Is it the last kick that led to the try? There is a case to argue that ball was caught before the line and then the ball passed back to hunt, hence LB, but id hate to be arguing it.
There’s a guy in top 35 that has looped dufty and has 15 players thinking good week for him. Not me of course, but wishing him luck been going well all yr

Bit of a gee up if Hunt gets called in last minute. Makes the whole ‘week long Origin camp’ a moot point if you can have guys who have just played a club game rushed into the team.
The question is how high he is on your own priority list. At 465k and with a BE of 13 he is good for this week, maybe next week too. If you cant get him this week or next, I think his value as a trade in slides.
No difference between this week and next as he has the bye. A lot of top players will bring him in in between 14-17 so if you don’t buy him you will be anti-PODing him. His value isn’t tied just to salary but also how many other top players will have him come R17. Plus they will likely keep him for the year. If you’re going to anti-POD then don’t buy otherwise jump on with a low BE and with BNE, STG, GCT, MAN he has one of the easier draws. Agree with definitely a buy and I’d recommend buying… Read more »
Considering his break even, round 18 is a must unless he plays origin 3 which is extremely unlikely.

I’m interested in this poll. After this week the Tigers’ next 3 weeks are not great – Eels, Storm, Souths followed by a dream run home. If you had to keep one who would it be: TU: Laurie TD: Nofo Arguments for either: Nofo with his reliable base and is borderline playable every week. Laurie has more upside in my view. He touches the ball way more and he looks more confident every game. He could carve up in the back end if the Tigers are gunning for a top 8 spot. I think if you’re able to cover him… Read more »
If Nofo is on opposite side to Go Yourself Douehi he has more natural attacking opportunities than if outside Douehi although Talau not much better….I traded Laurie 2 weeks back so I’m biased though….
No way of knowing for sure but I traded Turbo instead of Teddy to Gutho this week based on Manly playing on Friday night after origin next week and the history of Robbo giving Teddy a rest after the final SOO match in 2018 and 2019
Oh I am definitely worried, but there is risk either way.
One extra factor is that Turbo had his dinner suit on last week against the knights while Teddy still had a crack against the Raiders. Will Turbo keep it on over the origin period? Or will he aim up?
I’m itching to know what Robbo’s thinking. I suppose the difference this year is he is carrying an injury into camp and they know they have good coverage with Manu and Suaalii. Titans are not necessarily a tough game for them either. My gut says he is rested.
I wouldn’t bring Jones in until an hour before kickoff, he could still be benched with Barnett possibly moving to the edge. Capewell-JFH tonight, then Curran-Jones on Sunday if you’re desperate to bring him in?
Hunt missing a LB so should go up 10 points
From what play?

I was just going off the stats on the nrl website. They gave him 2 LB’s so I thought he might update
Curious as to the Dufty ownership %?
0.7%
Cheers. For some reason I though that was a Gold feature, but then remembered I can find that out myself.
He’s in 960 teams, so good news that 160 shouldn’t hurt too many non-owners.
0.7% who own so would be more like 0.5% or so who VC loop him so yeah I don’t think its going to punish non-owners
I sold Teddy & bought Dufty because of the soft Dragons draw over origin.
I @ one point had vc on Dufty but changed it to Burton.
Also, I traded Luai because him & Teddy are both in origin.i.e didn’t want r17 players traded out this week.
P. S/ I know someone who was ranked around 500 mark who questioned the Dufty trade.
anyone in top 10k who VC him with 12+ players this week are in for a treat
There’s a guy in top 35 that has looped dufty and has 15 players thinking good week for him. Not me of course, but wishing him luck been going well all yr
Gutsy pod play. Well done to them.
Wonder who will be named fb for the Broncos next week?
Tesi or Herbie have to be a chance

What are peoples thoughts on CHN as a buy?
He’s definitely a buy.

