Welcome to the Fantasy Amateurs and Boom or Bust collaboration for 2024. We have joined forces to bring you the best content for our fantasy experts and fantasy nuggets, reviewing the teams, the week that was, and entering all of your questions. Good evening and welcome to the Boom or Bust and NREL Fantasy Amateurs question collaboration for 2024. I'm your host Stuart Lorde. It's not, I'm joined by Nick Lorde, fantasy nuggets, New South Wales Blue supporter. How are you going Nick? What are you doing baby? Going good mate? Going good? It's a good game last night. Yeah, it was, it was just so physical, like it just non-stop, just big hits and tough runs and, you know, really it's a fight for every inch didn't they? They did. I must say, I think I said pretty early on that the Blues were winning the yardage game and I was hoping it would tell because you know, sometimes we've sort of won every part apart from the scoreboard last couple of years, like a couple of games and I was just like, I was just hoping it wasn't that. But we got over the line in the end just, um, I think, that was the probably the main question, not having someone like the trail there. It's like where were the points going to come from? Like it wasn't all that clear necessarily. Like we lost all the structure last night, the 10 meter rule went out the window. Everyone was rushing up early on both sides. And so the ball just couldn't get wide. That's kind of to Queensland though. That's kind of to Queensland though with like strong defence all night, basically. Oh, for sure. And you could see early on when they put capable out wide, it was, it wasn't because he's attacking superstar. It's because he could defend, he can tackle. And it was really quite noticeable when they shifted him out and Cotta was out there for a little while on the edge and they were just making a B line. I was just watching Yo just put up the bumper bar into poor Cotta. And they made that 10 post contact meters every time if he was the body in front. Yeah. I mean, Cotta tried really hard, but Cotta was the main middle force for them on both sides of the ball. He was just immense. Carrigan. So it was in a moon boot too. So I guess, let's get, let's get to some of these questions. Cause we're, we're going to not been too much apart from the wash up the fantasy implications. That's it. So we should probably, we'll probably talk about some of those as they come through, but I guess the big one is the first questions. How about we get to the first question and that'll be the big wash up, right? So, okay. I'm going to make this work. Trust me. Okay. So Mitchell Moses goes off with a bicep injury season done, right? Blues. He's obviously ticked off like a life goal. Yeah. Like he now drinks for free in any New South Wales RSL for at least the next, you know, however long to people remember that he's member of the eels. So, but bicep done, season done. So he's still in Brown, a hold Nick. Yep. Absolutely. And next question, you see a buy. Yeah, potentially. Um, here's a question. He's going to take over the girl kicking with that Moses. Who's got that? Oh, so does that make Guffo a bit more interesting? I know he's looked corked though. Guffo has that's the only issue that I see there. He's, he's, um, 524K. So his price, what is that? Like high thirties mid thirties. Uh, high thirties. Yeah. Yeah. So Guffo's I think Brown's probably looked the best and he doesn't look cooked. So, Guffo's priced at 37. He's averaging 39 this year. And I'm just going to filter by teammate here. So, if we take out Mitchell Moses from the game. So with Mitch, uh, he was sorry, without Mitch, his PPM goes from point five to up to point six, four. So he actually averaging this year 50 with our, so, so in his, sorry, over previous seasons, he's, he averages 50 with that, uh, Moses. This year's average of 43, uh, without and 36 with. So he could actually be a bit of a buy, but they've got a crazy, tougher home coming up as well. So, so the next storm, uh, storm at home, New Zealand away, Henrith at home, though it's a combank. So I'm not sure how much of a home it is when the other side can literally go 10 minutes down the road. Uh, Rooster's away, Bronco's away, St George at home around 26, which I think we're going to Nick and Tigers away final game. Yeah, it's, it's interesting. When you look at, uh, players with or without different spine members and the fantasy impact, it's one of those things where the eels are no longer a good team. And Moses really does help with just winning. So if you look at Garthison without Moses, it's six games this year, they've lost five of them, you know, and when you're not winning, you're not scoring great fantasy points. So, but, um, if you have a look at Dylan Brown, right, without, he's, he's the big one, Dylan Brown with Gutho, average is 40. Yeah. And no massive upside, no message down. So, but those low score was 29 versus the Knights, right? I score was a 54 versus the Rooster's, but with the meat pie. Yeah. Without averages, 58.3 without Moses, 58.3. No outlier games in there, either. His low score was a 48 versus the Raiders. Yeah. Uh, and so it's high score, 77 Broncos, yeah. So Brown's, Brown's definitely definitely the pick of the litter. I think way to week on, um, Gaffo, but Brown looks like a keeper half, I think, mate. Yeah. For the rest of the season, I'm actually a sneaky part of my brain goes, there's got to be value at six, 10, right? I think, I think that's it, you know, um, uh, a few questions on Cleary Pro tonight, but, you know, he's got a high break even. And what is his right? He's 100 96. So it's one of those things where, you know, you might wait a week or two on Cleary. If you're short on halves and you can wait that week or two on Cleary, you might save, you know, 50 something K there and you might get brown and make some money and have a genuine like high 50s sort of player, which is perfect for your venture. Like if you're carrying some of these guys who have been a bit hit or miss, right? Yeah, like, yeah, interesting, obviously Brown is in a place this week because yeah, he's a woman. But I would hold if you have him, he's definitely a hold. I would find other people to sell this week. Yeah. So that's wash up number one, right? Okay. Right. Next question coming from the, uh, Moses thing. This is from Elias G, who constantly is. He is constantly trying to take my premiership away from me or yours in the legal bus leagues. Well, I see, we're going to have to get down a newbie's leagues, mate. But, um, his cart ride a hole with Moses gone. He's a guy goes backwards from memory with so let me pull out, uh, I think the main thing with cart ride is he's being benched, hasn't he? This way? Yeah, I'm not sure that's it. He's got the bias. Sorry, his bench last week. He's on the by obviously. Yeah. So, um, I don't think you can sell if I'm honest. I just, I think you may have picked him up recently. Um, 38 off the bench in 60 minutes. Yeah. The, the issue is, is that with Moses, he's a 50 guy without Moses. He's a 35. It's huge. He's another guy. Just that's absolutely backwards. And you know what, let me just pull up just for the Enesini. Cause I think he's another guy just absolutely goes backwards. Right? Yeah. You're right. Yeah. Um, and so we're just pulling up Moses, uh, Mitch Moses with Moses. This is the long-term average of 42 without Moses 34. Right. And for this year, I'd slightly up to 36, but it's 46 with Moses, right? So it's still a 10 point. Yeah. They're all cooked out that side. Okay. Isn't it funny what a good running ball-hogging half does to build the plays around them, right? Yeah. Well, he just organizes them basically. But he's also got enough run that the guys get points off the back of it too. Yep. Yep. So, um, what's a cart right this week? Is he 500 and something grand? Was he? What can you do with cart right? And just a tick under 600 grand 534, John Bateman. So Josh, Josh, Karen, maybe. Yeah. Josh, Karen, I think we'll come to in a minute. Uh, but yes, Josh, Karen is certainly a guy that a lot of people looking at this week. I prefer Bateman over Karen, uh, for a lot of reasons, but Karen does get the extra game. I just feel that, uh, Karen possibly has less upside potentially. Yeah. Mark put in the group chat this week about, uh, the potential limitations of Karen's minutes being the real issue. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I can get through the work and put up 40 to 50 tackles, but, um, yeah, what was Mark saying? What was his minutes cap? He was basically saying that, look, it could be around 45 or so, right? With Kurt Moon back in salmon, you back in a couple of weeks, right? Yep. And the plane to 80 minute edges, which just means we're at the minutes of the current. So even if he gets 50 minutes, right, as the middle, it could just be, uh, there's just not enough value there. 50. It's a 50 play, not a 55 or 60 year. That's it. So, and look, uh, as far as his start to prop go, he's got one game, uh, for 54, right in his entire career. So it's, it's, we don't really have much data to work on, but he's often played like larger minutes, essentially. Yeah. And he's vacillated around this thing all year. Like where his minutes have been up and down, like off the interchange. Yep. But, you know, you can, you can do like a 34 or 43, which he did against the roosters around 16, but he can do a 76 off 56 like he did against the Warriors two weeks later. So yeah, like he's, he's got a track record of some really awesome PPM. You know, he doesn't have a cap on his PPM, but it was off three tackle bakes, four offloads to hand, an extra offload to the ground, like just an 165 running meters and a turnover tackle. Yeah, he could do all that. Like that's, that's not out of his, um, that's, that's all he's done that numerous times, you know, crazy stat, right? He has a turnover tackle in his last seven games in a row. Oh, I see that. Yeah. I've just looked at the numbers off loads of most games, like, like averaging, you know, about what a game. So essentially won a game offload to hand or ground. So 0.6 errors. Look, he's worth a look. I probably prefer John Bateman, though. I figure that, um, as I publicly is probably a week away, right? I guess it's playing not to win the spoon, but if Bateman goes back to the middle, we're talking about dual position and a good time for all. I don't think Bateman's going to get that dual position, mate. Um, he hasn't played enough games there. So I reckon he has this. Let's have a look. He's played two. Um, well, started two. Obviously he's gone in there, couple times. We've gone out to the center again or two as well. So, um, you said a couple from lock in a couple, whereas he shifted to lock like late, um, late in the piece, right? I think it's unlikely. I think it's unlikely. I wouldn't bank on it as what I'm saying. Yeah. But if you're selling car, I guess you're looking for an edge anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I like current Stuart's statement. There you go. They're both good options. In fact, if they were both in my team, I would not be crying this week. