Rennings looks a better option than Ponga then.

Matt Manukia @MattManukia 9m Manu Vatuvei training with Warriors NRL side. Tui Lolohea is back with the reserve grade. #nrl

oh yeah, forgot there are two spots open in the dogs team.

DWZ is back this week isn't he? Pushes Dylan Edwards out?

Yeah I guess given Whare played well, DWZ back possibly, Hiku apparently not as bad as first thought so probably returns week 4/5, likely that if Edwards gets any more gametime it will be only 1 more game, then Mansour comes back mid season, Panthers have byes origin 1 and 2 so he's definitely not worth it.

Then you have Rennings vs Talakai with madge likely to swap them every second week.

Probably safest to go to Brad Abbey/Montoya depending on who gets named. At least you have 4 weeks to start with, then Bulldogs have Sunday games in rounds 8 and 11, origin 1 brett Morris will be out.
Montoya might be a safe bet on the wing but not guaranteed to score well.

And does TRD come in at base price or do they score him from last week (where he was pretty good and probably racked up 30-40 points if it was being scored)?

He looked decent with a bit of space at the Nines as well.

Haha, for once Bren's sarcasm radar is playing up.

I think you guys missed his.

Talakai to Crichton? Is that a good trade?

Doesn't leave me with much money at all in the bank but it gives me someone else that's going to make money?

FUCK YOU MADGE JUST PLAY TALAKAI!

FML. Tui > Manu.

Surely Manu is well past his used-by date.

I know Tui has some errors but for fucks sake how is Maumalo still in the side? This guy is a 3rd string winger anywhere else in the comp but at the Warriors he's first choice. Price you pay for signing the whole Kiwis spine I guess

ET ---> Hess
Hayne ---> Rennings

Good for byes (keeping Surgess over ET)

Crichton was tempting and may still bring him in next week.

Waiting for TLT to confirm.

These are my two exact pre team list trades.

Was 2K off going Elgey to Lamb as well as the ET to Hess trade.

Targets for me are Chricton, Lamb, Stimson, Capewell. Hoping the later two don't get named so at least we have some downgrade options.

Trading out Moeroa is irking me, even though he has underperformed it just feels like a 50+ score is not far away. Good byes too. I think I just want him to score well its clouding my decision making.

Couldnt slater of waited a few more weeks with the storm winning? Jacks was turning into a good cow, at least he should get a run come origin

It is really frustrating to be honest. As a NZ side it was always always going to have a higher number of Kiwis reps in the team, but turning the Warriors into Kiwis 2.0 is not a good idea. Bloody Kearney

I made the mistake last year of holding on to Moeroa way too long just because of his good byes. He did nothing for me and I should have bailed long before I did. He might hit an okay score once in a while but looks like he will still only score in the mid 20s to mid 30s on a regular week.

I really want to go ET to Hess but but with Talakai, Hayne, Phythian, Field & now potentially Jacks not playing I'm going to have to address the dnp's first.

Yeah, think you are right on this.

Moeroa -> Crichton
Hayne -> Holmes

leaves me with 0k in the bank.. well well well..

I reckon if Slater comes back that Munster shifts into the centres - you would imagine that Jacks has played well enough to hold that spot down himself and when Slater goes down again Munster will slot straight back to FB. The fact that Bellamy put Munster at 1 and Jacks to 6 to start with suggests he's not confident with Munster at 5/8

This has been my thinking all along.

Yay!

When RTS went off last week Tui was getting driven back so much playing as FB, too small. Guess the conditions dind't help stepping etc though.

Hope Manu comes back.

Should mean Fusitua to FB, who scores quite well from what I can remember? He played there last year, someobdy have any stats on Fus at FB?
