    Toss of a coin. Maybe Jacks for the extra coin. But trading either for Niko is a solid trade IMO. I've done Elgey to Niko this week, but went Jacks to Frawley last week.

    Gurgess starting tonight.

    But what happens next game when Sutton goes back to 2nd Row and Turner goes to the front row?

    Could go either way. Jacks would probably prove more useful over the bye round. However Jacks if he plays limited minutes or is only coming off the bench he could begin to lose cash while Elgey is just useless. If you are planning to trade both out soon, I would trade Elgey out first. Otherwise for the long term I think Elgey is less likely to lose his cash.

    Exactly as Milchcow put it, there are more question marks are G. Burgess. I would wait on him to see how he performs and if he solidifies his spot before picking him up.

    How much is my lack of big guns in the second row killing me?  Am I sacrificing too much in the way of guns for depth? Should I really make JDB or Tolo a top priority?

    Missing a few of those early cows is always amplified by the fact that when the mid season/post origin cows come around you have to be a lot more cautious depending on your trade situation... 

    I too missed Hess and Ponga to name a couple... I feel your pain bro.

    This week starting it could be anything. From 30 points up to a 50+ score if he has a point to prove. For Ultimate if you don't have better options he could be worth the risk, otherwise I don't think he is worth bringing into Fantasy NRL due to the fact that his minutes are up in the air when Sutton returns to the forward pack.

    Definitely getting to the point in the season now when you will need to start making those planned upgrades WK. I think Milchy pointed out the other day that some people will be around or under that 25 remaining trade mark now. With a 25 man squad that means that every trade from here on out for those people needs to count.

    I don't think it's time for you to panic yet but definitely worth having a plan of attack in mind and ready to implement.

    depends how long you stick with them for. leaves you in a great position to do gun upgrades for a few weeks but at the same time you don't want to fall back on points. Would actually leave JDB unless you're trading him in in the next few rounds. Gallen is bye friendly as fuck and would be a great trade from Hess when he levels off. You're centres are fine to leave, as are your WFB's for now too. And with RTS being a reserve there you can easily downgrade Ponga to a nuffie once he loses his spot and have tonnes of cash to get yourself a gun 2nd hooker for the bye rounds while still having Lamb and Frawley there. Really liking the make up of your team as a lot of potential there mate.
