I am 1K short of Xerri/Martin > Fainu/Arey
I think Arey will be the highest scoring half for the rest of the year.

Ponga is definitely not a sellPonga for prez wrote:Hey fellas, I need some help on decisions here,
I have kept ponga throughout his injury, and have no cover in my reserves, should I trade him for ttrbo/wighton/burns? Aiming to trade him back in asap. Also considering twal to klemmer/lodge, anyone wanna help with that? Too sideways? Got 10 trades left, cheers guys
He is averaging 60 at fullback this year which is well above Wighton and Burns (even if they play an extra game). And I’m not sure if Trbojevic will maintain his current average considering he has never finished a season with above 50 average.
Twal to Klemmer is a little sideways but you have heaps of trades so it’s probably not a bad move

I wonder if Xerri will get DPP even though he isn't being named in wing he has been spending most his time there.

Have the exact funds leaving $0 itb to go with
Watson and Xerri out. Turbo and Munster in.
First trade thoughts. Obviously a lot can happen during origin. Just tinkering away.

Amazing moves frankly. Wouldn’t sweat potentially needing one match out of Mann. If that concerned don’t worry about the Mann to Burns. Just hold the Watson to Turbo until a week later when you have ponga back

Although Jurbo has a great passing game he sadly isn't classified as a WFB or HLF
Need a WFB or HLF for my last slot of my 17 - a HLF though would leave me without WFB cover unless I get Burns next week whereas getting TTurbo allows me to move Ponga to INT

Xerri/CNK > Bateman and hold the other trade is the best way to go imoLiverpool_Bulldog wrote:I had Milf penciled in for a trade this week and now im hearing he may be good to go??
Was looking at
Milf > Drinkwater
Xerri/CNK > Bateman
Now i dont know
Smith
Haas, Fifita
Lolo, Taupau, Murray
Brooks, SJ
Nikora, Xerri
Ponga, Teddy, RTS
Milford, SST, Tevaga, Fainu
CNK, Martin, Walters, Brittain
Only 4 trades left and 41k, might be even smarter to not trade at all
Any ideas lads?

The correct answer is probably wait till origin is done?

Has anyone thought about Nat Butcher? 54 avg if you take out three games under 30 mins at start of year. I bought in SST and Fainu, seriously looked at Jazz, but in hindsight Butcher might have been the best option at a similar price. More expensive now but is still cheaper than Jurbo and Matterson if you think 54 is sustainable and need forwards. I’m almost talking myself into him typing this...

If you don’t care about cover how would you rank the below players in terms of priority to trade out.
My thoughts
Watson
Xerri
SJ
cnk
Fainu

Butcher is a fantasy magnet. Goes looking for points! Only worry his minutes. He seems to have taken over Radley's role while Friend has been out. Friend back this week so Radley may take his spot back.

great player, but he's in a purple patch because he's been plugging holes that have appeared in their forward pack, they are getting all their players back now, so in a full-strength Roosters side, he'll be on the bench playing 30 minutes or so, not worth the large investment

DCE saying he is finally back to 100% and has been playing hurt for the last 2 months. Subsequently, his average in the last 2 months is 38.5 compared to 67 before that. Says this week he has completed every training session, which he has not done since being back from injury. Maybe him being back to 100% will see his scores lift and possibly take the kicking back? DCE will come in to my halves next week for the run home I think.

Can definitely see that with Arey. Caveat on health.

What are your thoughts on Xerri/Mahoney in your team? Surely Mahoney won't stay around all year? That is 4 HOK on your bench. Are you looking at keeping both Xerri and CNK for WFB/CTR coverage? Can you hold trades for a week and wait for all teams to be full strength? Knights play Friday night so thats a plus.

With any luck Paix will be named so you can cash out Lomax for Paix who you can play at half for Ponga and yep then Watson to Fifita. Alternatively Field/Nicholls/Walters should give you enough if they get another run with origin restings.
Thanks lads.
I do have a question mark on Mahoney indeed but he is a solid option but I know in regards to 4 hookers on my bench. I can indeed hold trades but not having Fifita is a worry ths week, but 1 week shouldn't do too much damage. I guess I have to wait and see for team lists and origin. Paix playing would be damn tempting to trade in allowing me to get Fifita.

I'll keep an eye out for DCE as I won't be making any trades until R18 and finalizing my team. Until then the great decision looms on my final gun with 2 trades for the run home.
J Turbo
Pro: Very consistent
Con: 2RF is a position I'm well covered for
T Turbo
Pro: High ceiling
Con: Low floor
Hunt
Pro: Massive POD
Con: Massive risk
Munster
Pro: One of my favourite players
Con: Likely to be rested
Klemmer
Pro: Very affordable and consistent
Con: Brown could possibly reduce his minutes heading to the finals

Only 40k itb,
Mann & arthurs to paix (or any other 212k player) and tevaga
Leaves me with this
Cook
Fifi haas
Taupau murray tolo
Pearce sj
Bateman nikora
Rts teddy ponga
Smith McInnes fainu tevaga
Dbrown lomax coates (other 212k player)