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about the next round of, uh, wash up from Origin after, after we deal with these couple of questions. Okay. First of all, Andy trained, is Jaden Campbell a risky trade? You hit two to his risk concerns. So no, when he was playing the other day, Nick, he took a couple of, uh, Panadol, you know, probably panadine fort during the game. Uh, you know, I just, just saw the, the dog sneaking out there with a couple of things. Obviously he's come back early from surgery because the Titans are hunting, you know, Deslov's wins, but he's been killing it. What are you thinking? Is he a risky trader? Is he a great trade? Um, look, I was chatting to a mom and saying, um, she really should, she really should get him in because we're looking at go kicking, general play, kicking, full backs, like we saw with a trail. It's just like Ponga has in the past as well. It's just a recipe for a high 50s sort of player as sort of the floor. That's it. And last week, he didn't score the try, but he'd get three tricists, which would cancel that by seven Miss tackles, right? She's done two games in a row. But that's going to happen, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Whether it's five eight or four back yet. He's going to, he's doing everything and he's, um, tearing it up from the artist's point of view. So, um, he's, he's shaping his passing game. It's just seriously on point with the kicking. I don't know. I think he's basically must at this stage with what trail out. Yeah. Me too. I, I think that he's a great buyer. And the fact that he's next to David Feader gives him so much more time because people have to respect the Feader run. You cannot arms tackle David Feader, which means is that if he gets into a position where he's looking to run a hole, you'd suck in both the inside and the outside man, which gives Campbell space on the outside to run or kick, which is, uh, which is where he's drinking the milkshake, right? And why Feader's not getting those 90s, he's just getting those consistent 60s. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Uh, easy. So, okay. Uh, Mason. Old is talking about with a styling is worth picking up. Uh, you, you're probably better answer that one, mate, where you reckon? Look, I thought two weeks ago, once he got the starting gig that, uh, styling is, was a good buy. He, it is probably his last week to be goodbye. He's getting at the line share of minutes. Ricky is entirely eye testing. His team is just trying to extract every ounce of skill. And we know that styling has a track record, right? When he gets above 50 minutes, he makes money. So like, uh, basically it's one of, one of the rules, right? Tom's styling, which he just, for some reason, they do not give him time, right? But when he, when he gets over all the minutes worth of time, he averages 53. Yep. And it's just, um, that scales as well. So if it's over 50, you know, 60, it just keeps getting better. So yeah, that's, um, so it's, if he's starting, okay, if he's over 50 minutes, he averages in any position, whether it's off the bench or anything else, right? 47.9 still. So it's just, yeah, I've got a, I've got a bit of a, uh, weighed, eager problems, uh, sort of, sort of weighing up, you know, if you, you're looking at a backup hooker, I think so for, if you're looking for a backup hooker and you might be hanging on to a jane and broly or, um, who else could people be holding on to? Coracao. Exactly. So if you don't want to get cooked or something like that. Um, yeah. Yeah. If you don't want to spend that money, then styling is either a good backup or a good stuff gap. He's definitely good stuff. So if you want to wait that week on Grant, because he's got a 62 break, even, um, not sure what minutes he's going to play this week. So you can probably wait a week or two on Grant and then he can potentially be a starter as well. You know, we're good to all right. And the last one before we get to the next round of origin, uh, wash up is, is Plath a trade. So no trade out. Essentially hooker last week, scored a 35 made a million tackles, but basically his running game was completely off, right? It was just, just doing the, um, service out of dummy half. So instead of running his normal 108 meters, uh, like 100 meters or so these running again, uh, he ran for 19 meters. He also, he made 38 tackles. That is it. He missed one tackle break. So that is, that is the green. Some of his efforts in 80 minutes. Yeah. Um, he, I think, I think Donna, he's back around 22. So you got two more games of this to put up with. Yeah. I think, I think watch another week. Um, well, yeah, watch another week close to around 22, aren't you? Uh, well, he's, so he's super popular, 79% in the top 5,000. Um, do you have him, shoe? I got him. I don't want to sell him because I think that he will go back to being that 13 in a couple of weeks time and all just turn around. So I think first week in hooker for anyone is just make sure you're not the reason why you lose the game. Yeah. I agree. Just, just you're pro focusing on your, your defense and your dummy half and not just getting the ball out and not doing forward passes. Yeah. Exactly. You're not looking at, um, they're kicking and, um, running and no, yeah, no, you just keep it simple. So yeah, I just give another week on it. You're probably a bit disappointed. Um, 80 minutes for a 35, but I just don't think it's worth moving on at this stage. No, me either. I'm going to hold. All right. Uh, let's get to the next origin washer made, which is how it impacts the bunnies, Nick. So basically, Camari suspended three games. Oh, sorry. Well, two games. If he takes the early guilty plea, right? Three games. If you choose this to fight and loses. So suspended for, I don't even worry what you call it, a shove off the bench. Oh, ridiculous. Yeah. It is. Uh, you know, whatever. Uh, look, I get, you know, them not wanting people who aren't playing the game at all to play like Ola who will get to an a sec. But you know, if you're on the bench and the fight literally spills onto the bench, which it did, right? Yeah, I can't, I can't see a thing there, right? It's one of those things as well. Like, if you're that outmanned, like, you got to go in, like, what was he meant to do? Just watch it? Oh, I don't know. No, exactly. It's, it's, it's real, um, I don't know, uh, the Queensland just got what they deserve there. But anyway, the, just just quickly, I was watching, um, uh, 360 just before we jumped on and Gordy was having it got mad to be like, Oh, you know, if someone does it in park footy, then they get 12 months. So, you know, why isn't Murray getting the rest of the season sort of thing? And they're both slips in. Oh, I think, uh, police as well got involved in that. He was on the page and got shut up. Oh, maybe exactly what he was to, because he only played the first 15 minutes and didn't come back on. She gets another weird orange and wash up, right? Like, why pick a guy for 15 minutes, especially like that? Yeah. Oh, well, yeah, if you, if you questions, I didn't get it all. I don't know why they made any of those changes to the starting line up, but obviously they felt it gave them the best opportunity. But I don't know. Yeah, I just don't know. I smelt they were trying to do some sort of an ambush. It just feels like it didn't pay off. There's just, I feel like, I just picked an absolute zero chill side. Like there's just, there's no friendliness apart from the captain, which is why the captain does 15 minutes, then comes off. They were missing their three most imposing forwards in Tino, Gilbert, and like the three angios, most imposing guys that were missing. So it was a pretty soft pack when you consider everything, you know, you consider who they're missing. Oh, well, you've certainly showed up in their performance because they got rolled like every set. It was, you know, just in the extra meters that they had to make. Yep. There you go. So look, at the next part of our workshop, obviously, Camo suspended. Rekkel is asking on the discord, which, by the way, if you guys haven't seen the NRO Fantasy Amateurs discord, it is excellent. Like Austin has made it. It has all sorts of things. It has trade chats. It has voice chats. It has all sorts of cool stuff in there. I'll say some more things. So Austin has to do it. It has poker machines, and it has Lamborghini racing and stuff like that. That doesn't have any of those things, but it's a winning bet tips as well, doesn't guarantee payouts. Okay, but more seriously, it does have like a whole bunch of cool things, including, you know, a bit of non, non fantasy chats. It's got all the different things. And it also has team updates. So whenever like a team puts out like a Facebook update or an injury update or something, they automatically come into the, into the lists, right? So you can just read it on the spot. So just go check it out. Anyway, on there, you also get the chance to ask us questions direct every week. So that's why the top of the list this week. So Frekkel is saying best mid to get this week can be catch out of premium variety. Tossing option like Colombe, Tongi, Terrell May, Murray, obviously before he was suspended, Curran, Nathan Brown, or getting on the TPJ roller coaster. So Nick, if you had to pick someone from that list, who would you pick? I already mentioned that I'm probably the biggest fan of Curran, just based on, I think, because Max King's he's gone for the season, but he's gone for the season. No, he's he's done. So, you know, Curran starting PPM, like, I just think he's one of those middles and they're just running out of middles. Tough tackling, running, just working middles. So I just I like his avenue to points. Colombe Tongi's probably a bit too expensive. Terrell May, they're going to get healthy. So I just can't talk anyone to Terrell May, and then he's only got two more games. While Lum, what's his name is suspended. Very high grapes are suspended, and then they go into the buy somewhere in there. But Terrell May is probably going to tear it up, even though I just got to tear it for two or three weeks. Like, if you've got final in the next couple of weeks, I'd probably say to Terrell May, because he you give him a starting role. He's he's got the PPM to do it. And with Pangai, it's sort of linked to the Plath chat, which is, you know, once, you know, Plath moves back to the middle, then there's maybe a little bit less opportunity for minutes and time for him, you know. So, I think it's open for TPG, because I think they're like the dogs, they're just showing genuine middles. So they got all these guys who can play a bit, but Jesse Bromwich has got that sternum injury, right? Yeah, I just I just think like he'll get some minutes, but not heaps. So if he's like a 30-ish 30-40-minute sort of guy, so 35 minutes, it's not really worth it. I don't think he'll necessarily be getting those 50 to 55 minutes sort of range. When Plath is back in that middle rotation, you know what I mean? So yeah, gosh. Yeah. So, and look, it I guess TPGA chat real quick. So having looked through stats last week, obviously did not get through a huge amount of work in the middle for he is 51. And yet, sorry for his 58 and 51 obviously got the meat pie, which was a very impressive one. But that was like a what a 12-13 point try. Yep. So if you take that away, so we're talking about 45 and 51, which is still pretty decent. So I guess he is perfectly priced though. So if you want to cash down guy, I figured that TPGA does have the role for the rest of the year because Fleglet won't be back from what we're hearing. There's a massive pod, 0.1% in the top 5,000, so and you can claim it's 18th man when everyone's healthy. But if you're looking for a guy to start with, I think you're right there with Karin as the long-term play Terrell May as the short term. If you want points in the next three weeks, Terrell May is the guy. I'm just trying to think if there's, is there anyone else? The only other guy that comes to mind, Nick, a bit more orange and wrap-up chat, okay? @carrigan spotted in a moon boot after the game. