Thanks T-800 for the avatar

Well this is right !! We can't have unnamed cyborgs running amok on the forums, it could lead to a takeover.

hey guys is best a must have this week in your opinions ?

Cutting him as I have no centre coverage. Otherwise would hold.

Don't assume ur 'name' has passed QA yet either, a tight ship has no holes.

Not really, but he ain't losing his spot now.

I am thinking along the lines of making some cash gain trades this week.

Trade out
Walters – who although has a very low BE still is probably my only trade out
Kennedy – As above, very low BE but probably on gone from team now.

Trade in
Best – CTR with a negative BE and knows how to find the try-line. Ponga loves a cut out ball to his Centre too.
Cash Cow – Someone with a low BE, is cheap and has decent JS for a while.

These trades should generate some cash and allow me to jump from players like Mann, Lomax, Brailey, etc. to guns like DCE, Mitchell (once he returns to CTR) and Cook/Smith/McInnes later in the year, whilst saving trades.

Faamausili with the warriors now for 4 weeks could he be in for a bit of a cash ?

or just there for depth ( emg )

Currently thinking:

Guler + Walters > Teddy + Grant locked in.

Addition to that was thinking Horse + Brailey > Yeo + Crichton.

Is the second 2 a good idea?

Haha.

I’ve missed a fair bit, what’s happened with Rippin?

Hey mate. Rippin is overloaded with work & he & his wife just had a baby so he didn't have the time.

Was there any news on Watson that I might have missed? Thx!

Yes, 4 good trades

I had to play 16 this week but the fantasy gods decided to help me out by taking out Pearce & Watson so my man Mann became the dominant half & score 70 points so a big shout out to the fantasy gods.

NRL physio analysis during the game was syndesmosis injury but scans not done yet so grading unknown but minimum 2-3 weeks

"Connor Watson is done for the day, concern by video for syndesmosis injury (high ankle sprain) as right foot gets caught in turf and externally rotated. Attempted to run it off but unsuccessful. Even minor sprain often requires 2-3 weeks, moderate to severe sprain: 4-8 weeks"

followed by

"Ice positioning also suggestive of high ankle sprain. Fingers crossed not too severe for Watson but concern there for multi-week absence"

both @NRLPhysio Twitter during game

Plenty of players that were looking like good trade in options after round 1 are now deadwood and need to be traded out.

Nice reminder to stick to the fundamentals(Are they a keeper? Will they make an acceptable amount of cash on the downside of your predictions? How is the job security) it will pay dividends at the end of the year

Thanks gents

Who is else is in a club, having a beer and a punt

But there is depth (although shitty average depth) at the Knights. I just got Curtis Scott in my team, due to lack of options. He's hot and cold, thinking I might bank some cash and jump on Best instead.

Other than that, J Williams looks to be a 30-40 point player at best, will jump off him this week. Same with Knight, might go to Fotuaika after his big game and needing to bring in a prop.

As much as was happy getting Crichton for Shiba instead of Best for $$$ BE vs job security I did think Best had the Billy big balls glint in his eye in the sheds before KO

Think I'll still get him in with DPP and already have Aubo Capewell Crichton Williame

Trades sorted for this week. Moving on 3 out of 4 NPR's and a starting fullback !
506K to start with;
1. Kennedy to Tedesco (leaves 34K),
2. Walters to Best to fix centre problem ( 22K left),
3. Williams to Fogarty for cash (235K) which leaves just enough for,
4. Isaako to Ponga (12K remaining)

FBW now Teddy, Ponga, Turbo and Pappy !!

Assuming they both start who should I get: Crichton or Best
