2 minutes though? lol

Haha I’ve been looking at who I can turn Chan into as another option and keep May. Like you said it’s hard getting rid of someone who plays 13 and is healthy

wolfking wrote:Anyone holding May?  I'm 50/50.  There's no real correlation between his 50 minute games earlier in the season to the few he's had 30 minutes or less.  Team sheet was just as stacked the first 4 rounds as it is now.  Really points to Robbo doing Robbo in rotating minutes around.  One of those situations where if you hold you have to take the 50 minute games along with the 25 minute games.  I know Whyte has come along as a player too which hasn't helped. Tough one.

gonna keep him for Round 13

Could perhaps loop him

Papy > Faalogo
Salmon > Matterson
Chan > DBrown

Keeps May and Cheese in the team and they have 4 weeks left before they can be moved on.

Willison owners, what are we doing?

Probably not a sell right? Keep for round 13 and then trade out?

Big call mate re Teddy on previous thread wow you think he might miss origin? If that were the case I’d be buying this week. Either I go Brimson or Teddy but I neee Teddy to not play origin.

Paps to Faalogo allows Cheese to Cleary. Have been stringing Cheese along for weeks and just want to be rid of him

Moses returning early, I don't see Brown as a buy.

I am getting foran, should score well the next few weeks and has massive upside if they prefer Campbell over Boyd when both are fit.

Yeah I just feel he's going to eventually miss origin, and I don't really see a better time than now with a new coach. Teddy isn't a spring chicken anymore, and certainly doesn't need to prove himself as one of the GOAT fullbacks. It's time we started looking to the future and getting guys like Edwards and Lomax some experience. Both those guys could easily play for the Blues at a high level for the next 5-6 years. Not certain it will happen, but I wouldn't be shocked to see either Madge or Teddy himself make that call this year.

Yes, might jump on Foran as well. Mentioned it just after TLT last night but nobody else took the bite

Brown was more best I could afford that plays 13. Not sure I’m overly keen on anyone else around that price

I'm two WFB/CTR short this week. I currently have the following pencilled in.

Pap > Garrick
Chan > Penis

Garrick trade is set, but Penis coming in is up in the air. The other options are Marzhew, Teddy, Fa'a, and maybe Whirlwind.

Each of those options presents their own challenges and would require more trades in the coming weeks.

Marzhew would mean I need another WFB/CTR trade before their round 12 bye.
Teddy causes me issues in R13 if selected and risks for R14.
Fa'a issues for R13, and when paps comes back.
Whirlwind has questionable upside comparatively to Penis to my mind.
Would love to grab Tago, but he has more money to lose and doesn't solve my shortage this week.

Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but captaincy.is the one role that shouldn't be changed on a whim. If they want to dump teddy, do it after the series.

A left field halves option for R13 is Plath.

Plath has been spoken around these parts a few times

I don't have him personally (Can't have em all)

Could also take a gamble on Sam Walker but *shrug*

Marzhew hasn't scored well at all this season and without Ponga I can't see Knights suddenly creating lots of tries for their wingers.

In the event you are upset about this, being made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to me. Nice injection of cash, got to take 6 months off work and do what I wanted.

Exactly what I did, albeit I was only in my early thirties at the time. Can be daunting if Ur older and feel unsure about getting a new gig

being made redundant with a nice payout is literally the dream.

Yeah, to add to the pile on, many many, many years ago when this happened to me it turned out to be very positive. If I’m not mistaken, the money I was paid out ended up being part of a deposit on our first home.

Can definitely be a worry at the time, but hoping it turns into a blessing.

Seriously considering Manu as plays 13 and 16, dual position in red hot form coming against us struggling Wahs this week. I know he’s at top dollar right now, but if he’s keeper for rest of season does it really matter? Just get him in my team for Murray and forget about it. Anyone else considering?

R13 MID is bad enough without moving one of the only good options to HLF

I've currently got McInnes, Hopgood, Matto, Shoes, BS9, Plath as my R13 mids, definitely possible Hopgood/McInnes are in origin but I might be one of the rare few who can justify Plath as a HLF in 13
