B. Smith, C. Smith
Paulo, Eisenhuth, Graham, papalii
Gallen (c) S. burgess (vc) Taumalolo, JDB, Marsters Crichton
Munster, Reynolds, Johnson, Feeney
Fuimaoano, leuilua, Hayne, Fine
Radradra, C. Walker, Tedesco, RTS, Rapana

Bold are playing, milchow was kind enough to help me.
If surgess goes big, I swap Gallen out with marsters.
Then I put the r on Hayne
The only bit I don't get is when I swap Gallen out, will he automatically become a reserve?
Do I need to pick 4 reserves at the start if I only have 3 to choose from that are playing.
Maybe I'd be better to put the captain on Munster as I can easily switch him out with a NPR

I know Rabbit was trading out Mannering & SJ when he posted the other night.

My team is:

McInnes, Smith(r)
Bolton, Felise, Taupau, Liu
Surgess, Crichton(VC), Gallen(C), Whitehead, Merrin, Sele(r)
Munster, Lolohea, Laybutt(r), Feeney
Fui, Lafai, Idris(r), Brown
Holmes, Slater, Edwards, Whare, TRD

All good for the loophole is I swap Gallen for Whitehead or Merrin?

He must have tonnes of trades left or knows something we don't if he's trading out two guys who score that well.

I've only got 11 trades left. I'm considering players like RTS and Hayne keepers until I'm forced to trade them.

Thinking of cashing out Hayne this week due to Byes and SOO. Looking at Laybutt.
Issue is Laybutt may only play tonight and while Hayne will only play 1 game in the next 4-5 games he does play the rd18 which is much needed. What to do, what to do ?

Also have he option of moving Muster down and looking at a half

anyone have lolo as captain?

Tempting on the back of a season low minutes with JT Morgan and Cooper out there will be plenty of extra responsibility for him to take on. I got cold feet due to 5 games of 57 or less minutes. Can't have that from a captain

Pretty sure Hayne misses 15 and 18. So he won't play 18 as you want but plays 2/4 and 3/5 if he backs up from Origin.

Edit: are you looking at the eels instead of the titans?

McInnes (C) (Smith)
Vaughan, Brown (Bromwich (R), Graham
Gallen, Crichton (VC), Taumalolo (McGuire, Elliot, Surgess (R))
Walker, Hampton (SJ, Elgey (R))
Fuimaono, Suli (Cotric, Leilua)
Munster, Radradra, Edwards (Bye) (Hayne (R), RTS)

So, captain McInnes and VC Crichton. If I don't like Crichton score then I leave it as is, If I do like his score then i sub McInnes off field for Smith (Smith shouldn't be a reserve, right? Reserves at the moment are Bromwich, Surgess, Elgey and Hayne?

Hope this is correct

Welcome Milf

Both this forum and the Facebook groups have about the same ratio of fantasy advice to filler.

But the facebook groups have a lot of insults and bickering, whereas we have quality banter

I disagree you stupid cow.

Looks perfectly set to go. The only question I have is why not S. Burgess instead of Crichton?

Hawkins cut

It's really a toss of a coin. Both are great VC choices. I'm still not 100% sure what to do haha.

lol cheers i think i got it.

vc surgess captain lolo if surgess goes boom take the reserve off n.brown put it on a bye/origin player then swap captain lolo for unreserved brown?

Oh, that makes more sense, so if surgess goes big, I take my r off de Belin, put it on hayne, then swap Gallen and De Belin. That way Gallen is never a reserve and I have Crichton, marsters, Hayne and C. Smith as reserves but then I get Gallens AE?

Sam Burgess OUT tonight. Should affect everyone equally.

Where did you read that? :-(

If Burgess is out someone or something is getting punched.
