I am very likely to trade him in as one of my sideways bye round trades and hope he goes well for 4 rounds.  

A bit of Hughs to Api action is the only way I can get RFM and Aitkin on. Best of luck this is a really good round to climb and maintain

Done 3 this week and have 11 left - plus 4 extra

(Need everyone to be a home run from here on out)

Hey mate,
I know this doesn’t answer your question, but ynots site says the top 1,000 have an average of 15 trades left before trades this round.

Haha, I was too. I don't think I can do it. Maybe. But I need to figure out something, trading Ilias makes sense but leaves no HLF cover. Of course I have Burton and Hynes, but they are needed where they are now and don't help with a late out. Sexton keeps tempting me too..

I think Avo is a strong avoid folks. Scores of 9, 12, 9, 9, 22 and 19 in 80min CTR games, before last weeks 45 with two tries looks awful.

Sexton does look enticing, but think personally I am going to hold off on halves this week and buy someone next week who looks good for RD 17 and the run home

Making 3 this week to field 17 leaving me with 16 trades

This makes me very jealous. Well done mate.

All is well Pookus!  Yeah, tough to get a decent handle on the average numbers.  Max trading personally to aim for 16/17, and that only leaves me with 10 plus 4.  How many trades left mate?  

14 before trades, same as you it looks. Its a tricky number to know what to do with, 10/11 trades might be too low for R14-17 when I only have one or two round 17 players.

I'm bringing in Garrick this week.

The more I look at him the more I'm thinking Walsh is a really good buy this week.

Has got a few 40s this season and also a few 30s, so his floor looks ok.

As others have said, has scored no tries, which looks to be pretty unusual for a guy of his talent.

As soon as he goes on a run of tries his scores are going to look great and don't think he's gonna get cheaper. Going to go him over Sexton I think and look at halves next week

You also picking him up as a keeper? Seems a lot to pay for a guy in WFB as a gamble if not?

Surely Walsh just as good of a punt for a lot less cash.

Warriors also usually choose this period to go on a run, so thinking with Tohu back and Curran due back next week, this is a good time to take the punt

I have 9 players and 12 trades left at the start of the round.

Will probably make 1 or 2 trades

Yeah, with the number of trades I have left, everyone's a keeper

You'd have to go Lolo over Butcher right? He may have some lower minute games, but is locked in starter for the season and cheaper than at the start of the year. Eventually he must have a breakout game where he gets a few line breaks and a try.

Looking at RFM, Lolo and Garrick as trade ins this week.

With an average of 50 the last 2 years, Garrick is an underpriced gun at fullback at $614k.

Gives me 14 playing this week.

I predict Garrick will show he's worth the extra $$$ over Walsh this week

I want to hold Nanai but I just realised the week after Origin, Cowboys play Friday night.  Depending on his role off the bench, he may not play round 14.

Was looking at trading Yeo but Panthers play Sunday, so you'd think he'd back up.

Thinking of keeping Scrit and selling Ponga instead

I have 16 trades and 11 green dots to begin this round. Was only going to make two trades but might use all four because fuck it.

If I was to guess, I'd say he's one that would almost certainly back up (unless injured), especially as he's only coming off the bench. Young guys are always hyped to play again straight away.

Yeah I guess. Probably only plays 25-30 minutes anyway.

Any recent updates on how Papy is travelling?

(aware nrl.com says round 15)

Thoughts on these trades:
Haas out - T. Harris in
TPJ out - A. Crichton in
Ilias out - Sexton in
S. Crichton out - Campbell in

Will give me 16 for the week but 17 in thje unlikely event that Rushton flukes his way into the Raiders 17

Robson
T. Harris, Tapine, Butcher
Elliott, Fermor
Burton, Sexton
Tago, Koula
May, Campbell, Kiraz

Starling, A. Crichton, M. King, Rushton
Cleary, Hynes, Penisini, Cotter

Thanks.
