As long as nothing extreme happens with team lists I'll probably be bringing Fifita in. Even a regression in number of tries will still see him score in the 50s

Who have you got? I'll swap you. He's going to lose more cash with a 50. There's no way you've been watching him closely in the games if you think he's a trade in

Not unlike Dylan Brown to have these games. In 2020 first 10 rounds of season was averaging 59. Went on to average 53 in 2020 and averaged 51 in 2021.
Amazing base without kick metres. Add Cleary's 500m KM instead of his 100m KM and there is another 13 points per game/20 points prior scoring.

Katoa coming off scores of 19 and 14....

I'm sure I could think of 10 better picks than throwing money away on Fifita

Yeah MS as a D. Fifita owner don't torture yourself brother

I might actually make no trades this week just to save some trades...ofc I want the shiny new toys but Fermor is back & the Titans have a tough game v the Eels so maybe D. Fifita will change his mindset because he'll know he'll have to raise his game.

Starling
Haas (c), Arrow, Mann
D. Fifita, Fermor
Sexton, Schneider
Tago, Penisini
Pappy, Hynes, S. Crichton

Randall, Nanai, M. King, Ilias
B. Jones, Leo, Billy Smith, Vailea

I could loop Ilias & B. Jones. Knights play the 1st game & Warriors the 2nd game

Well I have finally had a decent round.
Will definitely take 949 with C on DFifi (Wish I'd had the foresight to C Papy or Cook). Think DFifi needs to go to Cleary now.
Glad I held on to TPJ, the sort of performance I originally picked him for, hoping it is more his normal minutes moving forward.
Now where to find the cash for the DFifi to Cleary trade

Who would you buy based on value out of these guns?

Cam Murray
Dylan Brown
DCE
Cook
Papali'i
Yeo
Curran
Hunt
Moses
Grant

He’s the 15th highest averaging EDG this season, but 3 are under an injury cloud, and 1 is suspended, so I also make it exactly 10 better picks than him lol

Captained TommyTurbo the first two rounds, finally dumped him and threw the C on Papenhuyzen. Huzzah!

I'm not seeing much here.

Cook
Ipap Haas Lolo
Tuilagi Nanai
Mann Schneider
Burton Tago
Pappy Hynes Crichton

Randall Ming Jones Starling

Leo Ilias Coates Paulo.

Maybe Paulo to someone.  Koula perhaps,  but hard to know if he gets more than a week.

Nice way to bounce back

Too profligate?

I'd definitely consider the May for Aitken trade. Some other responses suggesting that you shouldn't really want to get rid of Aitken - but he's one in my team that is among the less compelling players. He's scoring OK, but not necessarily a keeper and his cash generation is pretty marginal. I see the cash generation from May being really important. Chasing cows early in the season is my main philosophy for this game. So I say go for it.

I confess... trading Ilias out before Amone was a mistake

Right, so I'm facing the same quandary that many on here will be facing. I raised cash with the plan to bring in Cleary this week. I have $463k in the bank to move Burton to Cleary in one trade.

But now I'm wondering whether I want to bring in Haas instead. That would leave me with another ~$250k to spend and upgrade elsewhere. Problem is, that uses another trade that I'm not sure I need to use right now. And if I spend my cash, I don't know how I'd then get to Cleary (relying on maturing cows in a few weeks). If I don't spend the cash, it seems like a big opportunity cost just sitting it there.

I'm sure there'll be thousands of posts on Cleary over the week, but where is everyone's mind so far?

Rough week for TheWeapons. 804 and dropped about 5000 places to 6000ish overall. Fermor out, and my halves combo of Sexton and Clifford stinking it up didn't help. Bird may be a sell if he plays 6 again this week....

884 - I didnt expect to drop ranks with that (dropped 1k ish), it seemed about par. Sitting 3,885 overall.

Issues - Amone, Sexton(?)

Thinking - I have bank to bring in Cleary for Sexton but I might wait another week. I havent looked at Sexton's b/e yet. Maybe just one trade then - Amone to someone cheap. Depending on any fires on TLT etc.

Team:

I'll be waiting another week and seeing how things go - if I don't get him in the next 3 weeks I'll be waiting until after origin
