Personally the only players I'm considering trading out is Turbo. I'd say he's going to be my path to Fifita, using CHN to build cash then go Alvaro to Fifi at some stage.

Will find it tough going much above his current average mate, won't get the sideways TBs and likely to miss a few extra tackles

Fuck some of you lot have been kissed on the dick this year.

No kidding hey. All my origin bye players are hanging around the dressing sheds with jumpers with big numbers like 18 on their back, massaging and geeing up their Origin teammates, while some other fuckers are getting their guy out of a suspension and onto the field. Jammy bastards, you tell em LB

no trades this week. Going with 13;

Brailey
Watson, Papalii, N.Brown
Matterson, TPJ
Fogarty, A.Kelly
Bird, Roberts
Hynes(C), Laurie, Crichton

If they all score the same as last week = 758

Any news on J Campbell from the Titans? They play Saturday 3pm against the Roosters after Origin. Brimson racing the clock to be fit for origin, if he doesn't back up and Campbell gets 2 games he's worth trading in for my team. Keen to hear anyone else's thoughts on this one.

Otherwise going offa and schuster for mahoney and jsaifiti. Could go finucane instead of jsaifiti but he's cheaper and knights depleted pack, imo there's more upside with him. 3rd trade of oates (lol) to J Campbell gives me 193K itb and 15 trades AFTER my 3 this week. Rank an exemplary 10829.

Predicting 780 for my squad of 14 this weekend.

Brailey 65
Jsaifiti40 Watson 50
Flegler 40 papalii 65 matto 55
Moses 55
Burton (C) 120 momi 40
Laurie 50 hynes 60 Jcampbell 30

Mahoney 65 Peachey 50

Moving forward and pretty much ignoring round 17;

Brailey to Cook next week
Hynes to T/lolo before rnd 17 (backing Lolo to pick up his scores again)
Schuster to Fifita After 17 (if I need extra money for this, Walsh can go)

Start the run home with 9 or 10 trades;
Cook
Haas, Papalii, T/lolo
Crichton, Fifita
Cleary(C), Fogarty
Bird, Crichton
Tedesco, Turbo, Laurie/Walsh

TPJ, Harris, Matterson, Watson
N.Brown, Walsh/Laurie, Kelly, Roberts

and hang on for the ride !!

Can field 16 this week and from then on just start shaping my team for the run home focus on quite a few dpps

Bye works out perfectly to go leniu to chn without breaking the bank and a quality trade in one move

If I had to get any cheapie this week it would probably be Campbell but if it’s 1 game then it’s a waste of a trade. Suaalii is at least gonna get a few games at the very least and he’s only 34k more expensive

Which set of trades to you like better?

A: Brimson/Simpkin to Burton/May, 17 trades remaining and 13 bye players

B: Tino/Brimson/Simpkin to Hunt/Burton/Suaalii, 16 trades remaining and 13 bye players

I'm tossing up doing trade A myself. I think for you I'd prefer A.

Yeah I’m just getting gun envy. I feel like Burton/May is a very underwhelming trade list for this round when others are getting Hunt/Mahoney/Macca

I’m doing A (Walker out instead of Brimson) but my team is rooted. I’m about 10k short of being able to add Hunt as a 3rd trade

Brimson/Simpkin to Burton/Suaalii gives me 13 this week and a handcuff for Teddy if he doesn't backup (and it seems likely that he won't if he needs a needle just to play). This would leave me with 18 trades.

Those two trades give me the following (playing in bold).

Brailey
Smith, Watson, Lodge
TPJ, Schuster
Moses, Fogarty
Roberts, Bird
Crichton, Laurie, Tedesco

Mahoney, Burton, Suaalii, Haas
Cleary, Walsh, Croker, Crichton

Is it too early for a complete cashout like Hopgood? Schuster to Hopgood gives me 14 this week and 548k ITB so lets me get Fifita back in next week in (probably) 1 trade. Would anyone do that?

BUMP


Nope I don’t really but my rank sucks and I’m thinking about just going all out for this bye round and see what happens after. Current thought is Crichton and Schuster to Hunt and Mahoney leaving me this

13 trades 23k bank

Brailey
Flegler Leniu Watson
TPJ Matterson
Hunt Moses
Olam Roberts
Crichton Laurie Hynes

Mahoney
Fogarty
Stefano
Walsh

Teddy
Haas
Cleary
Harris

Thoughts anyone or have I lost the plot?

I’ll probably have to buy a WFB next week if I don’t do it this week as I will probably only have Hynes/Laurie available for selection. Will be hoping Papy is good to go to save the trade

I think I might join you actually...

Definitely need a WFB for Brimson, could grab Nofo or Edwards but they are not going to move price wise. I want a path to get Papy back and Hynes is the most obvious, if he can average 50 the next two weeks then he'll still make 100k, I may even captain him this week which strengthens the case. And most importantly I could remove myself from behind the couch.

Yep, exactly all of this. Nofo my other option but as you said, Hynes can become Pap even Turbo for me.  I'm backing him 2 or 3 more weeks starting too.  I don't want to drop To'o, but with a high BE and Origin duties, his works are may drop.  I'll hopefully pick him back up post Origin a bit cheaper.  I might captain Hynes also so I can't reverse it.

He'll probably go and put up a 30 for us this week mate

But yeah think it has to be done, there's certainly been worse trades (such as my second trade which is looking like it has to be Simpkin to either A Kelly or Suaalii...)
