I'd do that to be fair. I'm a few K short myself.wolfking wrote:Still kinda tempted to trade Carty even if he does start. Being able to do him to Manu in a single trade is actually really enticing.

Horse getting 70 minutes is a killer for Tapine.

I think both options score pretty much exactly the same (TPJ 50-55 + Alamoti 30-35 VS Manu 50-55 + IKatoa 30-35)
I would assume Manu regresses somewhat from a 69 (nice) average at 5/8 given the attacking stats in the 4 game sample size (4 tries, 5 TA, 3 LB, 4 LBA, 2 games with 14 & 15 TBs for 8 average)
Edit: Can’t afford Manu in 1 trade like TPJ, guess it won’t be Manu
Manu should always have been a 6 for Roosters, don't see his attacking stats being much less than that. Was always wasted at CTR.

Of course there are incentives. That doesn’t change the fact that they are doing the right thing by the game without being forced to. If other teams did the same thing the game would be in a better position.
I actually agree in some respect. I think every single team should take one game a season to a rural/regional area to grow the game (without the incentive of financial benefit). However, this doesn't take away from the fact that in this instance, Parramatta, are only taking this game to Darwin based purely on the financial windfall of this. I'm saying if there was no major financial flow on affect from this one week to the NT, there is no way they would take a home game there and as such this should not be masked as a generous offer from Parramatta to "grow the game". Purely financial gain, plain and simple.

Not fantasy-related, but I feel sorry for Arthurs, straight swap with Oates makes sense, but he’s arguably been our best outside back in the games he’s played and it’s a shame there’s no room for him

Yeah, really liked him at the Warriors, is fairly consistent

Early trade in thoughts are Manu, JDB and NAS.

Average of 42 at LK minus the injury game, so not much value I don't think.. coupled with the Mr Fixit role.

Great shout on NAS Mattnz. I had this guy from RND1 and he was doing great in the first two games until mid way through RND 2 when he had that injury. The guy was on 51 points from the first 31 minutes before going off injured! Definite POD, just a pitty he has a BYE next week followed by another Bye 4 weeks later. One to definitely consider though if you are throwing up the likes of TPJ or Manu for a Carty swap.

Didn't see the game last week but assumed he spent some time at HKR as well with Brailey out (could be completely wrong)

Yeah, the byes for NAS suck, but he is likely the cheapest that he gets and can put up an 80 now that Bellamy finally knows what to do with him, attacking on the EDG.

Think I'm still probably going Carty and Carrigan out, JDB and Fifita in.
Not keen to fuck around with Carty being a late benching.

Yeah, Craig Bellamy. Clueless for so many years.

I'm keen on NAS but Matt wants him so he probably gets injured again

Manu is tempting but would fuck up my team balance, already having two gun centres (Bird, Hammer) and four WFBs (Miller, Turbo, Ted, Walsh). Keen to only use one trade this week with Katoa to JDB because I'm light on mids.
Could go Turbo to Manu I suppose but that seems stoopid so far away from Origin. Each as likely as the other to crack out something huge.

Can also go
Carrigan, Carty, Alamoti out
JDB, Manu, NAS in which makes things feel pretty balanced.