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, bloody hell. He's so good. I love Patty. Yeah. What are you thinking, mate? Okay. Well, maybe half-time. I'm thinking maybe half-time. So basically, past they watched Jerry talk to him in the sheds afterwards, says, "Look, a bit sore." You know, in the sheds was having a little bit of a sic. He was doing some real hard yards at the end there, right? Yeah. Yeah. He was absolutely, like, his second step was very good, but he obviously worked very hard for it. Oh, yeah. But if he backs up, he's the guy that I like the most to be like, if you want a guy who's going to go absolutely ham the next two or three weeks, if Patty's going to miss a few with like a bit of a foot injury, I figure he's probably got the best upside. Yeah. 56 minutes for us. What a deal. You'd like to see that maybe pie 40s from a fantasy point of view, but 15 runs, 120 meters. Yeah. Plenty of work. Tough. Yeah. I'm just trying to find that. 30 tackles, but it's all tough stuff at the end of the day, you know? Oh, it was such an ugly game. Like, I feel like so many people aren't going to back up. Yeah. I'd be surprised if Payne does because he's got that niggling knee anyway, you know? Look, it's just they might need him, especially if Carrigan's not playing because how did Carrigan play the full lady? He did. He played the full 80, like 50 something tackles, and 17 runs, 164 meters. Yeah. It's 61 post-contact meters. Yeah. He was, he was really trying his guts out. Like, you can't, you can't blame him for a much shattered last time. He was, he was a cut above everyone to the forward pack. He and Lindsey Collins, as far as the tackle efficiency, were just miles above everyone else. Yeah, but I think what I really liked about Queensland last night is they really got stuck into the tackles. Like, game two, they were just more interested in sort of catching them and wrestling them and slowing it down, whereas last night they had just got stuck in. It was awesome to see both teams just ripping in with their shoulders and hitting at the ball and a bit of, a bit of, a bit of rubbish on the ground afterwards, but it's not like, you know, that Melbourne style where it's like basically like strangling the- It's huge. Yeah, I gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was so good. But yeah, Carrigan was a huge part of that last night. He was so good. Sure. From a fanny system point, actually, Queensland killed New South Wales last night. Made so many more tackles. Oh, yeah. Like, even if you look at the full-back Dylan Edwards 42, like, out of all the backs, right? Upscores is 45 and 49 for Moses, right? Yep. 56 for Haas, whereas on the maroon side, while she was 61, 45 for Gago and Hammer, did him with a 55-chezer 57, had his 64. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. And look, Ben Hunt didn't score very high, but it's because he stopped Spencer and you hit with his face. Yeah, well, you know, Kefusi and Ponga and Hunt sort of did really nothing between them, didn't they? Oh, they're just- It's just wasn't the right game for them, I don't think. Not open enough. Yeah. But yeah. I guess the real thing is here. So let's get back to the chat is- Fast time. Ain't Haas. So if he's playing, if you know that you've got a trade, which, you know, maybe someone on the buy, and you've got the cash to do it to Haas, would you do it this week? Yeah. I've been looking at it really closely. So I've got Aiken and I need a center. So that's one of my headaches, but I'm sort of being like, used to you. I've got like your blade is tiny. I've got a weight eigen problem. And I'm just sort of thinking, like, can I upgrade to is this the week to get Haas or not? And you're sort of thinking maybe it is the- I think if you get confirmation that Patty's busting, I figure that, yeah, paying Haas, they just cannot, because they've got to win six out of the next seven, right? Or at least five out of the next seven to make it through to the finals. If they don't have paying Haas, playing minutes. And Reynolds, I don't think, will be back for another two weeks, right? It could be all over if they don't win. So- Yeah, I've ever seen the Knights as well, which is pretty good, I think. They've got a pretty strong forward pack, but it's not overwhelming. So Haas could do pretty well there. They could just be concerned that, yeah, these other guys come back and just tune them up around the edges like the Knights. If they lose this, they're in a lot of trouble. Yeah, yeah, the Knights will probably tell them up. You're right on the edges and the back's home. Yeah, and find out. And plus, they've got a couple of other tough games. They've got Bulldogs who've been tough this year, and then Titans who have vastly improved. Yep. And then Cowboys. So, yeah. Yeah, I do like the Haas by all in all, if he's- if you get to the, where's the one hour update and the six starting? Saturday, 4.30 by the look of things. It's just pretty, pretty rough. Yeah, just to see two games in. Just to see at the 24-hour mark, if he's still in there, he's likely to be in. So, which is tomorrow 5.30, which is before the captaincy locked out. Yeah. And Haas is obviously going to go getting buses rest of the year. He's cheap at the moment, 8.30K for, you know, best forward in fantasy. So, yeah, he's a great guy. Excellent. Otherwise, the other guys that we talked about, let's get onto the next question, which is, Rabbis Knight 3 is talking about, just to think Mario will be solid by an edge. Well, he's not there anymore. So, obviously, he's asked before the game. So, Haas back and wanted to look. I thought that Mario is probably going to play a bit of a hybrid role, but obviously a couple of extra weeks just makes him a bit of an issue. Rabbis still still makes him. If you got Murray, I'd probably lean to holding him right. Two games, and then you get the rest of the season. Yeah. If you bought him last way, which seems a risky bid, but if he did it, yeah, I'd hold for two weeks. The trades are gold this time of year. Yeah. All right. He's going current looking good, which we talked about a thousand times, but he's talking about his theory. So, he's tempted to captain clearly this week because there's not with Hines gone, right? With Harts maybe not backing up with Yo out. There are no mega solid fantasy options this week, like this for Fedah, but he's against Manly, who just run around the middle. They do not play through the middle, right? You got Hughes and Catoa versus the Roosters, which could be a really tight game, like for both sides. So, you're not sure about any of those guys are saying with Teddy against the storm, you know, he might not get the thousand points a week he's been getting. So, Jaden Campbell gets Manly if they get towed up. So, I guess this week, is it if you're going to get clearly, would you captain him this week, even with the news that he might be sharing some of the kicking? Yeah, no. I think you've got to wait that week on clear, the breakeven 96. Just not sure, given the week, just wait it out. There's not going to have to go forward. The resting, like, basically the origin stars, aren't they? So, no, they're, it was a new. So, the resting, it was a new. So, probably Lee Martin as well, by the look of how he pulled up after the game. Yeah, yeah, and that's huge, to be honest, missing those guys. I know, obviously, you got JFH, The Oda, and Lizzy Smith. But, yeah, so... Yeah, I reckon there'll be a K there, but another bit of origin chat. I just read the week. Just a bit of origin chat. Dylan Edwards. So, out for two to four weeks for the PC L injury. Yeah, not good, eh? Not good. No. So, I guess, obviously, if you own him, I probably at this point, sell him with only eight games left in the season, possibly missing four at the remaining eight. But, yeah, I guess, you know, probably not enough time for Dane Laurie, right? No, no, Dane, Dane Laurie's fantasy relevance, even when he's playing isn't great. He's had a couple of good games this year. So, when he's played at Fallback, so thirty-seventy-fifty-four. Yeah, he can be good. And he showed that when he was nice cash care at the Tigers. But, yeah, I just don't love it personally. Rocky, it's just rocks and diamonds, right? That's it. Apparently, he ran for 343 meters against, in round 14, against the seagull. So, that's pretty insane. Yeah, that's not happening again. No, that's true. No, I'm just impressed. That's like all-time record territory. Yeah. Awesome. Next up, we've got Jim is asking, "Is Tidesco too expensive or still a buy?" Still a buy. He's the number one, going full-back with Campbell at the moment. So, I think you have to get him. He's basically a must. Yeah, he's been averaging 60-plus in his non-injury games this year. It feels like, and they've got a real easy run coming up. So, just looking at the next run of games. So, after this week against Melbourne, the seagulls at home, dolphins, the buy, which is round 23, I think. Then, they got Para at home, Dolcust away, Canberra at home, rabbits away. So, it should be some great, like, good-scoring games for them there. Like, doing about no sides, which should be in the top eight, if you count mainly the dolphins in there. Yep. So, which they are in the top eight, but geez, I'm not sure they're going to be by the end of the season. Awesome. And, yeah, looking at, I'm just pulling up what he's actually averaging this year. So, if he plays over 70 minutes, yeah, basically 60. So, pretty good. Yeah. Although, warning people who were wanting to captain him this week, his two were scores of the year. His 29 was versus the Storm Round 7, and then 40 a week later backing up against the dragons. But I think that's because they scored so many points, Teddy just couldn't get in on it. Yep. All right. Nick, next question for you, mate. Jimmy is asking best edge to get for the run home. I guess maybe Disney too, because he's probably got one of them. Yeah. The easiest, obviously, is for Theta. No more buys, and even if he gets 60 minutes, he gets a 60, 70. He just crazes you. But, you know, attracting the group chat, for those that sold out of Angus Creighton, I, you just get the feeling that, particularly after last night, that he's just going to return to serious form for the roosters. He might be spelled a bit backing up this weekend, but for the rest of the season, as you mentioned, he could absolutely go insane. That's true. They do have a good run, same as Sidesco. But are you worried about that burner that he got in his neck that he may not necessarily back up this week? Yeah. So, I would obviously wait to see that he's backing up before getting him. He's breaking in 63. He can easily gobble that up. And, yeah, I think it's basically those two guys. Ellicottal has come off the boil a bit, Mitch Barnett, obviously. No, he's been on a tear. And, you know, plenty of injuries middle of the game. But, you know, with no totem and things like that, like, he could be a hard 56, low 60s guy, anyway, now, right? He's certainly a fantasy relevant guy, for sure. Like, there's certainly some interest there. Working with 13. So, I'm not saying get him for cash, but it's just you're not going to lose it, you know, if something did happen to him, you know? That's true. The other one is, yeah, you mentioned Ellicottal there. I