I’m in the same boat no money spare to a good option

Another cow will pop up this week. Some cows will earn a bit more cash, some cows might get more concreted in their teams. Dont stress mate. The fact Katoa ran on with it last weekend shows it might not be too bad and he just need a rest.

So you’d play with 16 rather than bring in Dunn?

If Dunn averages 28 or 29 for the next few weeks he makes 75k as well, better than nothing!

I reckon don't trade.. Dun up against Knights, Eels, Roosters, Panthers, Manly... Cowboys are fucked

Unless Cowboys get smashed by the Knights and Dunn is dropped for Cooper or Wright.

Edit: ST beat me to the punch!

I’ll just play with 16 but I could drop 1000 ranks, ouch!

As the great cow said. I would rather miss out on 20-30 points and have the extra trade down the track, think how many times a nice cow comes along... just about every week. Hold out son How many other people in your position will be stressing the same thing this week and will pull the trigger on a dud and end up worse off down the track with a useless 25pt scorer in their emg and down a trade so will probably need to keep an underperformer. Instead, you will have the trade up your sleeves to move on someone else to a keeper later on

I immediately regret that considering my rank.

There are probably 10,000+ teams playing with 15-16 players or trade slutting in a shit dud just to fill the pitch and that is even before we get any more news before games start.

Carrigan will be back next week and will have a better idea where Teddy stands.

I was trying to work some max cashout of Paix to allow Katoa to be upgraded to someone, but not confident in all the options coming up.. feels a waste of 2 trades. Guys like Kikau, Finucane, TPJ, SMat among others.. all seem risky or not any better than RFM really.

I think a lot of people in the coming weeks will just wish they played with 16 or whatever and saved trades rather than getting a dud + a non-keeper.

Effectively you are saving two trades if you hold tight with 16 players and not trading.

Having a trade up your sleeve in the last two rounds could be the difference between scoring 2 x 0's or 2 x 60's

Looks like Luai and Hammer will be in the 16, but it is what it is.

RABBITS21 Team currently:

Koro
Haas MoFo
Lucy Yeo E. Katoa
Cleary Moses
Latrell S. Crichton
Teddy Ponga Pap

Grant JTB Carrigan Rudolf
Paix Luai Hammer Magoulias


Not sure about this looping this but could you do this:
Koro
Haas MoFo
Lucy Yeo E. Katoa
Cleary Moses
Latrell S. Crichton
Teddy Ponga Pap

Grant JTB Rudolf Carrigan
Luai Hammer Paix Magoulias

Will that grab carrigan out of 17 and then see he is DNP and then grab one of Luai/Hammer to fill that 17 spot?

Ive somehow avoided all the drams and as it stands I currently have 18 people playable.

Im still stuck with Papy in my team but have the option of getting in fotuaika for him if I use 2 trades. Is it worth? 16 trades left for the season.

Mate you have Haas, Mofo, Cleary, Moses, Mitchell, Yeo, Teddy, Ponga, Pap (against Warriors), JTB, Grant, Koro, Lucy.

A number of players only have 1 of Teddy/Ponga, won't have Latrell at CTR (will be filling with a rookie CTR) and will probably have someone like Rudolf/JTB filling in at FRF.

Although you only have 16 it is still pretty strong.
