Breaking: Titans offer $1.1 million as Fifita backflips on quitting Broncos.
Fifita called coach Anthony Seibold last night to tell him he was leaving to join Titans.
This morning he called Seibold saying he had changed his mind and is still deciding.

Beautiful!

Hmmm working out ways to get Milf in my team...

I am currently 6th in the Melbourne Storm league. 99 points behind 1st. Who has this team

CM13
Haas Foto
Carrigan Yeo Harris
DCE Cleary
Lomax Talau
Best Mitchell Teddy
Koro Grant JTB Fui
Niu HTF Luai Paix

It's pretty much
CM13, Yeo, Harris, Best, Mitchel, JTB, Teddy, Foto, Fui
vs
Matteron, Crichton, Ponga, Young, Butcher, Lolo, Pappy, Lucy, Farns

Pretty close match up. He has me based on averages but guys like JTB, Fui, Best are pretty inflated based on earlier scoring and filling in for injuries whereas I have guys like Butcher, Young who's average is a bit lower due to coming off the bench, etc. He would probably trade fui this week so not sure who takes that spot but looking at the teams between I think 4th is best set up to take a run at the top. I reckon I have a good chance to mow him down as well.

I don't think I'll ever sell Mann cause he's my favourite player

Not sure on Kai O’Donnell. Doesn’t Ricky have a history of taking a long time to blood junior players? Like gives them bugger all minutes for first few weeks?

Was certainly the case for Horse. Was painful owning him the start of last season.

He needs to be the priority.

Boyd and Milf on big money plus guys like Glenn, Croft on decent coin. Factor in that they'll need to offer Haas big money soon. Not looking good lol

I'm selling him this week

I feel that way but I have to

With the Bronco’s starting to get some players back, it’s only a matter of time before the form picks up.
I’m not sure if this is the week but I like the punt.
I’ve got my eye on him.

Tbh, Haas, Fifita, Bird at FB, Isaako one wing, Oates the other, I honestly call that a top 4 team despite their halves. It's just a shame they're not all on the field

After all the earlier excitement I suppose no one would object to me keeping Ponga and correcting my horrendous Latrell buy gamble last week and doing Latrell>Angus Crichton?

Grant
MoFo, Haas
Yeo, Lolo, Luciano
Mann, Luai
Best, Aitken
Paps, Ponga, Teddy

Carrigan, Koro, Macca, Clark

Fermor, Talau, McIntyre, Clune

What needs fixing first? Upgrading Mann or Leilua? Upgrading Luai? Or the fact I have to rely on one of those fine folk as a 17th man?

He was my Reed Mahoney this year. I sold Mann and Kennedy for DCE and HTF in R5. Mann was 527K he is now 604K and playing beautifully.

Funny though that I sold him in R5 so from R1-4 he was averaging 49.25 and R5-8 he has averaged 47.5. DCE from R5-8 has averaged 61.5 so I guess I have gotten a 14 point upgrade each week (extra 56 points) but DCE is now 39K cheaper than when I brought him and Mann is now 77K more expensive than when I sold him.. So for a gain of 56 points I lost 38K.

However; HTF has scored more than Kennedy in that time to probably make up for it.

Despite the recent garbage Latrell an important CTR piece. I want to see if the Ponga experiment works

Mate, no one objects, it's your team. If your gut is telling you to sell Pongdong, then just do it. Have gone with my gut the most season than any other and having my best start to any fantasy season ever. Our opinions and advice is just that. Do what you think is best.

wait...you brought Latrell last week and want to get rid of him this week? Otherwise it's to trade out Ponga?



Edit: Curious though what's your team looking like and how many trades?

Yeah Mann and Lomax have been great for my team.
Upgrading Mann this week though...
