Yes, these plus Sherwin please.

Absolute carnage - only have one player on the bye and down to 16 pre-trades. Was really hoping to punt some losers and instead likely in triage.

Finally, the Sam variety of Thaiday arrives. It's seemed ridiculous, waiting on someone who'll probably score around 30, but glad to finally get rid of one of my red dots!

Yes, curious about Purtell too. He, and centres particularly, are doing my head in, but I am looking at a scenario where I hold him in favour of bigger issues. I think I can finally put him in my npr but I now miss out on this Tame guy all you folk are mad keen on.

Shite with Purtell & Sherwin out I can only field 16 players. Mind you even with Purtell fit & in my 17 it's like playing with 16 anyway haha.

Adrian Purtell - 1 week, back in round 6
Jerome Ropati - hamstring, back round 7
Anthony Laffranchi - mystery ailment 2-3 weeks
Brent Sherwin - Hand injury, due back round 11

Manu Vatuvei - hamstring, due back round 10

Hmm probably have to keep Laffranchi if he'll be back for next set of double rounds. Might have to keep Wiki even though he'll likely drop another 100k to field an actual half acceptable team

Yep, similar to my thinking. I'll be playing 15 in round 5 and I was about to rearrange players to get rid of cheap players not playing, but thought fuck it. I'll stick with higher end trades this week because I'm only losing about 28 points having my cheap shitkickers not play, and hopefully I make those points up by trading out higher end shitkickers for better scorers. Of course they'll now score 14 this week too.

Just a note to everyone. I'm punting Matt Bowen this week, so if you want to hop on a sure thing for a double century over the weekend, he's your man.

Justin Hodges in for Chris Flannery
Tame Tupou in for Brent Sherwin

Snap.

Todd Carney starting in the halves for the Raiders. He's pretty cheap at 469k. Any takers, he could be my Sherwin replacement.

He was on my hit list this week

And yes, thanks for keeping us all sane Milchcow!

Oh cool. I didn't even notice that. I've actually had him from the start and had him pencilled in as a possible trade out soon. Guess I can direct my attention elsewhere for now regarding Carney. I think I'll be bidding farewell to Michael Monaghan instead.

I'm interested as a starter. Definitely.

I have my heart set on JT though. Gasnier I feel i've missed the boat, but Thurston is just so reassuring to see sitting in halves. if i can get Toddy as well, absolutely will, but need to raise some funds.