think he will come good with the storms run home. So, yeah, like, he's had sort of like, I think two down games, but the rest of them have been pretty decent to the 550s. I've had him for a while now, so I haven't been too disappointed. I'm just trying to look through the rest of them. Obviously, the other guys who have mentioned is guys like, if you need a bit cheaper, Bateman, obviously, plays a game. The other guy is really interesting for me. Nick is, you're all made the other edge forward for the Titans. Both of them. Yeah, I know. All right. He's, what do you get last week? Six times. Yeah, he's gone. He's a bit up and down at the moment. But he's been playing a lot of center. And so, I figured that, you know, once he stops having to play center, when he, when he start coming better, so I, I've, Vermore has been in about a third of my trades for them in doing this week. And the fact that he may get that DPP center, that's really juicy. That's really where it's at, is if he gets another 60, he's going to make a bit of money, and then you can move him back into your centers for the rest of the year. He's had four starts at center, though, obviously, one of them, he was moved at the beginning of the game, like, you know, in the couple of hours before. So he's had three starts, 12, 14, 16. Yeah. Yeah. And he's, he's named the back row this week, I think. So, he's, it's really up to, it's just a line ball call from Ben Hub. Ben Hub. Yeah. That's true. Do you trust you as a fan hub? No, no. So, so I think you, I think save maybe a bit of coin, maybe pick up the bait men and current idea. And then next week, maybe look at bringing in your gun center for more potentially and just maybe keep your options open. Yeah, like it. Excellent. So look, there's, yeah, there's not too many other guys out there. Obviously another news, Nick, I'll acquire. She's suspended. Oh, mate. I totally went over my head. So, I've got all acquired. I got him last week. I was like, sweet. I value it. She's going to be good. You know, he's trying to cut us out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah. They've got to play well and, he should be pissed off not making origin. There's lots of things to like. And then, well, he just walks over, grabs a couple of jerseys in, he, so he misses the next two weeks, and then he hits the bar. It's just like, God, ah, feel. So, really, it's in the cell and hold. Well, that's the thing is, is that, well, you miss three of the next eight games. That's close to a cell. I don't know if I can do it, though, because, because like realistically, I'm only playing like, I want to get a good rank, but I, I mainly want to keep my trades for head to head as well. Like, no, I've got two masters here, you know, like, of course. So, I guess for overall, I would be concerned, if you held all the kuatu, like, maybe try and find an exit, but see what your depth is like. If you're, if you're a top 300 or something, then, yeah, maybe look at, maybe on our kuatu, you know, but if you made the. Yeah, exactly. All right. Okay. So, short M is going three best pod mid options need a Hail Mary. So, I think we've already talked about TPJ as being a great pod option for the value, right? As far as middles go. So, looking through the rest, I think that for look to roll may, I think will be a pod because it's just going to go absolutely hammed the next couple of weeks. So, we'll go absolutely great guns. I'm not sure what Connor Watson's ownership is still only 3.5% Nick, but he seems to be. Wow. Huge amount of minutes in the middle for them. Yeah. So, I'll probably pick him above to roll may if you have the choice. There's a big big is he's 10% top 5000. Yeah. But it's still a great pod play at that level. Yep. Yeah, pretty solid. So, the next, so look, I'd say Connor Watson would be great play TPJ as well because between the two of them, you're there rice pretty reasonably. If you could take them as a pair. Other guy that I was looking through when I was just having a quick scrape before, obviously, Adam Funil Blake. Yes, he misses around 27. It's 683K, tow who is done the season. I can see big minutes for Adam. Yeah, absolutely. The Warriors need to win this class ladder is that process ridiculous. Yeah, especially if you're born in like the 75780s. Yeah, he's basically a high seven, like 800 sort of guy, like it's getting him on special, basically, you know, it's good shopping. You really are. And look, there was they're still in very good contention to play finals this year. So they're really, they're only three points outside the aid at this stage with a buy in their pocket. Yeah. Yeah. I reckon they're going to try the absolute guts out to win the next three or four. Yep. And then who I'm just going to say what greatest tigers, eels, dolphins, seagulls, and then bulldog sharks. Holy crap, that's soft. Oh, what? The next four is pretty soft, too. That is soft. That's like off-loaded city. Cheese. And then seagulls, depending on how they're going, depending which seagulls they are, depending. And then obviously dogs and sharks could be tougher, but you know, still not a bad one. Yeah, and I've been off the buy. You like getting forwards off the buy as well. When, you know, they're coming into a stretch like this, it's, yeah, everything gets the niggles go away, right? Yeah, it's just the head-to-head problem, obviously, you know, if you're grandpa around 27 or very few are unless you're in a cat, had an in chaos or family head-to-head leagues. So yeah, that's what I love around 27. Sorry, it's because I was people listening home is because I set up the leagues each year. So I'd just put it for around 27 just because it's stuffed up with everyone's trades. I also haven't won in like three years. Oh, so there we go. I paid for this year. All right, SinMatte is going to rate these trade options. So he's got Heinz de Cleary, which seems like, I know we said wait on Cleary, but he's got all these guys out, right? Eight into Cheekam. So I guess Michael Cheekam is looking like he's firming up on an edge, Nick. Yep. Coming off of 50 or financial last week, look pretty good. He's in the eye trade list this week, or 13K dual position. He's got Safartha Watson. So obviously he's got some cash Safartha Watson, and then he's got Max King to Ellie Catoa. I like all of those. That's basically perfect. Because he's so short on trades, getting Cleary and now he's fine. He's got eight trades left, so he's burning four, but green Cleary now means three just keep them married to him. All the only there, actually three keepers Cleary, Watson and Catoa are in there. Only one game for the rest of the season between them. So look, you could go Catoa down to Curran to just to put a bit of bank. As you know what, I reckon Catoa will get the rest around 27. So if you're playing head to head, Catoa's the play. If you're playing overall, I get Curran. Yep. I just don't like having because in this trade here, just for listeners, he's got zero bank leftovers, so it's perfect to the dollar. This is one of those issues where it just gives you no flexibility for your next single trade, because he'll probably only want to make single trades for the rest of the year, and you don't want to be boxed in completely, necessarily. All right. Max Johnson is asking the question here. Obviously he asked this before the game, because it involves all Aquado coming in. So obviously you're not doing that no more. So if you change the Aquado to someone else, we'll work it out, but eight into Fogarty. So Fogarty is back, Nick. Big news. 750k come off the biceps like the drink or the milkshake as far as the kicking game goes. Maybe after this game, I'm thinking, wait a week on Fogarty. What about you? He's a mid to high 50s guy. I think he's a pretty strong buy in this economy. Yeah. Would you have him above Dylan Brown? No, because the prices of his guy kicking 600k of 750. Yeah. And for his breaking, it's 80, essentially. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'd probably go, I'd probably go Fogarty unless you don't have the cash. If you don't have the cash, I'd go Brown. I just think Fogarty's a known quantity. He's done it over two years now. All the milkshake, Ethan Strange doesn't keep the ball. Yeah. That's it. Okay. So it's got Fogarty. He's got Randall coming in because apparently he's only hooker is currently hens, which is insane. It's got Sharp out to Pain House, which is obviously the trade of the year if you've got 500 grand spare and Max King to Oluquardo, who won't be there anymore. So we're saying to save Oluquardo, you could either go get Karan or you could go get your statement. Eight men. Yep. I like all of those. They still look pretty good. I'd personally go Randall to someone else. That's true. You could go into the stall and then bring him for the feeder instead of Oluquardo, the 200k that you say. Yeah. So then you get three keepers and then you get a cash. Yeah. I just don't know if Randall's going to be that guy. He could be. He obviously could be like a cut price keeper, but it's just risky getting cut price keepers compared to known keepers. Well, especially with these sides, they changed by the minute. Totally. Especially for those weird spots. Like, I think Randall's been named about seven times and played somewhere else to see. Yeah. It's too stressful. Who needs any life? That's it. All right. Dundee's asking. Best sent to buy this week, Nick. Needs to replace Aiken, has Garrick and Iro on a buy. It's tossing up between me and Tago. I'm in exactly the same position. And I was trying to mum and I was thinking, um, the Hammer, um, who was singing the Hammer in the group chat? Was it, um, right? Oh, right. No, no, no, it was Austin. And then, um, I don't think Austin mentioned as well that Wharton would be the guy to get, but I was looking at Tago. He's lost that much cash. He's like low 400s with Cleary coming back. He's in the sense that you happen to buy. You're just having to buy him without knowing that he's back to form. That's the only danger. Oh, yeah. He hasn't had a good game yet. He's been dropping a ball. He's been, he's been pulled this year, right? Like, he's been benched a couple of times, like, hooked during the game up a thing. Like, I've just, like, like, you know, when you get someone after the game in, like, oh, you can see that they're back, right? Whatever issue that they had, whatever mental issue or physical issue is gone, right? I see like, I'm in. So, like, uh, whereas, um, I haven't seen that with Tago. So if you're doing it, you're just taking the punt that Cleary unlocks him. