    The Eels won't release Norman unless the another club stumps up the majority of his contract. The broncos want him but on much less money, at least to begin with. Norman wants to go home, so the Bronx hqve quietly told Norman to have his fun now, get himself sacked, and the Bronx will pick him up on the cheap with a long term deal provided within a season on condition of form and attitude adjustment.

    This 'posturing' from the Warriors seems like they're trying to gain something out of this. Some leverage etc.

    SJ
    Harris (adjusted for injury)
    McInnes

    These are the only guys I'd wanna spend a trade on at that end of the season when things are getting tight trades wise.

    Just makes me wanna get my final team put together and just bring those guys in before 17.

    Make sense?

    Bringing in anyone else just for points just seems unwise.

    My brain is frazzled

    Other to consider

    Tevita Pangai Junior (if he keeps starting edge spot when Glenn and Gillett return)
    Rhyse Martin (only 4 games but he is killing it)


    Milford (probably short of keeper level, but if you want a POD he might be a goer)

    Also keep an eye on Simon Mannering. It looks like he is not going to hit the heights he has in previous years, but worth watching just in case he gets starting lock spot back.

    I'm trying to put a stop to that Milchy. I didn't pick him originally because he didn't suit my bye planning that I unsuccessfully attempted. I want him in my side before he plays again so I'm trying to fit him in, then when I do I'll put a halt to his good scores.

    Boo! Although he just needs to hold strong until round 18 then he can turn into Arrow for my team.

    Depending on how the relationship ended with Norman last time he was there, Broncos should make him an offer, they really need a halfback that will let Milford play off the cuff more. Will probably link up with the Raiders though, since he has a good relationship with Sticky

    So far doing JFH, Kikau & RFM to Taupau, Surgess & Friend.

    Worth cashing out Sorensen to a one and done (ie the new Roosters winger - assuming he gets added) for the sake of 150k?

    It looks like I'm saying a sad farewell to Nicholls this round. I've got too attached to him haha

    I like TMM as a cash out and want to jump on. Yeeeh ha!

    Seems like a next week trade as he is playing round 13? Got someone else you can bring TMM in on?

    The first year I played Graham, I brought him in and he immediately broke his arm/leg. Don’t worry, I haven’t got him this time.

    I think Graham can do decent enough for the next month. I'm probably getting him in for one of Hiku/RFM

    My view is that he is definitely under priced and would be an ok stepping stone. I think he can get back up to $600k.

    Expected/estimated stats
    80 mins, 20+ tackles (a few missed...), the odd tackle break, 100+ metres gained & ~50 kick metres

    He isnt on my radar though. Just got different needs at this point.

    This is what I'm umming and ahhing about.

    Yes, Nicholls is a body for r13. Off the bench with perhaps 30 mins to score something in the low 20's. Just above his BE

    TMM has a BE of 7 and could jump 30k with a score of 30. I need that 30k haha

    Edit - my only other option is trading out 10 fingered Crichton. His score of 30-odd last week has kicked off some money making. He was goneskis otherwise. I dont care about the extra 30 points for this round
