Yeah I think he would come in for Josh king. Sammy Stone has been awesome too, doesn't miss many tackles.

yeah he would, I forgot who was starting lock at the moment. I like Stone, wish I jumped on him early.

Munster makes a lot more sense as a bench utility than someone like DCE (Morgan to starting side). Cue Bellamy benching him

Yes it's a nrlshop.com one, I got one last year
Still haven't used it yet either haha, not a lot of Cronulla options there

Really... you cant even grab a new jersey from there with ease ?

@Showbag @Random @Finch - did u all get together and choose an Avatar ?

Just going to pop this question up again because I think it got missed previously.

Choose one pairing in for Kaufusi and Norman.

Gallen and Munster or Teddy and Burgess.

Ta Maes.

Why do i get the feeling ur writing these down u detective you !

I think JT will be fit for SOO but Munster could be fighting Holmes for a wing spot

Was looking at Munster this week as a POD with everyone getting Walker. Will hold off on Munster now. Thanks.

Im starting just now to second guess a few thoughts which have up until now got me sitting at 23rd with only 9k and 18 trades remaining.
Its like i have started thinking ok now it is bye time and trade in and trade outs could make or brake you, im changing my tactics. But up until now ive been relatively quick on decisions and confident.

Team as below

Smith Cook
Vaughan Brown McGuire Fkausi
Gallen Lolo Burgess Crichton CHN Cappy
SJ Frawley Brown Fogerty
Tturbo Moga Idris Fui
RTS Munster Cwalker Dufty TRD

I can go the usual suspects this week like Graham, tempted by a couple players who dont play 12 though.
Someone hold my hand and increase my ranking this weekend again please

Gallen and Munster...but Surgess is a must, it goes without saying

Trade Kaufusi to N Brown or J Graham (or even Whitehead or SST) then your last bench spot picks itself

Running without Surgess while he plays in all major byes could come back to haunt me but I just can't buy someone on the back of 2 tries
Was planning to bring him in round 14 but now not so sure

If I do reverse the trade I'll be able to get rid of Kaufusi this week before he loses too much cash. I did want to keep him for another week to see how he goes but now this opportunity has presented itself I can turn him into Brown.

SJ has a be of 60, hopefully he wont go up in price so I can bring him in for Norman next week.

Any thoughts on this guys? Thanks.

I just did something similar

Reversed my NIko to SJ trade And gladly running KNik out one more time and prioritize Kaufusi this week.

Has gone largely unheralded but best cash cow of the year Kaufusi by far. People are turning him into Sam burgess for Christ sake! Kudos to the lad. Made a mockery of KBrom for 100k less

You're too good for that MS

He's one of the top half a dozen guns in the game.

A recent couple of tries is irrelevant. It's his 60pts you need for these big bye rounds, not his 90pt prayers

Looks like I'll bring Big Gal in. He has screwed me over just about every time I've brought him in fantasy and he has been on my never again list every year but I guess you have to take some risks to get ahead in this game, right?

Solid pick. Genuine gun and former screwing was rep related.

I know he said he has retired from rep footy but isn't City Country rep?? Let's hope he sticks by his word.

I was considering abstaining as well, especially after his 90 odd. But I'm wary of Calker so need another byes target. In saying that I wanted to see what Kaufusi did on Sunday but thinking I might pull the trigger on Kaufusi to Surgess this week.

That trade could cost 100k next week. I'm upgrading now.

2 from Brailey, CHN and Elliott?
