All the banners below

Spoiler:

God damn that banners gonna take some scrolling past to get to the discussion on each page


Bird out last week, Peachy out this week, sold Avo 2 weeks ago. Someone is having me on.



Paper will never beat rock when it comes to the long game.

So about the banners being so late, I'd like to apologise

Spoiler:

A. Brailey to Cook and hold CHN.

B. Sell CHN to Papali’i and hold Brailey

C. Hold both CHN and Brailey


First trade is Hynes to Ponga.

Or I can wait for Cleary hhhmmmm but I don’t think he plays this week.

Hynes is a tricky one. Hughes is rumoured to miss this week with a minor hamstring issue or something? Cooper Johns might come in I suppose and Pap still fucks Hynes.

I was thinking Brailey to Ponga and lock that in first up Thurs, but with only 3 trades left, Brailey might have better job security beyond this week than Hynes and CHN.

You've been chasing Papalii for a few weeks, so maybe Hynes to Ponga and CHN to Papalii is the more going with your gut play.

Thanks mate yep getting Ponga and Papali’i would be massive moves.

Just means I’m left with Macca, Brailey and Verrills as hookers but hookers haven’t been scoring as big this year anyway.

Call me a mad man but I’m thinking of throwing the C on Ponga. I just think he could score a 70 or 80 this week I have a feeling he will score 2 tries.

Cleary this week or next week is the big question I guess

SJ > Ponga
Fog > Grant

Leaves enough cash to do Hynes to Cleary next week as long as Hynes can score 20+

Or I can get rid of Hynes and Fog and guarantee SJ to Cleary next week.

yeah, if you've got the trades and money, getting Cleary in is a no-brainer if he plays. 

would love to get some certainty at the 24 hour cut-off, but I suspect we won't know for sure until an hour before kick-off.

Are you playing Hynes in your 17 this week?

Yeah Hynes will be in the 17 this week so I’m leaning towards him and Fog going this week.

I can do Fog to Ponga early doors, then can hold the Hynes to Cleary/Grant as that gives me the time to see what happens with Cleary?

Then use SJ to get the other next week?

Yeah, I think we saw from last week that Hynes is on borrowed time.  The only way he plays decent minutes is if Hughes is out and he switches to half.  He's even lost the goal kicking when he and Papy are on the field at the same time.

I still own Pappy so the ideal scenario is Hynes moving to 14 or something like that this week.

Would be like gaining Ponga, Pappy and Cleary/Grant in the one week which would be nice

Couple of Q's

Who to make way first out of Hynes and CHN?

If holding CHN, worth starting Blore and leaving CHN 18th man?

I think perhaps Hynes can go first. Blores 53 last week was pretty base stat driven so you’d think it’s something he can replicate with 80 minutes a week.

So yeah I’d play him over CHN if I had either

The one thing I can see in Hynes favour is the DPP for cover for the last few weeks. Pretty meaningless if he's on the bench most of the game though. Bellamy seems commited to keep him somewhere in the 17 at least.

I'm starting to think maybe a solid combo of Murray and Ponga is a safer way to go than a Blore and Cleary route. Thinking the former combo may score more, especially if Cleary doesn't play.

Regarding the cheese.

I’ll be holding. Will float in and out of my 17. Seems a bit luxurious getting rid of him. He will get me 40s thatll do.

Who do you reckon gets the 17 jumper this week? Cheese, CHN, Burton, Nicho, Verrils.

Unfortunately (not that unfortunately) I don’t have a red dot to loop

For everyone thinking of trading CHN out just remember he was a keeper two weeks ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s included on game day either.

If he’s back next week you’ll regret the knee jerk reaction with slim trades left, unless he’s upgraded to an out and out gun.

I'll hold CHN and see if he gets some decent PPM.

As someone pointed out they're carrying a bench hooker and a winger, should be decent minutes on offer.
