That's a fucking strong team mate.

Except 3 of my final 17 are currently injured, and I only have 1 trade to deal with them.

Compared to community team (who I think are a decent yardstick), they'll have Brooks, I'll have Cleary. I have to play Ponga, SST and AFB, Community can afford to drop 1 of them.

I don't think I can bring myself to trade in Brooks. Much better options the week after.

Second option. To'o gives decent backup for R17 at least.

Thanks guys. Going with second option makes it nigh on impossible to bring Fifi back in though with only 3 trades and minimal cash. Go ahead with it or just forget about Twal?

I struggle with this, you see the Munsters/DCEs etc who you would back to go better but he's been really consistent this year has Brooks and does play the extra game

Low score of 32, last 2 games bought his avg under 50 which might be skewing the view on him

His R16 points especially if he goes over his average might out weigh waiting on someone with a higher avg.

All a re-set point really in top 17 players after bye and origin. They need to maintain their seasons average to this point

Feeling good

Final team will be (with 5 trades left for Fainu/Watson):

Cook
Haas, Fifita
Murray, Tolo, Matterson
SJ, Moses
Bateman, Nikora
Ponga, Teddy, RTS

CS9, McInnes, Fainu, Twal

Watson, Papy, Xerri, Walters

12 for this round, rank 101

Nice team mate, good luck for the run in

Is Teddy likely to play Round 17?

Are people assuming that the guys that play Friday/Saturday will be rested?

Community team captain

Plus a bump for our cashout poll

If anyone is interested Renegades have an eliminator starting this round 16:

Code = AXKAJL57

It's an interesting discussion as people will probably be relying on poor players if Teddy is out

IMO I don't think Teddy gets rested having been rested in R14 and with Roosters now sitting 3rd (4 points between 2nd and 9th) but who knows what goes on in Robbo's mind

As for the other teams, probably going to be loads of late changes (Knights having 4 Origin players + Ponga, probably going to see Cook + Brittain on bench)

Do we have to put RNGD before team name to participate?

Its an interesting one. I feel as though he won't be rested. But Robinson has made a point in the last year or so of focusing on getting the team right for the run to the finals. If he's in that mindset, then resting Teddy seems kind of logical, despite the tricky ladder situation.

The 4 day week i brought up a couple weeks back which led to much intriguing discussion here has been approved !

Today being Thursday, is now my Friday!

I'm bringing in Burns, RTS and Drinkwater regardless so should be able to cover if Teddy and Ponga are out, I hope

Best ten weeks of your life. Cherish it.

Hadn't thought of him, not a bad POD. I might get him, since he probably averages about as much as Mahoney does but with the extra game. Only risk is that he gets suspended often

EDIT: I'm doing it, might as well POD up. I'm in 181st overall and trying to gain ground on the top teams, and Lodge could be a massive play for me. If both Tevaga and Lodge come off, it could have the same effect as Wighton did

Is Lodge the new Super POD?

You must have the RNGD tag. Same as jamming a butt plug up your arse really.

Is Tex Hoy going to be added today? I see he plays fullback also, potential for hlf/wfb dpp?
