Think I am very happy to play Mann in the halves until he peaks. He has been a great pick however have picked all the wrong low end cows this year (read Broncos) pissing away the trades which is annoying

Avg 70.75 in 8 games with 6 tries.

Hoping for a combination of Eels being a better team and Teddy regression to the mean for that price to come down some

That peak is coming very soon though, need to have a bit of a plan there I think.

49 avg with 41 lowest score. Not sure how he's an urgent trade out

Weren't they one of the worst teams in the comp all bar one of those games last season?

WT Winfield wrote:

Yeah I'm hoping Eels have gotten their shit together finally, but it's mostly all of the same players. Matto instead of Ma'u about the only major difference.

Mulvy wrote:

Yeah they're a different team this year. Matterson and RCG good additions, Moses playing his best footy, Dylan has been outstanding, a real talent. They've been great defensively. From memory, they were without Nathan Brown a lost last year too. Hope I haven't put the mocker on them!

Can you make something by going Lucy + Suli?

Even if you bring in two cows, bank bulk cash. Move Rudolf up into 14-17. Next week upgrade Drinkwater to Ponga/teddy

Any point in ur season that comes to this is precisely when u need to say ok, new challenge, simply go nuts on trying to improve ur rank from here. Got me through many a season. Do it @Surmo13, don't cave in, that's soft !!

Totally agree! I won't be competing for the top but from where I am now I will be very happy with top 2500, that's my new goal

Thanks mate.  Unfortunately I come up just short with Lucy and Suli.  May even look at Lucy and Drinkwater.  I thought about 2 cows but don't think Ted can wait. I would like to keep Friend too really.

wolfking wrote:Hey lads, I posted this before the team lists were announced because I'm a muppet so excuse the repost but I'm stuck here.  My Wags team is inside the top 500 (before start of the round) and smashing my main team.  I think I need Ted in one of my teams but the only real way I can get him is for Friend.  I know I talked shit to someone else earlier in the week for this but want to have a real crack with this team and am coming around to the same thing.

Friend
Haas Twal
Tolo Carrigan Katoa
Moses Mann
Mitchell Crichton
Pappy Turbo Drinkwater

Koro Grant Lucy Fog

Rudolf Clark Luai Suli

20 trades and 28K.  Suli and Drinkwater is not enough.  Friend is the only option after ditching Suli.  Is that just stupid?

Haas is being worn down too. The big mins and lack of support from other players are taking its toll. Obviously he puts up big numbers on the stat sheet but his impact is being lessened week to week.

What about Lucy and Pap?

Mucks things up a bit with getting rid of Drinky. But if the $$s work, could you go Lucy Pap to Teddy and someone cheap. Next week, Suli and Drink to Ponga and someone? Probably a bit short id think.

Mulvy wrote:

I guess if Carrigan was more than one week, him and Drinkwater could be a goer. I mean ideally you'd hold Carrigan. But ideally you'd hold Friend too, likely both keepers. I guess if you're in the MS camp Friend is a keeper, if you think Verrils will continue to impact him you could maybe justify the trade. Personally, I'd save the money, get RTS, which will leave more money to upgrade Mann to a proper keeper in a couple of weeks. You've got a relatively high number of trades to then consider later on selling Pappy or one of the other two WFBs to Teddy when his price eventually comes down.
