OK this is my squad for the run home. No trades this week meaning I will potentially be short of 17 if we don't see Pearce/Ponga etc.

Cook
Fifita, Haas
Taumalolo, Murray, Taupau
Pearce, Brooks
Bateman, Nikora
Tedesco, Ponga, RTS

Smith, McInnes, SST, Johnson

Xerri, Maranta, Brittain, Coates

$71k and four trades. WFB the only position I may not have cover in if Coates doesn't get that wing spot, Maranta doesn't see anymore game time and Xerri doesn't get DPP.

Tevaga's probably injured mate. Best to wait until after origin to see how Cook, Murray, Pearce and Teddy pull up.

O'Sullivan's injury might not be serious, so not sure how long Paix would be around for.

Another gun SR so you can put Taupau on the bench for FR/SR cover would be good too.

I've seen some posts saying Dearden will be back this week. Not from any reputable sources, so no idea if people are just guessing. Thought he had a few more weeks myself.

Definitely back this week.

I traded him out

Broncos webaite still says round 20 as of the other days update

Hope this isn't your reputable source. It also said Roberts was injured for weeks.

Getting through Week 1 of the eliminator is irrelevant as I'll play VK in Week 2.

Cant see a way to get in any player over 600k unless i trade out fainu.
Didnt realise tevaga was injured could go with liam martin or tpj looks like he could be on a bit of a roll atm.. would love to get matterson or jurbo but just not enough cash.
If i did trade fainu would mean having to bring lomax into 17th man..

Good stuff mate!

I need Fifita back, but I don't know how. Any ideas;

Cook
Taupau Haas
Murray Tolo Bateman
SJ Ponga
Xerri Nikora
Teddy CNK RTS

Smith MC9 Mahoney Fainu

Watson Lomax Coates Brittain

6K and 6 trades. Cashing out Lomax and upgrading Watson seems the move, but will probably need Watson this week with Ponga more than likely out.

Looks fantastic mate. Love the site and the setup of the whole thing! Outdone yourself. Unfortunately, I have a bye this week and will be up against the winner of two users that I have never seen on this forum in my 2 years.

What are your thoughts on Xerri/Mahoney in your team? Surely Mahoney won't stay around all year? That is 4 HOK on your bench. Are you looking at keeping both Xerri and CNK for WFB/CTR coverage? Can you hold trades for a week and wait for all teams to be full strength? Knights play Friday night so thats a plus.

With any luck Paix will be named so you can cash out Lomax for Paix who you can play at half for Ponga and yep then Watson to Fifita. Alternatively Field/Nicholls/Walters should give you enough if they get another run with origin restings.

Assume Paix  will be on the extended bench on TLT, but he is due to play for QLD u20s on Wednesday, so we should get a strong indication of whether he would be a late in, if he is withdrawn from that match.
