The only thing I think that could come into ones thinking for waiting on Fifita is they are playing the Storm.  Although, it probably won't mean anything to Fifita.

Yeah originally my plan was to wait a week but cash flow being cut short and Fifita actually having a lowish BE for a gun (39 on MTB's site) means I'm taking no chances

yes i am already thinking about next years fantasty season lol

I'd say if you don't have at least the first six rounds of 2020 trades in a spreadsheet you're not really trying.

Smith
McInnes
Taupau
Mahoney

To’o
Walters
Carrigan
Brittain

Not much else to do this week right?

Maybe one more move To’o to Burns possible? That 18-21 would worry me after an origin
In fact with SJ and Ponga you might want to look more at a WFB/HLF. Drinkwater probably the best of them

39, oh shit.  That might change things.

Small correction, his BE is 42. Probably doesn't make much difference.

Cowboys will take BS9 off your hands

Robson, Granville, Baptiste and BS9.... greedy much.





Disclaimer: Robson has not been made official. Was lots of solid talks earlier in the year but not much since.

"Dragons rookie hooker Reece Robson is a done deal at North Queensland.

The only reason the Cowboys haven't announced his lucrative signature is because they don't want to destabilise the current hookers Jake Granville and Kurt Baptiste." via Sporting News in May.

Was also an article there about Robson actually signing with the Cowboys in April. Maybe explains why they couldn't go all out for DWZ and had to wait for the much cheaper Drinkwater.

NRL.com saying Rabbitohs are set to be boosted by the return of Surgess and club debut for Sua.

Fitzgibbon ruled out for 5 weeks with ligament damage in the elbow. Guerra? Mata'utia?

AJ also at a 50/50 chance.

Surgess is so cheap.

Be interesting what Morris does with SJ now that flanno isn't facing suspension. Moylan has a hamstring issue as well.

wolfking wrote:If Surgess is injury free, his scores should increase, one would think.

May be a poor mans 17-19th man, at under 500K and DPP. Should finish up around a 45-50 point average I would reckon.

WT and Liddle working on a two year deal

With Gurgess out for the remainder Tatola or Knight could be a decent POD.

Ironically he took SJ off not because of his form but because of the possibility of a penalty goal yet SJ has the best goalkicking percentage out of the 3 HLFs and probably would have been the most likely to create something out of nothing to provide a chance to win
