As long as he is defending next to Ash Taylor and Cartwright I see a lot of traffic coming that way

Aekin/AFifi into Katoa/Kapow.

Why Kapow? Jurbo and AFB are back and there are some good value options in the front row.

What are people’s thoughts on Aekins?

Will he get 80 minutes this week or will Crichton spend some time at fullback again?

Flegler is a decent pick up if you're fixing holes, but he isn't a must imo due to JS. ie no point making sideways trades to get him.

No need to grab every money maker, a new one will come along every other week.

I thought you thought my idea Williams to Isaako was a bad idea.

Really tempted by Stimson to Watkins and Shiba EMG. Never wanted Stimson and they still rubbishing him on Bulldogs forum plus saying he gets rubbish service because of Lewis

yeah I am going to pass on Isaako. No way to bring him in that isn't sideways as all fuck (I can't afford Williams to Isaako though, its a bit more tempting, especially as I know you were wary on Williams prior to lock out)

Just read that Lomax ran a total of 10.1 kilometres per Telstra Tracker data, the most of any player in Round 1.

Wish he was holding the ball for any of that... :/

What is more important??

Stimson to Katoa

or

Musgrove to Katoa

Musgrove and Stimson my only real two possible outs this week. Not keen on holding Stimson and Musgrove is meh.

Which option would be best?

A: Hess + Aekins > Katoa + Hughes

B: Wakeham > Flegler (play Walters in the halves)

C. Hold trades for a week

Are you serious? Ran for 55m (with the ball), less than Aekins.

Really hard to give advice without seeing your team to know how it impacts scoring

This is a very important point. You don't need to get every single cow, there will be more later in the season

I'm not saying Grant won't be first choice but do they chuck him straight in when he hasn't played with the team or give him a week or two where time is more split?  I know I'm just trying to justify my decision.

I only started with Walters in SC because he's dirt cheap, bias towards Tigers and more importantly I figured this Storm trade had stalled.

With the trade looking more likely (depending on this Momirovski contract situation), I've made moves to raise the cash to flick Walters next week or tentatively hold on a week-by-week basis.

Granted we can only have 2 HKs in SC, but NRLF's reduced squad size makes it hard to justify trading him in with questionable JS imo.

There are also limited spots for players that you may not want to play every week, need to pick the right ones to occupy those spots.

117K ITB

Trying to pick based off job security so ignoring Flegler & Hors. Second option leaves me 117K ITB & I can just flick Musgrove to Grant next week if necessary. I'm leaning towards the first one because Stimson got the minutes I wanted, but it seems a bit silly to keep Stimson in my 17 with Katoa right there...

Second option also lets me go Drinkwater into the halves next week if Walters is gone.
