Laurie Daley has declared that Paul Vaughan has CRASHED into #Origin contention.

Ryan James 2016 was miles better and couldn't even get chosen for Australia. Some players just get ignored for rep honours

Tricky one. The sharks have a good bye schedule, and Brailey might not be a bad option... But Segs would be back around the first game of origin

but theres a hole left by gallen which needs filling.

hoping that fifi gets passed over so i have an extra unplanned gun during the byes.

also. why are there 6 rapanas at the top of the page...?

LG getting the boot this week for hopefully Frawley if named to start. No brainer there as also adds another R12 body

ET - Crichton for byes and cash making and similar scores also in contention. Leaves a decent war chest of $247,000 for peaking cows in the coming weeks...Siro/Kaufusi/Yates

First player to break the century mark this season.

Rapana is love, Rapana is life.

Is ET really a trade out? Am I an idiot for trading Idris back in?

My thinking is Crichton can bang out similar scores for $100,000 less and has better byes
I don't want to upgrade Yates to Crichton as I already have JDB, Surgess, Whitehead and Siro who can match ET and who also have ET

You are still the undisputed champion of the parties

Is Fisher-Harris due back this week? Just asking because if Harawira-Naera's benched I'm fine for it whereas the last few weeks I kind of needed him. However if he still starts then I'm going to have to leave out a potentially good scorer in that topsy turvy CTR position.

Also selling Lamb this week means I got to choose out of Frawley, Hampton and Jacks to throw in alongside SJ. You got a kick metre monster if he starts, a busy fill-in hooker and a safe 30's player.

You can't spell idiot without do it.

As an ET owner I look it at this way. If it was anyone other than Jason Taumalolo running at him in the middle, he probably would have only missed about 3 tackles.

How many trades have you got left? The cash is nice and all, but got to be mindful you'll have the trades to use it at the end.

This is true, but he is prone to MT's because he is so active in defending, ceiling of about 50 He just doesn't run the ball enough into contact to get the tackle busting big scores a lot of forward are getting this year, I'm going to shift my focus onto the these types and Crichton is one of those

Yeah JBG that's how I saw it. ET looked like he was the only one trying to slow Tolo down. Unfortunately it's effective for his team but not his fantasy scores.

I'm worried about Crichtons ability to keep up the tackle breaks. Also he'll start second row again because Souffs won but what if they get pumped again?

Also, can anyone tell me when Tohu is due back, is it still looking like Rd 9? He always does me well come origin time but that return date is a little too close to Rd12 so might have to wait until Rd13 and then gun for him.
