I feel terrible at Fantasy when I see a team like that. I'm definitely doing something very wrong, lol.

You and I both bro

Brailey
Watson Koala Leniu
Fifita Riki
Cleary Scooter
Niu Avo

Angus Turpin Liddle Bird

Milf Alvaro Stefan Simon

327K.  Nothing really sticks out though at the moment.  I think I refuse to swap Avo for another dud.

Very similar side to mine.
You - Milf, Stefan, Simonsson
Me - Croker, Moylan, Lam.

My plan this stage (228k itb) is Lam and Averillo to Walker and gun centre. Leaning toward Momirovski at present, possibly Peachey.

Looking at your side, I’d go Averillo and Simonsson out for Lam and your choice of centre

Niukore to be a DPP CTR/MID soon. How could you not get him in your team, while he is still affordable

Teeth Eater wrote:So I think I've decided I'm going to hold Averillo and play once centre this week.

The question is, do I leave Averillo there gathering dust, or do I jump straight onto Walker this week to get right in on that action? Then just go without CTR cover from next week until I need it? If Averillo is out for an extended time, I still won't have CTR cover anyway, so I could start bringing in dollars instead?

With Averillo in the reserves I'm more inclined to think it may only be a one week thing, in which case it's probably wiser to hold onto him.

But I'm not sure... any thoughts?

I guess the question to ask yourself is, if I keep him will he make any cash? If the answer's no (which I suspect it is), is holding him for coverage worth killing a cash making spot, and will he provide coverage anyway given he's not currently in the team, and if you need to play him for cover, will he give you many points in any case? I play fairly aggressively, I would certainly consider selling him and bring in an better option if and when you need them. But the flip side is you can wait on Walker, his price won't go up heaps even if he scores well and then you get to have a look at him in first grade.

Team for this week. Come on Brimson this is your week!

Brailey
Welch, Tino, Lodge
Fifita, Tups
Cleary, Munster
Momo, Roberts
Papy, Brimson, Laurie

Turpin, Riki, Watson, Schuster
Liddle, SOS, Niu, Utoikamanu

Is LAM still a good purchase? I want to get rid of Tino and don’t have much extra cash so which of these three is the way to go 1) Niukore (I have no Parra players) 2) LAM 3) Peachey

Because no ones dumb enough to spend 500k on a CTR playing at CTR

A much needed, over due avatar update, and deserved acknowledgement.

Nah, back home. Can't complain. Fair chance it will mess up holiday plans though. But there's a lot in that boat.

Wow, very tempting but it is a pretty awkward price.

No Brimson to Egan temptation or is that trades done ?

I am! break-even of 21 this week.. better value than Peachey for those who are bringing him in. He will be one of the highest scoring CTRs by the end of the year. Waqa Blake is out indefinitely

So its that old trust quarantine scenario only ?

Load up on the Easter eggs mate

It’s only been several years in the making. But, seriously, it was time for one and I finally got around to it

Who's to say he even gets CTR DPP

Yes he's being named there but pretty sure they view it now as if it's a long term thing and not just covering injury

So if he doesn't get CTR (and for at least next 3 rounds) he'll just be a mid-ranger MID

What’s the story with Peachey? Will he keep lock or shift back to the bench soon enough? How many minutes did he get last week?

Thanks, cob. Yeah, it's tricky. I don't want to miss out if Walker drops a 60, but on the flip-side, what if I do it and he drops a 20? I personally think he will score well, so I'm really considering the Averillo to Walker trade. Will gather info over next couple of days and see what happens.

If I had one Christmas wish this weekend it'd be that the Roosters played before the Dogs. There's probably nothing in it, but jeez I'd love to see what they do with Suaalii in the reserves. Like I say, probably nothing at all. But even if he just came in off the bench for $228K it'd probably be enough for me to dump Averillo for him. Price and DPP would be too hard to pass up.

Have one spare, but not keen on running Niu there either. All good I’ll keep the faith and hope for better

43 at a guess. It's peachey, like Capewell, I'd never dare a guess. Mr fixits.
