At this time of evening... I hear you. Stepped out for a "meeting".

Always appreciate any commentary - but remember that it's Monday. No need for 6 beers in before posting on today's routine.

Jfh kikau rein gos
Lodge issako jmk rochow.
375k in bank. Was thinking of moving on afb. Can do fifita but there goes all my moneys. Feel like i need another centre but scared to go dugan and mitchell might play origin this year possibly. Anyways any help would be appreciated

I would move AFB for Fifita. It uses up your warchest, but gives you the best FRF option, and one of the best players in the game. Kennar is okay to run with for now. He has potentially to Jag a big score here and there.

Definite Trades:
Isaako (Slowly making a little money. Worth holding a couple weeks.)
Lodge - Starting to lose Cash, has potential to be a 35-45 point scorer. Which is good but not a Keeper in the FRF. Could be a good cash out option.
Rochow - Depends if you think he bounces back he has been getting the minutes. Could keep him if you have faith.
Thompson - Worth holding a little longer. Then you can decide if you want to turn him to a HLF or WFB.

I would personally cash out Lodge, and get Fifita with AFB. It keeps money flow, so you can get another CTR next week if you want and upgrading AFB to Fifita could be a 30 point bump this week. (If you upgrade a CTR this week it could only be a 20 point bump for people you aren't confident in.)

All good mate, we tend to go easier on Broncs supporters as the rest of us understand there's nothing you can do about it, just the cards you were dealt unfortunately

If he puts up a 70 though I would much rather the points then saving a few K.

As long as you dont have to make any drastic moves to bring him in..

Shhhh we can't actually show weakness on the forum or the vultures will come to pick the corpse of the mighty broncos.

I'm looking at cogger and Sorenson @liverpool_bulldog

Is it worth trying to bring Latrell in this week?

Plays 13, not an origin prospect is he?

Looking to get rid of kennar or Hiku

Do we think Morgan ma be worth a punt then?

Not for me but personally I don't want to bring in players who will play Origin/might play Origin.

I know fittler is a big fan of mitchell so wouldnt surprise me if he gets selected

I saw 6 weeks somewhere - cant remember where though.

Hes a sell regardless though right?

Will be interesting to see what Fittler brings, but it's generally a NSW pre-requisite that if you want to be an Origin winger or centre then you have to play fullback for your club!

I would trade Kennar out. I would say he is an origin prospect, but there is a lot of backline members there Tedesco, Ferguson, Dugan, Trbojevic, Morris Duo, Bird and others I am forgetting.

If it's swapping Kennar out for Latrell, his consistent scores would outweigh him playing Origin.

Would like to bring Fifta in but, last week it was a season ending knee injury only to see him play. Is he carrying an  injury? will him knee go on him?

Holding Lodge a good idea?
If not Fifta, then who?

I tend to microscope team changes/shake ups as well; with Lodge though he looks like a 35-40 point player regardless to me.  

With Fifita, I'm going to have a look at minutes with and without Gallen, but I figure even though they are backrowers that the early Lewis injury and Capewell HIA played a part?  Can anyone who knows the Shark rotation save us the research?  From memory Gallen and Fifita both scored a lot better with the other out, but that is going back to 2014/15 I think?

I have tentatively gone Lodge to Alvaro, but Fifita is value at the moment.

BUMP-curious if anyone has done the minutes/output research over the last few years for Fifita with Gallen out for more than a couple of weeks?

Think he is big on playing people in there positions they play in there club. Just what i have heard. Dont wanna scare u off him but

Not much love for Gelling on here. I'll play the devil's advocate:

With CNK on the Warriors bench is it possible Gelling will get some minutes in the second row?

He knows how to find the try line : 52 tries in 115 games for Wigan.

Do we see Warriors holding a <10 min centre on their bench long term?

$212k with BE of 3 with few other cash cows around..

Don't have stats at hand but IIRC Fifita has something like 70 AVG when Gallen isn't playing. Or it was after he had a couple 100 or close to games.
