Verrills is a gift from the fantasy gods. The ideal rd 17 cashout with good js and a solid backup scorer if you have a few injuries

Are they tears?

Yeah if he can stay fit, then get fit, then start and be locked in for 60+ mins, he might go alright for Rd 17 I guess.

100% tears bro lol

Tough call but I’d probs leave Peachey out but it’s a tight call.

Tolman averaging 50 since starting last 6 rounds

I think I’d keep Macca but it’s a very tight call.

He will be back starting before too long mate. He’s held in very high regard at Easts. He just needs to stay fit.

Yeah mentioned him earlier. Not bad for the price.

Just about made the mistake of not putting the C back on Cleary, glad I double checked.

Warning for everyone else.

I can't get Avocado without ripping my team apart unfortunately. Only way I'd consider it is if Jones has a blinder and I can trade Matto to him, playing CHN.

I already have Papali’i, Harris, Crichton, Brailey, Mahoney, Cleary, Fogarty, Tedesco and Trbojevic as keepers and I can’t find any others that are too appealing to me other than DCE and FIfita. The rest are all either going badly or are just scoring where the y are priced and for most they aren’t doing that consistently

Said a few weeks back, always works his way back into starting side. Jackson slightly appealing again also

Surely he can’t keep it up the next 4 weeks look very hard for them.

I think my heart is set on max trading mate. I need to start trying to make moves otherwise I’m cooked.

DCE and Tohu look like coming in for me. Verrills too and maybe Olakau’atu I haven’t actually done my trades yet.

Owned him for a couple of rounds and was kind of content, despite the 30 in the belting of Titans.

BUT!

Something was brought to my attention this week as team lists dropped, and just now I consulted the records to see if it lined up. And it does. I'd forgotten Hamlin-Uele existed until I saw him in the reserves this week, and since R8, when he got injured, Tolman's scores have increased handsomely.

So I now find myself in the position where if Hamlin-Uele was named tomorrow night I'd actually consider moving Tolman on. But all reports are he's still a week away. I'd probably still hold at least one week with them both there, but this new piece of the puzzle makes me nervous.

Brisbane will start rookie Teui Robati at lock, with Tom Flegler benched. Paix gets the bench nod ahead of Palasia (who is 18th man), same as last week.

Souths have opted for Blake Taaffe on the bench who'll debut, with Braidon Burns 18th man. The starting 13 is as named.

Pangai will actually play lock, Robati edge.

Hmmmmmm

Olakau’atu

Paix onto interchange. Makes Turpin a trade, right?

Current trades are Laurie, Alvaro and Watson -> Simonsson, Marzhew and Fifita Leaves me with

Brailey
Harris Papali’i Crichton
Fifita CHN
Cleary Fogarty
Burd Birton
Hynes Trbojevic Tedesco

Walsh Croker Peachey Simonsson
Marzhew Mahoney Verrills Schuster

+ 7 k and 9 trades

This leaves me with a gunner out team when Mahoney and Schuster return and cover for every position
