Why are you getting rid of Tevaga after 1 week?

Do you reckon I can do it any other way? Perhaps move on Nikora and Brailey instead ? i have 149 itb

I think he might go down again honestly.

For context i got rid of Fifita and i think i can turn Fainu into him in a few weeks. I have 7 trades.

Before trades

Cs9
Kapow Haas
Taumalolo Jrbo Murray
Pearce Brooks
Batman Nikora
Teddy RTS Ponga


SJ
Cm9
Tevaga
Host

B Brittain
Garrick
Coates
BBrailey

I could put Garrick and Coates in and make 17 (providing Pearce plays)

Might just wait for tomorrow to make my trades but i have the day off and i make poor trade decisions at home.

I'm thinking about getting rid of him and keeping Xerri but not 100% sold on it.

I'm not sure what you mean. Martin is named at lock etc

Edit, NOOOOOOO!

Is Patrick Herbert injured at the Warriors or just dropped? Didn't see his name on the Fox Sports injury list.

Asking because I'm looking at Gerard Beale as someone who can play WFB this week and cover CTR if Bateman or Nikora get a 1 week layoff for any reason.

20 points for a week is better than nothing lol

Official line is that he's injured - did a hammy at captains run last week. Unofficial line is that it might be to do with his domestic assault charges from earlier this year. I wouldn't bring in Beale, very slim chance he'll play more than 1-2 games.

I'll hold if it's not a long injury (need more detail). Frankenstein isn't going to hold his place, so Yeo back to 2rf when Martin fit.

The man himself labelling himself a “certain starter” against the Dogs.

I like this.

Britain + Host > 212k + Twal

The other option would be to sell Pearce or Murray if they don’t back up and get Fifita/Cook this week instead

I can’t get Bateman in I don’t think without messing up my team. Burns or Xerri as budget keeper?

Id rather keep Murray and Pearce especially if they back up. You dont think I can turn Fainu to Fifi in a few weeks? I had him last year when koro went down and im certain he will be a 50pt player over the next few weeks.

That’s another good option as well

If Pearce and Murray don’t back up, will you hold or sell?

Murray hold Pearce sell

Murray floor 39 ave 54

Pearce Floor 16 Last 3 ave is 28.

With burgess out i think he can benifit with more mins and i reckon they will move Surgess up front Tatola and Knight wont win them a comp

Almost set on going Horsburgh + Mann > Drinkwater + Stockwell. Leaving me with 132k.

Yeo would be great to get in but I just don't have enough cash for him so I'm opting for Stockwell as he is starting and only sets me back 212k. Drinkwater appeals to me as he is a bit of a POD and gives me WFB and half cover, which I currently don't have.

My final team isn't looking too good so far... I don't have the option of offloading SJ now, can't get Fifita back in and my 18th man is almost certainly going to be Staggs.

After trades my team looks like this:

Cook
Twal, Haas
Jurbo, Murray, Taumololo
SJ, Munster
Nikora, Bateman
Drinkwater, To'o, RTS

McInnes, CS9, AFB, Staggs
Stockwell, Tedesco, Brittain, Walters

My final trade or two will be used to upgrade To'o at some point.

I'm currently just inside the top 4000 so I don't have anything to play for really but getting under 3k would be nice...

Murray’s last 3 games have been 44, 44, 32 for a 3 game average of 40.
His minutes have also been down in the last fortnight. Murray hadn’t got below 50 minutes for the entire season before round 14. His average minutes for the year rounds 1-13 had been 61.1.
The previous two weeks Murray played 42 minutes in both games. This is well down on his usual minutes he’s been getting this season. It leads me to believe Souths might be trying to ease him through the remainder of the season so he’s fresh for finals.
That being said, I am holding him for the moment unless he is rested this week. If he doesn’t play on the weekend then he will become Klemmer

Gonna be running this mob;

Smith, Cook, McInnes
Fifita, Haas, Taupau
Lolo, Matterson, Crichton, JFH
Reyno, Watson
Bateman, Nikora
RTS, CNK, Hughes

Garrick, Deardon, Brittain, Clark

143rd now. 5 trades left and $98k. Ted or Ponga in next week. Tossing up between Smith, Fifi, Lolo for (C).

NB: The bunnies will win by 20+ this week. Get on, but bet responsibly lads.

Since when is this a fantasy thread? Need a huge knock from smith and Carey here

Bout time a relevant post. Aus 14/3
