Paix has to go and I need to make some money, just worry a little re Averillo’s job security.

I like what ive seen from Averillo. When he gets involved he has looked pretty good, its just he isnt involved consistantly which can be an issue for young centres/wings.

I would like to think he has pretty good job security as i dont think anyone will push him out. Then again i dont know the Dogs list that well. It was intriguing to me that they used Holland as a backup hooker against the sharks. Proves that Pay is up to trying a few different combinations but i think Averillo is safe for the time being.

It is more his scoring potential or lack thereof that would be my concern.

Why does Paix "have" to go? He has a BE of 12 so shouldn't lose cash this week. I plan on saving the trade and reassessing my options next week to make sure I get the right cow. Am I the only one that see's it this way?

Nope, I’m doing the same.

But I’m also holding Kennedy and Wiliame so there’s probably a happy medium in there somewhere

Averillo seems to be there on merit. Holland is a concern, but Pay did play him as bench hooker for about ten games in 2018, (well he was interchange and from memory he played a fair bit of bench hooker that year), might be the plan going forward. The next few fixtures are potentially winnable, so might be able to cement a spot. It just sucks they often play late in the round, as you don't know if you can rely on him playing.

The only one I'd punt Paix for is Avo, because of his BE.

I too am holding Kennedy. I'm also holding the likes of Luai and Crichton. I just can't see any great trade in options so going to avoid trading all together for the 2nd week in a row while I watch everyone else burn there's away

Interesting, sounds similar to my team. I have Kennedy, Paix, Luai and Wiliame. If I made no moves I would have to play Luai at 17 and Paix as only remaining active player in EMG.. bit concerning, and then if Katoa is out I'm in big trouble. Think I have to do at least Kennedy to a WFB cow. Finding it tough this week

"I'm sick of wasting trades on CTRs. No more! “

This week:
"Who should I trade out to get Averillo?"

Getting Fifita back will be the key. Won their first 2 games with him playing. Haven't won since. Gives them spark on attack and team balance.

Relying on a 20 year old back-rower to save your team is bad coaching. A good coach like Des gets his team competitive no matter who takes the field.

with only 14 trades left should I swap carrigan for fotuaka. or hold him and play either Rudolf or jtb? I have horse as well. cheers

That is also called belief in your coach and your teammates.. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of the other younger boys were calling for the dropping of a few of their older stairs because they have no trust in them anymore (Darius).. It's all smoke and mirrors to the press. Seibold strikes me as someone who pumps his blokes up in a way that makes the team feel like a party rather than a job. Des's boys for example seem ill disciplined in game and ready for the fight no matter who is beside them.
Also I think with the Broncos being pretty much a one team town, the young players (Flegler, etc.) get their heads built up too quick around the media after 1-2 big games and a couple Origin comments that they feel they don't need to go on with the job.

TL;DR - I think Broncos have no belief in their coach or their senior members

Doing the same. I have a Twal and turbo sized hole to deal with first.

WAGs team was doing really well last week ranked 475. This week I dropped to 932 and now I have in my team;

Twal
Turbo
Teddy
Suli
Katoa
Carrigan

If both Katoa and Teddy don't play, I'll field 16 even after making 2 trades based on player positions. Never had such a collapse before, wow.

What trades are you thinking mate? ATM I'm thinking of Twal --> Mofo and Turbo --> Flanno and shifting Drinky to WFB for the time being.

That is spot on.

I would definitely save a trade there.

cheers lucky i asked he was a diffinent sell to me lol. what about turbo hold or sell?

Mofo locked in as one. Wanted flanno this week..
but I'm not keen on playing Hammer as wfb. So, probably one of Teddy/Ponga

no_worryers wrote:cheers lucky i asked he was a diffinent sell to me lol. what about turbo hold or sell?

Turbo's a trade mate. Try to get Ponga if you don't have him already. Otherwise RTS, Dedwards, Dufty have been mentioned, out of those I favour RTS probably, but it'd be hard to pick a warrior this week.

Edit: Or otherwise Latrell or Hoppa if you don't have him already, with a view to moving him to centre when you can afford a better WFB.
