Hold or fold? Probably only one more week but this groin issue could keep him out for another week or two down the track. Straight swap to Oliver as well. Quite torn on this one.

Could also go early on Yeo & bank 100k (by swinging Finlayson to the mids) or bring in Dusty.

I’m going to hold. Josh Kelly is absolute class, and when he comes back, I’m confident that he’ll go back to 110+ scoring.

Are there any other players you can trade to bring in Dusty or Oliver?

Not at this stage, Armitage was meant to be the stepping stone to Dusty but that hasn't panned out. Inclined to hold given I have cover, just gotta hope Kelly is back next week.

Yeah, that’s the plan. I’m playing Holman against Brisbane, so I should be fine.

“Josh is a week-by-week proposition at the moment, we’re being conservative with him,” Campbell said.

“He’s a chance to train tomorrow and then to play this weekend but we won’t know that until he turns up tomorrow, gets screened, trains and that sort of stuff so that will be a call later in the week.

I hope he is back this week, I'm holding him.

I'm holding

Super frustrating, but I've already copped 5+ injuries and churning through trades on them

Lobb and Venables need to move this week for me, but I need Arma to return if I am going to hold Kelly

Hazza09

I have Goldy and Billings to deal with along with Venables and this isn't ideal.

Will have to hold but i am very tempted to bring in Oilver or downgrade him to Coniglio.

Trade Venaspud to Guefli next week.
Trade Kelly, he's out for another 2. Could be more...then how will his form be?

I've got over 500k so Venables gets upgraded, but ill need Arma back otherwise I'll need to hold Venables for a week and trade Arma instead

I hear ya on the injury front, so sick of not playing all my premiums so I ended up trading Kelly after I heard he missed training today DOH. Put who I traded to on the other trade thread. :)

Hmmm, Cameron himself said otherwise today, although we just won't know I guess

Arma is the key for me. If he returns this week then I think I will hold Kelly because I just can't keep trading out every player who gets injured or hasn't worked out - sometimes you need to hold and cop it, and I think Kelly being top echelon is the one I'll hold because I'd rather get rid of Lobb and Venables and bring in two guns

Benching him this week also gives me another week to see how it pans out, and Danger is a cheap trade next week if need be too

GIANTS coach Leon Cameron said both players remained a chance to play the Saints, but the match committee would need to weigh up the risk of playing the pair.

"Josh is going OK, (but) we'd like him to be going a little bit better," he said.

"He's been doing some running, but the footy side of it is what I'm alluding to.

"He had a fair bit of this last year and managed it, but some weeks can be not as great as others.

"We're not concerned in terms of (having to) rest him for six or eight weeks, but we're making sure that when he does participate in full-on footy again, he can cope for the week after and the week after that."

Gerard Whately on 360 saying he will miss a few, and both Gerard and Robbo discussed the concerns about this type of injury

FFS all I can do is just laugh now, just insane the carnage I've occurred already this season

What is even wrong with him?
