Projected what I want my forward pack to look like in my team tracker just before/immediately after R17 and there's no space for sub-mid middies (i.e. CHN and SST).

I plan to be forward heavy in rd17 and a couple of guys like CHN or SST can be the ones traded to Fifita and Pappy/Turbo afterward if they're not cutting the mustard. How else do you get your post origin guns in?

I've brought in Johnson. Probably wise to do the opposite of me

Fifita has the Friday game after origin 2, slim chance of backing up. Does he even play this week with the headknock?

You don't think Fifita backs up five days after origin 2?

So, quite a few will have Walsh, Schuster, Cleary and TTrbo (I have three of them) as well as more regulation red dots. Will leave a lot crossing fingers on Ted, Fifi, Haas etc to play 17.

Didn't realise game 2 was on a Sunday! Fifi in for me this week

How long is Schu out for mate? I wanted to keep for R17

I can get rid of Fog/Starling/Watto/Lodge for Fifi/Tohu

Schuster supposedly next week.

Must've meant origin 3, Titans play Friday Rd 18.

Origin 3 will be a dead rubber. NSW can play their U-21s so should be an easy gallop for Fifi

Holding Schu for 17

Lodge - Tohu
Fog - Fifi

playing Kelly

He was supposed to be this week though... (Fwiw I think he's a season-long hold, just hope Manly aren't playing silly buggers like they have with Sironen)

Down to 15 pre trades

Is it worth holding Starling because he's a green dot this week and removing To'o & Gamble, or just taking hit and potentially getting more with 16 starters rather than 17 players including a bench HOK

Would someone be able to look into my mess of a team in my team tracker

Solid trades. Never a bad time to get Fifi. I'm gonna wait until after rd17 and do some couch hiding in the interim.

Lodge is interesting. Was thinking he still had money to make but it’s only really 10-20k. If you were trading one of Fog or Lodge, who would go first? Fog for high BE?

running late this week on community team trades because of origin and me being slack.

for me. Big thanks to big Tui who's done a great job knocking out 40s since the start of the season and never getting injured. Have a rest, big man. Moses, you can fuck off. It might be sideways but I can't bear to watch you tipping it on to Gutherson any more. Take some responsibility, man.

Lolo or Fifi for Laurie next week. Lolo would be the sensible play but Fifi FOMO could be strong.

If I still had him I'd probably still consider him a season hold (I did before I sold him, avg over 50 with very useful dpp, perfect for position 17/18/19). Selling him to Fitzgibbon though has given me now three scores I wouldn't have got without the trade (rd12 when a late out, rd13 bye points, and rd14 post-bye carnage round.

Lodge

Fog chance of a big score if Titans run rampant and he takes his KM back

Might have to wait on Fifi now, Fog - Fifi means I don't play one of Turpin/Brailey/Ford/CHN who are probably stronger plays than starting Kelly and keeping Fog

Maybe I should use second trade to get a R17 half like ARey or SJ and wait for CHN/Ford/Turpin to earn more $$ before then going to Fifi

Thats the only thing that really worries me re: Jamal. He needs those KM to be a keeper. But the fact that he's scored 60+ in 7/13 games this season is definitely something worth paying heed to.

haven't seen any interest in Lussick as a cheap cashout.  Normally a $228k starting hooker, even with questionable job security, would have people frothing.  

is it because Mahoney's prognosis is uncertain? Or because even if he got that far, he doesn't play round 17? Or because of his NSW cup stats (which look OK, other than nine missed tackles last week against the Knights  )?
