Are you going to put Suaalli at CTR to loop Peachey/Bird? That's what I'm doing

Ponga has played once since Rd9, so its not surprising noone really has him yet, even if he is on everyone's radar

I am torn on bringing him in this week.
It would be for Matterson/Watson and leave me with 3 trades. So normally I would't trade a green dot, but but I'll play short a WFB if I don't bring one in.

And then basically won't be able to trade again except to bring Cleary in

team is

Cook
Thompson Taumalolo Haas
Matterson Fifita
Sj Moses
Burton Bird
Tedesco Trbo Walsh

Crichton Schuster Watson Tohu
Verrills Peachey Roberts Suaalii

I'm set on trading Ponga in (over Turbo and Papz) but considering he'd be playing 4 days after Origin (if he does) and it'd be against the Storm, I'm going to prioritise Haas this week and then Ponga in next week. If you're going to be one short maybe just risk it on bringing Ponga in now?

May be a bit short sighted if it’s only 2 weeks though?

Although I do note that Schouup is priced the same, DPP and a guaranteed starter for the year. Won’t score as well but is not going to become a red dot

Yeah but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bowen is the one to come in

At the moment I am looping Verrills/Peachey. But depending on who backs up, I might have to play both anyway

If you can do something of value with Peachey I'd want him gone before Matterson. Seems to be back to a 20-30 minute bench role which you won't want anywhere near your team except emergencies. Leaves Roberts as centre coverage and Crichton/Tohu MID

"back to a 30 minute bench role"
He has done that once in a row. Trading someone out after 1 low score is the same as trading someone in because they just scored a hattrick
(ie if its Garrick or Johnston you have just made a genius move)

I can't trade Peachey straight to Ponga. Plus if I do get Cleary back, Burton will be one of those to make way - so if I ditch Peachey would then need to play James Roberts or whatever cashout cheapie comes in as part of project "regain Cleary"

I’m trading Peachey to Fifita and running Burton and Olam for the run in.
Even when Cleary comes back Burton still goes to CTR and is a green dot in a good team.

I think losing Peachey to gain Fifita is a safer move than flicking him to another CTR

Rank of 3363, 7 trades left & 718k ITB. Keen to get thoughts on what people would do with this team - want to try be aggressive/poddy.

Koroisau
Taupau AFB Crichton
iPap Matto
Moses SJ
Graham Burton
Teddy Walsh Hynes

Hunt Watson Peachey Brailey
Verrils SWalker Savage SST

Also have no idea who to captain this week. Will probably be DFifita if I trade him in.

Burton needs tries or bulk kick metres to score well.

I'd genuinely rather have Peachey if Burton is playing centre in real life.

Fair enough. 

Do we actually know why Peachey was given 30 minutes less than his average game time?

It couldn’t have been to rest him, they had the bye the week after?

Walker to Ponga and SST to Fifita eats up all of your bank but that’s what I’d be doing. Damn strong team,makes me sad about my predicament lol

Same here, Haas this week, Ponga next week, Cleary rd 20

Thinking just 1 trade this week Lodge>Haas leaving 6 trades and 330k ITB. Do I have correct bench etc?

My thinking too. I have Haas already, so I'm bringing Mahoney in this week, then Ponga, then Cleary (though I'm tempted to risk waiting til he's got through 1 game unscathed).

Team after trade this week - 7 trades remaining and 195k ITB

Mahoney
Crichton, Lolo, Haas
iPap, Fifita
Moses, SJ
Bird, Avo
Trbo, Tedesco, Hynes

Fog, Schuster, Walsh, Tohu
Brailey, CHN, Verrills Savage

Awesome, thanks mate. What's your rank atm? My rank's been lurking around 5-8k and only got to 3363 after Round 17 after (trying) to go hard during the byes haha.
Happy to eat up most of the bank - if I bring in Haas and DFifita, it leaves 200k to bring in Ponga next week.

This is what I've planned unless a poddy option pops up haha. Haas and Dfifita this week, Ponga next week. I'll probably wait till Round 21 for Cleary just to see if he is showing any affects of the injury or hoping he has a quiet game against the Storm in his first game back.

SoylentGreen wrote:

Why? Peachey is in CTR loop with Bird. Watson and Liddle loop with 4th bench if Tohu doesn't play

I think I'm going to keep both. Peachey could come good as you say and his mid dpp could come in handy. Burton should score well the next couple of weeks and I don't have the trades to trade him out and as LB says he'll be a green dot in a good team. I'll play whichever one I think will score more alongside Averillo and the other can stay in the emergencies. I'm trading out Bird instead. I envisage the Dragon's doing a lot a standing under their own goal posts and he will miss at least one game. Bird becomes Fifita.

The hard part for me (and most I suppose) is the Cleary re-purchase with him on track for a rd20 return. If there was no news or bad news for him I was happy to run without for a few weeks, but not six. I can do Hynes to cashout and Fogarty to Cleary in rd 20. The tricky part is I won't have a lot of leeway on price for my cashout and numbers this week for WFB make the timing tricky. I absolutely want Fifita this week. Fogarty's price should go up, but a cashout like Savage or Dunster will go up too, and Hynes is likely to go down. Really need the info on whether Teddy is playing or not.

Team for this week after the Bird to Fifita trade will look something like:

Koro
Haas Lolo AFB
Fifita CHN
DCE SJ
Burton Averillo
Teddy Hynes Walsh

Brailey Fogarty Peachey Matterson

Verills Crichton Moses Turbo

I'm happy with that if Teddy plays. Obviously if Crichton or Moses plays they come in. If no Teddy I'll either play one short, or might have to reverse Bird to Fifita and go Bird to cashout WFB and do my upgrades later, but I think I'd rather have Fifita this week and play short rather than get that 20's score from the WFB and possibly playing Verills. If Teddy plays then in the next couple of weeks Hynes to cashout, and then Fogarty to Cleary. Leaves

Koro
Haas Lolo AFB
Fifita CHN
Cleary DCE
Burton Averillo
Teddy Turbo Walsh

SJ Brailey Crichton Moses

Matterson Peachey Verills WFB cash out.

I wanted Ponga but I think Cleary will be a bigger upgrade.

My guess, and it’s purely guesswork, they left him on the bench because on field they were killing it and didn’t need to bring anyone off for a rest.
I don’t see it happening often.
