I don't think I'll be trading Slater out. I think he will be gold for the home run.

So storm will be without Slater, Cronk, Smith, Glasby, Chambers, Blair, Welch, McLean..

Slater to Edwards might be on the cards too, I could use the cash for a nice upgrade elsewhere

Suli plays 15 then becomes Edwards for me

Ditto.

I got Ponga too which might become Teddy, or possibly Munster this week.

would have to be close to the first time since the Broncos were introduced as a club and available for selection that they've been outnumbered by another club in the QLD side

Yeah I think I'll trade out Wallace, Lamb & Slater & bring in Vaughan (yes I've changed my tune), Lolohea & Munster. Then I'll bring in Edwards for C. Walker in round 16.

I think the Lamb to Lolohea trade is pretty sideways mate.  But saying that, Lolohea has a higher ceiling.

Slater to Munster this week is pretty appealing.. even if a tad sideways. It does mean two extra games out of a gun WFB.. 100pts could make a big dif in the rankings.. hmm.

I feel like the only other trades I make will be cash outs who play at least rnd 15. Unless I bring in Vaughan I suppose.. hmm

Lolohea scored 22pts in 5 mins with the try then 19 for the next 75 mins. Niko was similar price lower be and got to 350k with 53 and 55 next 2 games and plateaued. Some nice fixtures but plays FB 15 with Teddy origin? Still think he's a dud trap in the making

Lamb to me is like Ponga for you. I seem to have some emotional attachment for him. I still am hesitating to let him go because he'll still score well but Lolohea has netted 91 points against 2 potential top 4 teams in the Dragons & Roosters in the last 2 weeks. All Lamb has is his massive kick metres & goal kicking but Lolohea has more scoring options through his running game, t/b's plus he goal kicks & has kick metres as well. Actually after I posted my comment I had 2nd thoughts about selling Slater as I think he's worth holding on to.

At this point why not hold Lamb until 18? You've held him this long, u may as well take advantage of him playing a big bye round...

I still hold the same view on Lolohea although I was starting to think I was very wrong after 5 min yesterday I just don't see the value in the guy. He won't score tries each week so the sample size of 2 games could easily read ~35 and 20 (sorry don't know exactly what he scored off those two plays). If that were the case would you still be bringing him in?

If I still had Lamb right now I'd seriously be considering a way to turn him into Pearce in round 19.

Graham(if he plays) or Elliot as last reserve today people? 822 with one of them,JDB and McInnes to come today

I still have Lamb also..........

With Lolohea in his defence yesterday when he attacked the line and kicked the ball through he was taken out pretty hard and a bit late. He was pretty dusty after that. I thought maybe he had injuried himself and he didn't jump into the defence or involve himself as much after that, so I think it did bang him up. I got him for Frawley but would have reversed if the Reynolds news came out earlier. I'm not mad with the trade and he'll have some okay scores but mainly around that 30 I reckon. His defence though is actually pretty good I must say. It's surprising.

Lolohea also would of scored a 2nd try in the first half if Gordon hadn't of deliberately taken him out after Lolohea kicked the ball through. It was a blatant professional foul by Gordon & should of been a penalty for the Tigers & maybe 10 minutes in the bin for Gordon.

Ninja'd. That's right it was Gordon and it was a professional foul now that you mention it. I thought it was a late shot or something couldn't quite remember, but yeah he did deliberately take him out. As I said, it knocked him up quite a bit too.

Tough. Elliot I would probably go just to be safe.

is D edwards a start for the rest of the season? slater to DED is appealing for the cash and extra rounds now that slater is in origin.