My comment was meant to read buy was good for rd 14 or rd 15.
My point is after that he is probably priced similar to a lot of other options
Got it. Agreed. Still think target 14 though. I think although priced the same he will be one of the better players for R17.
Any word on papys return?
Read a post yesterday from NRL physio that he is over the headaches but still not feeling 100%
Based on that I’d say he may miss Rd 14
I thought Bellamy was quoted saying 15 or even 16.
Considering his break even, round 18 is a must unless he plays origin 3 which is extremely unlikely.

I had the similar conundrum. And someone said to me, “I would always keep the FB, over the winger”. And that stuck with me.
H2H player and content on losing this week, am just wondering what areas I should upgrade from RD14 onwards?
Pretty much only have the one trade locked and loaded (Simonsson > Suaalii) for this week to free up cash and trades next week.
$10K ITB
Brailey – Watson
Welsh, TKO – Haas, Uto
IPap, Pangai, Tohu – Kikau, Chricton, Burbo
Cleary – Gamble
Luai – Munster
Holmes, To’o, Nofo, Laurie – Ikuvalu, Fus, Simonsson
Teddy – Turbo
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Could consider luai to Mahoney via Watson this week
Next week Watson to Cody
Still splitting hairs on my VC/C, and would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you.
TU: VC Hynes / C Gutho
TD: VC Burton / C Hynes
Mahoney released from origin camp.
*nrl.com
1. Luai to Hughes
2. Fergo to JFH
3. Fergo to Matto
1 probably only keeper
I disagree with the opinion Hughes and JFH are both ranking in the Top 3 in HB and FRF, respectively… Matto is unknown due to HIA but can go big
I have all 3 hence my opinion. Each to their own
Please excuse my short-term memory but do head to head games still count during the byes?
yes
Do we think teddy gets rested in rd14 vs titans? In previous years, he was rested after origin 3.
No way of knowing for sure but I traded Turbo instead of Teddy to Gutho this week based on Manly playing on Friday night after origin next week and the history of Robbo giving Teddy a rest after the final SOO match in 2018 and 2019
Are you not scared of what Turbo will do round15/16 while Teddy plays storm/Panthers?
Oh I am definitely worried, but there is risk either way.
One extra factor is that Turbo had his dinner suit on last week against the knights while Teddy still had a crack against the Raiders. Will Turbo keep it on over the origin period? Or will he aim up?
Turbo could play in his birthday suit and still tear both those games apart.
He should, but he should have torn the Knights a new one as well so I’ll be watching in terror lol
Yeah fair enough, trading either out is a risk
I’m itching to know what Robbo’s thinking. I suppose the difference this year is he is carrying an injury into camp and they know they have good coverage with Manu and Suaalii. Titans are not necessarily a tough game for them either. My gut says he is rested.
Frf: pap pangai flegler uto
2rf: matto Crichton toup Curran capewell Barnett
5/8: luai schuster
First trade capewell -b jones
Second?
TU Curran-jfh
TD luai-burton
How about capewell to jfh and walk away?
Wouldn’t be the worst move though I really want Jones and a 2nd trade just gets me to 13 for the week. Therefore leaning to TU
I wouldn’t bring Jones in until an hour before kickoff, he could still be benched with Barnett possibly moving to the edge. Capewell-JFH tonight, then Curran-Jones on Sunday if you’re desperate to bring him in?
Crichton will kick goals tonight won’t he? 40 odd to 30 odd would be nice!
Thinking will use a second trade
TU: Saab to Gutho
TD: Curran to Brody Jones
First trade would lose a round 17 number
Brodie Jones = trap. He might not even start this week, could be Watson at 13 and Barnett back on the edge.
When it comes to Round 17, remember that DCE and Turbo will both be playing Origin so holding Saab could be worth 10 points.
Jones will start according to Barry.
Used all my trades so far. Thoughts on Luai to Mahoney?
TU: Yessir
TD: No sir
Anyone else trading Cleary?
Ranked 140 overall thinking I need to stay in touch with some scores this week…
Gotta play to win it ..
finishing 2nd is the same 2000. Go hard as u can mate.
$5000 for 2nd. $1000 for 3rd to 10th.
14 for this round so far, 19 trades left…
TU: James to JFH
TD: Hold
