Whats up with Bell at prop?

Whats up with Bell at prop?

Benched. Probably just rotating him to give a little bit of rest. H.T-S starts for them so im starting him over Bell, still not sure that is the right move though!

 

[tso]

Naholo fail

 

[T43597]

7/68 - 2 zeros with Daugunu out late prior to the game starting and Savage injured in the first 10 minutes or so. Add on A.Aumua with a whopping 2 points and Naholo with just 12 and its been a terrible start to the round. Played Harris from the Force too ahead of Gamble and Harris finished with 4. So thats the bad. Now for the good....

Salakaia-Loto scored 30. Thats it, thats the good.

Fakatava, Ma'u, JRK
McKenzie (c)
Telea, Ioane, Sotutu, Thompson-Stringer

 

[tso]

Same here. Horrific.

7/98

Eklund, Papalii, Gamble, Fakatava, Mckenzie C, Tele'a, Toole, Telea tp

Someone has 232 with 6tp in our public league incl. C

 

[tso]

300 plus McKenzie (c) points to be added

 

[tso]

418
Up 113
Pos 716

Probably could have held off on Telea for just 1 more week. Also had a donut with Daugunu being a late out

 

[T43597]

354 - Down to 815 and struggling. Annoyed about Daugunu as i would've traded to Te'lea for over 40 points and massive cash gen. Savage injury was annoying and left some points on the bench but i guess my team just isnt stacking up at the moment. Will get inventive with trades i think

 

[tso]

Early news.

Naholo HUR is out
Daugunu RBL still out

 

[T43597]

Naholo > Stevenson
R.Ioane > Vota

Paisami is back in which helps. Had to trade either Daugunu or R.Ioane to get a 2nd playing centre. Came down to either Vota or Tele'a and since Highlanders have a tough upcoming run before their bye, im going with Vota. Might come back to bite me though. A consideration was the bye round too - given i still have lots of Reds and Highlanders players.

 

[tso]

Savage, Papalii, Eklund benched were my other casualties.

With bye rounds in mind just did these for bodies in the box.
12/15/13 ATM before trades each bye round but they include 4 MIA currently.

 

[Connoisseur]

Forgot all about it but seems like a great strategy.


Any issue with planned trades?

No issues. You have a lot of Rebels players! Not the worst thing, lots of Rebels games have been high scoring.

 

[T43597]

I decided to drop a boost to get another starting lock in - Tali Tualima (for the injured Savage)

Every player is starting except for Aumua, which i dont mind at all. Aumua can come on fresh after 50-55 minutes and hopefully do some damage.

Fairly happy with how my team looks but my centres have failed me all season. The highest score i got from both combined was 12 i think. Barrett/R.Ioane/Daugunu (missed his high scores) the main offenders

 

[tso]

Toole 66 vc locked in.
2/140.

EDIT Toole up to 66

 

[T43597]

Masi going large again. Really wish id invested in him to start the season or at least when i traded Barrett out. Very very impressive player. Vota is doing okay at least.

He just scored again, 3 in the first half

 

[tso]

Tele'a T. -4 RED CARD
Walton 36 on the pine
