    67 last week in another 60 minute effort for the Dragons? for 600k im kinda tempted

    I went Luke Thompson instead for a similar price, but McGuire has the advantage of playing R13

    Even if the Dragons do rotate their pack around a bit you'd think he can maintain a decent minute role

    I had Thompson as an option but just stuck with playing Stefano. I don’t think that is going to work anymore so maybe time to give the MID position a slight injection.

    I need to trade out Townsend and would either of the above be someone to keep for the rest of the season?

    Moses is the dominant half in his team and kicks goals, just lock him in. He is also himself a POD (2.9% owned in the top 1000), so going one of the other two doesn't really get you much of a POD play compared to him.

    Good question mate, I can just about get anyone not sure to save two trades or strengthen my squad and hope I avoid the carnage, but I will look into Hughes and Brown abit deeper - Cheers Slug.

    My pleas for Roberts to score over 10 for the past 3 weeks might have been optimistic. Please don't get dropped Roberts Sad

    I'm interested too with his DPP which is vital. He's been playing extremely well aswell so surely the 80 min edge spot is locked in for a bit...

    I made 177k, a big drop compared to the last few rounds (573k after rd 5, 348k after rd 6)

    Teddy has been the biggest cash loser since round 3 in my team

    Anyone know when Harry Grant might start and actually play big minutes? Really interested in him and as soon as I see him starting I think I am gonna pounce. He's shed quite a bit of cash which could continue if he is on the bench for a few more weeks.

    I need to hope Matt Moylan is only out a round to help my WFB lol

    That's like hoping for Jake Friend not to have thrown a forward pass or a Burgess not to drop a ball.

    After some advice ,I have been fortunate/lucky in not owning Teddy or Pappy and SOS my only red dot, have a decent bank so cash is no problem, would it be more prudent to save trades as I have been trading hard or just go for it and strengthen my squad and hope to avoid injury, SOS and LAM would be the sacrifices at this stage for Moses and Keaon. Thanks in advance.

    Hey guys - I noticed someone say Brian To'o could be in line for Origin - is this true?

    Im not familiar with the eligibility rules, but thought he was a Samoan representative and hence wasnt eligible.

    Cheers in advance

    @MTB on footystatistics it says that McGuire plays round 17, can you fix please? Thanks in advance

    Thank you.

    Begs the next question - how likely is he for an Origin call up? On the lookout for a round 13 playing WFB and To'o seems like he is as good as (perhaps better than) any...

    I got a feeling he will play. From what I heard Robbo brushed off the media when they raised a concern about his concussions saying it's his first of the year and said he was all good after the game. But you never know with Robbo and how he treats concussions.
