I just don't like any of the cash out options this week and don't want Dearden sitting on my bench. My other 3 trades are JFH/Sivo/Tolman > CS9/Bateman/Watson but I am 22K short so need to move Dearden on to afford it

EDIT: Can move Arey on to SOS for a laugh instead of Dearden as my last trade. His stats in his game last year are actually pretty good: 287KM's, 27 TCK (1MT), 1Try. 28MG

Hows your round 17 team looking mate compared to what you have now. That's the key to it all. Working backward from what you want to have for the run how to then figure out what you need/can get in now.

is anyone worried about slade griffin coming back

According to Barry (Newcastle journo) he's had a set back but is due back before rd 20.

I've hold off on trading cs9 in. Down to just one trade this week which is sensible

Trades remaining: 12
ITB: $400k

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

CM9 Mahoney Taupau Dearden ()
Havali Martin Lomax Brittain

And Watson just goes back to the halves?? At least you're getting 6 rounds minimum from him at hooker.

Worse case off the bench. He's been solid at hooker

What was the reason he came off at around 60 something mins only to come back on 5 mins later?

They spoke to him on the sideline when he came off. He said he was buggered and needed a breather.

wouldn't he go through reserve grade first if he hasn't played for such a long time

Watson off 50th minute

Sione HIA 55th minute

Bmoz due back after rep round. Was close to returning this week

Community team poll - trade 1

Who to trade in for Rein (has to be a half or WFB)

this is pretty bad for watsons prospects

I'm happy to have Watson in my team for some solid scores the next few rounds. He can stay in my EMG after that for cover.

Played the first 50 then came back on for SMats HIA. Buhrer and Watson were on the field until SMat came back on for Buhrer 15 minutes later.

Don't know what that means going forward.

You would have expected Watson to get benched for SMat after the 15 Mins HIA. Watson did have a great game, maybe they kept him on the field because of that?

How many players is everyone looking to have in Rnd16? Im looking at 10-11 players.

Current Team:
Cook
Fifi Haas
Taupau Murray Tolo
Cleary Mann
Xerri Nikora
Teddy CNK Ponga
CM9 Tolman JFH Martin
Arey Brittain Dearden Sivo

231K and 11 trades

I think I have found my formula for the next 3 weeks. I have based this off my expected averages on MTB’s site so might be off a little. Also might depend on whether the cows are 212-228K

This rounds trades
JFH > Smith
Tolman > Bateman
Sivo > O’Sullivan
11K and 8 trades remaining

R15 Trades
Dearden > R16 cow (212K)
roughly 147K and 7 trades remaining

R16 Trades
Martin > R16 cow (212K)
CNK > R16 Gun/Keeper around 650-700K (Twal/SST/Kbrom)
roughly 287-337K and 5 trades remaining

R17 Trades
Mann and O’Sullivan to two players worth roughly 1,242,000 to 1,272,000K
Players of Interest: Munster/Turbo/Wighton/SJ/RTS (Boom/Bust type player preferable one WFB and one HLF/DPP.
Leaves 3 trades from R18 to 25 which isn’t good.

Team would be
HOK: D.Cook
FRF: A.Fifita P.Haas
2RF: M.Taupau C.Murray J.Taumololo
HLF: N.Cleary A.Reynolds
CTR: J.Bateman B.Nikora
WFB: J.Tedesco K.Ponga T.Trbojevic
BENCH: C.Smith C.McInnes S.Taukeiaho NPR
EMG: B.Xerri Boom/Bust player NPR NPR

3 trades is not leaving much for injuries etc. but it is the best I can do I think.

Thoughts/Any Changes

If Watson made way for SMat to return id be concerned.

Maybe Watson was meant to come back on for Buhrer?
