he had a good game last week, 45 points scored with 15 mins off for a head assessment.
comes back on in the final minutes for a sneaky ta. lucky he had the concussion so his price remains in reach for me.

second priority is getting rid of mitchell. he just looked so unfit - gassed from doing nothing.
i might come to regret it because he has the panthers followed by the rabbits, and he might score well.
but he's a ball watcher and relies on tupou going good. undecided on who just yet

Mitchell becomes Ted for me this week. He has scoring potential but SKD and Tupou do ALL of the grunt work so seems like he is relying on try scoring plays for his points.

So are fellow Gallen owners concerned or what? I mean for his price point ET's scoring fine but for Gallen no 50+'s isn't good. I can go to JDB this week but seems like a potential waste of a trade. Could downgrade him and get ever closer to getting McInnes in but again he's not scoring totally shit so may be better to hold.

Same boat here, other priorities to sort out in the team and it is only 2 rounds. Just tempting to go to JBD or downsize and swim in cash. Think I'll hold.

Yeah I looked at trading him out this week but then he's still pumping out decent scores - yes the money could be better spent but am I a) going to make up those points by trading to someone else and b) is that money worth a trade?
So far no, I would rather hold onto my trades.

Lamb is starting to look comfortable controlling the forwards as well, he's a good foil for Hodkinson.

RE: Mitchell - he's one of those guys that will score you 20-30 points in one play, that's what people get him for.
He's not going to get you base stats. I think he scores well in a good Roosters side this year.
I think you do end up regretting it.

I will do an update on Thursday but you should be able to see it on the website.
Unsure where it is on the app so I usually wait until I get to work

ET to Ness and Elgy to Norman

Thoughts?

Loch it in.

When is SST due back and will he impact on " the Black Widow " ?

As long as Ness is in there somewhere Bren's joke will still work...that's the main thing

I was lost there for a minute, haha Hess

Going in to round 3 I still can't see any reasonable trades to make. 

I'll need to see which rookies the Bulldogs name to replace Pythian/Talakai but that's about it. The only players losing money in my team are the proven guns lol

Was planning on trade free week. Then i just looked at titans next few rounds....might be wise to just jump to norman as i dont see elgey improving

Does anybody else have a complete dud FRF bench of Leota and Isaiah Papalii? I actually wonder if I should spend a bit of cash to strengthen myself in that department so I'm not completely screwed and/or I can make some genuine cash out of someone.

Don't see many options. Welch would be good if he kept a starting spot but he won't with Bromwich coming back. Crichton another option but costs a lot. If Slater returns though I won't be able to use Jacks and I'll have to choose a 4th reserve out of Yates, Elgey, Idris, Burns or Suli. With Kelly covering for no Talakai and Cotric covering for Hayne I am looking skinny as for a reserve so wonder if spending cash is worth it.

Pain mentioned Talakai - Slater. Fair few will roll the dice in that trade I reckon
