Garrick to suali and talaki to Brimson
2 left for next week
GL all
Death riding trell with the rabbits playing 3 good defensive teams. I expect south’s to score less than 20 points each week and with trell work load not real high hoping he scores like he did against the sharks.

DCE2011

Only that groin strain will stop Latrell. 😉

CoG

I’d say his run metres will drop and i doubt we see him busting through the middle like last week. Playing him and hoping for some la/ta pts from the red zone

Blessings be upon my financial management. 40k in the bank from a savvy trade three weeks ago means that Garrick to Johnston is a trade without complications.

DCE2011

Pure genius, Duke.

The Duke

Thanks Diceman.

Having been through seasons of hell with the Roosters (the fallout from Mitchell Pearce indulging in animal husbandry and the Nate Myles/Mark O’Meley years loom especially large) I feel your pain regarding the crash and burn of this year.

Recovering from losing Tommy T (twice) to come within a pride jersey of getting into the finals must hurt. Now Garrick going down is the final insult. One hopes that they don’t blame Des for this.

DCE2011

Thank you for your condolences, Duke. To keep my sanity, I now ignore every Manly drama. At least Jurbo and Garrick, who have tried all year, have the rest of the season off. 🙂 BTW, your Roosters are looking like a smokey for the finals.

The Duke

Part of me wants them not to make it as I’m honestly burnt out on league, after the Greek, ironically, pussied out today. It’s been a hell of a long time since King Leonidas. 

DCE2011

He tried to bluff Dominic, but it didn’t quite work. 😉

The Duke

How the hell you couldn’t outthink that long streak of urine is beyond me. There’s this myth of the tall man syndrome where people think that just because someone is tall they’re more intelligent or talented than someone under six foot (like me at 5-9).

DCE2011

Maybe the NSW Govt had a few other cards up their sleeve.

The Duke

If anyone believes that they’re going to put any money towards buybacks of houses in Casino or Lismore then, to misquote Braith Anasta, they’re off their head.

It beats me why Annastacia didn’t ask Cam Munster to be an intermediary in the negotiations.

Has there been any confirmation that Garrick is out for the season or could it potentially just be for the week?

DCE2011
cat-party

Bummer there goes one of my last 2 trades then. Thanks mate

swampie3838

I heard a roosters star might be rested this week. Anyone heard the same.

swampie3838

Heard it will be teddy

Temple Guard

If Your heard you should always back that up with a source instead off dribbling

swampie3838

1170am radio. Supercoach talk segment with Jim Smith cobra.

Temple Guard

That’s better 🙂

DCE2011

You like your sauces, TG. 🙂

Temple Guard

Still don’t believe it

DCE2011

Hoping it’s not true either.

DCE2011

If true, will shake up a few H2H finals.

hutupiki

Now I can’t stop thinking about Manu at fullback!

DCE2011

Terrifies me, as I don’t have him!

Keyser Soze

I’ll be holding any trades as long as possible, could ruin your H2H if 1 of them are out

hutupiki

Surely they couldn’t. Two very valuable points on the line.

DCE2011

Can’t find any whisperings on the Roosters fan forum (http://www.thechookpen.com.au/vb5/)

Magpies4Eva007

Useful post if true but 2 rookie posters that I have never seen before rightfully raises doubts. One to keep an eye on.

swampie3838

Google Jimmy Smith 1170am supercoach segment. Listen to mick Williams.

Magpies4Eva007

Apologies swampie. Have listened and there are some rumours according to Jimmy Smith of SEN and Tim Williams of SCPlaybook. Nothing concrete at this stage though. As always keep an eye open for late mail and final team lists. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

All good mate. Just thought I would let people know. Jimmy is close with roosters. He must know something. Hope it’s not true. Cheers bud.

Temple Guard

It was just the presentation that made it feel doubtful news…. I am sure swampie will be more selective in his postings, now with more details;-)

I’ll be on my game next post mate. Lol. Good luck on weekend Boyz. It’s goanna be interesting. Hope u all have trades.

