    I regretfully selected Brenton Lawrence in my team and was continually thinking about how to remove him throughout Rd 1...until he eventually played and inevitably stunk it up significantly.

    Now he actually looks like a chance of jagging some decent minutes thanks to Manly's prop crisis but should I just be cutting my losses instead???

    Watching the Redcliffe/Bears replay at the moment. Would you like a transcript of the commentary as well Very Happy ?

    Lodge is killing it. I hope he never gets another chance in the NRL though. Luke Page looking good as well.

    Play Sironen or F. Kaufusi as last reserve.

    Suggestions welcome Very Happy

    Go Moga cause you're more likely to watch Bronco's games

    Same problem for me.

    Moga - plays centre, also plays rd 12. Knee history is a major concern as is his heart scare this week.
    Suli - DPP, don't know much else about him, doesn't play rd 12, 7k cheaper than Moga.

    I've gone for Suli mainly due to his DPP, however I think Moga will be more consistent. I'm also concerned at Mogas history.

    Sironen for me. I don't think you can get anymore out of Faufusi without him scoring a try. He played 80 and defended in the middle for a bit. Now that may happen every week, but the Bromwich injury early may be the reason as well.

    The biggest reason i picked Suli is the tigers are paying him something like 400k a year, They are going to make sure they get their money's worth.

    Same. I didn't think he'd debut so soon in the year, but now that he has, you would think they persist with him so should have good job security.

    Nice theory in principle.....but we are talking about the Tigers FFS.

    They are paying about 25 other players that aren't even at their club anymore!

    Ok decided on trades. Going all out cash grab as that is what the start of the season is all about.
    Jbrom to Fwinterstein
    Phythian to suli.

    I know i will waste 2 trades on jbrom as i bring him back in about 4-5 rounds. But it frees up 270k, he will drop about 50k, i reckon with alot of tough matches coming up with team like souths and the dogs winterstein is good for 30 a game, so should rise 70-80k. Net gain 110-130k for 2 trades with a more solid scorer than elgey in 17. Trades are valued at about 100k so short changing myself. However that 110k+ will then get me whitehead when he bottoms out for sironen and probably have some change left over to help bring trbo in as he will struggle in upcoming weeks before getting a few good games.

    Anyone see an issue with my reasoning? It also allows me an extra week to monitor jwh and et

    Still weighing up these 3 options. (I need to pick 2)

    Musgrove = Better byes, playing a consistent position, DPP, position more secure, less injury risk concerns, low ceiling (Got 40 minutes, that most likely wont improve.), Burgess twins floating around.

    Wallace = Minutes still up in the air. (I expect 50 minutes at best.), worst byes, most job security.

    Moga = Cheaper (More cash upfront), plays round 12, injury concerns, job security concerns (This could be a bonus and make him go harder.), has harder run of matches, in less secure position regarding scoring.

    Haha... I'm looking at ways to bring Holmes in ASAP once he starts playing (probably next week)

    I would sit tight... Sharks have a good bye schedule

    Did he not finish the Round 1 Match?

    I must have missed that, what happened?

    Have decided on Moga over Stimson based on byes and guaranteed minutes.

    Looked solid in the first game of the season too so hopefully he'll only get better and hold his place in the side.

    Likely he'll be used over origin at least when potentially both Boyd and Oates are out with QLD.

    Predicted origin byes backline for Broncos, anyone?

    He was cramping badly in the second half. They got him off the ground with about 15 mins to go. Not a concern.
