I like those moves, though I have RFM down as a keeper for my team. If you think you can get strong enough group that he wouldn't add to it. Then I would make the move.

JMK is in my playing 13 (though I am edging towards pushing him out).. that said I don't see any long term value in holding him. If he scores 35's over the next three weeks then he only makes another 37k or so. You probably don't want to keep him past round 12, since he doesn't play 13 anyway.

Martin is looking at banking 70k if he scores 40 this week.

Of course, JMK might jag a try and bust out a 60.. I guess he is probably due, hasn't got one yet, lol.. I'm not counting on it.

EDIT: i didn't see the RFM out part, risky. I dunno. I have no intention of trading RFM at this stage, but it may pay off for you.

just lurking... waiting for page 51

He was locked in for me before TLT but troops inching closer to returning as Milchy said. I'd still love to have him in for a few weeks but with the Broncs shake up we might get a chance to see Isaako do a bit more. Only other option would be trading Hiku but to be honest, if he could be normal and start a game on 0 points like everyone else instead of minus 8 every round after early missed tackles, that'd be great!

Push on to page 51 gents

Someone post a gif with a korean lass in it pls ! Well overdue.

Any suggestions for the party?

north korean p51 party coming up

Is RFM going to be in your final FRF/2RF setup. You ideally want Fifi, Taupau, Lolo, Hess, Arrow as your starting 5, backed up by Surgess, maybe Kikau as higher upside than RFM and still on the rise currently so not a trade out, Manners will be a trade in when he bottoms out too as a keeper to finish strong as a round 17 player, Gallen will bottom out and start playing big minutes again, Brown will be an option leading into 13. To me RFM is expendable to get these top tier guns in now, without trading Arrow out to do it.

I wouldn't count on Manners as a keeper this year. He'd need that (near) 80 min middle forward gig back, which, after a couple people mentioning it here, and a conversation I have recently had with someone in the know, is unlikely to happen. Warriors are pretty happy with how they are tracking right now in the middle. Blair doing a good job starting the game at lock, Bunty getting through more work than was expected, and then the likes of Gavet Paasi Lisone etc. Manners looks set for an 80 min edge role which won't equate to keeper scores IMO.

So on that note, I actually think its quite hard to find FRF/2RF who will play 17 and will be keepers.

A couple that stand out to me are:
Harris
Arrow (possibly Origin?)
JDB (probably Origin?)
James (could be a stretch to think he's gonna be a keeper though)
Kick (keeper? might have to be)

So that leaves guys like:
RFM, JFH etc (boarder line keepers)

But you are not gonna want to bring any of those last group in just for their round 17 score, so you are gonna have to keep them if you bring them in surely....

SO it begs the question, who are people gonna be brining in, in the forwards to bulk up their round 17 numbers?

Blain wrote:Martin a must have for cash generation? Thinking about Fifita from Arrow, but I can always sit on that for a week and bring in Martin. He needs 3 weeks at least really, with Jackson, Woods and Klemmer in origin frame he could get some decent game time in the next few months.

I can't see Fifita rising too much next week. I'd also have the cash to jump from Rein/Maloney to him also while keeping Arrow, and bring in RTS next week for Thompson.

So,
Murray -> ARey (POD, and I need a half)
Nicholl's -> Martin

Then all going well next week;
Maloney/Rein -> Fifita
Thomspon -> RTS

Thoughts?

I was completely against Martin early in the week, but he only needs to average between 30 and 40 to make 150ish to 200ish k in 3 games. Problem is how that pack gets moved around, and the limited minutes Elliott got starting at Lock not long ago.

Mate, I got to go to N Korea a few years back. Got yelled at by an army dude for pointing at some carvings on a cliff face. Im pretty sure I'd still be there if I did anything relating to their women

Are we there yet ?

Yeah I think Martin is a fairly safe bet atm
