Marty is logging big stats again of late. 160m+ in the last four games. Bit of a Matt Lodge resurgence.

*IGNORE MATCHUPS* but his next five games are a pretty good run.

Jeez, what a soft draw. Hope Turbo gets some more restings lol!

Talking myself into taking a punt on Marty I think. Don't need to decide today though.

I agree, you can hide him at FB or wider next to a very strong edge defender (Dragons won a premiership doing this with Soward/Scott). Just seems like the value in attack in having Walsh and RTS in the spine outweighs the defensive problems it creates.

Plus I would like to buy RTS for R17 because the cupboard is bare.

Last time Walsh played 6 he defended inside his centre. Makes Aitken an even better option

Has to be Watson right?

Watson back in his bench role where he averages 52 for the season. I have no concern for him at all. Understand if people are trading him to a top tier gun, but I'm happy to play him.

And AVO. People still hesitant must hate fantasy points.

Simo and CHN will be popular too. Simo is a strong washout plus the WFB cupboard is bare for R17. Then's there's probably a dozen PODish guys to wait and watch, where you might want 2-3

Oh right yeah forgot about Avo and he's in my team ha.

To those who don't have him, they would be paying a premium price but with the scoring form he's in I guess you'd be hard pressed to up a half's scoring in the CTR position.

Maybe I'm just worried people are going to mass trade him in and ruin him.

My thoughts too, I've decided to trade out Matterson over him

I have decided to wait on getting Fifita back in until after the byes.
Sitting on 8 rd17 players atm, with 8 trades left. (306k itb for the Fifi upgrade)

Looking at getting Verrills and Thompson in the next couple rounds

There are a lot of players in my team that I’m unsure about trading.

Guys like Watson, Tino, Turpin, Lodge even Moses and Fog. It’s a bit of a headache

Hear! Hear!

Kind of want Averillo but would then have a surplus of CTRs. Feel like he's a bit of a waste on the 14-17, even if he is scoring well

If I get him, I'll have: Averillo, Peachey, Bird and Manu as CTR otptions

Out of those, I'd probably flick one? Would keep Manu and Averillo for R17 obviously

Not gonna lie but Peachey is probably putting his hand up. Scores have been pretty average recently and he keeps being bailed by tries.

If you already have Peachey/Bird/Manu - would you bother with getting Averillo? Or if I did get Avo, would you flick anyone?

Watson has two scores under 43 both of which came while not playing in the middle rotation.....Jones has two scores of 42 and 43 while starting edge in the last few weeks. I reckon Watson is a better chance of scoring over 43.

For what its worth, im in a similiar canoe.

Im basing my decision on ownership in the teams above me. I cant see many people many being in a position to rush Fog and Moses out, so im happy to keep them.

Turpin i reckon is a hold unless a better option presents itself in the Hook, and you have the trades.

Watson, back to bench seems a concern but averages 50 from the bench sooo hard call.

Tino is a plodder in a trash team. Ssooooo

Watson will score 38, and will update to 52

What are people doing with May ?, I might trade to Simo.

Few headaches in the team this week - like most people it's who to shuffle on from the likes of Brailey, Watson and Laurie and who to bring in when there's so few standouts.

As much as I hate blindly relying on clicks, I think I'm at the point of desperation where it'll have to do...

TU: Matterson out
TD: Mahoney out

Matterson has been fairly meh, but god knows when Mahoney will be back - hopefully R18 as planned but even that's a way off.

If he was listed as just a HLF rather than CTR/HLF, would you have any hesitation?

Take back my earlier point on no season long red dots after seeing Timoko, Lussick and Campbell high on the trade in list

Is Matto to SJ too sideways?

Wow well that screams Walsh will play in the halves.. no way they'd name SOS in the ressie's if he was starting.

Suddenly the RTS -> Sj is likely to become Herbie -> SJ

I also note that if Coates is out, Herbie probably shifts to the wing again...
