Gamble and Walker surely the major issues ??
I have the same issue.
I have enough bench cover to not rely on them in the 17 if I make the right trades, will need either a hooker or 5/8 or both depending on what I do.

Gamble was a cash cow, I'm not fussed with him as yet. Walker though, bleeding cash now, either keep or trade.

Crichton, Barnett and Radley are huge concerns now

Apparently Lodge will go to Newcastle, so Barnett will probably lose more playing time, another one to likely trade on a few weeks

I'm not even considering the bye rounds/origin. Instead ill just build to have the best team i can post Origin and hope with a heap of luck that i can challenge for a round prize or at least finish the season strong.
This is my goal too

But this weekend has well and truly ****** me

Storm: Jahrome Hughes (calf) is back in the Nio.7 after his late withdrawal from the Raiders clash with Cooper Johns sliding back to the extended bench but back-rower Kenny Bromwich (hamstring) will spend at least another week on the sideline.
Chris Lewis has again been named in the No.6 jersey in a huge vote of confidence in the back-rower.
Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy expects Ryan Papenhuyzen to be sidelined for 3-4 more weeks which means in-form understudy Nicho Hynes remains at fullback.

Cowboys: Coen Hess (head knock) returns from injury to replace Jason Taumalolo (suspended) at lock and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (leg) takes the place of centre Connolly Lemuelu (thumb).
The absence of suspended bench forward Lachlan Burr and Francis Molo (head knock) opens up places on the interchange for Peter Hola and Corey Jensen with try-scoring debutant Heilum Luki retaining his spot on the extended bench.
Warriors: Teen sensation Reece Walsh has retained the No.1 jersey with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck staying on the wing. Young centre Rocco Berry (head knock) will miss another week.
