Munster to who? Can get anyone. Pearce/Cleary/DCE?

There are literally only 2 real life posters on the forum.  There is you, and I am everyone else.

If Munster is going to miss 2 or more weeks - should I burn my last trade on Munster - Teddy or Munster - Pearce?

Hi zorasdomain, it's Stew again. The stump grinding took longer than anticipated as it was quite bushy and Stew was struggling to make a start with his tools. But you'll be happy to know that once Stew managed to find his way in there it was full steam ahead. Choo Choo.

In regards your question, Stew rates Yates at the top of the list of venereal diseases, as you can't spell Yeast without Yates and the way Luke hangs around without offering anything really helpful-well he is very much like Thrush-just an irritating c=#t.

Dylan Walker is like the HIV, because you know in his early days he wreaked havoc, but since then he has been well contained.

Kurt Capewell is the Herpes-bobs up every now and then but you are never quite sure whereabouts.

With NuBrown-well Stew believes that is a separate set of diseases altogether. Much like his namesake Nathan Brown, both have copped it in the face of late and woken up an hour and a half later without any memory. A bit like Stew's ex-wife after a Rohypnol Martini. James Bond has nothing on Stew; Stew's conquests end up stirring in the morning and also very shaken.

Stew hopes that helps.

The guy who tried to get Maccas for JT. :lol:

Two important questions need answering first

Who's playing for you in his absence?
What's your depth like if you burn your last trade?

Milchcow wrote:

If Hampton starts then they have nobody to spell Granville - who doesn't generally play 80.

Problem with 21 man teams is that they can't have coverage for every position, so if someone does go down injured, not necessarily going to be a replacement ready in the squad.

Gramsy was/is. Not sure about the Maccas for JT though....?

this is team

Smith McInnes
Vaughan JBRom (Gurgess Tualau)
Gallen Surgess Crichton NBrown JDB Barnett
Cleary DCE (Munster NuBrown)
Leilua Scott Fui DWalker
CWalker TTurbo Lolohea (RTS Abbey)

So currently have RTS, Munster as best players out of the squad - followed by Gurgess, Fui, DWalker as other options)

An injury to the front row is my biggest concern. No cash in the bank so if JBrom goes down my replacement options are limited.

Was meant to be using trades to fix that up but ended up burning them on SJ and Merrin instead, so now I have what I have.

Tedesco's recent scoring is a 10-15 point upgrade over Lolohea/RTS so I am starting to think it is worth the risk.

Worst case situation if I burn the trade is Vaughan goes down and I have to play gurgess for a loss of 30 points a week. Anyone else and I have OK cover

Your biggest concern like you said is in the front row and if you could use that last trade anywhere I'd recommend it being used there.

But from what you're saying you haven't got cash for any upgrades there. So I would keep the trade incase one of your gun forwards do go down.

You have RTS as an npr with Walker, Lolohea and Munster all interchangeable through half and wfb so you have that area covered fine imo.
