Reports on Fox Sports that the Chooks are gunning for B.Morris ( fixes that Fergo problem ).

One thing I'll say for them is that it seems very very rare to hear about the Roosters getting into bidding wars or overpaying players. Their cap certainly looks ridiculous but if none of those players are on a cent more than they should be it's possible especially with their TPA leverage.

ITs a very well managed cap that's for sure. So next year they've signed Crichton, upgraded Radley, Cordiner, Matterson, Butcher and Mitchell. Plus resigned Keary, Friend, Liu, Manu and Tetevano


and want to throw 600k at TPJ and sign ESLs best winger? Righto

Was secretly hoping SJ wouldn't be named for some unknown reason forcing a trade.

Any advice on what to do next with my team?

Smith
Fifita/Arrow
Taumalolo/Taupau/JTurbo
DCE/Cleary
Marsters/Aitken
Teddy/Ponga/TTurbo

Martin/Farah/Surgess/Cook
Tuala/Katoa/Lewis/Brimson

23K in the bank, 8 trades left.

Thought about upgrading Cleary but now sure who to. Not sure what to do really.

That's a great team with 8 trades left. Does downgrading Tuala give you enough for someone like Reynolds or Milf?

Yeah Tuala was my thought for the downgrade. I have trust issues with Milf but Arey might be an option. Thinking I might see how Cleary does now that he is fresh

That's all you really need to do hey. If SJ was in form you would jump on him but realy Milf and ARey are the only two at the moment. Really, ARey is the only clear standout as halves go at the moment. Unless you take a punt on someone like Hunt, but might as well keep Cleary if you were going that way.

When is ponga set to come back?

Hiku benched and croker out I a real pain in the ball bag.

I was using Hiku as cover for ponga. Do I use a trade to drop hiku and bring in Mitchel or Turbo?

Back five looks like this

Aitken Cotric
Teddy, Hiku (ponga), Rapana.

No more cover.

Looking like next week.

What an uneventful TLT.

Ponga still out and wishing I sold S’ua instead of TPJ last week. When’s Gillett back, almost tempted to buy back TPJ instead of Kikau

Going to holeloop Kikau through Ponga. If he scores 30 odd might put Fainu over him

Also with what Paul Green said he is either a big liar or Clifford is coming in late

If I want JTurbo I need to punt Lewis for a 212K player.  Thinking Tom Wright.  Wonder if there is a chance he holds the spot for the year now that the Sea Eagles season is done. I know not likely with Walker back in and Hodkinson looming, but he could easily go back to centre perhaps.

Gillett won't be fit before finals I thought?

There's an uncropped version in Thread 51

Does Fainu keep his 80 min role? Would love to play him this week after seeing what he could do last week

My team currently has two red dots and two green dots capable of filling a wfb role.

Is there a way to get an EMG in that is not a WFB and I field 17. Is that loopholing? im soo out of the loop. See what I did there? ill stop now.

Cotric back on the wing. Abbey f/b & Oldfield ctr.

I'm playing Aitken over Cotric now:

Cook (c)
Fifita, James
Jurbo, Taumalolo, Martin
DCE, A-Rey
Mitchell, Aitken
Tedesco, Turbo, RTS

Smith, McInnes, Taupau, Arrow
L. Lewis, Cotric, Holland, Doueihi
