Agree. Looks like Naiqama is gone, and if Fonua can turn up to training he'll be centre.

Probably all get swapped around in a month though

Haven't they said something like it's to do with whether they are selected in the position on merit vs covering an injury in that spot for a week or two?

Rein to Taupau this week.

Zero clue how to approach next weeks trades. Because of that I think the safest option is to just hold trades and wait to see what happens with SOO.

Only trade I can see myself doing next week is bringing ma’u for a cameo.

Also tapuau against the raiders is tempting to cap. No paulo or tapine. Halves that can’t tackle. Could go large

He's not covering an injury. Looks like he will be first choice centre. Would be his third game if he turned up for training last week.

Thinking about it maybe with 19 trades I should be getting rid of JFH and maybe Kikau. Need to max numbers for 13 and then 17 after leave about 3-4 trades to ride home with.

Only have 5 reasonable certain R13 plus Cook Latrell Ponga DCE Arey Gosi Katoa who all Origin likely, possible, or playing 13 doubts

I think a lot of people will be in the same boat. Can see a lot of max panic trading next week although could be costly post origin.

Seems weird we get an extra trade these bye rounds this year with 4 less players in our squads.

Is it best to get Fonua/Guth this week or get two base price cheapies next week.

It's highly likely they will both be switched to Rd17 cheapies unless they prove to be keepers.

Not sure what to do there?

Ok after looking at all the scores vs Dragons think I'm ditching Kikau and JFH. Matterson and Crichton only forwards to score over 50 against. Wow

Missed Murray 52 in 61 and Cook but I'm leaving out 80 min hooker freak

Was thinking of trading out Kikau and L. Croker to Brimson and T. Martin
Would give me a big bank for next week to do the following trades;

P. Vaughan to M. Taupau
Fisher Harris to J. Taumalolo
G. Jennings to E. Marsters

Sound like a good idea?

Regardless of whether Fonua gets DPP or not, would I be right to play him over Thompson? If he gets DPP I'll probably play both of them and drop Hiku to ressies

TMM is trash and against the Storm. I'd wait a week even with 9 BE

Hi guys, do you think it's too late to bring in R Martin?

Can swap him straight for gosie.

Best trades that work for me for $$ potential and filling up the positions for R13 is Kikau+JFH to Terepo+Fonua.

These can easily be moved on later for R17 preferably keepers. Thoughts?

Thompson on the wing probably needs a try to get a reasonable score.
Could well get one against thedogs though.

I'll have Thompson as an emergency this week, playing Inglis and Hiku ahead of him.

Didn't it get mentioned that next week is the next DPP update, so there wont be enough weeks for him to get it ??

I think the weeks played are irrelevant/less important as to whether or not someone gets DPP?

Two things..

1: Only one person correctly guessed my CTR POD I mentioned last week. He went ok without setting the world on fire, happy with the buy I guess, could be worse.

2: In regards to Harris, I want him too but don't forget Kearney has said all of the Warriors who play in the Denver test wont be playing against the Sharks in R16 (Think its R16?) So really if you buy Harris now, he is playing for 3 weeks of the next 5 rounds.

BUMP

Yep, that's what I was meaning. He has been selected at centre on merit not thrown in there due to injuries.
