Im sure i remember it happening in the past, but then i think they MAY have fixed it part way through the season, that said its pretty good odds they didnt bother retesting it after the changes.

Who am i kidding, they don't employ testers.

Anyone play Knights VS Manly on draftstars?

Can't see any results in my live or completed games

Yeah mate, I thought I was just being a noob and not knowing how to work the AP.

Not expecting to be in the money anyway

well Katoa still has a red dot anyway, so might be in for an AE either way

looks like I am buying Kennar instead of Godinet and switching Katoa to Isaako after lockout

My Ponga/Griffin jubilation crumbed to dust so quickly :/

Ended up not running O'Neill as I had plenty of cash left over from "downgrading" Watson. Grabbing Kennar as a wfb/ctr looks to be quite useful with Katoa suspected broken jaw.

Slade Griffin's role really impressed me. Hate bringing in players that scored a try but he looks set for 55-60 minutes and should be good for 40 odd most weeks. Wait and see how the rest of my team performs but he is probably one I will miss

sure its happened in the past! I'm still smarting from the McCullough farce last year!!

anyone think its worth downgrading my SST to a nuffie and bringing in an expensive WFB like Mbye or Inglis, that way I wont be running Kennar/Isaako next week and it wont cost me trades to do it now

As a Knights fan I hope Brown doesn’t put Lamb on the bench again and gives Levi a go. I understand that Watson has that utility value but Lamb kinda confused them a little when he came on, just use Buhrer as the utility.
I like the explosiveness of Levi around the ruck and tired forwards.

That's what I'm going to be doing.  It will be either SST or Murray but that won't get me enough to get Dufty.  Will have to be Merrin to turn Katoa into Dufty.

Does anyone know if Katoa will lose money?

And does anyone know what Dufty will cost next week?

He shouldn't being base price, but they fucked up Field last year

Dufty’s BE was 36 and he made 41 so don’t think he will go up a lot.

Cheers mate.

So just double checking this is accurate regarding the bench
If it looks like this then I am covered for emergencies ?

Here is the real question. Are you making the downgrade before he plays to save the trade. Surely that is more important than the 30 odd points he might score more than Nichols etc. tomorrow?

I am considering downgrading Murray to allow Dufty. But not sure who to. And probably not worth killing one position to allow another.
Katoa - Isaako might be a go

As long as you don't lose 2 people in 1 position in the same week. That would be quite unlikely I would think