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, he's lost, like, the most money, I think, in the league at the moment. Um, so it's just so dirt cheap. Like, um, so I've got, I've got a whiten in there at the moment, but I'm sort of thinking, um, going further cheaper, maybe is again, and just because, because, because, it depends on whether you want to play them or not. Like, if you only want to week, go get Tago, right? If you want, if you cover for the rest of the year, and then they're going to sit on the bench and occasionally come in. If you want to play this person every game for the rest of the year, you pick Jack what? Well, he's drinking the milkshake. Yeah. Roger, two of us, a check. He's on the wing, um, which, you know, was the last time he played on the wing, mate. Okay. I know it's been a while, but his involvement. Well, he was at the roosters mate before he went to the Warriors for years, and then before he went back to rugby and then came back to the Warriors. No, totally, totally. And, you know, this is a bit of a spiel, but he's been a fantasy failure in the centers and, um, I don't think they've particularly used him all that. Well, no action on the footy field, um, like giving him quality early ball and, um, yeah. Anyway, and the edges have been a mess as well around him on that side of the field. Like it's just been a rotating cast of edges. Anyway, um, on the wing, he will get more running meters. He will get more tackle busts and those, uh, Roger, two of us, a checks bread and butter. Now, if you start to add on some, you know, more tries and attacking stats on line breaks and things like that. I think he could turn around from where he is right now, um, at 454 K with a DP bait. No, I'm not saying he's like an absolute gun center. Obviously he's not goal kicking. He's not general by kicking. It is absolute taking a punt, but, you know, if you don't have the money necessarily, um, because like to use a question, Dundee's point, it sounds like dog's breakfast at the top of the, um, chart there, like no one wants to pay that sort of money for random and best of day and go guy at the moment, considering neither of them goal kick or general play kick. So the question is, would you get him or would you say 30 can't get Tago? Well, I had, I had Tago in there and I'm sort of thinking, well, I don't think whitens a keeper center personally. Okay. I do. I think it is a keeper center. Now that he's moved to five eight, it looks like he's made the spotter zone for the rest of the year, but it keeps you like 500 meters. I think he will continue to keep on doing it. He will continue to drink Cody Walker is not a very good field place kicker. That's why LaTrell was doing it. And I reckon that if the roosters, so the rabbits lose one more game, they're pulling up stumps on their season. They're sending everyone for surgery, right? I, I get a good feeling that they may just let, um, uh, let LaTrell ride out the rest of the season. Why risk him getting injured, right? And cop in six months and missing their off season with Wayne when you could just take care of him and give some, give gray a run. Yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm not disagreeing. It's just a risk, cause it, cause I looked at what and five hundred and forty eight kilometers, 110 running meters, three line break assists for 58, like, don't get wrong. It's fantastic, but it just, it just scares me because Sierra got the double the week before for a 67. I just think it's a bit of fool's gold. I think he's more of a high 30s sort of guy, low 40s. I don't think he's a 50s sort of guy. Do you know what I mean? Whereas I think he, I think it'd be close to the high 40s type of guy, kind of like when he was at the Raiders, cause he's doing the exact same role again. He's just running the team around before Fogarty came, but he, he, he's, he'd like rotted away. Like his, his fantasies cause of being eroding in the house for years now. Oh, well, they have been, because Fogarty came, started drinking the milkshake. I've just think the Cody Walker is not that guy. He's not going to drink the white milkshake. Yeah. And LaTrell was too with the situation. It's different. Yeah. Yeah. It's a different situation. And LaTrell's not there. Cody Walker's not the guy. Like white means the best player in that spine. He's just, it's, it's not a natural position. Like he doesn't want to drink on him. I don't know. It's just a lot of things I don't like about it. So that's why I'm thinking going elsewhere. Like the hammer's going to be worth a shot two at five for 60 cage. It's a bit more of whiten. He's going to be a solid mid 40s guy. You know, he'll be in that mid 40s, maybe even high 40s, but whiten, obviously high ceiling, potentially low floor. I'm not sure. Yeah. I, I'd say high floor with the kicking, but I do get your point lower, lower ceiling than the hammer who can get a triple, but you know, it is what it is. And the dolphins are traveling aren't they everywhere and got a pretty hard schedule from memory. So looking at the fixtures for the hammer, the next five Panthers at home, so Panthers away, tightens at suncorp, roosters, warriors at suncorp, bulldogs, storm, broncos, nights. Yeah, it's absolute filth. In fact, I reckon that's the hardest one home that I've seen. Like, okay, Titans, but they're still performing, but otherwise you've got Panthers, roosters, warriors who are looking to try and keep their season, the bulldogs, the second best defensive team. You're a competitive team, storm, broncos at suncorp and then the nights around 27. Yeah, it's filth. Yeah. All right. Just quickly though, if you, the hammer, if you take out the injury game, he's averaging 50 this year. So yeah, you're right. It's only seven games and he's scored over a try game, but still 50 is pretty solid. It is. All right. Let's keep it going. Do we think Sen and Smith at the roosters bench will impact Connor, what's his minutes? Do you think that he played the entire 80 at lock? I think Sen and Smith will probably Watson will play probably close to the 6570 rather than the full 80, necessarily. So I think that, look, the impact is Connor Watson a bit, but I don't think that it's Connor Watson's going to play 40, right? I think it'll be like Brandon Smith cover, maybe for a little like maybe Sen and comes on him and then Watson goes to hook for a while. It's just that he might get 10 minutes sitting on the bench, especially after back up the margin. Okay. Man that Monty is going Aiken, Maxi King and Debellan Debeast, Savage, Teddy and Watson. Now, Savage, I'm guessing, is just a cash out option at wing full back. So which, you know, and I haven't minded how Savage has looked, but he's at 29 he 4k. I can understand he's a great essentially a cash out at this point. Yeah. Green Dot. Green Dot, somewhere in your squad. So, but he's turning into two keepers, which is Teddy, who's obviously missed the boat on and Watson. I don't mind it. That's clean. Yeah. Don't love it. But yeah. It's full, it's absolutely full freight for these guys. They do have the buy coming up as well. So just as long as you can cover the buy mainly, Dey is going, what's to do with Alaquado trade last week? We already talked through that one, Nick, right? Which is, hold if you can, if you can't sell him. Yeah. And what do you think of trading in doobags as secondary half versus someone like Whiting and then waiting a week to see how Fogarty clear in DC Ego. Because obviously, he's a big thing from the origin wrap up Nick. DC was absolutely smashed last night. They absolutely ran at him all night. Angus Creighton basically put his forearm right on each like inch of his neck. And that's all he had a neck. Yep. So while running the ball, so I probably, as far as Chezer goes, well, giving the week, I think, because like DC just might not be 100%, doesn't have his favorite man Alaquado outside him. He's a backing up specialist, DC. He is fair enough. So I guess, have a look there. It's just, I haven't seen them where he's been like, is that dumb as it sounds like Hamad so much? Yeah, he's definitely copped it for sure. So but would you be doing Dylan Brown on the buy? No, no, not on the buy. No, that's, yeah, I like it. So essentially you wait the week on Dylan Brown, or if you need some of this week, go get one. That's fine. Instagram. Yeah, I just, just, just quickly, I think Ryan and Mark were sort of saying, if you can play Whiting in your halves this week and then move it to centers next week, then that's a pretty solid option. So you can see how this all shacks out. Yeah, very true. I like it. Insta is going over sleeping on Randall. How many games do you think you're missing to the end of the year? So, yo, obviously missing this week. So I reckon that he may get a rest, but it depends. This could be his rest till the end of the year, essentially. Yeah, I think it is. The paintings, if they drop this week, I reckon the chance of you being arrested and go goes down each week afterwards. Yeah. So, because essentially if they can lock up a top two spot, then that's great. But if they lose this week, and the rooster's win, they'll be equal for points on second. So, it'll be ugly. Obviously, there won't, no one will catch Melbourne at that point. And if Melbourne lose, and if Penrith, whereas if Penrith win, they'll only be one game of art with a game in hand against each other. So, yeah, could be ugly. Yeah, but the difference between me and one and two, like no one really cares. Right. That's it. So, yeah, I would think that yo are probably just this week, unless they win this week, and like all the right things pan out for them to all get the round 27 rest. Buzz 91 is saying Grant Samani for the usual, say 50, or makes some dollars in Grant Brandall, worried about Randall's minutes as a four forward bench here. I think Randall is a concern just to do his whole grant. If you got Grant, whole grant. Yeah, I think that's it. Me too. Exactly the same whole grant. If you held him all this time, which you probably have, like he's almost a buy level just at his price. I think I might go next week, for sure. Yeah. Once he's recovered, because he did get Spencer Leonard. He did thousands. So, he did. It's a both focus. Yeah, that's a very grant. He took it. It took a bit of the men hunt, for sure. Jesus. Yeah. My God. Okay. Jacob star nine. Aiken, King in hands. Aiken King in three players, two players who are out once on the buy. The Haas, Tago and Cheese, good trades, has our people going to hold hence getting cheese in. Look, I don't mind the cheese play. He's just so cheap at this point. I know that some people get starling. Yeah, you can probably get starling at this point. In fact, hold on. Yeah. How much does Brandon Smith full 42? He's actually not that much more expensive. 70K is a lot of this time of year, though. Just get starling. Yeah, it's probably true. He'll get more minutes as well. He's coming off the 25 versus the dragon. So, yeah, go get starling. Yeah. The, I have a cheese still. Like, should I just cut bait? Yeah, it might as well go get starling. Make some money. Tago, Haas and Tago, a great options mate. Casual athlete is going clearly this week and next week, we've pretty clearly said next week, the break even, the fact that he's probably going to split his kicking, the fact that we just don't know, right? He's already come back once this year from the injured and then got them busted afterwards. I'd want to see him for a week and I'm like a Panthers fan. I'm a clearly guy. I bought him in, what, 2020 when he wasn't the guy yet and had him ever since and it's worked out well for me, but I'm saying don't get him. The hunt in '91 is saying it's too early to bring in origin guns. They're like a Walshponger Carrigan Haas. Should we wait until after 20 case they are arrested? Well, I'm guessing did this before origin, but yes, this, I guess a bit more origin wash up Nick. I'm not sure that I've seen like a tougher on the body game of footy in a while. No, no. Yeah. Like a lot of ugly tackles and when I say ugly, like the second and third person are coming in, they're pulling the forearm down, they're putting the elbow in, they're just trying to do the same on the ground to win them. The initial contact, like you could see like the heads, shoulders, spine, just things moving, like, you know, like the ballcarries are getting smashed, absolutely smashed. That's it. And then sometimes the ballcarries were just running at the smaller boys on the other side as well, and they were getting smashed. So exactly, exactly. I could not pick Walsh this week. The only guy of these ones I could pick is Pongar because Pongar did not play that many minutes. And Indian and Haas. And Haas, if he backs up, if he's in that 24 hours for one. Aragon, no. Moon Boot says no. Walsh, no. Cotta look, I know that Cotta apparently said to someone on the Instagram that he's going to back up. But again, I don't know how he's going to back up dude. Like he was annihilated, right? He's insane. So look, if I do it, but I'm saying that he won't be peak. So I'll probably hold along. He probably will be he's caught. He's a beast. He's got no chill. All right. Luke, Adam and Zad, it's going got Aiken, chance and sharpest trades with the trailer question. