Api/ BB
Haas, twal/ rudolf, JTB
carrigan, lolo, mcinnes/ yeo, materson, katoa
moses/ walters
drink/ luai
mansour, lomax, hampton, best/ wiliame, shibisaki, watkins
pap/ holmes
In a bit of dilemma with my team, was obviously planning on bringing in grant this week and teddy before he gets out of reach for who knows how long.
TLT over the last 2 weeks has destroyed my wingers, am i crazy to leave them as is and cop the ae for hampton with only JTB rudolf BB or luai suiting up on my bench and continue with my trades?
It sounds a bit like chasing teddy/turbo/Ponga without the funds. Any team grabbing these players without the money will need to downgrade somewhere and cost their side. I would lock in Grant from BB, as you are making close to 150k on him and Grant can be played as a R.
Then you could sell Holmes but plays Warriors this week and lolo back, or Pap but does look like he will soon explode and has been unfortunate.
In you situation I would sell Holmes and move Yeo down before tonight. Bring in another frf/2rf
what is your suggestion TS im confused haha? i cant move yeo down to ctw without trading out a ctw so its either trading holmes or trading out a ctw. perhaps skip teddy move yeo down and bring in murray up against titans?
I thought Katoa played LHS and would be running at Drinky?
Fwiw I am playing Lucy currently as he has lower ownership, but not with any certainty. Maybe playing Katoa and saving Lucy as an emergency for later if needed could be the play.
Grant and Papi definitely.
I’d want to play Arrow if he’s in.
If you are 50/50 on Lucy vs Katoa I’d play Katoa, that way you have Lucy as cover. Personally I’d want to be leaving out Katoa.
I’ve captained him every round. An easy 70 with plenty chance to go 90+. Smart move imo over the whole season. I like going for risks but if i did this week, Holmes would’ve been my C.

Best is flb dual?
I meant sell one of Hampton, Willame, Shibaski, Watkins
I wouldn’t miss grant, I looked at missing him, but he is likley to get 80min this week and so far in 60 odd min has av 60 in base
Doing the same. Just make sure you do your trades late so you can cover any late outs
Some last reserve help please ahaha…
TU: E.Katoa against Cowboys (running against Clifford)
TD: L.Leilua against Raiders (running against G.Williams)
Leaning towards Katoa for some attacking stats…
I thought Katoa played LHS and would be running at Drinky?
Fwiw I am playing Lucy currently as he has lower ownership, but not with any certainty. Maybe playing Katoa and saving Lucy as an emergency for later if needed could be the play.
Drinky on the LHS himself, Flasher.
Cheers mate
Last reserve:
+ Fui
– Katoa
Really want to play Fui but worried about McGregor silly buggers.
Fui should be pretty safe, I’m playing him, though I have Lomax as cover.
Play Fui, hes a goer and should get some base with sims out
Do we think Lucy plays 80 with that bench? May need to play him now with Horse being an out
Jealous that you have that sort of flexibility for covering Horse. 🙁
If he doesn’t have any notable defensive miscues, forcing Madge to pull him, I’d imagine he’ll play the 80.
Edge 2fr’s always play big mins if not 80 mins.
Money on the banner this week?
Teddy or Keary VS Pups
AFB…..oh wait, that will be next week 🙂
Ponga surely. Maybe Best actually. Perhaps a duo would be fitting.
Best.
Best
Angus chrichton
Harry Grant (in celebration of 80 min)
Best and Grant together (double banner!)
Capewell
Cleary or ponga
Cleary and Moses
Last R
TU – Katoa
TD – Luai
Does Hess play 80 with cooper on the bench?
Doubtful. Probably more like 55 minutes.
Lucy or Katoa last reserve?
Also weighing up Holmes or Papi to teddy?
Katoa, Holmes
Struggling to pick my final 4 reserves… Awaiting lolo/arrow news
Grant/Katoa/Arrow/Lucy/Papy
Pick 4….
Grant and Papi definitely.
I’d want to play Arrow if he’s in.
If you are 50/50 on Lucy vs Katoa I’d play Katoa, that way you have Lucy as cover. Personally I’d want to be leaving out Katoa.
I have the same players except Arrow and i’m leaving out Lucy
Any official word on Arrow yet?
Doesn’t appear to be much in late mail.
2 players cut from the titans squad and he wasn’t one of them, very strong chance it’s business as usual for him
How effective will he be? got to hope he is right to make some sort of impact.
Katoa or jua for last reserve?
I also put the Vc on turbo so missed putting the C on haas.
Which is the best option…..
Yeo
LoLo
Capewell
Arrow
Cleary
Moses
Sua for last R and Lolo for C imo.
What about Grant as a C option?
I put the C on Turbo but seriously considered Grant. Should play 80 this week…
Thinking exactly the same
Rabbitohs v. Titans
Squad Update:
Rabbitohs: James Roberts – OUT, Braidon Burns – Centre. Bryson Goodwin – Drops OUT.
Titans: Jarrod Wallace & Beau Fermor – Drop OUT.
NRL Physio reporting that Arrow will play but is carrying a minor rib cartilage injury that pulled up well early in the week. Pain issue.
Which 2 would you choose out of this lot
Drinkwater
Leluia
Luai
Kerr
Rudolph
Musgrove
E or s katoa
Leaning towards leluia and drink h20
Hope it’s Lucy, not BJ.
Last reserve – Kaoa(2rf) or Grant??
& how many minutes do we think Lolo will do? Captain choice????
Gotta play Grant IMO
Yes, Drinkwater just went from 0 to 1 after 13 minutes. Looking like a great decisions to keep him.
Cowboys going downhill fast. All but lolo leaving my team next week.
TU: Jack Williams > Radley
TD: Lomax > Latrell
Howdy boys, whoever captained haas is a coward 😉
I’ve captained him every round. An easy 70 with plenty chance to go 90+. Smart move imo over the whole season. I like going for risks but if i did this week, Holmes would’ve been my C.
Who do people see as top 4 2nd Row this year?
Lolo
Matterson
then i’m not sure. Have Yeo in CTW.
Mcinnes would be another i think. Then probably guys like Murray and Crichton (depending on how Aubo slots back into the team).
TPJ next round .What could go wrong. Murray Jurbo There aint a lot there
yeah feels like Jurbo is just steady as she goes – can kinda get him in at any time because it doesn’t feel like his price will move all that much.
Jurbo draw friendly good 2rf5 By mid season most cash rich teams would be looking
Would be a serious POD move next week, depends if he gets 80min but on an edge and the way they are going not much choice.
Lolo/Matto/Mccinnes top 3 atm, then a mix of Tohu/Angus/Murray
Jurbo/Carrigan that rung bellow.
Agree TS but the TAM mix has positional uncertainy
Top 3 are Lolo/Matto/McInnes.
The upside of Murray, TPJ and either Fifita/Angus/Kikau would be perfect for the other 3 spots.
tell me j croker has to go? his scores are killing me
