I think you will regret not grabbing Walsh this week come round 17when he is likely to be close to $700k and putting up keeper level scores

I am trading Papy to Walsh this week.

Don't have Beans


Actually have 20 green dots as it stands.

Yeah that would be my trade this week as well

Seems like he hasn't done anything too horrible then @MTB. So fucking keen for the next few weeks of rugby league. Players vying for origin spots this weekend, origin team announcements end of the round, judiciary early next week + will injured guys like Munster and Grant make it in time. It is very different and I wish they hadn't made the rules half way through the season (or at least so suddenly ffs) but as someone who still loves watching the game but doesn't follow one team - it's going to be fucking exciting!

With the Papz news, think I'll just go Papz to iPap and hope he gets through Round 12 haha.

(In no order)
Tino, Welch, Arrow, MoFo, Hess, Flegler, Napa, Lui, Horse, Wallace, Ofa?

Of that list I imagine it most likely

8. Welch
10. Tino
13. Arrow
14. Utility
15. Su’a
16. Other
17. Other

Yeah that's the thing. I had Mofo for another prop, so it's a toss us between Fleg and 4 others for the last spot. I think Lockyer's inclusion in his 'draft team' is enough for me to stay away this week. Also, I know playing matchups is against the law here but middle forwards generally don't seem to score well against the storm

I am struggling to find any more keeper level players that are worth bringing in for round 13. May end up saving some trades next week, play with 12-13 first bye and start getting set up for round 17.

Already have a number of cheaper players for 17 that others won't have and cash generation from bringing in guys like Hynes, Walsh, Starling, Ramsey.

Likely have a couple less players than others in 13, but should have a few more for 17 than most, with trades up my sleeve as well for the run home.

Disagree here. Even though my team is ranked 13k, feel like I've made some good decisions including getting Walsh after a week when he looked Ponga-like on debut! But now he's priced around 35? Doesn't play round 13, could be rested some weeks and has just scored 3 tries in his last 3 weeks. We've seen with Sam Walker what can happen after a few weeks in first grade.

Got Hynes in last week and thought he was the better trade in (I know LB mentioned he's already got him). But we thought Hynes was going to get around 4 weeks with relatively soft opponents and most importantly he played Round 13, so trading him out after Round 14 made sense too.

Trade Hynes and Burton in last week, got Walsh in early and have had Captain Cleary since Round 1...yet still ranked 13k lol. Gotta love fantasy NRL.

I think most will have 20-26 across the 2 bye rounds. I'll personally be aiming for around 30 hoping to get a jump

yeah good point, hardly anyone has brought in those guys

Don't think I can trade Crichton. Every chance now he could play 17 if NSW pull it off.

R13 is basically where we find out how many people focus on H2H. Hoping it’s a lot - I don’t care how artificial my rank rise is

Not a lot of talk of Jahrome Hughes in here.

Will be bringing him in.

All attack will go through him and up against the Broncos.

Round 13 keeper 

Lock it in Eddie.

Hunt will play Origin.

Pretty sure Matt is saying he has R17 PODs *in addition to* Walsh/Beans etc

Also I'm pretty sure Matt got on those guys earlier than most.

Hmmm well I’d rather not have Hunt

Would be surprised if many here have more than 2 of them

Decided that the extra points a trade in makes over Walker this week doesn't offset the risk of a 1 week suspension ruining my planning. Will hold this week and burn 3 next week

I had him locked in last week as a trade for Paps before he got ruled out.

I like him as an option but got to pay a premium price and I prefer to target cheaper options like the Fog right now.

I think you might as well hold Alvaro for the R13 points, but it definitely looks like Simpkin is on the outer so if you're going to trade anyone it might as well be him. I know you need a MID, so are you looking at Thompson with R17 in mind? Or just looking at this week? If you're happy with your R13 numbers then the trade itself, in a vacuum, is a good one.

I’m not too worried re round 13 I do not have traded to waste on it, I’m fine with the 10-11 guys I have.

But yeah Thompson I would hold from here on out.
