Loads going today so I’m prepared for some massive disappointment

Why would you believe anything written in a forum??

Not expecting Titans to be easy beats from now on. They finally have the right forward pack on the field and should be reasonably competitive.

With the Titans as an example funny how a forum can moan about the perceived best way for a pack to line up pre season (mainly for fantasy purposes) then get's proven right in real terms and could also end up great for fantasy (James FR, Arrow Lock)

Cartright at left-right-out

If Carty could bump Elgey out, would be the fantasy tri-fecta

No idea what to do for trades this week, but im thinking Smith-Macca, which would leave me with only 26k in the bank though. My thoughts are Macca is a safe captain and I'm a Broncos fan so when we drop it on 2nd tackle I at least can enjoy Macca getting some tackles. Nicholls remains a worry but hopefully he gets decent minutes to hit his be tonight.

Smith
Lodge Arrow
Whitehead Murray RFM
Mbye DCE
Isaako Inglis
Teddy Ponga Thompson

Cook Rochow Griffin Kikau

Doueihi Havili Croker Nicholls

BUMP

Ok guys pick one scenario of these 3 please:

A) Trade Smith to Koro and Croker to JFH-no cash left
B)Trade Smith to Mbye and Croker to JFH-77k spare
C) Keep Smith but have to play one of Doueihi JMK or Croker

I don't think Koro is a good trade for Smith.
Not enough money made to justify spending a trade, unless you think Smith truly is a spent force and will not regain his form in the next few months.

Mbye is at least cheap enough to give you some good cash if you are going to ditch Smith.

I wouldn't play Doueihi this week. Could easily end up playing 10 minutes.

JMK would be my pick over Croker (is it possible to loop them and get a free look at JMK tonight)

hmmmm. If Cotric goes to FB and the raiders win, I wonder if he can hold that position. I would think not given Ricky's love of Wighton.. but if he did, well it would be GET IN MY TEAM COTRIC

My 2 trades will be:
Smith out - DCE in
Havili out - Maloney in

Cook
Kikau, Arrow
Jurbo (c), Murray, N. Brown
DCE, Maloney
Mitchell, Isaako
Tedesco, Ponga, Thompson

Griffin, RFM, JFH, Rochow
Lodge. L. Croker, Doueihi, Kennar

Would you play Lodge over anyone on my bench. Cheers.

Should I bring him in for Cody Walker? Cody needs tries to score well and isn't taking on the line. Could lose a shitload of cash against the Dragons. Mbye at fullback is a gun. That what the four Moseses are saying.

Didn't someone mention that C. Walker scores better with A-Rey in the team as he gets more ball. I think it's a gut call.

Anyone else struggling to see the appeal of JFH?

Last 2 seasons he has had PPMs of 0.6 and 0.5. Lets take the best of those 2 and say 0.6 PPM. He plays at lock and may get at most 60 minutes per week. That puts him at 36 points per week. Certainly never going to be a keeper like Arrow or Murray, so can't see why anyone would want to waste 2 trades getting him in and out again and not many points each week while holding him.

Mbye in yes but for Walker I think it's sideways mate plus losing a good scorer for R13

Can anyone else can make way?

By the way I was considering N. Brown to Mbye but got Maloney instead & kept Brown.

food for thought for those thinking about playing JMK tonight
halves vs raiders in the first month:
dce 52 with a try, lcroker 15,
sjohnson 30, blake green 26,
pearce 37, cwatson with a try 31
ataylor 49, elgey with a try 28

Would you play Isaako or Thompson this week?

Yes was playing great with A Rey giving him space to run. Dough Boy did the opposite, really bad for his points.

Thompson. Isaako just has gk & Roberts will never give him the ball.
