Fair enough. I'd be down for that.

Mouthwatering.

I do think Young goes big tonight though.

I’ve gone Crichton atm, Young is an interesting option though

I'm tempted to trade in Young just to get it over with...as is the Aardvark tradition, I'm heading away for the last weekend of the season to a spot with dodgy reception so any loops or late outs could lead to very minor disaster

I'm guessing a burrow in the Sahara Desert for 500 points?

That's a fair enough reason mate to be fair.

Can’t happen yet he’s in NZ and they’re in lockdown so we can’t get the jersey to him. It will happen in pre season early new year.

I can video it maybe but I wouldn’t know how to upload it on here. I’ll just give you guys the heads up when it happens so you can watch on the Facebook live stream.

It's not going to happen mate.

It's usually jersey 2 against 5 right? So To'o should be against Dunster

Thanks for that.

Fergo got dumped for Dunster because of defensive issues, but then Dunster is a rookie. So there’s probably no bad matchup there.

Still dunno if Too has as much upside as Paps. In fairness he probably has less down side too

I like Young and Crichton, but would have to trade Murray, who still has a 0.000001% chance of playing so don’t want to do that

As much as well all want it, I don't think they'll increase squad size.

I am betting that its too much coding effort and they won't want to spend the money
Especially when they can just set max-trades=38 for a 2 minute effort.

Think this is very likely true. Also, 23-man squad would fundamentaly mean two extra cash cows which would mean greater likelihood of everyone picking the same cows to start the season, as well as the increased looping detailed previously. It's a tricky balance which they might feel is best addressed by doing nothing (except taking the two minutes to code for extra trades)

It will he is not allowed to host shows on green room come trials and come round 1 next year until he does it.

Yep won't happen.

I think I need to bring in Crichton with his MID dual. Gives me the best chance of playing 17 this week on the off chance that Avo, Papalii, Murray or Ramsay suit up. He's a solid enough trade in but it's a bit annoying because I really wanted to take a punt on Young.

Raiders to butcher it tonight.

Hope that helps you make a decision

Surely a lot of people had avo and bird for a large portion of the year didn’t need to waste trades there?

Had them all year, made 2 trades on centres at the end of the year roberts -> Billy smith -> feagai just as backups

A larger squad gives me more chances to choose the wrong player.

Sounds perfect.

Davey... but no one could've seen that coming.

Leniu, Lam, O'Sullivan, Simonsson
