Not much left to improve that side mate but may as well remove 1 at least of Dearden and young for either a base price player to upgrade elsewhere, or get a touch more cash generation for later on, or more rd16 numbers

Is TKO elite level keeper good?

What are people aiming for for their final 17/21?

Not sure about top tier but he's a solid bench option and covers R16 (in which he will likely goal kick with Latrell out and Lam probably unseating Hutchison).

As for final 21, my goal is this, with 13 trades left to make it happen (* on guys I don't already have)

Cook
Fifita, Haas
Jurbo, Murray, Lolo
Munster, SJ*
Nikora, Bateman
Teddy, Ponga, RTS*

CS9, TKO*, Friend*, Wighton

CNK, Xerri, Staggs, Nuff*

I reckon Friend will be a massive POD option when he comes back from the bicep injury.

Farah and Mahoney to Matterson and Nathan Brown 80% locked in.

I am happy for them to keep it at 2 trades to stop the temptation.

Pre TLT trade plans are
Mahoney to Matterson
Cartshite to Watson

then RTS top of the pile for RD16

Going for broke

Cook
Fifi Haas
Twal Murray Tolo
Milf Watto
Bateman Nikora
CNK Teddy Ponga

CS9 CM9 Mahoney Taupau
Martin Lomax Dearden Britto

Luxury trade I might entertain for rd 16 would be Taupau to SST but with 11 trades left I’ll prob pass

failhub aside has anyone though about the logic of 4 trades this week. it didn't make any sense why we would have 4 this week. I'm wondering if they have just copy and pasted the rules from 2 years ago before origin had its own rep round.

I think you do need two 4-trade rounds between 12 and 16 to have a chance of turning round numbers for the bye rounds. Which weeks they are doesn't really matter, but when they've told you pre-season which weeks they are and you've planned for it then those really should be the weeks.

I’ve managed to make my 4 trades. Are you blokes computer illiterate?

I love these 4 trades weeks. I’ve brought in Smithy, Matterson, Watson and Tedesco. I’m hoping that will strengthen up the side a little.

If it's only the two trades. Bateman and Watson will be coming in.
Matterson would've been my 3rd if we had/have 4 trades

Only just catching up on this - so whats the deal with trades?

Have they actually formally backtracked on what they stated in the rules? or have they just fucked up again and we are waiting/hoping they will sort their shit out.

Think it's the latter.

How many players is everyone aiming for in rd16? I think I can manage 10-12, depending on injuries and whatnot obviously

Chris Kennedy on Twitter said he’ll ask when he goes to work. Besides that nothing has been said

10 proper players and 2 cashouts for me, hopefully. Add one more if Crichton gets dropped from Origin, which he kind of should.

I don't think so. Why would they copy and paste rules from two years ago instead last year's rules - which is likely what they did because last year the rounds were 13, 15 and 17. Didn't they fuck up round 12 as well this year until they re-coded it? They're so useless that the same problem is likely to occur in round 16 because it's still coded for round 17.

Depends what you had in RD12. Those who had heaps might struggle to flip them, and vice versa.

There weren't any problems in RD12 were there?

I jumped straight in and traded away.
