haha! I shouldn't laugh I also support a poor Newcastle team

From what I can gather Sutto is gone for a few months ( torn pec ), pretty sure Turner is fine ( scans precautionary due to past history ) and pretty sure he got credited one of Suttos missed tackles, AREy has scans today.
If Arey is gone for a few games and as a Seggy/ JNiko owner is it worth a switch and bring in C Walker???

Sorry also own AREY.

So i'm thinking Seggy out this week and move JNiko up into the vacant hooker spot, his scores seem to be a decent stop gap, and perhaps bring in another half eg Walker/Moses or one of the doggies.

I'm 553 with C Smith (C) and L Ah Mau to come..

So trade targets this week apart from the obvious high scorers this week:

P Carter (main target for me this week)
T Randell (will 80 mins continue with Levi surely to come back at some stage)
Garvey maybe
Zane Musgrove (don't see his role changing for the next 4-5 weeks due to Sutton injury)
Kyle Turner (not for me)
Cody Walker (already have in my team so happy with that decision at least)
Gavet maybe (not for me with Vete and Lao hanging around)

584 with Captain Smith and Ah Mau to come so hoping for around 750. Ah Mau better have a big game because he's on the chopping block to fund the purchase of Carter and Randell maybe.

Does anyone think that Ash Taylor will be a bit of a dud this year? In a convincing win (which won't be often for the titans) with two try assists he only scored 22 points, will miss plenty of tackles and didn't really get the chance to do any ballplaying. No kick metres (surprisingly) and with his backs won't get many try assists and doesn't appear able to break tackles like the other cow halves.

Roosters v Rabbitohs changes:


Titans v Knights changes:

If Lichaa is out for 5+ weeks then Garvey is coming into my side for Segeyaro.

Then who comes in for Lichaa lol?

Oh wait you dont have Lichaa, my apologies

Well that was a balls up haha. 536 with Smith (c) & Slater to play.

My trades this week probably are - Henry to Carter & Aubs or Ferguson to J. Trbo or Ma'u

It has indeed. At least you're a touch better off than me - 565 with Ah Mau and Mann to come. Ouch.

Well looks like Jacob Saifiti,s stay was short lived, either he or Whitehead will make way for Carter this week.

I swapped Rochow out for Turner last second just so I could free up enough money for peats. And then Rochow racks up 51 points

So far I've dodged all major injuries other than Henry and losing a cow first round doesn't really count.

who you start with as hookers mate? Smith and Peats?

So are Carter and Walker definite ins this week? If so would you prioritise their inclusion over sorting out two long term injuries (Lichaa and Seggy)?

Brigning in Walker will allow me to move JNiko into the Hooker spot so at least ill have a starting hooker and the cash to upgrade Leuluai or Saifiti, probably Leuluai

Cheers guys and hope the week hasnt been too tough on all

Scored a try

Rochow played 80 and got the points from base stats

I know lad hence the but if  Souths wernt belting the Roosters think Turner would of stayed on, he had scored 40 in base in 60-65 minutes would of gone close to 50 without the try in 80 mins Glad I got something right with those 2 but Turner just doesn't seem over all those injury worries, going to be a huge risk all season I reckon
