    Watched 10 Cloverfield Lane last night. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect but John Goodman's performance was immense. I liked it though could see how people wouldn't.

    I did not cry.

    LOL.

    Did people cry or laugh when they watched Anh Do's "Footy Legends"?

    My only trade would be Bhana to Cleary.

    I'm a bit worried about Cleary though, do we think he will keep a spot?

    With segryaro on the out and moving Wallace to hooker. You would think he has the spot for a while. Maybe TMM makes a comeback at some point. Maybe peachy moves into the hooking role shifting Wallace back. A lot of maybes to think about, seems the coach is having a moment. Not sure what the rationale is behind dropping soward. That's a big time call

    All true and good points. The Soward thing is bizarre. It's like Carty is the man expected to be mr. fix it. Cleary is the future of the club though I guess so you'd think he'd get a good go

    Seriously thinking about JWH. I think he could have a good seond half of the year. Scored a solid 51 on the weekend.

    Any interest, and would Holland or Claw ---> JWH be too sideways? I'm mainly looking at him for the price, and potential output and being able to move Surgess into second row to have the DPP flexability between my two forward packs.

    I get the feeling that Cleary may be a keeper. If he holds down the HB spot, with his kicking game and tackling, he could end up being the buy of the year. I think he is there to stay and Hook has shown his cards. My team this week. 16 trades left now;

    Smith, Friend
    Graham, Burgess, (Evans) (Gavet)
    Ma'u, James, Taylor, Pauli P (luelaia) (Benry)
    Taylor, Hunt, Cleary (Feeney)
    Leilua, Holland, (Green), (Olive)
    Tedesco, Barba, Mitchell, Aitken, (Gutherson)

    Don't think it's Talakai. Played 27 minutes for 26 points. Made 2 tackles. Scored a try..

    I've gone with him for the possible extra scoring Rd 15 player and the DPP - otherwise I'd just be bringing in a NPR cash out. Got Cleary last week, and there doesn't seem like any other options at base price.

    Thoughts on Pauli, Cleary or Gutherson for last reserve this week?

    I'm interested as well. I would be going a bit sideways though (from Tolman) but the advantages would be an extra bye-round score, $70k cash, a pretty solid 18th man for my final squad, but the later and ultimately the viability of the trade comes down to what to expect out of JWH vs Tolman going forward.

    If Toman is a 45 point player, then JWH would have to be at least that for me to consider him.

    It's my first year and I'm not sure so I'm gonna sit on this one for another week and see how he goes v Melbourne.

    Whats your plan with Holland mate? I have him too but am considering trading him out. I'm looking at Aitken as an upgrade, or Tui as a bit of a risk/reward bolter.

    Interested to know what your plans are for him.

    I might cash him out next week, bring Aitken to centres and look for a cheapie who plays R15. Having said that, a 41.5 average isn't bad for a centre. Not sure.

    I'm in the same boat with Claw. Holland not so much as he was a rookie so that doesn't feel as sideways even though it probably is. Hi BE this week means he won't rise too much if he has a blinder to see how he goes. I think for his price though, there's heaps of upside.

    I guess the worrying bit about him is that is 5 round ave is only ~33 of which on average 7 points are from kicking.

    If its Holland for Aitken (which it could be for me then now is the time I think).

    Do you think Holland for Tui is worth a crack though?? It really all depends on how the Warriors go I guess, which probably answers my question for me.....As a Warriors fan my heart wonders whether they turned a corner last week, but my head tells my heart to shut the hell up and not be an idiot.

    Exactly. Wasnt Tomkins talked up as the English version of Billy Slater? Sure he had a few good games in his time in the NRL but overall his paypacket nowhere near resembled his performance output.

    One has to wonder how he would have gone if he was at a different club though.... Also, given how the Warriors struggle to sign star players you also have to wonder how inflated his price tag was by signing with them.

    Anyhow, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

    Holland for Aitken is solid as, no question although is going to cost you. Holland for Lolo is a tricky one. He looked damn good and has the ability to rack up quick points with attacking opportunity. I got Lolo for Cody Walker weeks ago the very week he got injured. I decided to keep him then he came back and got 23. I too thought the Warriors had to turn it around at some stage and holding him paid off last week. If he can get 40 odd, he's worth having in the centres. It's easy for me to say though, I got Lolo, Aitken, Holland and BJ, but I'll be trading Holland before Lolo that's for sure.
