Was the plan to always trade out Schuster even though he's a 50 average DPP who's likely back next week?

Plan was always CHN rather than Schuster, but CHN now has a -2 breakeven and makes another 90k with 3x 45s where Schuster is probably at his peak

How many trades that leave you with ?

17 left after 4 this week

Massive moves. With 300k left are you not tempted to hold Schuster and pass on Ramsey? Just use Simpkin as one of your three trades? As a one to one trade, Schuster to Ramsey seems very unappealing. I can't see you getting more than a handful of points from Ramsey this week and you could be very regretful if Schuster is back next week doing sexy things.

Tempted yes but I need a WFB this week or next week for 2 purposes. Firstly it lets me trade out Reimis before he starts losing cash. Second if Teddy looks like getting rested I can hold Reimis and still have 17 players

The cash left over will allow me to grab SJ and Tohu next week as I start collecting round 17 guns

EDIT: My squad is now top heavy as well which has me with a very strong 18/19

Assuming Cleary and Haas back up it leaves someone like Koro/Fog/McCullough at 18 with Walker at 19. Holding Schuster probably has him as 18th man going forward as I doubt he outscores those guys on a weekly basis

weigh in on the community team trade discussion - https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1674-rd-13-discussion#528274

Saw an earlier question about bye round player lockouts. Not sure if it was answered but on the nrl fantasy podcast they said it's a rolling lockout so you have until the last game.

In order of preference for trade in this week?

Cheese
Macca
Mahoney
Hunt?

Mahoney to close to being played during SOO. Cheese will keep getting minutes over next 5 weeks. Sound about right?

Does Ponga out mean Mahoney in?

Trying to plan what to do after the first bye is tough. Who is a keeper and who is expendable isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Tino, Lodge, Watson, Momo, Hynes, Laurie, May are probably gonna get cut heading towards the second bye. 

Brailey, Burton, TPJ, Fog probably stay all year

Tough one and really just a gut call. I've had cheese and he's a bit of a rollercoaster. Tbh I think he keeps getting mins all year as Storm want to keep him, and well, he's just a good footy player. Problem is Bellamy can rest him (eg just give him 40 mins) at any time.

Way too many question marks around Cheese

Brimson in and Hess 18th man?

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...)

Yeah. Was hoping for the 30 last week but will probably be this week indeed lol. I don't mind the Suaali in personally.

Holmes FB, Feldt wing, Brimson #14

QLD have confirmed that Mahoney has been released back to the Eels.

13 players pre trades

10 here despite me thinking I had 13. Livid

Now is when I start playing stupid and start dropping Haas for TPJ or Leilua and shit like that

My only clear path to hynes is trade him for turbo or trading out sualii / Kelly before they done there jobs as cows that or get him in instead of burton for schuster logic for the turbo trade is I got him first week back he will probably start dropping in price I stand to gain money from hynes and will become pap in an easy trade in coming rounds am I going all sorts of sideways or what ?

The more I look at it, the more I think I'll just hold trades. No cheapies that appeal to me, and while it'd be nice to grab guns, there are others like Fifita/Harris/etc I'd prefer to grab in the coming weeks.

So.... Take the gamble on Gamble or put it all on Red and get Roberts?

Edit. This is purely a filler. I was $30k short on the 1 trade i wanted....

Hynes to the Sharks was unexpected, I mainly just feel for Kennedy-
He really couldn’t have done any more this season and looked like the only one whose position was safe.

Speaking of curveballs, did NOT see Koro as 18th man for NSW so only playing with 16 this week after I planned around a full contingent. I was so close to bringing in Macca over him too, how annoying! Hopefully still a leg up on the competition to gain some ranks. Definitely going to run out of trades at the back end though, but some short sighted glory is better than barely moving rank all season

Looking at just 1 trade Too to Mahoney. Gives me 13 this round with 14 trades left.
