Yeah it was him and Leota in the casualty ward, then Leota returned the next week and.. nothing. I'm pretending I traded in a guy who scored 35 in 37 mins and limped off, played injured again the next week for 37 in 35 mins and finally succumbed to the injury. What a battler, but time to go.

Fa'a would be nice for cash plus points if he can average 40 but also requires a trade back out in ~6 weeks(?) (Initial talk was 6-8wks from nrlphysio but storm have said 4-6 I think? Get the feeling it's certainly going to be longer than 4).

Kiraz and May could hopefully hang around in CTR all the way if needed. Particularly like Kiraz playing both 13+16.

Might be worth paying up for Drinky but only plays one of the major byes which becomes less ideal when paying 700k, and limits my second trade to Fainu instead of Matto.

Haha we'll both trade him and he'll return rd12, put up a 70 and everyone will be trading him in as a gun rd13 mid.

I've currently landed on Drink, had a look this morning and his stats for a FB are insane, in terms of base/floor. Not really getting a discount but he's a clear gun

I don't really like buying any winger at Kiraz price, but that's on me. I miss some good ones... To'o a few years back, Marzhew and Isaako last year, maybe Isaako this year lol.

Kiraz a level up from TayMay IMO. Some will say he's bottomed out, but I don't know if he comes out of the bottom. Feel you are buying the guy for his long-term average. Too far out to consider it as a strictly R13 play IMO

Storm saying for 4-6 for Paps, if it's 4 you're only getting 3 games from Fa'a, more likely it's 6 weeks (5 games) but it's not like the guy is base price. Cash might move too slowly to justify the 2 trades.

Was leaning towards Fa'a but came to the same conclusion and luckily haven't jumped on Armstrong yet so i'll do that instead.

I'll save the premium option for when I dump Trbo over SOO (Have seen a fair bit of speculation that he misses out but everyone loves the brothers and will find a way to squeeze them in)

That leaves me enough to go the conservative Eisenhuth option for MID cover rather than the shirts off Matto option.

1. Ranked really shit, so need to make some speculative trades with high upside.
2. Hopgood pretty likely for origin, so Eels will need a lock for 13/19 - Matto fairly obvious replacement.
3. I have Hopgood, so any injuries to the great man will surely benefit Matto.
4. As a 50+ minute back rower, Matto is literally 300k undervalued.
5. My spirit is broken and I feel compelled to go big or go home.

Papy > Garrick
BS9 > Matto

Looks pretty good to me assuming Matto holds the spot. Just need SWalker and Koro to fire and should score well with that 17. Also JBrailey to play 80 thanks.

BCT05 wrote:Would like Matterson a lot more if he didn't get such poor minutes off the bench so far this year. Previous couple years his scoring off the bench was still very good so would be nice to have that to fall back to if Carty gets his spot back. If he keeps the starting edge spot he's a must have but we all know BA shenanigans and hard to trust him staying there. Will probably take the punt over Fainu.
