. Hello my brother, yeah that’s me - getting nose bleeds up here and feel way way out of my depth, not long and I will come crashing back down I actually thought it would be this week with Sexton and Tago stinking it up, I’m just aiming to get into L1 if I can to count it a successful season.

I thought so! Enjoy the ride, if you are still there at this stage I think careful management from here and you should be able to bring it home. I'll be cheering for you!

Look out for the 'Curse of L1' though....since I made the cut at the start of last year, the two following seasons have been my worst in many years......(insert spooky gif here)

Maybe it's just a hangover of so many centre injuries the past few years, but I'm reluctant to play centre roulette and trade him to a Manu/Graham/Ramien/Lomax/Mulitalo/Garner type who might average 3-4 points more than him if I'm lucky.

I'm selling as have Burton Aitken Scrit May Koula and need to get moving on Rd 17 numbers and final 17 and not waiting around now on Tago now Knights and Warriors game gone

So many players on the shopping list for the next couple of weeks:

- iPap getting cheaper
- Grant a 120k discount on where he was in round 10
- Frizell should lose a bit of coin
- Curran and Twal likewise
- Doueihi interesting if he gets a starting spot back soon
- Fog could be a sneaky little POD
- Hughes for a $161k discount on his peak price this year, hard to pass up
- Ponga under 500k could be a steal

Yeah I think fair enough to sell in that case. For me it's just Burton, Scrit (needed at WFB) and Koula.

I know couple games played carrying injury lately but score without tries since good first 2 opening games

39 45 41 34 27 also 1 try game scores of 35 46

He can audition for inclusion by Rd 17 with his game against Manly next with BE still hovering around 50

Early thoughts are it's time to spend my bank for a few decent upgrades:

Hunt -> Grant
Crichton -> Pap
Peoples -> Kennedy
and maybe Tago -> Garner/Bird

Grant still has possibly 20k to lose and can be picked up Rd 18
If Scrit then he's borderline keeper. Pap if Papen then I want to see 1 game back. If Ipap he's on his highest BE all season of around 90 so no way worth getting a week before 17
I have 12 trades left before the extra 4 so no interest in Bird or Garner at their prices for final 17 but I do have a glut of CTR compared to you so can see more of appeal for you

Would rather prioritise points over gambling on 20k at this stage of the season re: Grant.

You're probably right that SCrit to Pappy can wait another week if he's named, I might be rushing that one.

The Garner/Bird trade I'm borderline on. Garner does have a career average of 49.4 in the second row when playing 80 and should have pretty solid JS with Lucy gone now you'd think, which is swaying me.

Garner last 4 games is reasonable sample size. 58(try), 38, 42(try but moved to centre early), 38 and priced now at 40 but is available at CTR so could be set and forget high floor CTR. I will have to consider his value as Rd 17 number. Maybe time to move on one of my CTRs

no idea what i'm going to do, stashed 500k expecting to make some big moves this week, but between Koula, Mam, RFM, Savage & Kiraz, all my trade-out options are making money hand over fist, suppose i could lose Harris, but he's got the same role he had when he was averaging 60+ last year, i have to think he comes good soon.

Think I will do the Kennedy-cash-out before this round but might wait another week on Papenhuyzen.

Anyone gonna set up a rep-round fantasy comp?

Would be cool to pick a team out of NSW, QLD, NZ, Tonga, Samoa, Cook Islands, PNG and F1J1.

Tohu + tago to Moses + Barnett

Leaves me with

Robson
Matterson, Ipap, Barnett
Angus, Elliot
Cleary, DCE
Aitken, penisini
Hynnes, Savage, May

Mahoney, Mking, Moses, Mam

Jing, koula, thompson, volkman

Thx Brother, DK has a real show of taking line honours this year I reckon and will be cheering him on !!!

Seems ridiculous to even post trades before the rep weekend, but here's my thoughts 7 days too early

Sexton -> Hughes
Clark -> Barnett
Peoples/Vailea -> Kennedy

That assumes everyone gets thru everything unscathed.

Then another 3 or 4 trades at R17

If any of the players in the top 100 want any specific analysis done on their opponents, happy to help. Be great to contribute in any way.

I call first on ynot as my cornerman!
Cheers, slug.

Thoughts on this please?

Tohu and Butcher to Carrigan and hughes

Who do we think averages more for the remainder of the season?

TU: DCE
TD: Murray

Trading out Tago feels like a wasted trade TBH. Not sure anyone else will do much better at CTR.

Im running low on trades, so he is there for the year. DPP is handy too.

I can go Tago to....... anyone IPap and under in price. So much choice, so much variety. A R17 gun, an Origin playing gun while the opportunity is there, strengthen a weak position? My CTR's would be Aitken and May with Koula as cover. Hmmm maybe I should buy Burton back.

Oh well can only wait until rep round is over to decide for sure. I'd say Matterson, Moses and Papenhuyzen are all on the shopping list though.