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, I can. Oh, mate, I've got I've got the same issue. I've got Aiken King Latrel this week. Like my bench before trades is like so bad. I've Aiken King Latrel, a lucky Iro little yo on the rest. Jeez. Yeah. But look, Luke's got Aiken King and Sharp with Latrel. You can either get a gun in Haas Cleary, a cash in styling and someone under 550k, like a Howarth or a G-camp. They have cash, job grade, young and weeks to a leak gun next week. We can do random Watson styling, no cash, but three playable players. I take personally Haas, our styling, and then like a, well, let's check Howarth for a sec. Howarth seems to want that center job, Nick. Yeah, I agree. Low break, even this week. Well, because he's playing with Meany back, right? Even if it cheek him, he's got the edge spot. So he's probably got 10 points with them upside. That's what I think. Yeah. But let's just naturally. Aiken lack of safety team. Equal lack of safety with host. Yeah. It's more, well, after a couple of weeks with host, yeah, finally making his way back. Actually, that makes me worried about cheeking. But also, like, Howarth, if he has a couple of bad games, like he could get up. No, I don't think so. I honestly, like, you look at who's playing for those center spots. They are not dudes. Like, Howarth looks like a dude to me. Those other guys are not dudes. Yeah, like, I get it. But I'm saying that there's still other people there in the storm, right? Like there's EMR. But they're not, they're not dudes men. I always need to have the spot, like, Howarth got the spot, like, after cycling through all those options, and he hasn't been dropped. So, I know I get it. I'm saying if he's got a couple of bad games, you could see Grenance and Remus Smith, like, one of these guys come back in, right, survey, like, what one of these guys just come back into contention. That's all. Yeah. I'm pretty confident Howarth is going to stay there, so I'll probably be wrong. So. No, I look, I think, I think they've been preparing for a couple years to play somewhere and they weren't sure what the second I was saying. Like, you wouldn't, you wouldn't bring him into play heading into the finals, like, when they have, like, Do you know what I mean? Like, if they, if they weren't willing to play on the rest of the year, they wouldn't have brought him in based upon how they treated him this last couple years. I want you to talk about their edges, though, this year, right? They've cycled through it before they settled on Bloor. They've cycled through, like, 16 players on the edge because they'll cycle until they find the right person at the storm. What's the ball unhealthy at the beginning of the year? But even when he was healthy and in, they still had Chan there, if you remember, they've had a game Bradley there. They had all sorts of players cycle through their edge position. Bloor lost it for a little while. Like, you know, there were different people playing there each week. You can tell if they finally got it right. Yep. All right. Let's, so, mate, we, I'd say, bring in Haas, Starling, and then how with less scores, probably a bit safer, go ahead, Nick or Chi Cam, if you want a couple of higher scores. I was a cheater. They're center options for the running home. Money, not a problem. So if money is not a problem, that's a little bit of a different issue, right? Well, no, it's a bigger issue because you don't, there's no one to spend it on because there's no value at the top of the tree there. Yeah, you're probably right there. Looking at the guys who are near the top, who you can pick this week. It's best in Gaga. It sucks. Yeah, look, if you've got a camera, but if you're already with guys, yeah. Yeah. Look, Kares, is I say, I'm not like Kares. No, Garak. Garak's a good option, though. Yeah, I'm going to buy one. I have Garak. Yeah. Oh, I sold them to Hidesco. So look, Garak's a great buy. Garak is a great buy as far as people need the top tree. Heavy farm worth is, will be an out-and-out performer because he's their best talent and piece of the back line. I'll probably pick up Hammer before him though. Like, you're right. He will still perform because he's just got that electric speed. Yeah. After that, you down to Jack Wat. 400K less. Yeah. Yeah. And after that Jack Wat, and after that, as far as the rest of the season goes, I would skip everyone in between them and Tago, every single one, and just go pick up Tago and hopefully comes good and doesn't get dropped in the play, you know, Luke Danna out there, which they could, I'll be honest with you. Yeah, I'm with you. Oh, they hooked him during the final. They do exactly that. Callum Grigio 90. When will we hear from the good Jesset brother? Well, you heard from your mate on the Tuesday podcast. So he'll probably take over now. So he's got all that money. He's probably going to have all those like KFC matches. That's right. That's it. That's right. There you go. Yeah. If he wins number one spot, I think Mark will have to bail out, sorry. Um, okay. Callum Green 24 is a two-risk green ponger and clear this week. Trading at Trellum Brown. So look, um, no, uh, pong is fine. Leary is, look, you're just sitting in some money on fire and you're risking the chance to get injured. So two risk is up to you, mate. So, uh, we your teams that if you are down to eight trades and you're making four, which include these two, these two trades, then yes, it's too risky. You have 12 trades, probably not. So that's where we're at. I probably also hold brand at this point. I'll be honest with you. I'd hold and wait on Cleary. Yep. Yep. That's solid advice. Yep. Evan Smith, she's cutting our hole with a guy injured. Uh, no. Cardi is not a hole with Moses injured. Uh, Isaiah Solomon Richie, who's more of a seller. So this one's for unique Trell, Met, Max King, Aiken, Hans Sharpe. Um, Max King, Aiken and Sharpe are on the same level, I think. Um, they've got to go. Trell Met, you can have a think and Hans is probably above Trell Met in terms of Pro to go. So I'd sell Max King, Aiken, Britain, Hans, and Fletcher Sharp this week. I like it. Yeah, Fletcher Sharp is done. The River of 33, um, has got a good trade. Well, maybe it's a good trade. I haven't read it yet. Stephane. No, I love it. I love it. Aiken and Jayden Braley. The Campbell, Ramble and Turb, Randall and Turbo. Love it. I think Aiken Turbo is honestly a really sneaky buyer this week. No one owns him. Everyone's too scared. He's 600k, um, it's been a bus. It's absolutely been a bus. He could be like 60s on the way home. It could be 40s, but, um, he could be, he looks, but he absolutely could. Yeah, but I do like if you got the trades, if you got the trades, it's breaking in 42. So if you are a Turbo fan, three in the top 100, how did what stuff? That's crazy. Well, there must have been last week then that had to have bought him last week. The point is he's bombed out. So if you were going to get Turb when you like him, then that's a week. Yeah, I like it. Um, pod, pod, pod, pod. I'd just say Randall instead of Randall, uh, looking, but probably need a hooker. That's why you're getting Randall. Yeah, I'd say get stalling. Uh, look, Randall is unless you need, unless you got no other risk, if you got another risk in your squad, get Randall. Yeah. But Randall and Turbo just feels a bit insane. All right. That's what I'm saying. There's a lot of risk there, but it's, it's just one of those ones where, look, there's, there is upside. It's just that there's also a lot of downside, right? They're like, you gotta, you gotta feel that abyss, don't you? Like, like, you do. You just have to feel like that little crack of like risk back in your life when you pick up someone like turbo after this many consecutive long term injuries that just happen out of nowhere. It's not like he's doing it. Nothing. It's not like he's skydiving or racing down the course. So anymore. No, it's just like walking. Yeah. That's it. You know, I'm not going to mention snipers because of recent events though. Yeah. All right. Monty Duncan is going, just has one word and it's fog with a question mark on the end. And this is, for me, is a yes. Fog. Fog is good. And so for me is wait a week. I would Monty, uh, 80 break even. He will drink a lot of the milkshake though. If you're going for absolute points towards the end of the year, you can do it. Yeah. Next week you get to have a look at Brown, Cleary, Fog, all those guys, you know, I like it. All right. Uh, next question here, uh, is from Jeff Mepo, head to head player, three, 22, can the bank Picura? He's held Picura this long, uh, 21, 720 K or under. Who's the best option? Mm hmm. Uh, anyone 720 K or under? I'm just looking through the list now. Uh, yep. 720 is an interesting number because it just gets you underneath the top of some of these guys who are just like outro buyers. So look, um, if you knew that Cherry Evans was playing, you could probably pick him up. Is this breaking in this low? He generally goes on a run, but he's just so beaten up. I just, if you can wait until the game, uh, which is probably the 24 hour update and Chesley could be okay. Uh, I think I think Jane Campbell's got to be up there. Jane Campbell is a great shout. I like that one. It's just 88 K gives you a little bit of money in the bank and he's got genuine like 60s type of potential human AFB around that price point. 680. I like it. Uh, yeah. That guy's, I'd say, is you can have a look at Ellie Katara in there. Uh, probably, uh, the Cherry Greens break him is just a bit too high to, to go after. Yeah. All right. Uh, keep it moving. Um, Jim is, uh, is saying at this point, I, he gives up with all the injuries and the buyers, too many buyers in his opinion. Well, mate, uh, when is, uh, the Perth Bears coming in now? 27. Yep. So look, it's not the best, but, um, you do only have two more use this to put up with me. So at that point, well, at that point, I don't know how the buy system's going to work because it could mean that they just play an extra game and compress the season or it could mean that they, um, you know, who knows what's going to happen, mate, right? Yeah, they'll shorten the season again. I think they'll have that three week, um, uh, reps rep period from what I'm hearing, like the ARL series considering putting in like a three week proper rep period where, uh, origin plus some internationals. Okay. Uh, because essentially because the Broncos are getting too hurt by origin. So they're all sad now. Yeah. No, I'm laughing. Okay. Okay. Last of the, this set of questions is Jacob, to learn a Brian, he goes, any advice for trades this week? Thinking LaTrell, to Todesco, eight can to Carras head to head playing every round 300 K in the bank. I probably like either of those. Look, I don't mind it because Todesco, I feel like he's guys going to drink a lot of the milkshake Nick, but I probably change eight can to Garrick over Carras. Yeah. And if not, then white and that's true. Yep. Yep. That's, that's a good point. I find, I'd find another player to get to get to get to this guy. I think if you've held LaTrell, I just keep holding. I know I, too. Yeah. It's hard because depending on where you're at with the season, if you hold on four weeks, and then he's gone. