RFM out - Surgess in (RFM to play 1 game from rounds 11-13)
Rein out - A. Reynolds in

Cheers.

Yeah, both great trades as long as you're happy with two Bunnies.

So nobody answered who FAC was, assuming its Macca?

I remember when he first started playing for the broncs. He got shat on, nobody rated him at all.

This did get answered. Future Australia Captain - Macca

One of the interesting ones that could pop up today is Lino. Carrying an injury into the game.
If he's a late withdrawl, who goes into the halves with Green?

I'm thinking Hiku, and Lawton into the centres if it's during the game. Bring Beale or Gelling into the centres if its before the game.

Other option is Tohu into the halves. How has he scored in the halves in the past?

If Crichton and Hess make origin, should I hold on trading them? Or pick someone else entirely

Anyone have any thoughts on Watson in? Priced at 33pts

save the trade or pick up Taumalolo/Taupau is my opinion on this. since we are so close to origin selection.

I still don't particularly rate him. I like him, he's a great club man, he gives it his all. But his service from dummy half just isn't that good and his attacking/running game hasn't really developed like I'd hoped. His defense is obviously top notch.

Koro is great value but I decided that I'd rather Cleary and DCE as my final halves pairing. RFM has served his purpose as a stepping stone to a final 17 player.

Throwing up The Usual Suspects for this week:

Cook
JFH Fifita
Jurbo Taumalolo Murray
Matterson DCE
Mitchell Cotric
Tedesco Ponga(c) JMK or Brimson

Surgess Koro Martin Kikau

Bolstered by two tries in the past 3 games but definitely getting more ball with Pearce not there so could continue, but he will need to avg above 40 to make 150k. Might go huge against titans, a bit risky for me, but not many other bye playing money makers right now

I think the Titans are going to beat the Knights.

A couple of meaties for Brimson

Priest & Eastwood haven't been named in NSW Cup & Fualalo & RFM in doubt. Fualalo apparently will be out with injury & wacko tweeted RFM won't play.

Priest is already number 15 on the bench though.

Im pretty sold on Crichton but might go Surgess instead. I can't see Crichton making his way into the NSW team to be honest. How many 2FR would they have on the bench?

Me too. Peats back. Brimson defence better than Elgey. Cartwright dropped. Arrow back. Playing at home. And even with there problems they put up a good fight against the storm.

Apparently Proctor is out so Cartwright will probably come into the 17, haha
