Certainly would help out lol

Thinking this may be a permanent position for Mann for the remainder of the season

I'm not sure who is the better player to bring in Coates or Farnworth. One of them definitely gets dropped next week, possibly both if Isaako walks back in (he shouldn't).

I don't really have the trades to do it but if Klemmer doesn't play Origin I'm getting him in for Murray.

Running without a gun everyone else is getting in for R16 is not conducive to ultimate success.

Seibs has been using his 18-21 to give hints for who's next in line, Coates inclusion last week would lead me to believe he's the most likely answer to this question

Stats on some players I found, couldn't find anything on Field or Nicholls

Walters - Avg 48 points in 80 mins over 14 games. High avg in TB's and MG, mixed Kick Metres.
Farnsworth - Avg 47 points in 80 mins over 14 games. High avg in TB's and MG
Coates - Avg 42 in 80 minutes for 1 game. 4 TB's and 2 tries.

I like Walters or Farnsworth.

if Klem isn't playing Origin, my trades will be the following:

Havili -> SJ
Kenny -> Coates
TKO -> Tevaga
Mahoney -> Klemmer

Gives me 2 additional R16 players who are both guns (I reckon Tevaga is one too), but only leaves me with 5 trades to do the following:

* Sell Xerri to Burns next week - this one is definitely happening.
* Sell Fainu and DBrown when they cap out

Which would leave me with 2 trades at the end to cover injuries, which could blow up in my face, but I'll punt TKO if it means another R16 scorer who averages more in the run home

I really don’t want to pick the wrong on here... any word on who is more likely to get future spot... like you say, if either of them.

So anyone know the SST story? Is that something to be worried about after this week. Absolutely love trading out one injured (Arrow) for another. Or is it not an injury?

I'd have to agree with that. Farnworth's stats have been pretty good in ISC though.

i'm doing Xerri to Coates myself, if i don't trade Xerri i'm not using that trade this week, and i can't afford to lose money, getting Cook in to complete my team without wasting a trade will depend on which way a few K falls

Farnworth is a goalkicker and has 43 goals from 11 games which is almost 4 goals a game. 12 tries in those games too.

Where'd you get 14 games from?

Coates travelled to newy last week. Hes definitely ahead of Farnworth.

Staggs was pretty atrocious with his kicking. Maybe Herbie stays long term. His ISC stats are really impressive although Coates seems to have that NRL frame.

Didn't count properly.

With SST out, I'm reconsidering my trade of JFH to one of the R16 FRFs because of Klemmer & Twal being more expensive which may mean next week's trades for guns are extremely close cash-wise and I'm not sure I want to be relying on price changes this week

Thoughts on these scenarios for 17th/18th man for final team after next week (getting Fifita back + TTurbo if available for Xerri + Watson - 2nd trade has to be WFB/HLF)
(1) Klemmer/Twal + Mann (2 trades remaining)
(2) SJ + Burns  (1 trade remaining)

I think I'm actually leaning towards the second option purely for cover purposes - will be able to cover all positions once Ponga is fit (Smith/McInnes for HOK, Taupau for FRF/2RF, SJ for HLF, Burns for CTR in EMG) but this means I have to wait an extra week to bring one of the two mentioned guns and potentially risk not getting them (most likely TTurbo)

Yep, I’m doing the same with Xerri. Just need to make sure I pick right replacement as I’ll need someone to cover at least one of the three WFB’s that most likely won’t play in round 17.

Billy Walters loves a TB - 3.91/game with 106.5 avg running metres. May take on the Munster role and could see R17 against the Sharks.

With Farah's reduced minutes, Tohu's injury, and now SST out, my limited bye planning has gone to the shithouse. I hate this game sometimes, too much depends on lady luck and she doesn't seem to like wookiees much. I now have 9 for the round.

you forgot fifi getting suspended.

Is Martin > Tevaga too sideways?

Martin seems to cap out at about a 35-40 average, whereas Jazz is around 45ish (and hoping that goes up with his starting gig) and gives me an extra R16 player.

Yeah, that as well
