Pretty likely I'd say.

The other options are Josh Morris. Reliable, would do the job but Freddy may want to continue to invest in the future.

Jesse Ramien. On potential he is definitely an Origin quality player. Hasn't played like that this year though since he sees dick-all good ball on the right at the Knights. Up until last week, he'd almost be in by default.

Cotric was in Origin camp last year, Freddy rates him and he's somewhat familiar with the team. Played well against Souths albeit up against Ethan Lowe in the centres. Think he's a pretty good shot.

48 average last 3 low score 44. Not sure reason for poor scoring before that? Coming back from injury?

I'm not sure. But at his current price I'm happy to take a punt. He won't be in my 17 outside of round 12 so the risk is not too high

CNK and Sivo are both 'holds' I think. Any other options?

59k in the bank

Mahoney
Haas Fifita
Crichton Murray Taupau
Reynolds Milford
Nikora Xerri
CNK Ponga Tedesco

Twal Burr Rein Tolman

Young Sivo Deardon Borris

Borris will be back next week by all reports and is too low valued to trade out and has been ever since he has been out.

Burr to T'lololo seems like such an obvious option but how to fund it. CNK will eventually become Trbojevic or Tuivasa-Sheck in any case and I am not really having a net loss of R12 players.
I dont really see any other option apart from Sivo or CNK and I already have too many WFB.

Hiroti worth as cash out? 246k surely plays 12 with Gagai Origin and Burns not supposed to be back in time

I’m not sure what t is either. THe week before he had over 300km and this week with Roberts back I think he got around 150km big drop that’s the only reason why I’m leaving him. I traded out Fifita so what the hell do I know

I remember the last time I owned Surgess.

2017, he went on a streak of crap scores and was killing everyone who was holding him just one more week until he came good. It got so bad I actually used my last trade to get him out for Vaughan even though he wasn't injured.

Never owning him again.

Relying on a second rower for attacking stats is horrible for fantasy.

How would the All Blacks fanbase react if there was a player born in Australia and for whatever reason moved to NZ at age 10 (we're talking hypothetically here) and openly said he supports the Wallabies and grew up idolising (who's the most hated Wallaby on Langer levels? Gregan? Larkham? Burke? Eales?)

Ironically the most hated Wallaby is probably Quade Cooper... a kiwi

Loomer wrote:Hiroti worth as cash out? 246k surely plays 12 with Gagai Origin and Burns not supposed to be back in time

I actually think he could be a pretty good option. Near basement price, plays 12, but then possibly out thereafter - so has value as a loop.

Who are you looking at LB?

Ideally someone who plays Rd12 and should make a bit of money and help with scoring.

I just keep telling myself that a basepricer or close enough to it will appear next week and I can do a full cash out of Lawrie and get those Rd12 points

A) No Trades 491K

C) D.Brown > CS9 0K

Surgess (or someone around his price) would be good as that cash leftover should allow me to go Rein to CS9 or Farah after origin?
Players around that price that interest me:
Barnett - 80 minutes Barnett seems to be 45+ safe
Kikau - Meh. R12

A or D. Farah has proven he's scoring better than CS9 at this stage + you get 90k free out of it. I'm saying this after grabbing Smith myself a few weeks back. Farah looks like he'll continue to score better.

I don't see Surgess as a final 17 option.

Save your trades and reassess before origin?

Likely there is a r12 team looking like this:

Mahoney
Taupau Tolman
Taumalolo (c) JFH Lane
Reynolds Moses
Hiroti Kahu
Wighton CNK Sivo

Rein AFB Young Martin

Can throw in Mau, Niukore, Kikau, Surgess (yuk) etc

PS I still have not done any bye planning. Is it too late to start

Slim pickings. Maybe Hiroti?

Yeah, Cooper was the first to come to mind, but being hated because of where he was born and who he chose to play for (and also the knee to the head added more fuel), so wasn't really comparable to NSW levels of hate for Langer. I was curious though who out of the 4 I mentioned was most hated or if there's others since those guys were all class.

and I don't think anyone's grown up idolising Quade

What about Jesse Arthas at the Titans? Or is Gordon coming back an issue?

Nobody from that backline is making Origin lol but if he's back would he move to the centres or would Brimson/Arthars be benched?

Dagnabbit... everyone is right. I gonna let go of getting in T'lolololo in this week and just make no trades -- Burr for 60 this week

Only reason you’d sell a r12 player is to fund a trade towards an even better rd12 player. I’m ditching sivo to fund a tolo import. All my cows are rd 12 players/keepers or Xerri, who I have no other cover for.

If they don't pick him this year they might get away with it but next year he will be running the Roosters as the dominant half back. And if he is playing well and doesn't get picked then he might be tempted to go to court  for loss of earnings specially since he is been blocked for playing for Qld.

It's a blues jersey, not a participation trophy. NRL blocked his request NSWRL select the team, 2 different separate bodies. He couldn't take either to court. If he thinks he's that good and the selectors are wrong may be he should change religion and try his hand at boxing.

You're selling a Rd12 player that has scored +47 four times including a 70 and 72?
