That’s what I think too.

If only we knew about Moses being out longer last week.

Makes sense if you've got trades to burn. I've had Gutho since early on -playing much better than expected and I'm still surprised.

I wouldn’t do it.

Lol no.

When do we reckon Fogarty is a trade out? Seems to be plugging along okay at the moment as my 17th man but I have a fair bit of cash lying around to upgrade him.

Is Angus Crichton's current role likely to continue? I wouldn't mind bringing him in now rather than waiting on Tevaga who might not even pan out.

I was going to keep Mann until Moses was back, but now that's been pushed back I think I need to sell him, he's peaked and been punching above his weight. I think he's nominally a 40 point player and will start losing cash. I reckon Wakeham is actually an upgrade of a few points on Mann with his bulk KMs. And the cash allows Leilua to Crichton. I'd be looking to make about 100k on Wakeham to help close the gap on Moses.

Then would just need to upgrade Young to a FRF, I'd probably need to cash out Scrichton at some stage to do that.

So:

Mann -> Wakeham

Leilua -> Angus

Cook
Haas Carrigan
Matterson Crichton Murray
DCE Wakeham
Scrichton Talau
Teddy Ponga Pappy

Koro, Grant, Robson, Young

Niu, Herbie, HTF, Wiliame

Thoughts?

I just see him as a lucky pick that I got early on. Maybe he keeps it up the whole season, but I's be scared to buy him.

I hope the people who've max-traded and are bringing in cows covering for injured players have worked out how they're going to cash them in.

I've saved a few trades (13 left, 11 next week) but planning ahead don't think I can afford to get more than one more pure cow. Two downgrades to current 18-21 can fund three upgrades to playing team for a good 17/18 which will leave six trades for injuries or luxuries for the last two months, but an extra cow would mean four trades left... those who haven't saved trades even fewer.

TL/DR unless you have 14+ trades only bring in Jai Field if you don't mind either seeing him as red dot for the last two months of the season or don't mind playing with 15 for the last few weeks having run out of trades.

I’ll probably do what I should’ve done last week and go Moses to DCE.
Only used 1 trade last week, would love to have 4 this week.

Yeah sucks to only find out now. I made that trade last week, I have Nathan Brown to thank for that, 2-3 week injuries are a trade for me now.

I don't hate it. That would be a fucking amazing team. How many trades after that?

Even with a few extra trades it’s a bad trade

9 BUUUUUT I'm really close to stopping I promise

I agree in so much as i have a gut feeling, but he's gone beyond what my original gut feeling was. And, if either my gut or mind could be deemed as things to go by, I'd have to look elsewhere to explain why I'm in the position i am.

What's the update on Moses?

R12/13

Only have 10 trades left (Newbie so max trading was the most fun thing to do)

Is JTB -> RFM worth doing? Only have 130k ITB, means that carrigan goes to FRF (no cover there)

Additionally, is Sione a wait and see? or is moving him to RTS a good move? (alternative is to wait for ponga

Don't want to run out of trades but also don't see JTB having any more price increases

(Bench is JTB, Sione, -
Luai, Talau, Niu, HTF, (Williame loop)

God damm it. Can't hold him for 4 to 5 weeks. That Canberra / Eels game through a major spanner in the works. The Horse out as well.

9 trades would explain that team. It looks really good though. No forward cover and a bit light on the EMG but Damn nice.

Potentially 4 weeks of Field. Makes it hard if you still have Luai like myself.

I really need to pick up a 2RF or FRF to replace JTB.
I can afford anyone. 
Lolo seems the obvious choice, Angus the reason I reversed trades on Robson to save cash.
But now I’m wondering if it worth saving 150-200k for upgrades elsewhere by picking up Fotuaika.
For his price he really isn’t scoring far off Lolo. Seems absurd not to pick him up and pocket the cash
