Is he not being talked about much (as WFB cover) because he will likely lose his sport to DWZ?

That's the only reason I didn't get him, rated him more than burns but each to there own I suppose

Thinking about offloading ET as a cashout to upgrade Hayne to Holmes or RTS to Peachey/Gutherson.

Ideally Id go straight swap Hayne to Gutherson but Im 4k short.

Don't trade RTS, unless he's long term injured.

Once he is fit and playing (I assume he'll be back this week) he'll make up the dropped cash soon enough from his injury and his scores will be fine.

Not worth wasting a trade ona guy you will certainly want around when fit

What's your thinking on both of those trades?

Holmes hasn't played a game yet, worth waiting a week or two?

Sure you want to boot RTS?

I can't see ET getting anymore than what he already is (which was a suspicion all preseason), he isn't going to lose money but I did expect him to become a keeper. At the moment he's a overpriced for his average instead of underpriced for his potential. Could pick up a cow and sort out my backline a bit.

Holmes was in and out of my team preseason for the same reason he's in a few people's team now. Not a fan of Peachey but I can't see Panthers doing what they did against the Dragons and he loves finding the line. I have a feeling that if Hayne does find his stride again, it won't be until after origin.

Probably won't offload RTS, just looking for cash tbh.

I could get rid of hayne and move tturb into WFB, SMat into CTRs and get Hess. But at 320k is he really going to put on that much more cash?

I just think with the Scott injury and the pending Lolo suspension, he should play more mins. He won't score a try every week though.
It will be interesting to see if they bring Fensom in and where he plays.

Does Rennings have any job security?

Yes/No.

He could very well keep his spot until Gray comes back however Talakai could also be given another opportunity at any time (who knows what Madge is thinking) I would suggest trading him in as it seems any player I don't have in my squad goes gangbusters each week

How do these trades sound?

Moeroa to Cody Walker (via Sione/Suli)
Hayne to Ponga/Rennings/Abbey (pending team lists)?

Considering talaki to maubbs, how likely is he to end up in that utility role with matterson there?

Just looking st JWH stats from Round 2, and it doesn't add up

34 tackles
2 offloads
157 metres

34+4+15... 51 right?

1 missed tackle
1 error

-2 and -2

So 51-4 is 47 right? His score was 49??

34+4+15 = 53 = 4 points for mistakes

His score is correct

I think his value increases a lot more should Whitehead not get DPP if Croker returns

Half this forum are accountants mate, can't make simple arithmetic errors like that and get away with it.

Matterson AND Watson give them ridiculous flexibility. Copley and Manu mean Maubbs probably isn't next choice Centre now Ferguson may be out.

They did go down Cordner's side Round 1 almost the whole game. Still last round as well but not s much. I am still nervous owning him due to that.

Lol. Mondayitis. I looked at it like 8 times... sorry guys.

Half is a conservative too @Sik

I just bumped my head on a steel girder. I'll blame that!
