Looking at your squad you are playing an ae regardless unless you plan to trade a lussick? In that case i would take it. If you have to drop one of your remaining players after trading lussick i wouldnt as all potential decent scorers left

a shoutout to my 2 starting props - terrell 82 pts & cotter 81 pts shot boys

Pappy out is going to make things interesting as to who to replace him with? initial thought for me was Manu but may have to look into this a bit more after today. I dont own Teddy so there is that but Origin is not far off , hell even Weekes is putting his hand up.

Why aren't you considering Smithies?

I'm playing him with no concerns (although will likely trade him out next week)

You were so correct! I’ll never doubt you again! It cost me about 20 points.

Weekes has the bye, and Teddy misses 13 + 14. You need to start preparing fir 13 and 14 now.

Slowly climbing rankings, up to 175 this week with 1,054

Bit the teams at the top are still scoring higher, and pulling further away, so going to be tough to keep the famous cow charge going

Still 4th overall... gotta plan for RD13/14 which is a Payne in the Haas

trades very straight forward this week = Pappy, Savage out - Drinkwater, Armstrong in

Grant (Smith)
Cotter, Terrell (Hughes, Henry)
Carrigan, Angus, KPP, Blore, Plath (Smithies)
Cleary (c), Hynes (vc), Brown, Galvin
Manu, Iro (TMM, Salmon)
Drinkwater, Walsh, Garrick (Armstrong, Kini)

sitting at 28th overall...if cleary is out again i'll probably look to sell

Up to 21st. My two trades this week are Paps + CNK to Drink + Garrick. Weekes comes in next week for Chan. Halves are looking like a big issue if Hynes gets selected for Origin. Weakes will be my only half! I had better pray I have 18 I suppose and take an AE!

28th and you’ve kept Cleary all this time? Well done. More rain predicted this week, so another rest for Cleary? Great Captain option though, although I can see an early shower. I have no idea who to captain this week. You are aware Hynes plays after Cleary so Garrick would be a better VC choice.

I’d captain Cleary (if chosen and Schneider is not on the bench). There just doesn’t seem to be a better option.

Thanks for the BE's Milch.

I have 21 starters (before trades) for Round 10. I might celebrate by not trading this week.

I need a replacement for Pappy but , wish I could save a few trades

I have to replace Pappy and Flegler, but there's nobody I really want this week, so it can wait until next week.

Is it silly trading Pappy up to Dedwards? Guess it all depends on what happens with Origin, but gee the extra scoring potential is tempting over the unknown quantity of Fa'alogo

I'm trying to avoid buying possible State of Oregon players atm.

Planning to do Pappy > Weekes next week, and use the cash to improve my forwards.
