Some of those top teams are so stacked that they'll still have a really strong side even with 3 or 4 red dots

Need about 7 or 8 injuries to help anyone with a heap of trades

Biggest learning from this year is that saving trades hinders more than helps. No matter how much you hear the end of year carnage line it probably doesn’t effect teams that much when it’s the last fortnight it probably happens

Autofill - Hunt and Hynes out will be my last two trades. One has to be a centre to cover Crichton this week Cleary, AFB and Moses still sitting in the wings.

Welch looks like he’d make a great Willy Wonka

762 for me.

748 here. Went from 1100 to 2600.. played with 14 and talked myself out of Fog to Trindall last minute.

Absolute nightmare of a round. Bring on TL.

Ouch mate.  Sorry about saying hold the trade when you could have gotten Turbo.

Tempting now just to try and bloody get him truthfully.

Strategic advice from Wolfy yesterday? I remember thanking you for your vote of approval to skip the trindall to fog trade as well!!

Sorry mate.  I think your situation was quite different to my own from memory and at that stage I don't think we thought Fog would be fighting it out with Sexton.  I never dreamed Trindall would score what he did either.

I never have any intentions of giving dud advice on purpose.

Really? Wow after last year when I blew my all trades and once found myself with just 13 fit players in a round I took the lesson and tried conserving mine this year.

I can trade Hunt to anyone, I can trade out underperformers and I have the trades to get Cleary back. Probably hindered me this week with a lot of crap scores from people I didn't pull the trigger on like Hynes but otherwise I'm still in the top 1000 and I feel good knowing I have the trades to cover chaos that others won't.

I dunno about this

For every max trade success there's probably a few failures and a few more yet to come.

There's guys right at the top with trades spare too.

Hey when this place had someone rage quit over Captain Cleary, wonder if they've found that things have evened out now. Your captaincy choice absolutely matters now and isn't a no brainer.

I lost about 200 ranks even though I own Turbo simply because I didn't C him. He's up against the Storm this week so it's not a guarantee he's the best option this week either.

Trading open.

Can go Hunt to Cleary in one trade, woo. Hope he's back this week.

Someone in my league is only 241 points ahead of me and 1356 ranks ahead of me (rank 947)... Crazy!

That's how you win the comp

Phase 1 - blow all your trades early bringing in guys who score 10 tries in 7 weeks.

Phase 2 - avoid any injury carnage in the last month of the comp after using your last trade

Or better yet go for the guy that scores 10 tries in 4 weeks (as well as 7TA's, 12LBA's, 33TB's etc)

Time to update the eliminator

It's ultimately about making good trades at the right time.
The more good trades you make, generally the less trades you need to make (because the players you traded in are performing well).

Easy said than done.

I think what someone nailed it when they said; if you would've had them to start the season, then they're probably worth grabbing later on
(Looking at you: Tommy Turbo, CHN)

Shop's open, aaaand I'm 10k short of the trades I'd hoped to make.

I've got 23k spare I'll send it your way

Can go Hynes > Cleary with the 1 trade and 40K spare.... Wonder when Pappy will take back the 1 and if Hughes gets rested from his calf will Hynes go into half.. although wouldn't really matter as Cleary should outscore him no matter what.

Finished 2nd overall in league 51 and 10th in H2H. What an absolute stitch up.

Oh good. Shop is open.

Now I can spend the next few days imagining who I would trade all my stinky players to if I had any self control and had trades left

I hate Jayden Brailey. He smells so bad

Sorry mate was just having a laugh - always appreciate your thoughts!

FWIW: I'd still do it again
