I’d go James to Curran – Condon looks to have peaked with his low score today but at least he’s getting more minutes and knack for scoring tries, with the Broncos coming up next, I’d be more happy holding him. Ricky’s forward rotation is all over the shop at the moment and James only getting the limited minutes he did this week when Papa was rested doesn’t bode well for the future.

Feagai a goer? 39pts in B+P. That’s almost To’o levels. We think he might secure a spot with Lomax now on the sidelines?
You are all forgetting the guy who is my prediction for question of the week. It is easy to forget that Isaako is a DPP, and many, including myself, have him on the never again list after last year. But he was going well before Friday night, and was red hot then. I’m thinking of breaking my never again vows.
In your team his DPP is basically useless because you’re not ever going to move him down to FLB. But I’m assuming your point is although he plays FLB IRL you can bring into your CTWs (where he will stay). There’s an argument that your chasing last week’s points but the eye test says he is playing well. Some of his kick returns this year have been excellent. Broncs play 13 which is a plus. His BE will be high though. His average was 58 (which I would take in my CTWs) before his monster score this week. I reckon… Read more »

How bad is it that I’m going to have used all my trades this season
What to do with Junior Paulo, gotta move him on, his minutes are declining, playing sub 55mins last 4 weeks, he looked so dangerous early season. Brown out any factor?
With $279k itb, I will hopefully be able to go James to TPJ in one trade. Condon is the other obvious trade out but no downgrade options that I’m aware of unless blore gets named. Time to finally save a trade I think?
Condon to Koala could be a good trade. KK’s BE will likely be small and he is playing well. Won’t play round 13 but at least he will play the next bye round. Not a great draw up until the bye round so you’re looking at most B+P. After bye round he has a good run.
Wont be able to afford it unfortunately. I’ll have next to nothing in the bank after James to TPJ (that is if I can afford it at all. It’ll be very close)
Is Luai or Calker the 6 for NSW?
To answer your question, whichever of the above who doesn’t play SOO.
If you’re not sure about which NSW 5/8 will/won’t play SOO have you considered Mahoney? If you sell a HOK you can bring him in. Won’t play SOO and will play 13.
It’s Luai by a long way if he doesn’t play Origin (but I think he will).
Otherwise it is probably Watson. CWalker doesn’t play 13.

think ive lost my mind but i feel like im gunna go
tko/host to TPJ and sitili
even though capewell/lomax are injured so i have to play killer duo of simo/staines
and then pick up cheaper gun ctws when they fall further next week.
don’t care about total rank… just H2H which im undefeated in so far so a loss wont be a disaster anyway.
As Bozzin8r has said usually late morning. There is usually price changes 30 minutes before lockout ends, they also usually indicate that scores are final

Is Kelly a sell?
Thinking of trading to Isaako. I don’t see it as chasing points. They both have a similar floor but Isaako has the ceiling.
Definitely chasing points. CTW is the worst place to to make sideways trades. Isaako is good but so is Kelly. High chance their scores are reversed this week.
Still waiting to find out how serious Capewell injury is and how many weeks he is out. Hopefully nothing serious

Let me be the first to ask the compulsory weekly State of Origin question, because I think last weekend changed things a bit. Firstly, I’m becoming more convinced that To’o will play. He’s clearly the best wing, well in front of JAC and Tupou, neither of who have earned total loyalty. Secondly, I’m also nearly sure Luai may be the 5/8. I watched Wighton closely, and he was awful. His defence, which is his strength, wasn’t faultless, and his attack just wasn’t there. CWalker hasn’t been playing 5/8 at all, and he hasn’t been outstanding. The combo with Cleary works… Read more »
Agree re first 2 thoughts. TPJ is an interesting prospect and he always loves a big match up. While he may not be named in the middle he will go hunting for Lolo, will relish the chance to go up against Schuster and match up vs Gus Crichton is gonna be epic! Good luck to the young man.
Why do you think TPJ would be named? I think that’s highly unlikely. Luai will be in the squad, but I am not certain he will play. Jack Wighton almost scored two tries in 5 minutes, so I don’t agree that his attack wasn’t there…To’o might play, but if he does you can guarantee that Cherry Evans is going to be kicking to the To’o / Coates match up all night, and that will likely cost us some points.
Of course jac and tupou will be there. They haven’t been outstanding but they haven’t done anything wrong either. Jac is still playing strong, running fast and always in support.
You can lock them in barring injury.
Tpj is a 50/50. He looks to have calmed down and if he keeps that up there’s a chance he gets a role.
Jac tupou, Mitchell, turbo teddy.
There’s still another 10 backs who should make the team but where? If some were qld they would be automatics
Interesting how everyone views things differently, i thought the weekend showed again why To’o wouldn’t get picked – he stuggles under the high ball. Even blocker roach mentioned it in the call, if he notices it I’m certain Freddie will and Tupou did a great job in making meters last year anyway.
Agree that Luai is the better option, but I’m like 90% certain Wighton will be 5/8.
I did hear Brandy make the comment he is worried about To’o’s height. He will likely line up vs Coates who is fantastic in the air. NSW always pick the showy players as well.
Well the Lomax trade did not pan out like I hoped it would so back to the drawing. Have held onto Tino so hoping he repays the faith before I punt him. Definitely need to make an upgrade so appreciate any thoughts.
Could bust out a 100 or a 35 on any week. Averaging 58 and priced at somewhere around 54ppg (magic number this week not out just yet). Don’t think there is a lot of value there unless you think he will go on a scoring run based on the Panthers current draw.
Brailey – Watson
Welch – Ofa – Uto – Lenui
Smith – Fifita – Crichton – Curran – James – Condon
Cleary – Walker
Walker – Schuster
To’o – Nofo – Laurie – Kelly – Staines – Roberts – Fusitu’a
Gutherson – Turbo
Think I’ll go Condon to TPJ and save a trade.
TU James to Curran
TD Condon to Curran

