I remember when a kid at intermediate decided to light his can of Lynx in the middle of class and nearly killed us all lol

Teddy has a question mark because of the way he left the Tigers and his lack of playmaking skills. He has individual brilliance but they are looking for a
TEAM approach. Moses and to a lesser extent Brooks are being looked at to the future with Freddy,

Since when does a FB need to be a play maker?
Team approach? Didn't Moses ditch the Tigers last year as well as Teddy?
Sorry to be making this reply in a fantasy thread.

It would be silly to trade and downgrade players like Thompson and Griffin this week hey? Players I want to trade playing round 13 and one's I'll have to probably don't need to be moved on. At the moment, I'm going to bank on Fonua getting his spot back and keeping it;

Havilli - Fonua
Kikau/JFH - Fifita/Taupau

Really have no idea at this stage.

When is johnson back, can go Hav - SJ in one shot

I think for the first time in a long time I will only be doing one trade. Rein to AJ.

Might still trade out RFM but no guns are really interesting me to bring in this week

So you'll have both glass jaw & glass groin in your team.

If Fifita can play origin does that mean Taumalolo can play for Qld?

No because he's not an Australian citizen. I doubt Fifita plays origin because even though he's an Australian citizen, he has said he will play for Tonga. I could be wrong but to play origin your intent must be to play for Australia.

19 trades before making any this round.
Thinking arrow comes back in as one trade.
Could use the second to dump soro/lamb or bank the 2nd trade.
Kikau/JFH the one to make way for arrow

I have the same choice to make = Kikau or JFH to Arrow & atm I'm selling Kikau as he's playing off the bench, has a b/e of 50 which I don't think he can achieve this week against the Dragons who have a strong edge defense so they should contain Kikau & he provides more profit after sale.

Whose glass jaw ARey or Dugan?

He can be picked despite playing for Tonga. Dumb rule. Won’t be picked. Listen to his Triple M interview after the game on the weekend. He doesn’t want a Blue Jersey to win for NSW, he wants it for his own reasons. From memory he said “I” and “me” in his statement over 10 times. Bloke is a beast but he won’t be picked for a) Playing for Tonga (good luck to him and I hope he plays really well for them), and b) his attitude to the Origin arena.

Big BE . Could be a juicy price next round.

Thoughts on these trades please?

RFM and Kikau to DCE and Surgess

Looks good based on names but with Hodko there I'm worried about DCE and his avg, big hit without his GK 

Surgess avg in non injury affected games is the .6 more than RFM

Harris is a better option I reckon, Surgess also an injury and BIG suspension risk

I had Hav - DCE pencilled in until i checked his non GK stats this morning

Good call. Harris not playing round 13 is annoying. Guess his price now makes up for it.

Actually I could do RFM and Kikau out for Harris and Arrow?

Round 13 fucked but team would look sweet!
