Matt Lodge $376K Mid

Hi again @Tookey 2.0 The cheapie I will be taking is Tyrone Munro. He is injured and not available this round. But "should" be due back round 14/round 15. This could slip to being out for the whole season but I am going to roll the dice. The other option is Te Kura. And hope he is a revelation that forces himself into some minutes.

Just remember last year both of us ran out of trades, from here all trades are valuable, think about are you trading for a keeper.

My trades this week....
1) Dylan Egan to Aitken
2) Savala* to Tyrone Munro
3) Cobbo to Kautoga

TRADE ONE: I analysed the heck of this and I think Aitken is a safer bet than Hosking. Last year Aitken averaged 55 at second row. Dylan Egan is out the whole season so this trade is a no brainer.

TRADE TWO: This is a cash down trade. I am making it for cash. Savala is a better player than Tyrone but Savala's days are numbered. This round could be his last game this year. Roosters on bye round 14 and Sam Walker forecast to be back round 15.
I have asked around and multiple people think Sandon stays and Savala goes.
You can argue that Savala's low BE means he goes up by $40 to 50K this week and I should wait one more week. However, he could also easily get an HIA after 5 minutes.
You can even make a case for selling Sandon now as Walker is going to do all the goal kicking for sure and be dominant.
My other alternative is Te Kura instead of Munro but I don't trust Madge - he is chopping and changing his line up week to week.

TRADE THREE: Cobbo seems disinterested and lethargic. Cobbo to Kautogao is not a sideways trade. It is a clear upgrade.

1) yes, but don't curse him for me too please XD
2) no you wait a week if you are doing this
3) It is an upgrade but you've missed the boat, I rather you go Cobbo to Munro to cash down


I think the best one is exactly in that order of 1, 2, 3. If you choose 2, then wait a week. Him getting through a whole game is a higher chance than getting an HIA
 
**NEWS**

NRL PHYSIO update on Tom Trbojevic from the Sea Eagles:

“The cork had been troubling Tommy, and he’s got what they call a minor myofascial injury in the same leg…
Hopefully, he can be back for the Knights, but it’s only a five-day turnaround, so it might be two weeks yet.”

Thanks for the feedback. I am going ahead and as mentioned it is ok if I get my hand burned on the stove as then I will learn.

I need trade 2 this week to fund trade 3. Also Savala is pretty random, one week he gets 27 then next 58. Last week he scored 50 maybe this week is his 27.
I like trade 3 as Kautoga had a strong game last week. He seems to have improved. And I think he can improve even further. I don't think he has reached his cieling yet so I don't think it is too late on him. I have a hunch about him and my gut says he is a buy so I am going to trust my gut. Finally he gives me someone good I can put on my bench for round 14.

I can change Trade 2 to Starford to Munro. And Keep Savala another week. My only issue with that is then I need to use another trade to sell Savala in round 15.

But both Savala and Starford are not keepers, so you have to trade them away at some point in time.
 
With half an eye on Rnd 15 have gone with the following this week:

Degan > Kolo
Kiraz > JC
Toia > Aitken

Banking on Aitken getting CTR DPP next week. But no issue if not, have Lucas, Kautoga & Nawaqanitawase

Want to see how Couchman goes this week, high BE so could lose some cash.

Ideally be doing the following next week:

Lindsay Smith > AFB
Hors > Couchman

Smith plays none of the remaining big byes and Hors misses 15 and is surely coming into the QLD team after they were rolled through the middle. So he would miss 15, 18 & 19.

Munro is terrible wrighty, I strongly suggest not doing that. If you’re buying a cash down, you’re buying latu fainu.

OK Yeah I thought something looked odd when he scored 45 last year with two tries. That is some really bad base stats.
 
This doesn't sound promising about Latu

NRL Physio
Latu Fainu & Jeral Skelton continue with their hamstring injury rehab - they are expected to return in Round 14 at the earliest.

Both have a history of hamstring issues - Fainu has suffered multiple strains in the past 18 months, this latest one in recovery from a broken thumb.

Skelton suffered a hamstring strain re-injury in Round 6 - rehab process often longer for recurrent strains.

Initially Fainu & Skelton were listed to return in Round 13 but this has been pushed back at least a week for now
 
Also I hear Luai will go 7 and Heath Mason or Latu 6 with Luai being the dominant half. I don't see much of a role here for Latu. Finally Latu has played 7 games of NSW cup in the past two years and averages about 25 fantasy points. I am sticking with Munro. I will bear Latu in mind for next week if I need another cash down and he actually gets named in next weeks TLT.
The part that concerns me is that Latu is TBC on the injury report while Munro states firmly "round 14".
