Won't make much of a difference to his score, terrible kicker.

REVERSE TRADES, REVERSE TRADES!!!!!

Anyone still got Felise? His ownership is still a staggering 19% but I'm guessing the majority of that are people that stopped playing and caring weeks ago. He's in my 17 this week and if he keeps the 80 minute gig, could be a decent POD if enough of the top teams have shifted him already. If he doesn't meet expectations this week I can punt him for Vaughn next week.

Crazy to be bringing in Macca instead of Smith? Will be partnering McInnes.

Boils down to Macca and Munster, or Smith and Teddy??

The bunnies play before Melbourne

Macca should continue playing 80 but when Benji came on around the 65 minute mark last week we had Hunt, Milford, Macca and Marshall on at the same time so his role might change when that happens.

With Cook on the bench, perhaps Fui may see a few more minutes this week.

Every week seems to throw another spanner in the works.

Scott not being named is concerning, might not trade this week, sit back and see how it all pans out.

If Scott doesn't play I'll have to sell him instead of Fui.

Fucking tunimanpeawhatever the fuck his name is,what to do now if Scott doesn't play? Hold for a week and see what happens or trade out Fui for Turbo?

I still have him, he's not far behind the other front rowers

We'll get the extended squad cut before the Bunnies play so hopefully that sheds some light on the CTR position

Round 17 Broncos v Storm - Young T. named to start & Scott on extended bench. When the team was named Scott replaced Young T. so it could happen again.

He's ranked 4th highest total point scorer and 6th in highest averages in the front row. Pretty damn good. Are you planning to hold him for the time being?

This is a bit left field for a trade idea but what do people think? SJ to DCE and Eisenhuth to Turbo via Fui. Leaves me with 1 trade and 24k and team looking like this

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

Or just go all out with my HLFs and accept my CTRS position will be a bit thin (most people have the same problem anyway) and run with this team

Leaves me with 1 trade and 58k

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

This is giving me a real headache so a vote either way would be great thanks guys

I don't mind this.  I did a similar thing and went SJ to Turbo to get hin in my centres too via DPP.  Makes my team look a whole lot better without that weak hole in the centre position.  Already have Munster and Cleary with Lolohea as a backup.  I think with your position just running with the two halves is fine, especially if it means getting Turbo in the centres and not having to run with Fui, then that's a huge plus for your team.

How many minutes we thinking leota plays? Had him in my team all year, will be disappointed if he turns into a crap AE

I would be very surprised if he plays more then 35 minutes. I expect Browne to come on and do a fair bit of work. You can lock CHN and Yeo in for 80 minutes each week.

Besides TTurbo, are there any other centres worth having? I've got SMat, BJ, Fui & Scott.

Thanks mate,yeah the only thing that irks me is I really don't want to be stuck with RTS as I don't trust him to score consistently to be in my final 17( even less so now that SJ is out) so that's why my first option is still running through my head as I will have essentially 3 strong halves to nullify any apparent weaknesses my CTRS may have (although this will be boosted if Scott does end up in the starting team)

I don't think he has been mentioned much if at all on here but Dane Gagai is a serious POD.
