Kick his arse to the kerb! Too many starring mids for him to get back there.

Kennedy and Darling will be cheap soon :P

Boak going under 100 is good. Should drop in price a little

I traded him this week. I'm glad i did now! Even though he still scored 70 last week i noticed he was spending so much time forward.

Just wondering whether the 6.6.6 is having an effect on the Key Position Forwrads as most are down and there is a yo yo with some. Forwards would be a lottery without the DPP players.

Just don't touch any KPP forwards this year

Guys like JJK, Darling, Buddy etc will tempt people as they bottom out, but I would only consider 1 of them if it was my F7 and I could loop them each week, but F7 cover is much later in the year, so I won't be touching any of them for now

I would have thought the 6-6-6 rule would help key forwards

Hoff continues to fall, looks hopelessly out of form & should hit 350k over the next fortnight. Will be tempted to trade him in for O'Brien but haven't ruled out Lycett either (if I can get the funds). Just need to get through the next 3 weeks with Bines on the pine.

I think I'd rather keep ROB at R3 until/if he gets dropped, then reassess if/when that happens

I can't see the appeal in using up a trade on Hoff/Lobb/Lycett etc at this stage - they're just not good enough for one of my 6 forward slots at the moment, and whilst I have a playing R3 I'm honestly not even going to entertain bringing one of them based on their current output

It's a saved trade, that's my primary motivation. The moment you trade out Bines means 2 trades to cash in on his earnings. My philosophy is 1 trade to Lycett/Hoff & then get Bines back to R3. Ruck cover still intact & you have a great option for F6/F7. Lycett averaging 88 which is solid, Hoff has never averaged under 80 for the past 8 seasons. I get the fact he's lost his ruck licence & that may tip the scales in favour of Lycett but he's still value at 350k.

Don't think I could last 2 months with Bines in the forward line, will make the switch as soon as there's some sort of parity.

Not sure how you are set up Did Parker to Hore via Burgess. So next week have the cash to go defence Rookie probably Clark to prem forward returning Burgess to d8. Meaning I play 2 of Drew, Moore, Petra Happy with that for a while as well. Petra will more than likely be the e. So Bines on Pine keeps VC loophole and Petra as e.
