Just saw that. Makes Sorensen interesting now.

with Aitken already there might be better for you to look at kick starting some extra cash generation and getting some of the cows in

I'd still be very wary as Bukuya is back and Paulo been doing a good job at lock

surely its

Graham
Bukuya
Paulo

That depends, do you have a good psychologist?

Haha I've never needed one.

Speaking of kick starting cash. 13 mil + a standard team value?

Sorenson and Sua could be brought in. Sorenson is a big swing in the dark.

Dugan over the last 3 games is averaging 8 points over Aitken & is 56k cheaper but I'm still not keen on Dugan due to origin/injury proneness.

Didn't Bukuya play lock last year when Gallen was out? Couldn't he bump Paulo to the bench instead of Soresnsen?

Edit: year before perhaps?

Rochow > Fifita
Thompson > Sorenson

Think I can squeek that trade in? Worth the risky business?

Fuck it, three rounds of Sorensen scoring 35 will net me 163k well needed cash that CCrichton ain't gonna make, will cut my loses with him and take the gamble on the -20 BE.

That is way more likely (as no Capewell) means they need someone to cover the backs as well.
Bukuya started round 1 this year at lock, and is generally a middle forward due to being great defensively.

Nope I cant do that trade so will keep Thompson one more week.

Double cows it is

Gee it sucks both Isaako and Kennar play before Sorensen.

With Lewis saying 4 weeks (I’m guessing best case scenario) - havili to Fifita and Kennar to Sorenson is a no brainer. Surely Sorenson has another 2 weeks starting 2RF and if goes good maybe even keeps it until Lewis is back and then nabs a bench spot. Worst case he manages 30 points in next 3 weeks and makes 136K, best case he gets 41 (base stats last game) and makes 195K in 3 weeks plus more if Lewis out longer. Versing titans this week, Fifi and Sorenson running at Carty all day 

Flipside to Mulvy. Raiders and Tigers playing late in the week I can see if Sua and Sorenson start and make the trades accordingly.

Cliff Lyons what a legend.

Nrl.com says Lewis back RD9

Alternatively I could trade out Thurston for Dugan via JMK via Isaako/Kennar. At least then I could reverse the trade if Sorensen doesn't make it on final lists. But a Thurston to Dugan upgrade doesn't sound nearly as good as an Isaako to Dugan upgrade, even if they are only averaging 3 different. What do others think?

Time to get drunk and make some poor Fantasy trades that Ill regret
