Teddy pretty unlikely to play this week though right?

Probably. Sorry I'd be getting Teddy the following week instead of RTS. Would also mean either waiting or passing on DCE. Probably not an easy answer to this.

Titans probably look like this

1 Thompson
2 Don
3 Kelly
4 Peachey
5 Pearson

That is of course if Sami is out, he has a cork and should be right to play this week according to NRL.COM. Roberts confirmed to be back this week as well, not really sure how he fits in, probably fb cover for Thompson if he fails HIA protocols

If he does get a start I'd be holding off a week or two anyway.. Copley is due back this week or next.

You’re probably right but there’s an article circulating on Facebook saying he will be named so just posting what I’ve seen. Titans have nothing to lose why keep going back to the same trash that haven’t won them anything in 3 years

Shawn Blore set to make debut this weekend for Tigers
Huge wraps on him at Panthers

I don't disagree with you, but there needed to be some balance put up here  haha.

The rumour was posted by the "nrl fantasy brothers" page.

Titans wouldnt have even had a training session yet this week so firmly a rumour for now.

If you can afford it I would trade Paix out before Luai. Luai will hang around his price for the next few weeks, Paix is about to start bleeding cash

Let me have a quick look at what I can do........

Paix > Greg/Herbie
Turbo > Pearce (90k), JTurbo (9k)

With the Warriors playing second gives me a chance to see if I need a 2RF or not. If Katoa is good then I’m good to go Pearce

Better?

Lets you grab the same guys this week with a slight cash advantage next week, much better I think

Team at end of round 6:

Grant
Haas, D Saifiti
Katoa, Horse, Lucy
Moses, Pearce
Ramien, Best
Turbo, Ponga, Pappy

Rudolf, J Saifiti, JTB, Brailey
S Crichton, HTF, Paix, Guler

19 trades, 96k ITB

Issues I see with current team:
- No 2RF cover is an issue in itself, but have had scares with both Katoa(still in doubt) and Lucy.
- Will have to start either SCrichton or HTF with Turbo out. TLT can answer that
- Paix as HLF cover is looking dicey and won't be making money much longer

Am I missing any issues? Which of these would you say needs addressed first? Have a few ideas on how to address, but not sure which is the biggest issue.

P.S. Does Mitch Dunn have decent JS? Why led to him scoring so well(for him) in the weekend? Thanks guys

Only problem, and it’s not a biggie is that I won’t be able to get JTurbo next week with one trade if I grabbed Pearce this week using Paix

Yes this made me smile too. Im sure would all love him to get a start, break 10 tackles, average 40+ and leap frog about 4 other players to be their starting winger

Priority I'd be looking at Turbo and Paix out this week, JSaifiti and Guler next week. Squad balance is a little off with too many props + they are all peaking at the same time

First week this year not owning Katoa has worked out alright for me. Down to no cover in either FRF or 2RF with Carrigan out so could be some carnage

Part of me wants him to miss a week as i can cover him. Can cover Carrigan with Rudolf. Could indeed be some carnage.

Plenty of squads with low depth due to trying to gun up too quickly, Katoa, Turbo and Carrigan out could see some very low quality replacements

You can ignore that entirely. The script runs at 6am daily which means the difference today is calculated before lockout was actually lifted.

I don't know why there is a slight difference in numbers though,  probably deleted teams, or people creating teams over the weekend.

(will be more accurate tomorrow)

With no Carrigan if Katoa is out I'm going to be a 2rf short. If I bring one in it needs to be a cheapie but can't see any options..

Wow...looking like a lot of people actually ripping their teams apart to fit Cook in. Could just be a lot of fucking around to see whats possible as well (no Trbo in the list either)

EDIT : Just saw MTBs post

.....I have to get rid of Ben Hampton this week. I know, I know, I shouldn't have picked him in the first place. Was tempted by that DPP and the thought of price rises.   So a cow in his position this week would be nice cos then I can replace Turbo with possibly Kyle Flanagan via Drinky and have money left over for next week.

Well if we're going to be making embarrassing confessions, I bought Euan Aitken this previous week lol

Saw a post here bringing him up. Looked at his average as a starting CTR was around 40 points and up against the Titans I thought why not I love a good POD.

I guess I'm stuck with him for now lol, he's still a better scorer than Crichton though.

Turbo + Paix + $239k = Not the players I want to bring in.

Might be Talau + Pearce

I'm hard hoping that Niu gets the Broncos FB gig this week.

Hard one but... Coates is playing well and Seibs doesnt seem to wanna drop his older players (Oates) to accommodate for Isaako
