I don't want to trade him but Hess has more upside and i think he is a must atm.

You did not get his value then, and if you trade him out now any money make off Hess is tainted by the value of the opportunity costs. Best trade someone out who has already peaked... or who is not a gun and is not going anywhere

Hi, thank you for your advice!!! Havent looked at those options!! Would rather hold on to jacks but forced my hand with norman coming out and field/elegy the other halfs

Angus crichton does look good but will he get mins with burgresses in limbo? would more value been in pkafusi starting?

Oh right, that does put you out a little. Has field been named? You could take an AE and save the trade? Perhaps just wait until we see the final team lists for the Storm game. If Jacks plays then you need not worry.

At the moment my back 3 will be Suli, Holmes and AutoEmergency (Yates and Kelly or Cotric).

Yes I know that Holmes "may not play"

Idris to R.Jennings

Are these trades yay or nay

yay

Traded in Rennings for Talakai and hoare for ese ese. My team now looks like this:

Smith Brailey
McGuire Wallace F Kaufusi Hoare
JDB Surgess ET Moeroa F Winterstein Yates
Johnson Lamb Elgey Jacks
Moga Rennings Kelly Idris
RTS Suli Cotric Hayne Phythian

Obvious room for improvement in the backs but I'm hoping to beef up my forward pack next week. I have 400k in the bank. Any thoughts on what I should do next?

Critchton is a beast would think he eventually phases out Turner in that Bunnies backrow, minutes would be a concern currently and for his 37 he busted a lot of tackles in limited minutes great if he can maintain that. I have Him marked as target when he grabs the starting spot

Musgrove's name has not been mentioned since last Thursday/Round 2 kickoff ?? Is he still alive ??

I came in my pants when I read the line-up, and yes, it was green.

You my boy blue. Sorry about the RTS call, i still think it will work out best for you in the long run but that was just horrible luck with the timing of everything.  

As for Toots, if you are dead set on getting him either this week or next, its a tricky call. On one hand he's just returning from injury so he might be a little slow out of the blocks, perhaps he doesn't regain goal kicking right away etc. On the other hand, we are 0-2, its another game at home and we've destroyed the tigpies in recent history so there is every chance he picks up a try or two himself, has the goal kicking when we rack up a score and ends up with a huge score. The question i'd ask you though is whether getting in Croker now does more for your team than another trade (and it very well may, I'm just asking).

Raiders: Whitehead, Hodgson, Croker, BJ, Wighton

Anyone I've missed? Currently have 5 players from this list better start moving to some better options

Cotric outside Croker might be scoring okay by then.

Is that because you picked up my scraps in ultimate...? Nah I agree, he looked good, probably should have held him longer in ultimate because as you say he's probably going to become a great scorer eventually, but with my early injuries someone had to go and at that stage it could have been 4 months before he turned up in the team.

I could get behind this, dude is doing some of his best work for us on this inside job.

I am going for this.

Which of the two has the vague potential to score some points and make some money this year??
Guess I better hold Pthing then.

I saw somewhere earlier today that Jarrod will not be doing the goal kicking for a few weeks at least.
Sorry but I can't remember the source.

Hmm, I'll have a hunt on the GH because i find that surprising. Cheers though.


I had imagined if a guy is good enough to come back and take contact then he can handle some goal kicking, but i know phuck all so...
