Anyone know who is going to get minutes for the cowboys at 9 with Robson playing origin? I see Lawton is the only other listed hooker is he the only option for 15 and 18?

Some joking speculation musical chairs and Mahoney goes there in a demotion to back up hooker.

I have traded Dylan Egan for Kautoga and buyers remorse has already set in. Kitone is effectlvely a first year player. He could hit the wall at any time and become overwhelmed by the grind of the season. He could get targeted by other teams to neutralise him once they realise he is having an impact. He might be flying under the radar at the moment.
I am going to think about this. Hosking and Aitken starting to look better as more tried and true performers.

Missed the boat on Kautoga bro, gun up or wait for a cheapie. Not the time for mid rangers

good advice. For his risk profile that he could collapse his scoring at any moment $530K is too much.

Problem is I only have $54K ITB and Dylan Egan is $587 which leaves Hosking and Aitken. Unless I go two trades.

I will think about this over night. Might need to be a multi trade.

Let me see if forced to choose between Hosking and Aitken. Probably Hosking as he is better in real life than Atken. I have a pet peeve about players like Aitken Humphries etc who gun it up in Fantasy and are outstanding scorers while being bog average real life players. In Principal I don't feel I can support them.

At 678K he would take me two trades. While Aitken and Kitone are a one trade given how much money I have in the bank (50K).

Kautoga? You’re 2 months too late

How is your rnd 15 team because Aitken plays while Hosking doesn't. If your going to go the two trade route than Kolaumatangi is a more expensive option that has dual

Is this one of those rounds where you can get fucked by the coach? Since they just name Origin players but they might not actually play?

Yea need to play close attention to team lists 1 hour before kick off.

Only need 13 though with a lot more teams playing so hopefully auto emergencies can help.

Apparently there is a bug with DPP players being auto emergencies in these rounds so best to pick a starting 13 if you can

think most people are going to have pretty strong 13s this week - I have a couple of loop options that will hopefully help.

Still looking at hooker options for round 15 and 18 - beginning to consider Damien Cook - am I crazy?

Are people trading out or keeping purdue? He just does not look good at 5/8 IMO.

Since it's 13 this week I'm looping him. Remember his first couple of weeks at center were slow too before he exploded.

I'm confident he'll do well with time but not everyone can wait.

I heard some good advice this morning too. Not trading doesn't mean saving trades. If you're eventually going to trade someone out then you're not saving a trade just delaying it.

Hold - he'll get dual HLF/CTR in RD14. Possibly fills a HLF gap for me in RD 15 and RD18.

I really want Jayden Campbell but can't afford lol...would need to sell Haas or Cleary

Is it just 13 this week?

Looks like the full 17

 

[Tookey 2.0]

What's everyones thoughts on Mason for the Tigers? How come Latu isn't starting there, and so we expect him to come into the picture soon? I'm searching for a cheap cash out

It's only 13.

He has been discussed on my other forum. Latu Fainu is injured this week so they suspect Heath Mason is only a stop gap. Most people are not taking him (Mason).
Let me come back to you in 15 minutes with Wrighty's list of cheapie cash down targets as I need to make this list for myself.

 

[Wrighty]

Wrighty list of cheapies less than $400K with an upside as of round 13

Loko Pasifiki Tonga 245K Mid (I own him already)
Ben te Kura $250K Mid (bigged up for years - will he get minutes)
Luron Patea $323K Mid
Matt Lodge $376K Mid
