Fantasy is the one giving it a week early.

The bonus trades should be next round - 2 weeks to make trades for the round after origin

This week is a normal round for all intents and purposes.

They did atleast follow their own written rules(for once)

I reckon Billy Smith jumps Suuali

OPEN THE SHOP!

Leniu to Verrills may be my only trade. If he's on the bench though, might hold off.

I have a serious FOMO nrlfantasy depression after not captaining Burton, trading out the Fog, and not owning Avo this round

Thankfully I’m only 2/3 of those. I still have the fog. For now anyway, might be a candidate for a sideways trade pre R17.

Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand.

Gees Tedesco has been a frustrating own this year. Sucks that he tanked his price too, because I had always intended to trade over origin otherwise.

I dont see the comparison at all, the fact u get 3 weeks price rises and then able to select lol

What's this re trades ? Giving them out early by mistake or bad forecasting ?

Is this 4 trade week intentional or just a hangover from the old mid-week origin time when there was actually another proper bye round? Seems weird / unnecessary with Sunday origin.

Dufty to warriors apparently not sure if they will end up with dwz

Sean O'Sullivan will get called back in and think him and walsh will be very good for each other.

Supercoach rules say you get 5 trades next week. They gave them after lock out this week.

Nothing too major and expect it to be rolled back. But a lot of my mates who play casually act like Supercoach is flawless

Definitely deliberate as it was in place for 2020 as well before byes were scrapped.

Like Milchy mentioned would probably be more useful after origin rather than before, but it is planned

Surely Dufty doesn't want to play reserve grade that badly

I'd honestly rather DWZ. That's how far down I think Dufty should be on our radar.

We already have Walsh as a great attacking fullback with limited defence. We don't need another.
Moving Walsh to the halves? Then you have this:

1. Dufty
6. Walsh
7. Nikorima
9. Egan

You'd struggle to find a worse spine in the comp in regards to their defense.

EDIT: Feels like a randomised team on a Rugby League simulation game and it's been set to the most difficult setting.

Teddy nnnooooooooo!

I'm not sold on the Verrils love.... do we think he's getting a big jump in minutes once he's match fit, or just a cheap r17 cash out?

He won the 2019 premiership with us, Verrills will be in the team every week and I'm banking he starts eventually. Worst case scenario he's good for 20. Not planning on trading him out anyway so a base price with job security is enough for me!

Plus, passes the eye test, even if you’re viewing with a detached retina.

Supacoach is setup for casuals, the scoring and 3 week preview are enough straight off the bat.

Flawless victory!

Walsh, Dufty, Niko in the same backline

May as well just give the opposition a 20 point headstart every game.
