Nearly the same team as me! I’m thinking of holding Kolo as I have Walker so my decision is Lenui or Nui (harder choice )

For your team I would play walker over Nui

I do like a bargain , especially one that you get full value out of haha
Give me 50pts in a bye and 100k discount over a full priced player now who averages 5 more points and plays the bye.

That was a good list before too @holymoly, Will be keen to keep an eye on it

As @MultipleScoregasm said in his post, we should be close to having the first cows maturing with the others due in a few weeks
At the same time we will probably get to see some juicy first bye targets due to bad luck or a minor injury bottoming out so just have to sit tight
Grab them and swap them out for the next bye players from rd14 on and ride them to the finish line

Thats what helps early on trading hard to get the right cows as you need them mature,ready to turn into the first bye players
Given they take 4,5,6 weeks often to make $$$ you can't be pissing around too late or buying them when most of their profit is already made
Most should be sorted here and we have been fairly lucky with some great half coin goats and not alot of injuries so can sit tight

These posts in the past few pages are quality now when people are thinking about trades
Too easy to jump sideways when holding a few weeks and getting the underpriced first bye player may be the better move
You never know, the player underpeforming you looked at trading goes on a run, I mean you did start with them

I thought about holding him and turning Simo into Walker and looping Alvaro and Leniu, but I think I'd rather the cash.  I just don't see much value in holding him.  He won't make much more money and I don't see him anymore than a 35 point player.

Tupouniua Riki
Cleary (c) Schuster
Bird Roberts
Tedesco Papenhuyzen Laurie

Brailey
Egan
Liddle
Kenny

O'Sullivan
SWalker
Ah Mau
Niu

At this stage only major worry is Touponiua not playing and with no cover thats an issue
Schuster will hopefully get 2rf DPP soon
Will see how the week progresses but could trade him out if needed

What are your thoughts on Hudson Young as a top 3 Edge?
TU - grab him before his price moves him out of reach
TD - not worth it. Save the bank for Moses / Haas / Ponga

The other thing that amused me in the MS post was the bringing in of multiple guns in rd 13, not weeks before necessarily. I like to think that I absorb a lot of these gems over the years and this one I actually picked up from Rabbit (the original one). Not because he'd helped others nicely with his wisdom, but belittled them after the fact for bringing in guys too early only for them to be injured or dropped. He was right though.

Given you have Lodge (and Leniu and Uto) you could certainly trade out Tauk if you wanted to. It's tough, but I just can't see any other option I would want to trade out to get Cleary. But it's not quite the same as missing out on Pappy or Teddy scores. Most don't captain a Pappy or Teddy. And getting Cleary isn't chasing last week's scores like it is for Pappy, it's chasing next week's scores, because for the most part they are sustainable (although bound to downtick to some extent). I don't want to talk you one way or the other.

haha true but it's a bit of a gamble. A discounted gun is still a gun and you can't predict injury
As long as they are discounted for the right reason, ie HIA then chances are you got a discount(As opposed to being overpriced)
Sure you could wait 4 more weeks for moses, but then you will have to pay more
If they are cheap then you got to grab them, and you do only get 4 trades that round so you can't leave it all to then

Rabs was right, it's the mid traps that you think their role will be something and they don't even play, getting dropped, selected for origin or playing out of position (Ie Harris playing in the halves or Crichton playing at CTR)

A Moses will still keep his role but guessing if a bench/depth player steps up weeks in advance is a gamble
Asiata used to kill it, but there were probably 10 others that tanked and you got stuck with them haha

Everything in balance

I've saved 3 trades so a fairly low panic early on. I was hoping for 60s from Tauk with his GK on top of his previous 56 average from playing 60+ minutes

He's got the minutes and the GK but the output hasn't matched his previous output, I'm still fairly confident he'll turn them round so I guess best option is to hold him

SST is still averaging 51pts and about 250k (worst case) to Haas who hopefully plays rd13