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Are you thinking that he couldn't, he didn't have any trades to move him earlier? Well, yeah. Like me last week, I just had to held LaTrell because he was just, and there was no one I like. Okay. Last week was a transfer. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. I understand that then. Yep. Sure. Yeah. All right. Let's get some Facebook questions. Matt Pittman is going, who do you think benefits most from the Mac King, Aiken, and Arrow injuries? So Max King is obviously, um, Karen. Aiken. I'm not sure anyone's the beneficiary of the Aiken injury. Kefusi. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. But for fantasy, Bromwich, it's, it's not good. And Arrow's injury is Michael Cheekam, but Jacob host is there in the 22. So in two weeks time, we could be seeing the return of Jacob host, which consumed the way that things are played out. That kind of concerns me a little bit, because when host was just gone, it was Michael Cheekam or no one, right? Yeah. But they played host again in front of Cheekam for a long time. Yep. Interesting. They did. Also, who would you bring in this week? Siply or Tago? Um, I'd probably be in Tago for the extra game that you're going to get in the next three weeks. Yep. And would you bring in Burton DC, Paul Romari? I'll leave that one to you, Nick. Obviously, Mo's gone. I mean, I like go kicking Burton, but he hasn't, he's been propped up by his field goals last two weeks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I really, I really don't know. I really don't know. Look, I'd pick DC vision out of those two and I'd pick Burton if Chezza's not this week. Yeah. I can, I agree with that. Yep. You can read it at the next one from Nathan Nick's Nick. What a do-boo-boo. Yeah. That's it. Nathan's head to play has Heinz and Trell. It's worth being clear in our waiting. I think we said, wait, is white to blend halves? What's this cotter needed? Maybe with you being arrested? So Harz or Watson? Great question. Nick, Harz or Watson? Who would you choose? I'd go Harz, to be honest. I think they need him to play long minutes. Yeah. The Rooster's pack is getting pretty healthy. Jerry, Harz is due back. Harz could genuinely play that 70 minutes in the middle and pump out like 80s, like genuinely. And they could give water rest on some games where they're tuning them up. Yeah. It's a completely different body type playing in the middle between those two guys. So yeah, I think Harz is probably the guy like it. Morgan Jones is still in Brent Hall, giving him out of random injuries. Yes, he is. Morgan, if you had him, I know the first thing I was telling my one of our other brothers, Rob, who's playing head-to-head, is that I was like, oh, mate, it's time to let go of Dylan Brown. And then after the injury happens to most of Mike, I actually reversed that train. So far, I'm going to face in the friggin head-to-head finals. Mark Reed, how many players did you play short throughout the bi-period? Should we stop trying to bi-plan to have a full team each week? Mark, I must say, last week was the first week where I didn't play with the full list and I dropped a bunch of ranks and left me very sad. So whereas last year, I kind of went from a couple of thousands to 800 over the first couple of boys and then in from about 300 to about 20th in the last bi-period this year, I pumped out from 400 to 900th. So my season's done for overall, I'll be honest with you. But the bi-planning got absolutely messed up by injuries and origin this year. Like I brought in Teddy and captain him and got locked into that and Burton was picked as 18th man. Like everyone's had injuries galore. Like the rocks been pulled down on everyone this year, so it's been a really tricky mark. It really has been, you wouldn't think that taking 34 players out or 36 players out of a season would muck around with so many teams, but it really does, right? Yeah, yeah. And I'm likely trail game to it. It's just so many things like you plan to have the right number and generate cash and buy value and not burn all your trades, but you know, it's just how it is. And you know, everyone's had to deal with it. So I think maybe we need to conserve even more trades early next year is probably the biggest lesson I think to try and try and make those ranks that Stuart was mentioning through the bi-periods if that's your strategy. I think that yes, I will try and make those trades through the bi-periods, which means I just, I might not double down on some risks like I did this year. Like I think I had the two roosters edges to begin the season. Both of them thing in our two paneer and one both can't be wrong and they were. And just like the number of trades that had burnt around some of these players, it was just insane. Yeah, we'll do a wash up at the end of the season to look at the some of the risks we've made. Okay, is Mitchell Carroll is asking his matter or sell given when he's being told he can look elsewhere? No, I think I think he got to help hold that one to be honest. What do he thinks to you? Yeah, look, I certainly think that there is upside to Mato still with Girmia still injured. Like I figure that he's been told he can look he's not been cut yet. So if I he were though that Jason Rawls is cutting him, you know, maybe just keep a trade free. The main concern is zero offloads and seven missed tackles last week. So if those reverse to, you know, three missed tackles and two to three offloads, which is more like is Woodhouse and he'll be looking more towards a 50 than a 30. So yeah, I think I think wait one more week, to be honest, like even a 43, he should hit that. So yeah. All right, Michael Gillover. Sorry. Yeah, Michael Gill is going to have no centers Ireland to laggy off a can injured. What to does he get? So I'll tell like he's gone to you. He is too. Gary. Gary. Yeah. Gary. And then probably Wharton and Tago and order. Yeah. RTS if you're psycho. That's it. RTS if you love spice and you hate playing around 27. Mark Cornflock. Are we trading at Max King? Yes, his season is done. Lloyd Goodridge is Angus ago this round. I would say Nick as much as I love Angus, that neck injury that concerns me a little bit, doesn't it? Yeah, it does a little bit. Now you mentioned it. Yeah. I think that he might get a spell this week, even if he plays like he's got no chill. I reckon he might play, but I just they might give him a week. He absolutely gave these guts out that game. Yeah. So Lloyd, I'd probably just hold one week. Peter Manouti, what is the maximum number of knuffs you have in your 21? I think the answer is one, isn't it, Nick? You trade down the ones. The number of knuffies, number of nuggets in your 21. I'd say probably. I think maximum one. Yeah. Yeah. Max. I think none, to be honest, at this time of the year with the amount of trades we have, you want grain dots, to be honest. Yeah, I'd probably just find those cashdowns like the guy who talked about Savage earlier, like, you know, that's not the worst cash act, because look, you can play him for a 20 if you have to, but you can also just leave him on your bench, are the worst. Yeah. All right. Dave Nicholson is good. I'll do Dave's, and they'll do Eric's. Dave is saying, "Hate needs to replace Moses." Kind of all clear. So it's used to the strong option with months to two weeks away. No. Hughes is no longer strong option. Yeah, 788. I'll probably go foggy over Hughes at that point. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And otherwise, after that, I go D.C. if he's playing and button if he's not. Yeah. I've got Hughes. I'm a bit worried. I thought monster could actually be gone for longer. So even though they said it was two weeks, like the fact he's still like commentating and there's no, like, I was presumed doing this and bruising. He's back at some form of training, but the fact he's already said that he's off season surgery to fix the hip issue, right? Yeah. So he is, if he's coming back, he's not all right. I still think Hughes drinks most of the milkshake. Like, yeah, he's not going to be doing sticking off an injured hip. I just can't recommend buying him his all. No. No, you pick foggy bird nor D.C. at that point. Yeah, or clearing next week. Yeah. Okay. Eric says you break brown as a buy next week where that Moses or the Eels are hard avoid. I'd say Dylan Brown is probably the one that Eel I will consider buying for the rest of the season at the Eels. He's the only one. Yep. Jacob Blank is Udo Kamano trade, given his break, even a form would still have seven trades. Look, I probably get out of Stefano because Stefano has not been playing well. It's like his mind's elsewhere. It's disappointing. Hasn't he? Yeah. He was on four points after his first stint last week, ended up with a 27. Rake him the 75. You're absolutely going to go backwards this week. I'd take my money and go to, what, Karen or Baitman? Yep. 100%. Okay. Nick, Nathan Affleck, not thinking about position who would be top three buys this week for four points. And would you like to just go for one more? Yeah. I think I like to just go basically a must. Yeah. I think for points, he's going to score most points. Haas, if he plays, he will score larger bit of points. And then, let's see a quick look at the match ups this week, who are James Campbell against the Seagulls could go pretty well. Yeah. Running up against Tommy Tallau and Lehi Hopawade. Yeah. It's just not a great match up. I've struck Scott Drinkwater up too. Yeah. I think, yeah. Yeah. James Campbell, Haas and Tedesco sort of look like, guys, you can obviously go ham. I've for feeder. I'm running solo for Lawton. That's a match too. Jesus. Yeah. That's, okay. So we've got four side options. That's it. And look, mate, you probably need to fix to Desco. The week against the storm is not the week to do it. I'll be honest with you. He's been scoring out of the park, but I'm not sure that this is the week. And if you're wrong, you're wrong, but you're wrong for the right reasons. So I would probably wait the week on Teddy. I'll be honest with you. But breaking with 30, he's going to hit that. So he's just going to be more expensive next week. Yeah. Yeah. I guess, yeah. But then he'll, he'll, his break even absolutely turns around because some of those top big scores drop around. So yeah. Yeah. All right. Watson or Colo for Stefano, Nick. Yeah. I don't really like Colo now. He's probably going to play 70, 80 minutes and keep going really well. He's a pretty solid vice captaincy option this week, playing early Saturday. And he's just been going really well. He was one of the best captaincy options last week. So he should be in for another 60-ish score, I think. But in terms of Watson, we've sort of already discussed the fact that they're getting healthy with Jared, where your hard goes coming back in. Yeah. I would say that Watteau's probably the slightly headed Colo because Murray will still come back at some point. And if Host is back