taylor for a kinda mid priced cash cow who also plays RD12. Definitely not a keeper yet. Will be pondering this all week lol.

Wondering if Morgan to Wighton is worth it - Morgan running up and down on the same spot but not sure if it’s more prudent to save a trade

This is an interesting point, as a non Taupau owner this intrigues me. But Fifi was injured last time to come back with a try and then go on a tear... he's hard to doubt

Great advice mate. Morgan's score at the weekend annoyed me but holding him another week or 2 wouldn't be a bad idea at all to get more of a read on the origin halves situation.
Lawrie is pretty well maxed out and surely morgan is due a decent score! sin binning didn't help at all
I'll try and get a read on tapine's return to see if young or martin are worth the gamble for cash to go gun cow the next 2 weeks instead of gun gun this week
Thanks mate

I'm running with Nikora/Capewell at the moment, Xerri is in my EMG for cover. I probably trade him out just before rd 12 to make up extra numbersmy tv broke wrote:

I’m actually thinking along the same lines. One week I could endure, but this is now reoccurring..... hammies and fascia are notorious for hanging around. If he hadn’t gone down last week, I wouldn’t have considered it. Plus he’s such a large frame to be carrying any leg injury. I think I’m punting him. Only because of the nature of the injury.
