If Taylor is out, he was one of my two halves so I'm in trouble.

Taylor ---> Cullen
Parcell ---> Friend

It just means I keep Tommy Turbo a week longer and could be a good thing as he's up against the hapless Knights.

but then next week you're again stuck with a half that doesnt play?

or are you still holding DCE or something?

how come so many people are trading out parcell this week? I understand he might end up dropping mins if he gets benched for a bit, but he's still got money to make?

Bringing in Milford or another gun half next weekend for Walker who is still sitting on my sidelines.
Could trade Walker ---> Cullen but then Taylor has either plateued anyway or will drop cash.

My reasoning is that if I don't trade him this week, I miss a gun score.
He will make no cash this week when he doesn't play while Friend will rise, pushing their prices futher apart therefore it will cost me more in the long run.

is it confirmed he's not playing? i though he was looking 'likely'?

on that note is it also confirmed ash taytay is out... because if so then its straight to bhunt for me as no other halves

the latest on ash taylor was that he should be fine to play.

Reverse trades!

potential for fonua blake to work his way into the '3rd prop' position in the sea eagles pecking order?

unlikely although with barry at the helm who the fuk knows

I believe he is fairly highly rated, and its only due to off-field issues (ie assault charges that saw him sacked from St George)
He had a suspended sentence which is over now, so its entirely possible he might see more regular game time.

Quite a lot of competition at Manly though, so you can't be sure of anything.

He might have money to make, but what if he takes 2 weeks before he plays a game to make it.
Entirely possible that by the time he returns, DCE does too, and Parcell is sharing with Koro giving crap scores.

And in the mean time, Friend/Smith/whoever you were going to bring in is racking up big scores and making cash of their own that you miss out on.

Keeping Parcell is certainly not a cut and dried decision.

is there some late mail that i'm unaware of? i though it was likely he plays this weekend?

Is Napa a keeper or what? Pumping some very nice scores out

A lot of Roosters forwards to come back so no way to tell at this stage.

he still has the same injury that caused him to miss last week.

There are no guarantees he will be fit, so everyone is taking precautions. He doesn't play until Monday so options may be limited if he is a late withdrawal

I'm going J Saifiti -> Elliot from the dogs.

I feel it's a good move, any reason it's not?

Herman Hmmmm.

Looks a decent option. Reversing trades I think.

Jaifiti -> Herman
Walker -> Bunt

Fair enough. Think I'll bring in another gun elsewhere and if parcell doesnt play switch the R to BLaw.
