TBH i would have chosen Cook and Munster too. Shame Munster got injured as he was on track for a biggy. Not sure what has happened to Cook over the last two weeks, just decided not to get any attacking stats.

I'm happy with the process that led to those 2 coming in. Just unlucky with Munster's injury, and Cook still has some big scores in him, still every chance that he works out the better option longer term

Yeah, same for me. Easily my biggest miss of the year. Irritating too as I only dodged him early on because Tyrone Roberts was allegedly coming back every week throughout his early rise.

Would you rather the extra 40k from trading Randall and holding Niu, or the better loop option of holding Randall and trading Niu?

Knights have 3x Sunday, 2x Sat, 2x Friday. Broncs have one Saturday and everything else Thursday/Friday.

Yeah, I'll hold Randall for the looping option.

If you're using Niu for CTR or WFB loop and not INT, the early lockout has a smaller impact. See either the first page in the loop thread for detailed explanation, or I posted recently in there with example of my team

Basically, if you have non CTR or WFB that locks out later you can still loop

Niu is no chance of contributing to your team for the rest of this year, I'd get rid of him first. Randall probably isn't getting picked in the top 17 from here, but if Mann or a half goes down, he might be straight back in.

I only have Ben Hunt as hooker no other hooker, is this an issue?...

What do we reckon is a more important trade, I think I only wanna make one.

Murray, Yeo or Lucy to Cook or McInnes?

Pearce to Moses?

Or hold the trades and re assess next week? (Probs can’t afford McInnes if I wanted him then)

Is Luai to Koro with only 3 trades left a good move? Or hold trades?

I was thinking of bringing in Sailor but he’s only available at WFB so not great cover

Probably hold.

So last week I ran the gauntlet by grabbing McInnes first, and planning to get Moses this week in one trade, the problem being that it was going to be 50/50 on whether I could do it, given BE's and price changes.

Result.. I can get him in one trade, with 2k to spare.

I guess I should be thanking SJ for running him down on that breakaway

LIKE A GLOVE:

Fingers crossed starling is a play for a few weeks to help sort the rest of the mess out

Searching for a $782 second row  considering fifita Murray  tevaga  Barnett atm

Selling Fog to Difi lets me set up my bench with HOK (Tevaga) and FRF (Carrigan) coverage. Otherwise I have to start one in 2RF.

I think I already know the answer (hold Fog), but would anyone make the trade in that case?

How many trades left after this?

So going off MTB’s site Pearce BE is 47 and Moses has a BE of 35. If I wanna do the Pearce to Moses I probs need to move this week.

Cook has a BE of 76 and McInnes 55. I can probs run with Hunt another week and risk just having one hooker.


Re Pearce to Moses does anyone think that’s to sideways? If Moses avg is around 55 from here and Pearce 48ish is that worth it?

Only concern I have with Moses is that calf.

with Pangai on the sidelines, here's hoping i can luck out with an Oates return and starting 2RF spot for a couple weeks.

The BE's on my site are still a bit on the low side, but that said, it affects every player so result is 'much of a muchness'

EG moses BE on my site was 47, scores 57, and still loses 2k.

To answer your other question, I have 7 trades before trading this week.

How many trades left? Pearce's KM didn't take a major hit with Green arriving, which was the concern. Just a lower than usual tackle count and 7 missed + no attacking stats in a big win. Would also factor in the Knights run home includes Cowboys, Warriors, Dragons, Titans. Chance to go big in a couple of those. Think it's definitely a slight upgrade, but not sure if it's enough unless you're flush with trades.

NRL App BE:

Moses 43
Pearce 56

Obviously scoring for the round has a part to play but if cash is tight it could be a close thing if you wait a week.

Contemplating this move as well, was planning to bring Ted in but he has a BE of 100 so might ride the gauntlet one more week