Or cini from tiggers
Give it a week.
Gamble and the storm winger as well.
Who’s better trade in. Gutho or keep Ted.
Haas or tohu
I bought Tohu and I regret it in hindsight as I now have 2 reserve spots taken in 2nd row due to Curran being a must play.
I haven’t played Curran yet, at least he’s making money. Tohu was always a Rd 14 purchase. Doesn’t really matter where your reserves are surely.
Thoughts on the top CTWs to target now Lomax, Morris and Thompson are injured, and Nofoaluma and Bird have gone cold?
Val,best,rapana
Think I will just sit on To’o, Fergo, Capes and Lawrie for a couple of rounds and looks to trade Capes just before origin
Capes injured
Cheers, hoping not a fracture so one week, might be a good week to play Staines was now everyone has sold , LOL
The Peach
I’m eyeing off Tupou
I got lucky with r smith from the storm, last two rounds 100+
accidentally played him this week
might be worth a look

How bad is it that I’m going to have used all my trades this season
Not that bad. I think a lot of people will be riding on 10 or less for the final half of the season.
Thanks for the positivity haha. Last few weeks I’ve done well other than a few injuries and suspensions . This week it got a whole lot worse
I feel your pain, as Bill Clinton used to say.
I use all mine every season. They don’t carry over… 😉
What to do with Junior Paulo, gotta move him on, his minutes are declining, playing sub 55mins last 4 weeks, he looked so dangerous early season. Brown out any factor?
TPJ
Walker has had a downdate to 163 from 179.
Brailey / Watson
Welch, James / Uto, leniu
Fifita, tohu, Crichton / Condon, fui, Curran
Cleary / Walker
Walker / schuster
To’o, capewell, Kelly, Laurie / Saab, Simo, roberts

Condon to CHN from the raiders
Best 5/8 to play round 13 and get me a few points before then,
currently have schuster and Watson.
hookers are cook and Simpkin
Is Luai or Calker the 6 for NSW?
To answer your question, whichever of the above who doesn’t play SOO.
If you’re not sure about which NSW 5/8 will/won’t play SOO have you considered Mahoney? If you sell a HOK you can bring him in. Won’t play SOO and will play 13.
Oh shit. Scrap my Calker comment. Thanks for calling it out Salty Owner.
It’s Luai by a long way if he doesn’t play Origin (but I think he will).
Otherwise it is probably Watson. CWalker doesn’t play 13.

don’t care about total rank… just H2H which im undefeated in so far so a loss wont be a disaster anyway.
sitili is suspended
He said he’s lost his mind.
touche’
When was sitili suspended?
Officially took the early guilty plea today
Need a 4th CTW to play in my 17 each week. Assuming Papy is back this week.
*Indicates 4th CTW
TU: *Holmes, Fegai for Staines, Hynes (More short term points)
TD: *Fegai, Curran for 2 nuffs (keep Staines, Hynes, Curran as NPR’s)
Comment: *C.Aekins for nuff + 1 saved trade (keep Staines & Hynes as NPR’s till Rd13)
I recall during the game it was said that Papenhuyzen was aiming to be back this week (R9). Therefore Hynes might be a no-go.
A big shout out to the community for talking me out of trading Laurie ….. He won me my h2h!
I’m glad I didn’t see your post or I would have said sell, and nearly did myself
Anyone know when the lockout ends?
usually late morning
As Bozzin8r has said usually late morning. There is usually price changes 30 minutes before lockout ends, they also usually indicate that scores are final
Is Kelly a sell?
Thinking of trading to Isaako. I don’t see it as chasing points. They both have a similar floor but Isaako has the ceiling.
With c thommo injuried I think it’s gonna help Kelly a lot
Seemed to be the odd man out
I’ll be holding
Definitely chasing points. CTW is the worst place to to make sideways trades. Isaako is good but so is Kelly. High chance their scores are reversed this week.
For H2H, who is a better season hold out of
TU Lomax
TD Capewell
The other is turning into Haas
Lomax just broke his thumb, so I wouldn’t go for him just yet even for a pure H2H team.
Ahh I said season hold, so I have both already. 1 is going for Haas this week. Both are injured.
Capewell imo just because of his duel
Still waiting to find out how serious Capewell injury is and how many weeks he is out. Hopefully nothing serious

Freddie has already talked about how importantly he views experience (when asked about Luai) so I’m not really expecting him to be named.
As for TPJ, NSW have plenty of backrowers to fit in, even without Matto making the team. Once again, hard to see him named.
Why do you think TPJ would be named? I think that’s highly unlikely. Luai will be in the squad, but I am not certain he will play.

Whats people’s thoughts on Kikau? Soon to be very cheap.

He’s a great decoy