Magpies4Eva007

Cheers mate!

jonamco

Roosters not even confirmed in the 8 yet and with raiders soft draw probably need to win 2/3. I doubt they are resting anyone.

Shlapper

This is EXACTLY my thinking. There will not be any restings or even thoughts of. Roosters are looking to ensure a finals births and will be watching closely the means to get there. Yes they will rest Teddy if well ahead DURING game but they will not rest him FOR the game.

Under the NRL finals system you can bet that they will be fighting to ensure the best logical run in the finals. Is no way Teddy will be rested for entire game this week or next.

jockey_68

Hi there. Can’t decide last CTW spot either Bird or Taylan May. Thoughts?

DCE2011

Bird a safe 45-50, but 4 forwards on Saints bench. Prefer May’s potential upside.

Why not jump on the Ramsay train….only for the brave / crazy

Temple Guard

Thxs Mate didn’t thrill me though…. nor does Koula… I do admire Suallii… just a personal preferance… the 19 year old is a beast and in my team next year for sure

weebs

Can trade Garrick to a CTW, FLB, 5/8, HFB for $689,900.
Who to get..?

Currently have:
Hynes – DCE
Munster – Doueihi
Manu Ronaldo May Holmes
Drinky – Teddy

Temple Guard

I would hold…. I held my trade with Kennedy for 3 weeks before I made my final trade

weebs

Yeah I was considering holding. Still in 1 of my H2Hs this week so will only make the trade if I need to
Thanks mate

kegs kings

Need help guys
Tu Trell and jojo
Td Brimson and suali
Selling Garrick and talaki

kegs kings

Cheers
Second guessing myself again

CoG

Gilbert a possible out for family issues.
Lucy pod maybe for the punters

buzzboy

Kikau —> D Fifita ? Need to make up $20,000 to upgrade Garrick to Manu.
TU: Yes
TD: No
Been disappointed in Kikau last few weeks, too lazy at times. Could do anyone less than $547,000, Thanks.

Temple Guard

Jump on Cotter instead of DFiF… is my suggestion

buzzboy

Thanks TG, that was my other option, Lolo to Cotter even and play Kikau instead.

Temple Guard

I would even consider Radley

RoadKilL

Ok this is my last shout guys/gals!

I have :
Cook Grant
Ipap Lolo Pole nuff
Crichton Tago Haumole talakai nuff nuff
Hynes DCE
Munster Mam

Garrick Manu May To’o Mulitalo JFifita Ganderson

Teddy Drinkwater

My original plan was DCE (even though I bought him last week) to Murray
Now Garrick is gone do I stick to Murray ??? Or go Nanai. No trades after this going for the hail Mary !!

Anyone else outside of these two aswell obviously.. have 218k itb so Garrick trade give me 839k.

TIA and thanks over the course so far!

100% stick to Murray. You made that decision before the Garrick news and Garrick playing has no input to Murray’s score. For reference I was doing Ola to Murray, now doing Garrick to Murray (via Tago) with my last trade.

RoadKilL

Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do! Cheers for that! Good luck to you and all for the remainder!

Shlapper

You also mate – kick some ass!

James

TU: Garrick -> Cook
TD: Garrick -> Holmes or Suaalii
Comment: Hold.

2 trades left. Cook would play ahead of Olak/Lolo. Holmes or Suaalii would play ahead one of To’o/Ron.

Shlapper

Goin Cook as he will do better than Olak/Lolo whilst To’o I think will score decent due to H8’s and and Ron could finally break the drought and score big.

Tigerstyle

5 trades left 1 boost, playing h2h only, Wont be playing either Tago or Lomax this week.
TU: Lomax + Tago to cheapie and Cam Murray (more cash for other trades)
TD: Lomax + Pole to cheapie and Cam Murray (keep Tago play him next week against warriors)

James

TU if you have players in mind where the cash could be handy. Tago scored 38 against Warriors last time, so no guarantee of a big score especially without Cleary/Luai.

Benchy Marshall

Play:
TU: Ronaldo
TD: Too

Could go either way tbh but feeling like ronaldo against manly is more of an upside

Temple Guard

Api on the bench!!!! ok that is strange
