Barnett is out as well. I suspect Stone might play 80 and Yates and Wardle share minutes with bench forwards lock props and hooker

Stone and Wardle are both wide backrowers Yates is a middle forward. Yates will share his minutes Tupou(who has pushed into the middle these days)/Stockwell/Safiti.

Not normally one to do this but feel like I'm missing something fairly obvious
50k ITB
Smith McInnes
Fifita Tolman Kaufusi Tualau
Gallen Crichton Whitehead Jwal CHN Capewell
Norman Walker Lamb Hampton
Sione Talakai Idris Kelly
Rts Hayne Cotric Jennings Suli

Nothing major that can be done until cows peak right? Unless MWZ moves to Tigers in which case I would downgrade Kelly and hope he takes Naiqama's spot

If Fifita plays Origin I'll wait until Round 12 hits and then I'll trade him. Last thing you want to do is trade him and then next game he goes on one of those signature 5-6 tackle break runs and he busts out an 80.
He hasn't done that once this year but it'll come soon enough, probably right around the time Origin is nearing.

Just saw on 360 that Fifita is playing his 150th game. Boy isn't going anywhere!

Anyone having a punt captaining anything other than a hooker this week?

Thats looking bullshit good.
You seem to be on it in soon to be upgrades to CTR and WFB, but the rest is good to go for another week. Bank those trades.
Well done (you're not in L7 are you?)

I need to generate cash & I need to upgrade Jacks.

McGuire out - Tualau in
Jacks out - Norman in

Even though McGuire to Norman is probably sideways it gets me a solid bye friendly 2nd half & my forward depth means I can let McGuire go plus I was always going to sell him before round 12 anyway. Also it gives me 132k in the bank to upgrade my ctrs & wfb's.

Smith, Cook
Fifita, Wallace, F. Kaufusi (Tualau)
JDB, Surgess, Crichton, Hess, CHN (Winterstein)
SJ, Norman (Lamb, Field)
Talakai, Kelly (Cotric, Idris)
RTS, Slater, Ponga (R. Jennings, Abbey)

Thoughts & thanks.

I personally would get rid of hess before mcquire but your team is looking good just need to get some centres. A ponga - hayne trade next week should generate you enough cash for a gun centre and idris should be back after the rep week hopefully

Languishing just inside the top 5k and league 5 so hoping I can put up some serious numbers over the byes

Captain Crichton for me this week!

Actually I do like that suggestion for team flexibility because I can move McGuire to the 2fr so then I'll have dpp's in my frf & 2fr. I can see myself hiding behind the couch though when Hess plays hoping he doesn't get his base stat try/tries haha.

Storm and Broncos players are protected species

I don't see the point of holding Mcguire any longer. If he gets less minutes again like last week he may struggle to break 50. I could get Norman via DPP or free up a lot of cash for bye guns by getting Stone who if holds down 80 min role with Barnett and Buhrer out will make $$$ for a triangle trade

was considering bodene to stone and pocketing the change, but with pauli pauli named at 18th man you would imagine his return is imminent. enough to put me off

Christ, everyone's teams are better then mine...LB you can bank some trades again this week, it's looking fine. Also, 26 is a pretty good number to have left. What did we start with? 34?
