Is that more reason to get onto Moses?

If moses scores 65 how much does he outscore your starting HLF by compared to the 20 points Bird outscores Roberts by most likely?

Starting halves are Cleary and Munster so probably not that much at all. That's why I like the Bird trade. Moses would most likely be on my bench instead of Walker.

I'd go Mitchell to Turbo and Liddle to Peachey. Next week you could grab Simpkin and Verrills for Moylan and Glenn. It's a pretty good team you have for first season, mine was tragic

Thanks for the advice mate. Tough decision this week.
I moved to QLD from NSW/VIC border so my lack of NRL knowledge is a bit of a hindrance haha. Appreciate the help that people have given me though.

Need a WFB with Pap out.

Would you trade.

Pap to Ponga
OR
Niu to Hampton ( hold onto Pap)

Not sure how long Pap's shoulder injury will linger or affect performance. Origin is also coming up.

Cheers Guys

100% Dylan Brown. Seen the video unfortunately

BREAKING: @NRL_Dragons Trent Merrin has announced his immediate retirement. “I have outgrown the game and the game has outgrown me.” @telegraph_sport

Big Boy Alvaro's minutes are going to remain good.

There are people who have done worse and gotten less punishment, but he certainly deserves some time out of the game.

Totally agree. Questionable decision but this isn’t the Supreme Court. Discretion has been well used as he needs a good punishment to maybe learn to grow up and get the grubbiness out of his game. Great footballer, just play the game without being a grubby knobhead.

On another note, out goes Fatrell and Riki for Moses and Hamstrings. Shuster to edge. Walker to emergencies ‘til he shows some form. Moses and Cleary halves now. I like that. Cheers, Slug.

Maybe the Mcguire signing made Merrin retire cause Griffin couldn't guarantee him a spot in the 17 each week. Seems weird he'd retire now anyways no?

Well said Slug.

I do like the Crichton/Herbie option over grabbing Turbo. Get a centre I can play over Roberts who can fill in at WFB when needed. Like others have said, Laurie is doing fine. I don't want a fourth WFB on the bench.

Dodged all of the injuries at WFB, just need to use Roberts to cover Momo for a few weeks.

Already have Simpkin. Trying to decide whether to trade in Curran or Verrills. Curran is more urgent due to his BE however I'm worried he may get switched to the bench on gameday. Even if he starts and gets 50-60 minutes he should still make plenty of more at his price. Anyone got any idea if he has locked down that spot?

Would be a great week to ton up Teddy

How’s everyone’s back five looking? Mine:

Peachey Roberts
Tedesco Laurie Hampton

Momo and Papi in the EMG

Peachey Bird
Teddy Turbo Laurie

Pappy/Roberts in npr

Probably one of the stronger ones going around mate

I considered going Momo to Bird on mine but talked out of it. Just save the trade and play Roberts and hope he does something
