That's just plain bad luck mate. Trade rage him on Tuesday.

I backed out of the Pearce trade this week and will trade him in when he's healthy. No trades this week. I have a rule where I won't bring in someone that I have traded out - can't admit I was wrong.

Anyone else who holds Parcell now revising their plans to upgrade him? The dudes averaging 50+ (and most of us would have picked him up for ~$200k I would have thought) and I can't see any reason why that's gonna change (barring injury).
I have Hodgson as my other 9 and now seriously thinking he might be the better option to upgrade from. I don't like the fact that he lately seems to average around 60min and therefore needs some pretty mean attacking stats to hit 50 each week.
Would be a trade to Friend before round 15 if I was gonna pull that trigger though.

These are the 3 trades (need to do 1 of them) I'm weighing up:
(a) Macca out & Peats in. This will have to be done today but I'm not sure with Peats on the bench so I might pass & get Parcell next week. I would prefer Peats though.
(b) Grant out & A. Fifita in. Gets me a set & forget gun but with only 14/15 playing this week this trade takes out Grant who is playing. However Fifita will more than make up for those lost points & he does play on Monday so he should be fresh.
(c) Feeney out & Munster in. This trade completes my backs but I'd rather have Tedesco who will be a lot cheaper in a couple of weeks.
Which trade do you like.

What constitutes as MT? E.g. last night I swear Croker got bumped off about 4 times, but several of those he got his arse back up off the ground and helped complete the tackle. Given he only got 1 MT last night I assume those kind of ones don't count as a MT?

Your right it's between b & c. I like b myself but if you go Munster will you still go for teddy down the road. Who else do you have in the backline?

My playing f/b's are Aitken, Barba & Mitchell. If I get Munster/Tedesco I can move Aitken to the centres & run Leilua, Aitken in the ctrs.
Current ctrs/wfb:
Leilua, Holland, Gutherson, Benry
Aitken, Barba, Mitchell, French, J. Hughes
Feeney currently in halves so I can move Hughes there.

Due to trades I'll only be able to get 1 of Munster & Tedesco.

I think I'll get Fifita this week, get Parcell next week & wait on Tedesco to see if is picked for origin 2.

Well Holland might be a sell soon. So you could move Aitken to CTR. Mitchell too could be a sell soon. If he doesn't make those big runs/score those tries his score is pretty bad.

I'm exactly the same as you mate, fed up.
It's not just that they play like a bunch of pansies - its all the off field rubbish too. They seriously are just dumb fucks.
Half of them just need to get off social media. I have no sympathy for Manu for example. If you sell your family to the cover of Womans Day, if you post your family life to thousands of followers on twitter and instagram, and leverage the heck out of your profile with kids etc to make as much $ as you can, then suck it up and deal with the shit that will come your way if you start popping pills and get caught. OR you can STOP mucking around on social media and start just focusing on your family and job - forget the rest. As one of the more senior members of the squad and arguably the most respected by the players the guy has absolutely failed the team and is indicative of why the Warriors are so shit.
The fans need a rocket up them as well cause their continued support of these idiots and rubbishing of the coach and management perpetuates the problem and undermines everything the non-playing staff are trying to do to right the ship.
The whole thing is a disaster and I can't see it turning round this year. Cappy will go at the end of the season as a result, and I think guys like SJ might leave too, fed up of playing with a pack of fools.
Only openly gay rugby league player is Ian Roberts.
If they all played like Ian Roberts, that would be a massive improvement.
My point - your sexual preference does not for a split second correlate to your ability on the field.
