Williame. Unless you want cash for guns. Otherwise Mann.

With Arrow in doubt I may have to change 1 of my trades. My 1st trade is locked in:
Isaako out - B. Best in
My 2nd trade was going to be:
Pappy out - Tedesco in
But if Arrow is out I will do:
Arrow out - McInnes in

Lucky the Titans play the first game on Saturday so I can still buy Tedesco if Arrow is sweet.

Satisfying to trade that plodder out that's for sure! Leaves $680ish-k for double upgrades next week so yes Williame your time has come

Halves is my weakest position currently with Moses and Drinky so I feel your pain. Want to get rid of both if possible but all things considered I may need to keep Moses for the long haul. In saying that,  D Brown isn't on my radar,  I see very little potential benefit for considerably more/similar risk to Moses. As for other options...upgrade or bust I think

Maybe I should keep Moses until Turpin comes back and just have Turpin and George W in the halves ?
Or make that change soon because Moses is losing too much coin ( b/e 84 this week ) and play Drinkwater in the meantime ?

Thoughts on Turpin ?

Looks like I am doing the same trades as everyone else - Wiliame->Best and Friend->Grant.

I’m not playing Best or Fui in my reserves at this stage but might reconsider over the weekend.

You just never know with people coming back from injury. He started off so well, pretty confidently. So hopefully the injury wont take that zing away. As for having him starting...I'd not feel confident in that play

If you're dumping Moses it probably should be this week though cuz of that BE as you say. I mean if he pulls out an 80 you'll hate life for the week but it's still overall the right decision you'd think I'd play Drinky and dump Moses if your long term plan isn't to have Moses. Quite a few good options at half just gotta pick one (the hard part)

Given the dry weather I don't think turbo will have so many deductions from errors. Screw it, i'm in mediocreville anyway at the moment, I'll go tturbo.

That went well..

Of course when I trade Isaako out he scores 48 lol.

same here. Was gonna keep him for that easy run after the Knights but then i thought bugger it i'm impatient and he probably put up a couple of scores under 20 and lose lots of cash. I got him after his good score round 1 and played him for his terrible scores and then sell to see that 48. Typical haha. Always the way when sell them their score increases aye.

Moses isn't relevant on this format so if means can get a gun he can go. I'd be turning him to a Tedesco or a McInnes through duals and am happy to play Drinkwater this week against the Warriors. He can team up with Raiders Williams until get a Cleary or Munster type (who will average at least 5-10 points more over the season than Moses) in for Drinkwater.

I'm going to get Tedesco this week over McCinnes as suits structure of team better and can see Tedesco going huge against the Dogs. Will get McCinnes next week hopefully. With Hunt apparently going to play bit of hooker i want to see what the Dragons do as well. I'm sure McCinnes keeps playing 80 but and lots of minutes at lock as well.

Turpin would be great to come in as well once he is back from injury. Being available in halves if plays 80 min and Paix is dropped out the side when he returns that is of course.

Who would you guys play out of Mann, Fui and Lomax assuming all 3 run out as named?

StuDogg101 wrote:Who would you guys play out of Mann, Fui and Lomax assuming all 3 run out as named?

Fui for sure if stays named starting in 2nd row will score very well

Yep, Fui without second thought... If he plays where he's listed to play.

Thanks guys. I'll put him in and hope any late changes don't affect him

I'm having another look at DCE for Moses.
Last night's 53 should cause DCE to drop 20k down to $570k ( according to Milchow's b/e list ) which I can afford !

btw; you v me this week in FF L1. Good luck but I hope you lose !!

DCE another good option for halves for sure even Johnson who has a good run coming up looking at the draw. Moses will be back to a run of subpar 30 scores on here with missed tackles and errors no doubt. It's inevitable it keeps him from averaging in the 50's by the end of each season like other gun halves on here.

I notice you don't have Capewell for his 3 points score injury in the opening minutes. Lucky fella haha. You might have the edge now. Are you bringing in Tedesco for his monster points this round? If you are not i might still have a chance

604/9 (c) played - Grant, Twal, Arrow, L. Leilua, G. Williams, Tedesco, Ponga, Best to play.

My score includes both Drinkwater & Capewell with E. Katao in my npr's.

Forgot to trade in Grant last night. Absolutely spewing. Was waiting for any late mail, as I got caught out not being able to reverse changes in this comp a couple of weeks ago. And plain forgot. I've gone Friend -> McInnes instead, so it will cost me a bit of coin in respective price rises but not the end of the world. Grant can come in next week I guess. Or I could not get him as the ultimate reverse POD. nah.

Caught a few low ones but 989 all done for me. Will be watching McInnes and Teddy from behind the couch today

@The Pascoe Fiasco - better off posting DT questions here. Re centres to replace Capewell, I've got Mann in my reserves so might just play him. Mitchell could be a good shout - he's scored well in my draft team the last two weeks so i think he goes ok in this format. Fui is another option if you think he can hold down his spot in the 2RF. Another option - and I say this bearing zero responsibility - would be the Black Widow if he can get his spot back in the 2RF. But with Angus Crichton going great guns, he might just end up back on the bench.
