Think the next update is after R12 mate.

No, is after round 13 this season

This week I'm taking the Gamble of trading in Crossland.
Also getting that manu fella that no-ones is talking about.

I'm getting belted up in my work comp and need a bit of a leg up.

Would you (C)leary or Ni(C)o? I have both, but not much else apparently. Opponent will go Nico i believe so could cover that, but Chin might go large in the Souths challenge.

Thoughts?

Nico if you think you’re ahead. Cleary for a pod

Honestly, before Brailey got the season-ending injury I was keeping an eye on Crossland, he was doing some good things, I felt the coach trusted him for a variety of roles.

I have brought him in, and expect he will get 35-42 and play 60-65 minutes.

I might be wrong, but that's my gut feeling.

I just don't like Host 60 minute EDG even at 377k - rather grab a hooker playing 60.

Centre roulette gets people every year.

Great that RTS is coming back. Warriors will be buzzing… including CNK.

We’ve just spent all arvo talking about a 5/8 taking less money to play CTR at a better team.

But CNK will be sad to play alongside RTS because… he maybe has to move to CTR… in what will be a better team?

Agree mate

He’s a hold for me. Until at least Origin. Even then assuming NULL holds his spot, you can basically cover CTR between Bird, NULL and Alamoti thru all the byes.

Katoa 36

Alamoti 32
Niko 27

Belated thanks. Be pretty stoked if that’s their scores.

At the moment I’m looping Ala and the Brick, but could make it Katoa and Brick instead

Fwiw I made the same trade so I could afford Carty to Manu

I’ve come around to the dark side and think I will be doing the same trades

Figure being able to lock in my back 7 until I get Hynes* and get a net positive to my scoring 17 as playing Alamoti should be worth it (+ Host as R13 option)

*Don’t smite me fantasy gods

Lemuelu
Charnze (good average vs Melb surprisingly)
Host (maybe shouldn't be trading him in if going to leave him out)

I think you've answered your own question at the end there.

I traded out Null, had a massive mid weakness looming.

The only issue for me with Null was his 16 MT and scores of 34-36 last 3 games. And the fact I will most likely grab Manu next week to slot beside Bird, Alamoti beat out Null for my 3rd CTR cover.

No thanks.

4th FB to start for Tigs in as many weeks.

Hope the lad smashes it, but I will watch first.

Plus they have so many back options still sniffing about in the 30.

TU: Captain Turbo against Tigers
TD: Captain Hynes against Dogs

What are peoples thoughts on TPJ as a JDB alternative?

Duel is nice, slightly cheaper and think he grows his mins and role as he gets more match fit
