Who is your back 5? Having to play HSS isn't ideal

Alamoti, HSS
Miller, Turbo, Sloan

+Warbrick

Will look more closely after TLT. but not really sure who I'd be targeting. Missed Lemuelu with bigger priorities, and don't think he's a trade in now?

Couple of trade out options with Trindall still in my team, and Uto/Carty probably getting near their peak.

Was intending to get Ford in this week (running no mid cover) and save the other trade, but HSS has been pretty stinky.

305k ITB, 28 Trades.

Team:

Judiciary from the weekend.

Dale Finucane 3-4 weeks
Marata Niukore 2-3 weeks
Jayden Okunbor 1-2 weeks
Douchebag Simonsson 2-3 weeks

What’s your rank now Chewie? (just quietly noticing you monstering it in our league)

rd1: 12075
rd2: 4573
rd3: 3415
rd4: 1070
rd5: 616 624

Yeah I'm having a good run, avoided major disasters and all my trades have worked out well so far.
Also started with Miller, and an early adopter of HTF, Carty, and SJ
Best start ever, hopefully I can stay near the top and use my bye planning prowess to get my highest finish
Still early days though

R2 helping out has been very beneficial

Open the shop ya bastards

I’m still not sure it’s worth getting Hynes if you already have Cleary and SJ your squad depth and balance will take a real hit and if you’re gonna play risky cheapies at 16th and 17th man have a weak EMG’s and a cheap WFB I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Wonder if warriors go with Curran on edge with Niukore out, or start Sironen

Bludgers Rd.5 1013, rank up to 2442.
Heading in the right direction. Grant, Murray, Hynes missing hurts.
Selecting Sutton instead of Ford at the start was a bust.
Carty-party is over. HSS can sit in Emg doing stuff all.
Trindall may have to wait around too. There may be an injury to Moylan.

Not sure. But need to stop double trading.

I think Ford or Loiero gained a point. Might be getting close to unlock.

Trade away!

Surely Curran comes in for him. Pretty cheap for what he can produce if he holds the spot somehow

Will be a while before we know if it was a good idea or not. I think I'm going for it even though I have Cleary, as I think Hynes will have the highest average at the end of the year and I love watching him play (less so as a non-owner).

Probably should work out the squad balance consequences of doing that, but I'm not going to.

I went up 1 with Loiero and not Ford.

Any idea why Preston is listed as injured? I don't recall anything.

I think he split webbing on his hand and had it stitched at half time

Ah yes someone did mention that thanks. Hopefully doesn't see him miss any time.

Shop is open

Carty up to 34. Pretty sure he was 33.

This week has selection headache written all over it. Trading Sutton down to Nikorima might be my best play

Yeah was looking at him too.. thought one of Ford or Loiero was 42, but could be wrong.

Hands went up a point too, so was probably Carty in the Thurs game.

Could do Carty to Matterson but it kills my Hynes fund

Yeah wasn't Ford. It was someone I don't own - Loiero makes sense, although that breaks the run of Thurs night updates on Monday morning

EDIT: newer posts suggest Carty, who I also don't own and is Thurs night

yep and Tapine down to 47 from 48
