Moving forward should be easy, I won't have any trades left to worry about!

I use the same philosophy with wine/beer....drink it all now so you won't be tempted later

That sounds like me this week. Except maybe just single cow for Luai. Other cows are HTF, Paix, Niu and they haven’t earned enough to be worth the trade so will hold them for a month and see where they get too

If SBW does come back, surely it's just as a bench player?

Might just grab a try or two with some easy fixtures coming up for the chooks. The Widow is hard to resist

if I had 12+ trades I might

But as it is not going to trade in a guy who almost certainly will have to be traded out again - even if he does give me a few weeks of good scoring

Matterson as captain is just starting to play silly buggers again isn't it ?

I hope not, or if probably better captaining someone like Aubbo

The amount of hype about Matto vs The Tigers this week means it can't be anything other than a total fizzer (Matto to get his average on the knocker)

Lads, who are we slapping the captaincy on?

Is Haas set & forget? Teddy? Cleary?

Currently got it on Haas, but want to take a risk.

Yes Hunt should get DPP after round 12, Scout has indicated that McInnes will get 2RF for playing lock, which would follow on that then hunt in the same team gets DPP for playing hooker now.

But honestly mate there's no crystal ball, just pick one and back yourself.

I don't mind people asking for help and suggestions now and then, that's part of why we are here, but you might get more feedback if you weren't giving off the impression you're playing community team 3.0 every week

Most of us on here post our side mate shout out some talk of potential options and then discuss help one another. I see most do it every week. Most of us don’t just come on once a month and ask for advice just as a once, maybe you do though and that’s your choice.

I have backed myself on quite a number of things this year eg bringing in MoFo and Murray. I also got Cleary from the start and I got on B. Sironen about 3 weeks ago and have already enjoyed 60k in price rises.

I’m also starting to warm to bringing Aubbs in this week and I’ll own that. I see him playing 80mins until Angus returns. Looking like Angus could now miss 5-6 weeks as well. Even in the run home Robbo will rest Cordner as well so that’s only good for Aubbs.

I'm almost out of trades so whoever comes in has to stay. A lot of luck involved but he should be starting more often than not for the next half of the season with Angus gone and Cordner just waiting for his next injury/rest

If you had to go on someone who's not Haas - go with Teddy. Could easily ton up against the Warriors

I need to hold one of Angus or Api since I only have 8 trades

Angus I suspect comes back sooner and probably higher scores, also lower ownership. Leaves me with 720k to turn Fogarty to Moses next week.

Korosau might be out longer, comes back to an easy draw but probably lower scores, higher ownership. Leaves me with 790k to turn Fogarty into Twal

TU Hold Angus
TD Hold Api

Think I’ve decided to bring in Hunt and Starling for Angus and Koro. Leaves me 675k bank to bring in Tevaga and any other gun. Sound plan?

Can't wait to see the reactions after Teddy scores 30 points in the rain this week

Like it. Those are the same 2 I traded in last week.

30 points ahahahah. Buddy basically gets that from meters alone.

Sure WFBs never have down weeks. Teddy will score 70+ for the rest of the season...

Got a feeling seibold messes with the rotation this week

Never said this and never will lol. Just saying Teddy has an incredible base for a WFB. Almost averages 8 TB a game along with 240m....
