I think I’m going back to safety in Haas. I do have an eye on Lolo though.

I know right! It's like they are actually trying to swab your spine through your face.

I think I'm finally set on my trades.

Grant to D Fifita, Flanno to Munster, leaves me 4 trades and 181k ITB, with the following team

Tevaga
Haas, Fotu
Fifita, Lolo, Yeo
Cleary, Munster
Crichton, Niu
Ponga, Teddy, Talau

Carrigan, Mann, Luai, Randall

Lomax, Averillo, HTF, Papy

As it's set up now, Lomax will get looped into Niu's spot and Averillo into Randall's spot unless Randall plays.

I really hope you are right about Randall my friend. Could really use him this year

You've blown too many trades and arrived at a sub-par bench you might not be able to fix. In your predicament you might as well keep Grant and trade out someone else to a big gun since you have the cash to do so.  

My full strength bench is Hunt, Carrigan , Young and Sironen/Starling/Brimson if I get him in. That is with heaps of cash left so it will eventually become 3 guns and those last three mentioned or if young keeps going well 3 guns plus Young

Was going to be Cook but with the Grant news I've brought McInnes in and putting it on him. Should see plenty of action in a big game against the Roosters tonight

You’ve got me all in now for holding Randall, hope it pays off.

Luai or Starling for last bench spot?

If I get Munster instead of DCE I could probably afford Grant+Ikuvalu to McInnes+Ponga and coast with 4 trades left

Good plan? DCE could go nuts against Warriors but think better to think coverage

Captain Haas for me

Cook also under consideration

Lolo traded in this week so not going to C or VC him in case I need to reverse trades

My Rd 13 Team

Cook
Haas Taupau
Mcinnes Tevaga Murray
Cleary Hunt
Crichton Niu
Tedesco Ponga Papenhuyzen

Carrigan, Koroisau, Taumalolo, Johnson

Randall
Talau
Averillo
Tabuai-Fidow

The way I read this is you are trading Grant next week

Wouldn't it make more sense to trade out the expensive red dot gone for 4 weeks first

if you get DCE who would you get next week?

Munster+ McInnes + Ponga

or something like

DCE + Ponga + ??

Good luck everyone, hope tonights game is a good one

My Rd 13 team:

Hunt
Haas (C) MoFo
Murray Taumalolo Yeo
Cleary (VC) Pearce
S. Crichton Niu
Teddy Latrell Ponga

Carrigan Taupau Lucy Sironen
Aubusson (loop) Hammer Pap Randall

6 trades left 179k spare

3 trades, 6k left

McInnes
MoFo, Haas
Yeo, Lolo, Luciano
DCE, Cleary
Aubo, Aitken
Paps, Ponga, Teddy

Carrigan, Murray, Hunt, Fermor

Sironen, McIntyre, Clune, Niu

Teams are very similiar @Rabbits21
Seems everyone is finally merging with a few differences

Me: Mcinnes, Cook, Tevaga, Koroisau, Johnson
You: Mofo, Yeo, Luciano, Sironen, Pearce

Why does Best have to get injured? Actually so rude and a semi-POD for the run home in a team that relies on him heavily each week for run metres and attacking plays

I'm doing Angus>SST tonight. No FRF cover besides Hetherington. Best>Munster this week then can afford McInnes and Ponga next week and have pretty set 17. Have Cook Lolo Teddy Haas Cleary etc

With the Grant news, all kinds of options available now. Wouldnt mind some thoughts on trading Lucy and Grant for a big gun like Cleary/McInnes/Cook + Thompson vs DFifi + Koro/Murray vs Bateman + Moses.

Still might have to trade Pearce and Robson.

Team before trade (only 5 left):

Hunt
Haas Taupau
Yeo Tevaga Lolo
DCE Pearce
Talau McIntyre
Lomax Teddy Ponga
Carrigan Robson Lucy Starling
Grant HTF Papi Randall
