Koro - Cook for 1 trade

Cook Grant
Haas Eisnhuth (Musgrove Ale)
McInnes Lolo Jurbo Crichton Carrigan (Fermor)
CLeary Williams Pearce (Clune)
Mann Yeo (Talau Wiliame)
Teddy Ponga Pappy (Lomax Kennedy)

Only $11k in the bank.
Is it worth moving Angus on, or should I just move Wiliame to Aubusson.

I think Aubbo would be surplus to requirements at the back, although if you want to hold Crichton you will get a sub par score. Maybe Wiliame to Aubbo to play 4th reserve this week, while also being a Crichton handcuff for late in the season?

That's my concern - that I don't have a good 18th man here

So if I hold Crichton I either have to play someone like Lomax, or trade someone else. Aubusson at sub $300k might not be base price, but he's the best scoring i'll get in that price bracket (short term at least) unless I wanted to punt on Bayley Sironen

In a pinch I could hold Crichton and you probably could too, but yeah it's the opportunity cost of holding that makes me want to sell. I'd rather get JFH's score than Rudolf's.

I'd actually be confident playing Lomax in your team though so that would alter my decision. I don't think you need Aubbs so it would be a preference thing. Would you prefer playing him/having him on your bench going forward?

Aubbs definitely the safest bet there short term 100%

I'm looking at bringing in Aubbs as well. Would prefer to hold Crichton too, but not sure its possible. My current team is:

Grant (Koro)
Hass MoFo Carrigan Rudolf
Lolo McInnes Matterson Leilua (Crichton Fuimaono)
Cleary Hunt Williams (Clune)
Yeo, Niu (Talau HTF)
Teddy, Ponga, Mann (McIntyre Wiliame)

Either:

(a) I ship out Crichton and Koro - for JFH and C.Smith - which would be an upgrade on my third (G.Williams) and fourth (Rudolf) reserves. But this means playing one of Talau, HTF or McIntyre as my 2nd CTR.

or

(b) I bring Aubbs in at CTR and trade Crichton to JFH or Koro to Tevaga ($900 short of bringing in C.Smith). This would mean playing G.Williams or Rudolf as my fourth reserve.

might just add up the projected scores of each possible team. worth checking your eliminator opponent too - mine's got Koro but not Crichton, but I'd say I'm a slight favourite.

Looks like I'm bringing in Cameron Smith this week. Just wondering why I felt like I was dragging my feet in the sand to get it done. I feel no excitement or delight in it. Might need to consider these feelings over the next few hours.

I think I’m going to pass. I need to bring ted in this week so need a cash out to do so, I will need to turf leilua and upgrade Norman eventually

Think I’m gonna do Koro + Angus for Matto + Flanagan this week.

Got an interesting eliminator this week, could go either way with about 8 differentials.

Same here. Facing another boom or bust team. Could depend a lot on who/if they trade Koro for. They still have DFifita though so it has a whiff of dead team without it being totally gone. Should be ok

Eliminator match up could be anything with 13 differentials

I'd rate mine stronger while opponent runs out the likes of Talau, Coates, Clune, Fitzgibbon, Liam Martin but a few tries could see me in trouble

It says I'm suppose to win my eliminator but it's close. I had a war chest so lets hope who I brought in makes a difference

I have Koroisau & Angus that I want to get rid off but my ctr is a problem & am playing Talau. Would you:
(a) sell Koroisau & Angus & play Talau or
(b) sell Niu to Aubs so I don't have to play Talau & sell 1 of Koroisau/Angus

On Aubs someone posted on the fantasy thread that Angus could be 6-8 weeks so that brings Aubs onto the radar. Cheers.

I'm very nervous about my Eliminator. When it all irons out I think we might only have 4 or 5 different, depending what he does with Koro. The graph has me on top by probably 1 or 2 points at the end of it, so it's going to be a tense weekend.

i’m in the same boat, and am leaning towards (b) with Angus -> JFH my other likely trade.

I did B

I would do whatever it takes to not play Talau

Have to start either Talau or HTF. Who would you go with?

I'd have to go with HTF but it's a flip of the coin.

Matterson noooooooooooooooo lol

Thank sweet goodness my Eliminator chap and I both had Matterson. Relief.

For the record, if Cook gets rested this week Matterson is his VC, so I wouldn't mind that, lol. I, do not have Cook.
