Im happy to keep Fifita but I have both him and Taupau.  Seems a bit sideways but you could be right in relation to minutes.

Im liking Kikau too. Its between him or Surgess for me but I too think Kikau keeps the 80 minute edge role.

I know it seems sideways but i got trades to burn and I am am not liking the 3 game avg of 41 for Fifita. Could also be a case of Sharks locked down a top 8 spot so may be resting Fifita's knee till finals. It seems sideways but Tapau is playing good minutes and him and AFB are killing it up the middle. He wouldve got 60+ on the weekend but his Offloads were down a bit in his second stint. Was thinking of Tolo to Taupau but i feel Tolo still has that big ceiling and a few more big games to pump out. Speaking of Cowboys, Paul Green has said that he will be starting to play some youngsters for the back end of the year

I thought about flicking Tolo for a second also. But they are paying him that money so he will be earning it.

How many trades do you have?

7 before trades this week. Will make 2 this week and probably 1-2 next week so I am happy with 3-4 trades for the last 6 rounds next week with a full squad

Yeah nice. I have 6 and will make 2 this week maybe and keep 4 for injuries, suspensions etc.

Might do a POD move and go SJ to Nofo via MBye which gives me the money to go JFH to JTurbo.  Would do Rapana but 4K short, bah!

Oooo, maybe Hayne instead.

The current banner is hilarious, love it.

People saying they have 6 or 7 trades left and here I am with 3 and considering using one on Isaako > a keeper centre...

Could be worse. I have 3, and am forced to use one on Croker AND I still need to play Hiku. Unless I use two of my last three trades on my Back line, which is crazy.

Only 4 trades left for me. One will be used to dump sua for one of the following - Josh Papalii, Surgess or kikau. Leaning towards Surgess atm

Paul Green has hinted this morning he will be picking Jake Clifford for a debut this weekend saying he will be keeping half an eye on 2019

Broncos site confirms Sua has a broken ankle.

2 left. Probably jfh to cook this week. Should've done it last week. Oh well.

I was a bit lucky dodging that bullet as I sold him to Cotric on Saturday. I have only 2 trades left so I'm treading a fine line.

On nrl physio they have a picture of Widdop's bloody mouth with a couple of smashed teeth that will require dental work & their last sentence is "good reminder to always wear your mouthguard."

I still can't believe wearing a mouthguard is optional in the nrl. The nrl harp on & on about making the game safer & that player welfare is their goal but they fail to make wearing a mouthguard compulsory.

@ nrl physio - both Aubs & TPJ didn't play as a precaution due to hamstring tightness. Both are expected to be available to play this week, but it's worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses.

Most Warriors fans I know are hoping he is dropped once Kenny is fit again with Beale staying at centre. His defense against the Panthers was infuriatingly bad.

871 for me. Pretty happy given it was from 16 players. Dropped 24 places to 525th though.

843 from 15 players and only dropped 50 ranks or so to 185,can’t be too unhappy with that I suppose

Yeah agree, I think Wing is his best position anyway. Had a good game this week, helps that's he doesn't need to tackle. His attack is like an 8, but his defence is about 4.. No doubt Ken walks back in with his form this season.

SK will probably bench Beale and move Hiku to centre again