to, that's where it gets a bit weird for, where do they end up? I'm hoping that Murray, Murray in the edge for 65, right? Yeah. Just doing a little bit where one of the two goes to prop for a little while. But, and, you know, Colo Matungi gets his 70, 75 each week. I just can't guarantee it. It's, it's, especially if the season is done with another loss. I really don't love buying either of those guys. I think Harsall currents are probably a better option, to be honest. I like it. Or Bateman. But just better value players rather than, you know, Watson and Colo might disappoint you. Do you just circumstances changing in the future? Yeah, I do like that. Yeah, there is a bit of circumstantial issues around both of them. Nathan Bright is going, "Hey guys, head to head with 15 trades left, mate." I don't even know how to answer this. "Aching to take a sure, yeah, do it, throw a Campbell yet perfect and hands to bun it." Yeah. "Hands to bun it." This goes from 15 trades. Mate, Nathan Bright. I don't know what you've done this season with. You just went into a coma part way through, or like, just came into a large inheritance or some trades or something like that. Yeah. It's about hackers. That's exactly right, mate. You're asking the wrong people with 15 trades and whatever else, mate, we should probably have you on next week. But those look all stullen stunning trades, mate. "Aching the take goes fine, throw the Campbell is great before we talked about him and hands to bun it with the injuries that they've got." That seems like a good run for them, too. You can look at AFB to save 120k, potentially. Yeah, that's true. I probably, yeah, that's actually a really good run. You pick the most talented person, right? Even if they're-- The bun it's just been him. I don't know, that's a tricky one. Yeah, just work out whether you can do more with the cash and you're remaining 12 trades. Andrew Brighton is-- I'll ask the second part in a second, first part in a second, but he's looking at AFB in cash to go AFB and a cashy. So you can do weeks to clearing next week, or in one tiny move, or to go columnar tangy. I probably think a finial blake over columnar tangy this week, although with an extra game, columnar tangy might actually score around the same or more. So I don't understand this. He's buying AFB? No, okay. So he wants to AFB plus a cashy, and then he can go weekly clearing next week, or he can just do one tiny move where he just goes, he just goes to-- Yeah, AFB's styling's a good move, potentially. Depending if cashy is 370k, whatever-- Or if it's way down the bottom, then it's probably someone like Savage. I wouldn't do that. I'd go down a current abatement, and then I'd get your styling. I just don't think you want to air those real quality barrel players right now. That's true. Yeah, I don't think so. And just me personally, you're going to be backed into a corner, re-end 25 onwards, and you do not want to be playing Savage, just serially. That's true. And do any of you guys have a good jerk chicken recipe? I know. I don't knick. I don't cook things which take more than about 20 minutes. How about you? No, no, no. I don't. My father-in-law does, so I have to heat them up. And get back to your Andrew. Excellent. That's good. No, I'm so sorry. I'm not patient enough to cook food that takes that long. I figure I leave that to the experts if it takes a long time. I'm just good at things I can see when I'm cooking them in a pan. Jerk, jerk chicken, do you need a rotisserie thing for that, like for the Barbie? Or is that-- You wouldn't like cook a jerk chicken, right? Because it's a bit like crispy-era skin. Or is it-- What do you air fry the bad boy? I have absolutely no idea. Like literally, I'm googling it. I have no idea. So looking here, slow cooked over a fire or grill. Yeah. Yeah. So over coals or something like that. So it's a barbecue style. Yeah, got a rotisserie, that bad boy. That's it. So, mate, I guess, look, and if you know what you're doing with the rotisserie, probably doing better than other of us. Yeah, I don't have one. Need to invest. Yeah, well, mate, at least you've got the room for it. I know I'm slowly thinking about that outdoor kitchen, which may come with its own possible barbecue rotisserie. That's sweet. An outdoor kitchen. Yeah, be sweet. Well, under the pagala. That's it. Something which seals away with a big door. Oh, love that. Like, you know, you open it up and that way it seals away. It's not a mess every time you open it up. You mean like those big silver metal things? I just mean, like, I want you to imagine like a big swing garage door or something like that that just sits in front of the kitchen. It's like in a self-contained unit and like it sits there with a bench and then you just swing the thing down there. Yeah, you open it up when you want to use it and when you've done with it, you wipe everything up and then you close the door on it so you don't, it's not full of bugs and dust every time you want to use it. Yeah, that sounds boss. Little bit, little great there to put him with outdoor fridge, drinks fridge. Maybe sweet. Oh, mate. You know what? I'm talking myself into it. Anyway, on that note, Nick, what are your trades this week? Well, I need to, as I mentioned, I need to get a center. So I'm thinking, Aiken to Wighton, Tongo, RTS, Hammer, one of those four. I think, I think I'll just sit otherwise. I can make trades. I've got 11 heading into this round, but so that's pretty funny. I was saying, no, 11 trades, not 11 players. No trades. I was about to say, mate, you're playing 11 this week. Oh, my God. Okay. What are you doing at advice? I was going to say, what are you doing? Give me an advice if you got 11 players. Man, I am, give me 17, but as I said, I've got to move on like cheese and Aiken and Telangi and maybe Samuel and Fano eventually and weeks. There's a bit of surgery yet to happen, so I'm sort of waiting for the perfect moves, you know? I got it. Some of these guys are dropping price. When they're green dots this week, like you just know more injury, suspensions, form, droppings, like it's all just going to happen. That's awesome. And look, I've got Aiken to probably Jackie Wighton. I probably want to put my hands on a few players because there's about six players who I think do a value to buy this week. So obviously, there's a two which is like that I don't own, which I want to own, which is for Fido and Haas. So I want to put my hands on them at some point and I've got the option. The other end, they're breaking evens aren't the worst either. So, look, it's not the worst or best time to get in. The other guys is, look, there's a thermal Garak and turbo. So Garak, I do not regret trading him a few weeks ago at all because it was to the Desco and it's absolutely saved my season. But he's basically a must now. He would considering the diabolical nature of center right now. That's it. And look, I've got Kresse and I've still got Berbo. But if I can find a way to get Berbo to Garak after this week, and that might be the go there. But Berbo in your center this week should be fine. It should be fine. So this is where like the questions come in, right? Like, you know, who's what when? And on the downside, I've got Max King injured. Like, so Max is Max is going to go. So I'm thinking probably LaTrell out because I've got a Tedesco and Campbell already. So LaTrell out to possibly a Fido or Haas, eight and down to a Tag or Tuggo or White. And with the cash. And then it's just working out like moving on someone like a Blaze Telangi to maybe a Turbo or a Garak. So, or do I hold on next week, pick up Dylan Brown, who's basically averaging 60. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I just thinking it could be a real good pod on the run home. Yep. Yep. That's it for me. And there's also Adam Fennel, Blake who I kind of want, but our finals in round 27. I know if I pick a guy in round 27, that's already not playing. There's going to be so many guys missing out on my squad. And if I make the finals again and I lose, it because I've got eight players out. I've only got three trades left. I'm going to be so sad. Yeah, it's really hard because timing your head-to-head finals with the different bias. So you've got the Broncos round 24, Queensborough is 25. Yep. And then Tigers, well, I mean, Tigers are irrelevant. Well, well, basically, because people got Galvin and they've got some, they could have Bateman. Not true, true. So, yeah, I forgot Galvin. Yeah. But, you know, between the Broncos, Tigers and Warriors, it's sort of you don't really want to muck up your head-to-head plans. So, yeah, not ideal. Easy. Yep. So, I guess we'll be making some trades there. So, I'm just trying to work out, you know, do I just make enough to just play this week, which I probably will, and just working out which guys I want to put my hands on. Yeah, that's why guys like for Fader are just such gold right now. Yeah, because you know that they're like, yeah, premium, you know what they are. They're not going to grab anyone's jersey on the side of the origin. Oh, I'm not telling you. Yeah, they're not going to complain to the ref that Cam Murray should have been sent off. Oh, man. Our chairs are being salty. Oh, the salt here. Oh, bigger salt mines. Billy salty. That's actually the best one I've seen. I realize he's not used to it, because for years, he just had Cam as the ref. So, you never got on the wrong side of the rub of anything. And he's like, what's this? What do you mean, lose the penalty count? Yeah. Yeah, he was insane. He looked shocked because it's never happened to him before. He's like, wait, don't I own the referee? Anyhow. Sorry, Queensland fans. We just couldn't help us. Well, it's just just salty, Billy. That's fine. And look, it's good to see Magic back and happy again as well. Man, after what he's been through with the Tigers, yeah, because he poured everything into that club. Everything. He absolutely did. He just couldn't. It wasn't him. It wasn't him that's the issue of that club. As you can see right now, they've changed everything, right? They bought back Tim Sheens. Nothing. They bought back Benji. Nothing. They spent a million, you know, $2 million, $3 million on plays from England. Nothing. They're still last. And they're still last against like sides like the eels who've actually had the guts ripped out of their club with injuries and whatever else. They're still not ahead of them on the table. Yeah, it's disgusting. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. All right. Nick, well, I think on that point, you know, talking about how the unfortunate assets for any of the Tiger seasons, much like our fantasy seasons, mate, time to wrap up. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, mate. Good luck, everyone. Yeah. Good luck. Make sure you read the one-out trades, guys, before you lock them in. Make sure you order your trades as well. So if you need to reverse them, you haven't picked a guy, you know, who's playing the last game, and you've traded out from a team who's playing in the first game, so you can't do it. Yep. And to make sure that you, if you can, that you line up your trades so that they're equal values, so that you're not trying to, you can't, you're not locked into a trade because you don't have the money to knock back out, just because you didn't walk way around. Sometimes you're forced to, but if you can, you trade the Littrell to Hars, you wouldn't trade hands to Hars and Littrell to a cheap guy, that type of thing. Yep. All right.
