If you want to see a smaller subset, just adjust the number in the link below:

Ben Hunt in most of the top teams. Tevaga not as many trade ins as I thought.

Yeah true mate. Yep still a great buy, finally get to own him. Probably gonna captain him this week if he gets named at hooker, will be in for a big game against his former club!

I am leaning towards holding this week.

Can use Niu as a centre loop for S. Crichton and Latrell. I’ll be playing Aubbo definitely as my first centre option.

Team is:

Grant
Haas MoFo
Lucy Murray Yeo
Cleary Pearce
Aubbo Niu
Teddy Ponga Pap

Hunt Carrigan Taupau Young
B. Sironen Latrell S. Crichton Hammer


Anyone think I need to make trades?

Hold your trades, you don't have anyone that's an urgent sell.

If you did want to get rid of Tesi Niu, then Starling or Randall would be your best bet.

That said I have one less trade than you and am burning another one this week on selling Field to Randall or Starling, and thinking of burning a 2nd one to sell Luai to the other cheap hooker. Would leave me with 5 trades, 311k and the following side

Grant
Haas, Fotu
Tevaga, Lolo, Yeo
Cleary, Flanno
Lomax, Crichton
Teddy, Ponga, Papy

Mann, Carrigan, Starling, Randall

Talau, HTF, Averillo, Niu

Yeah I think I’ll hold. Hopefully Young is named in the second row once again tomorrow. If so will jjst need to figure out whether I play Young or Siro as 17th man.

As for you I would just make the 1 trade. I would not use 2 you’ll regret it in coming weeks.

I’d just bring in one of Randall or Starling. Who knows Randall may be named on the bench tomorrow and not starting.

Luai has a BE in the low to mid 20’s so I would not be selling him this week.

I’m certain that you definitely need to save a trade this week.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll hang onto Luai and bank a trade, and I think I'm gonna go Starling as he seems to have a defined role, while Randall doesn't really. While I think Randall will start, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some Mann/Hoy/Lino/Crossland fuckery on the bench that cuts into Randall's mins.

Field to Starling still leaves me 90k in the bank, 17 starters and 6 trades. That said, I had a look at my trades last year and I actually had less trades at this point last year (had 5 trades left over the last 9 rounds)

Good luck in the eliminator this week mate

I think this year in the run home will be different especially moreso than ever given there have been no bye rounds in this shortened comp. it’ll be fantasy carnage.

Teams cemented in that top 4 will rest star players and especially against weaker opposition as well.

I kinda see this as a positive though. The shorter minutes allowed him to do more work ore tackles and RM) which may have been a plan going into the game. The doggies are a middle third slug it out team, so I'd be surprised if that changed. Also he was known for being a dynamic forward over in Britain so I expect as he gets more comfortable with the Australian game he'll be making more TBs and get some attacking stats. 

As a new owner I might be being quite glass half full, but I can definitely see him as a good buy.

KingTeddy wrote:Bringing in Mcinnes this week hoping for his DPP after this round. Anyone know why his scores seem to be lower at lock rather than at hooker? Don't understand how playing lock would make him score less cause hooker and lock both defend in the middle of the park, but at lock he benefits from run meters and opportunities for TB with his elusiveness around the ruck? Was it just a few quiter games because his tackle count was much lower at lock or do you reckon he might have been told to ease up on all the tackles and focus on running a fair bit as he is already a great defender. Thoughts lads?

I’m surprised by Murray’ low ownership. Only in 102 teams. One of them being mine
