Saw this but is it a legit source yet?

four weeks out with eight weeks left.
That's a paddlin'!

If it's true I'm not surprised, literally the only player in my Draft team that hasn't been injured L2 relegation is imminent!

Ha! First issue I've had with my draft team, currently sitting 17-0-1.

I sure hope it's not legit however since the Roosters have a bye its a wait and see. Would solve the conundrum I have on who to trade out for Smith.

Mole.

Hope you didn't soil yourself in that spot, its mine next year and if their is any cleaning bill I'll be sending it your way.

I'm going to eat nothing but curries for the last 4 rounds.

Flash out 8 weeks. Hopefully Maubbs doesn't end up in the Centres long term

Hopefully Watson to FB. Also JTS (RTS's brother) a possibility? However probably Mitchell to FB, Maubs centre

If I go Guth to ARey this week can go Friend to CS9 next with $1k change.

Or is it worth doing something left-field like bringing in Segeyaro and using bank to upgrade a Nuffie to Pearce?

So if Friend has indeed broken his risk then Watson who was probably going to play f/b due to Gordon being injured will now probably go to hooker so now who will play f/b.

If Friend is out for 4 weeks as reported by The Mole then surely Watson goes to hooker, Mitchell to fullback and Aubs stays in the centers.

Watson probably hooker I reckon.

Do they still have Paul Carter knocking around, or have they ditched him?

Love it if Maubs actually ends up playing hooker. Bit overoptimistic, but IRL reckon he'd do a decent job there.

I don't think Mitchell has the aerobic capacity to play f/b. He doesn't strike me as being the fittest of players.

@rhinoceroo - read in the SMH that Carter was the one who supplied cocaine to SKD.

Haha, Maubbs tackling for 80 minutes would be tremendous!

Nah, Carter got sacked by the Roosters as well

Very tough decision.  Pearce one less game but extra 10 average means he gets you around 20 extra points by Round 26.

However, DCE's average is on the way up so they may end up scoring you the same if DCE's form continues.

Pearce does seem to have the higher ceiling.

How many playing this round?

I've got the full 17 even if NuBrown doesn't play,I'll just have to use Hampton if so. And yes I'm torn as I think DCE is in for a big end to the year so it's making me think maybe forget Pearce and use my leftover cash elsewhere? Eg upgrading Fui perhaps,that's all I've got in mind at this point to be honest. Here's my team,maybe you can see something else I should be considering?

Smith McInnes
Fifita Brown Eisenhuth Fai
Taumalolo Taupau JDB Surgess Gallen Crichton
SJ Munster NuBrown Hampton
BJ Fuimaono Scott Kelly
RTS Mansour Edwards Hayne Phythian

Is it my bad memory or didn't he get dumped from fullback last year to Ressies for a game? Then cam back on the wing? Pretty sure he had a couple of really bad games in the number 1 anyway? Or was that Ferguson?
