You must be glad you got on the two Souths guys, don’t think many took that risk

So much for the back muscle injury

The two souths guys are who I added in for a laugh- just a bit of a "what if" I don't think I can get them now the horse has bolted with Host/Arrow looming

Cheese to Preston probably my only trade this week.  Who is your main hooker?

Best in the business - Tanah Boyd

I know I'm not the only one in this situation

Would be very close, it`s either him or Ponga.

If Ponga is fit I believe they will stick with him.

At the very least, with the head knock history, they would carry Walsh on the bench in case.

I wouldn`t of thought so.

Running Grant/Hunt and it`s origin so the 3 forwards are pretty important.

He could be 18th man

I've come up with a better idea for my trades this week - Boyd and Ford to Mahoney and Sloan.

This lets me keep E Butcher who should at least score decently, and I can reassess next week with his bye coming up. Ford still has money to make but that low score will put a brake on him for the next 2-3 weeks.

Leaves me $24k bank and the following side

Mahoney
Haas, Murray, HopGOAT
E Butcher, E Katoa
Doueihi, Trindall
Bird, Alamoti
Hammer, Walsh, Miller

Loiero, Carty, Preston, Cleary (looper)

I Katoa, Warbrick, Sloan, Talau

Well done getting onboard, don’t think anyone really mentioned him here the past 2 weeks much

Has done really well and enough to make JD happy deserves a bench spot.

Nice one. Love your style POD style with both under 5% owned
Both playable for a cheap buy in and average 45pts a week with mostly base stats
Give you mid and edge cover, have made 100k and both have a BE of 0 so more cash to make still
Have fun as you say

Thoughts on Robson vs Mahoney?

Mahoney probably represents better value, but I'm still a bit gunshy about him being a keeper rather than this being a form blip.

Robson you probably get what you pay for in terms of value, but is definitely a keeper, plays R13, and has a good upcoming draw for attacking stats which we know he loves.
