Ah awesome same night, I only enter 1 team at a time up until now. Why do people enter 15 and 20 teams ? Seems ridiculous. Ur odds are stupid at times, depending on the prizes anyway. Like in my contest I won, one guy had 20 teams entered, thats $300 outlay and 1st prize is $683. Stupid.

Stuff buying another centre, I'm just playing Niu and Crichton there for the time being. Selling Latrell, god knows to who since I have no money after buying McInnes.

So that's what he'll cop if he doesn't contest it?

It's a real hard one. He's not someone I want to hold at all, but trades left might dictate that I have to hold him whether I like it or not.

If there is an amazing trade that needs his dollars to be completed, though, I will do it.

Yep 2 weeks if he takes the early plea. He could plead guilty and contest the grading and he’d still miss 2 weeks if he loses like I can’t see him getting the grading downgraded even if he goes the judiciary.

Still to early to be really thinking about next week but I’m tempted to do a Latrell to James Roberts trade and a Magoulias to Havili trade, should just have enough dollars to make it happen it’ll be so tight.

Would leave me with:

Grant
Haas MoFo
Lucy Murray Yeo
Cleary Pearce
Niu J. Roberts
Teddy Ponga Pap

Koro Taupau Carrigan Havili
Young S. Crichton B. Sironen Hammer


It would make my depth better too. All I’m really missing is a back up half.

Latrell to James Roberts is backwards and another wasted CTR trade

If I hold Latrell then it leaves me thin on WFB and centre cover for a couple of weeks playing S. Crichton and Niu at centre.

If I go Latrell to Havili once again it leaves me with no centre cover. If Niu goes down say next week then I’m not really gonna be able to find a cheap player under 250k for him at centre.

I’m starting to get really pissed off with Latrell for over 500k it’s a waste of money I did not think he’d go so bad as this, I expected just a little better.

That's a very nice looking squad. If it was me, personally, I don't think I'd be moving Latrell on for Roberts when you have Crichton in your reserves. No guarantee at all that Roberts scores any better than Crichton (or Latrell if you hold him). To me you're replacing rocks or diamonds with rocks or diamonds.

Magoulias to Havili looks like a no-brainer, though.

Issue is I don’t have the cash for Magoulias to Havili, I only have 9k spare.

Latrell is as advertised 100s of times weeks ago. Can’t whine about the shit scores when he can hit 60s/70s/80s. All about an average end of season.

I'm not saying it as something I'd advise whatsoever, but I've gone a lot of this year without positional cover, unfortunately.

I wouldn't be trading out Latrell to Roberts essentially just to have CTR cover for a couple of weeks. But that's just me, personally.

Trading out Latrell to a certified gun, I'd have no issue with and I will consider it myself (probably won't be the CTR position, though) but I'm not a mad fan of the Roberts trade.

Well it’s 34 right now. I was hoping for 40-41.

I don't see the appeal in Havili. He marginally burnt me last year.

I know Raiders are really low on troops and he'll have to play big minutes but unless he puts up keeper scores I don't think he's worth a trade.

Ouch. Yeah, that's a bummer.

I'd probably trade out HTF before Latrell to fund that, though, assuming a cheap cow pops up this week. Part of me feels like someone's going to need to smack a cold trout across HTF's face and tell him to fucking do something... but the other part of me says he's just going to do fuck all and not earn another cent. It'd be rough business to trade him out only to see him actually do something, but in positive news he's the only other weak link I can see in your squad at the minute. Wish I had that issue.

Isn't that just because last year they said Hodgson would be out for three years and he was only out for three days*? (*artistic license)

Not that I wish this obviously, but if we're assuming Hodgson is actually gone for the season, I think Havili is a safer bet this time round?

in 9 games, last time I checked it’s not the full season. It’s funny how a perception on a player changes over a few weeks in fantasy and real life. Reality is he’s always been the same fantasy scorer.

As said it's not as much as an issue as you think. Had both those in CTR this week and got 120+ points between them. As long as your CTRs get 60-70 between them it's a good week and you make it up in other positions

Crichton also has Cowboys (5 tries conceded to Sivo/Jennings) and Titans coming up while I was quite impressed with Niu, had good positioning and lots of RM (triple Latrell's RM )

Only need them to average 51 each so I don't think that is that unlikely

Crichton sitting in my emergencies

Any reason Tino Faasuamaleaui played 80 minutes? If that's likely to continue he's my first buy next week. Probably gunna be around 450k for a DPP FRF/2RF. Hoping it wasn't a one off and I can get on that early. Kind of like a budget JFH.

Felice Kaufusi was out injured. Tino was not supppsed to start but Eisenhuth was injured in the warm up.
