I just considered double cheapie this week to build a war chest, but that means I delay 1 gun this week and 1 gun next week

Current plan:

Week 1: Koro and Young to Ponga and Asi - 420k banked
Week 2: Fogarty and S.Crichton to Tevaga and <780k

Double cheapie plan:

Week 1: Koro and Young to Sironen and Asi - 839k banked
Week 2: Fogarty and S.Crichton to Tevaga and Bateman
Week 3: Havili + 330k > Taupau/Munster/Moses/Ponga/Teddy

Are you grabbing Asi just to allow Ponga?

Sounds like a risky pick considering Morgan not far off

Double cheapies plan looks awesome.

Good point. With Young playing 80, Bateman being back doesn't alter things much, but CHN joining does.

Mentioned this to a mate this morning. We probably see CHN join the middle rotation, which would mean Havili is freed up to stay at hooker

Does that make Havili a good pick up for the remainder of the season

Niu at CTR. And if Talau goes well I’ll leave it as is, if not I’ll bring in Aubbs

Yep solid plan

Edit- apart form the Aubbs bit. I'll never condone owning him.

I think its a bad thing for both Havili and Starling

Asi is a 2-3 week pick up at centre that should score atleast 30 a week. If I get any more than that it's a bonus. He does also enable Ponga, although this was planned before Koroisau injury so might reassess Sironen

I just realised I can also go Koro to literally anyone in the game.. which err.. gives me a lot to think about. Cook has been on my radar for a while.. has started to push his price right up though..

Does kill the bank though.

At the cost of 1 extra trade, minus a few points(playing Herbie/Hammer over Ponga in the short term) I can get Bateman and have an 18th man(Sironen). Think I'm liking that plan aswell

Hmmm I think I’m just trying to find excuses to trade atm.
I can get by without trading at all since I have two fit CTRs and can work around Koro, but the urge is so strong with some of the players on offer

How many trades have you got to begin the week?

Who knows how it shakes out. Havili could be an 80 minute hooker the rest of the way. Havili could revert to a 20 minute bench middle role.

I would be trading in either Starling or Havili this week now that we have better cows (Sironen and Asi), atleast in the short term

I've got 12 before any moves this week. Seems well above average so I'll probably take the plunge

Still hot on Asi?  I was as well but then lured by the cash of Koro to bring in Hunt and Taupau/Tevaga this week.    Asi seems like a good opportunity though, especially if he gets DPP soon.

Tempted to hold Koro and see how it plays out. Before his injury news I pretty much had my trades locked in.

With Rudolf getting the lock spot I'm wondering if I need Taupau.

I've also got 12, seems like we are considering similar moves.

Just looked at the draw, I don't actually need to make any trade decisions until Saturday's games. Might have to start on  6 can Saturday early and see where the drunken trigger finger takes me.

EDIT- Well I do need to decide on Niu or Wiliame out for ~another~ centre before the Broncos play, but I'm pretty set on punting Niu unless there is some good news re his injury.

Yep I'm pretty hot on Asi. Will score better than most centres over the next 3 weeks and at that point he can become a red dot for all I care. I do think Cowboys need to shake things up so is a chance he hangs around

Its probably posted already,
but apparently Milford "struggling in Broncos training"

Yeah I think he's got the same problem that Hodges had.

Yep if I go double cow (siro and asi) siro is my last true cow (cash making possibility to be traded out later possibly) asi will just be a complete cash out with the possibility to keep a spot all year.
