I'm still trying to decide on my trades, thinking Matterson out and Harris in, could be Bateman but something is making me hesitate, and he costs more
Good luck everyone

Yeah, sorry, should have mentioned I was checking on Teddy as I captained him. Yuck.

Have you also looked at Tevaga or do you own him already?

Healthy 26 point downgrade for Mann from 69 to a season low 43 Exactly what I was hoping for after the fkn spud auto updates to 70 every week, until I bite the bullet and bring him in.

Goes nicely with Teddy's phantom assists drying up after paying 930k and captaining him.

Klemmer was the last good trade-in I've made back in Rd 7 Oh and Ponga a couple of rounds ago, but should've waited 1 more week to dump Pap.

Mann up to 51 after that rant. Appreciate the consolation SC stats guys

Another week maybe and then might dump Doueihi. Rough run home for the tigs. Aubs been a nice trade in for my lot.

Not a good round for me, so looking for much better, lol.
Does anyone know why Carrigan played less minutes? Maybe because Fifita came back, then I'd consider trading, but I did read earlier last week, he was in doubt, so could be injured?

I didn't notice I must admit, but I think a few folk saying he got hooked for some poor defensive reads? TPJ out can surely only be good news for his minutes, though.

Currently sitting at 61st overall. I thought i had a shocker but D.Brown and Ponga got me to 1251 which was a better score than the overall leader, haha. This week im bringing in Cook and Nofoaluma for W.Kennedy and C.Smith. I've been resisting bringing in Nofa for a while but i think he will go well against the Dogs and his floor isnt as low as i thought it would be. Next round if BMoz is back, ill have the cash to grab him for Crichton/Mann

Tough call this round as to who i play in my 17. 2 spots left for Murray, D.Brown & Tevaga to fit into. I'm leaning towards the surity of Tevaga and Murray but D.Brown is averaging 68 which is more than both the others. Brown could score 100 again and burn me big time but he could get 35-40 as well. I'm terrible with these decisions!

This seems a nice problem to have, lol. I'm deciding between Rudolf and J Saifiti, unless I trade
Please atm I didn't capt Teddy

I like Rudolf for consistency but Saifiti maybe has more upside. Tough one haha. I made Teddy VC and will give either Bateman or Cleary the captaincy

I’m going Bateman just for a laugh.

58th overall. In comes D.Fifita and Klemmer for Haas and E.Katoa.

Bench reads:
McInnes
Rudolf, Musgrove
D.Fifita, Murray, Tevaga
D.Brown
Blore
Hammer, Wiliame, B.Trbojevic
Ponga

Tevaga and D.Brown will probably score 80s now that i have them outside my 17. Next round ill trade Rudolf and Tevaga for A.Crichton and a Frf/2rF cheapie

EDIT: If S.Johnson is out D.Brown will move into my starting team

I was death riding Haas tbh and with a try and an assist bateman just made it. Nofo was the astute one.

Another backfired trade for me this week. Was tossing up between upgrading GWilliams or EKatoa since I was playing both and chose the wrong one. Should've played the match-ups with GWill vs. dumpster fire Broncos.

Probably go EKatoa back to Koroisau this week. Matto the other main one I'm considering, but price coming down and still some HIA concerns for me.

Maybe cashout Talau for Starford, or dump Davey if all of Cam, Haas and SJ are out.

Yeah, my mate went Cleary VC and Nofo C. He was death riding Teddy and then wanted 100 from Cleary to take it as captain so he ended up keeping the C on Nofo. I wish i'd followed him but honestly i didnt have the nads to not have Tedesco as VC (despite his poor form and a tough matchup).

I have worked out im 188 points outside the top 10 with 6 rounds remaining. Last season i got to a similar spot and started trying way too hard to be unique and it was to my detriment. My theory was that id rather risk losing heaps of ground doing my best to get into the top 10 than play it safe and finish in top 100-200 but never shake top 10. What it meant was that i didnt go Turbo or Ma'u. Going without Turbo was fine but i lost hundreds of points going without Ma'u so im not going to try too hard this season. Hopefully i can gradually make ground and then if need be ill go the hail mary play in round 19 or 20.

Wow that's some confidence. A 93 would be close enough for me to loop if 100 was my target.

I'm slowly climbing but I don't know how long for. At 2305 now and under 1000 points from first.

Yeah, he is a fair way back so mentally its probably slightly easier to throw caution to the wind and go for something like that.

Probably rolling the dice with D.Brown over Johnson who may not be 100% and is up against the Panthers. Then another spot comes down to Murray or Tevaga. Currently going for Murray but im honestly almost 50-50. Murray plays more minutes so i figure there is more opportunity to come up with a big play or a try. I realise that Tevaga gets through more work and scores more points per minute so i probably shouldnt factor minutes into it, however it is honestly the only way i can split them (even if the logic is flawed)

I'm turfing Jasf for Klemmer and cashing out talau for starford I think. Jsaf has been great and probably some good scores coming while his brother out but Klemmer is just another level.
