I'm tempted too. DPP as well

Where is the Walsh news coming from? I know you had some news the other week about Turpin still playing 80 and Levi playing a Lock role but that never happened. Is CHT going to come in, and then who drops out of their 17?
Cini's job security scares me, he looked alright but if Roberts just shows up it will hurt you. I don't really like TPJ too much I feel he will just stop scoring so well, Brimson is a crazy pick considering the form change and potential to play Origin as well. I mean I would rather Trbojevic over all the WFBs you listed and he is priced less than all of them.

From Nathan Brown tonight it was posted on discord by a Warriors supporter I think. CHT has been training with Nikorima in the halves all week. Walsh training in a 14 kinda role.

He scored 13 last week which will scare people off and he plays in a relatively shit team. Averillo is less than 100k in price. Curtis Scott if he finds some form, Burns if you want a punt, Kris is a punt if he can lcok down the CTR position and May is getting some hype.

I think I'll just play 16 this week. Might help me not have to play with 16 later in the season.

I'd only be trading in cheap CTR like Cini/Chambers just for this week anyway. if Momirovski doesn't get back in the team then I'll trade him to Peachey/Gun.
Spending the extra cash this week for a middie like SCrichton or whoever just seems like something I'll regret later when he's in my NPRs not making money

Will sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow.

You can field 17 including a full backline without trading.

You might have to play someone for a week who may not score well, suck it up dude don’t piss away a trade.

You need to start playing with your head more and stop reacting to every half backed internet rumour and half arsed theory thrown up by someone here.

You have asked the same question multiple times, what do you reckon the answer might be? Good R13 plan or shit short term fix?

I have Alvaro and Uto though and compared to lots of teams on here I’m falling behind and I  have easily lost 150-200 points on some the last month and have  not generated the team value some others have either.

I haven’t asked re trading Hampton to a WFB guy that plays round 13 multiple times that was the first timeI asked it tonight is it not!!?......... show me where I asked that before?!

I’ve gone cold on Walsh for now so was asking for thoughts around what was better.... bringing another WFB in so I don’t have to play Simonsson again and again like I’ve had too or whether Hampton to Cini to allow Alvaro or Uto to be upgraded to TPJ would be a better move.... 

I’m only looking for insights.

I mean who do you want at the end of the season Laurie or Papy? I still am not sold on TPJ keeping up the scoring but I am high on Harris personally, still out of Haas and TPJ it is hard to argue that the money + no origin is better.

I see the appeal of TPJ but his stats still put me off on taking the punt on him.

Just looking at his starts as EDG from Round 6:

R6 v Panthers = 65 points
- Try ( 8 )
- Try save (5)
- 3 Turnovers (12)
= 25 points extra

R7 v Eels = 81 points
- Try ( 8 )
- In that try he got 2 tackle breaks (6)
- 2 Try saves (10)
- LB (4)
= 28 points extra

R8 v Titans = 67 points
- Try save (5)
- Try assist (5)
- 3 Turnovers (12)
= 22 points extra

I mean if he gets these sort of non-base stats on the regular, then great, but it could easily just be a purple patch and he may regress to a 45-50 point player that you'll look to get rid of after Round 13

I hadn't realised CHT was named this week. Pleased I am staying away from Walsh now. Could be the next SOS.

Even if he ends up at wing or in the centers, he will lose his kick meters that were most of his appeal.

Any advice for my team mate?

Pretty rugged return to the NRL last week for Chambers v Storm not any easier this week v Panthers.

"Brown suggested that Harris-Tavita will slot straight back into the halfback role as he was locked into that position before his injury.

“Chanel was our starting halfback at the start of the year, so I would expect him to be our starting halfback now, if he’s fit and able,” Brown said."

That’s the article yet I’ve been blasted for talking about it and for asking for some insight into my team...... unbelievable!

This means I have to reassess now hence I asked for some advice yet got blasted instead!.......

Brailey
Haas Watson Alvaro
CHN Fifita
Cleary Schuster
Peachey Bird
Teddy Simonsson Laurie

Macca Angus S. Walker Simpkin
Uto Hampton Pap Roberts

Uto peaking, better to trade him to someone that makes money leading into R13. Hampton gone too long to hold. Alvaro also peaking, getting less minutes with McGuire getting huge minutes. MID3 is the biggest weakness (has been every round from memory).

Looking at team structure and reserves, you are better off playing Angus at MID3, Walker at HLF2, Schuster 14. Then you have edge cover and mid cover this week, without needing to play Alvaro.

Trade outs should be Alvaro and Hampton this week. Lots of potential trade ins this week, and all seem to have some level of risk.

My theory is that if you are going to take some level of risk, you might as well also grab the risk with the greatest potential upside, why I am grabbing Starling this week.

I think Kodi might be the one on the move. Can read it multiple ways.

“We’ve got a few options there we can look at, with where people can play, who plays and what suits the team,” Brown said.
“Obviously Reece is only a young player, he’s only 18, so managing Reece is going to be important throughout the year.
“So we’ve got about half a dozen plans, but we haven’t really worried too much about it, we’ve let them all train today and Reece can obviously play at 6 and 1, so he trained in different spots and Chanel trained at 7 and 6. There are a number of things we can look at there.

Kodi was electric first half last week and just re-signed so I think he stays in the halves as they hold him in high regard.

Should I just get Walsh in anyway and pray for the best?

How good will that -16 BreakEven be in round 12 when you've just had 3 sub 25 scores in a row and you are bleeding cash.

O Sullivan and Hampton to Douehi and SCrichton good trades?

Playing 80 on an edge he's going to get huge scores, 40s likely his floor
