Might just go Cook again

Burton?…..

There’s 6 weeks left in the season and injuries will come

It’s tempting but you are right, save those 4 trades unless needed. They should switch it back to 2 trades per round.

Wonder what Blocker and his ilk think of that one

I don’t think even Blocker would be stupid enough to do something that silly AND film it for the interweb.

Checks whether he’s playing the Titans again….

Sees he’s playing the Knights… its not a bad shout

I’ve advocated the hold trades angle but I wont lie it’s pretty tempting to do something like this and say stuff it all for the year and watch more Roosters games

Ponga > Mbye
Moses > Teddy
Hughes > Angus
RFM > Butcher

Think I'm going the blaze of glory approach this year with my last 4 trades. In my position I'd rather make tangible upgrades and pray than sit on trades waiting for injury to strike. Hopefully riding the boys home into the top 1k

Paps > Teddy
Barnett > Haas
Mam > Palasia
RFM > Fifita

Final team is:

Grant
Haas Klemmer Crichton
Ipap Fifita
Cleary DCE
Burton Gagai
Hynes Teddy Mitchell

Robson Moses Hunt Hughes
Palasia Kennedy DSF Wishart

Don’t know if the 4th one is worth it

Whelp now you've got me looking at him as a POD captain, up against the Knights we could see the elusive BurTonne

Yeah not nescessary at all. Just playing. Although Butcher should go 50+ most weeks and does have the DPP

Can the Warriors release Walsh to the Storm for the rest of the season so I can save a trade.

Definitely thinking about butcher here - handy dual and guaranteed 80 mins per week with a good ppm

I'm buying Butcher because selling Max to him funds Ramsey to Teddy

Feels especially unlikely this week and would be a big gamble choosing to hold Walsh another week (pending what happens with team lists)

Holzman wrote:TU Koula to Aitken
TD Edwards to Teddy

or comment do both. Would mean going down to 3 trades and having a 18-21 of Booth Mbye Trindal and 220k player

Thanks everyone for the votes and all the help this year.

really appreciate it, finish top of league in my first year of playing and couldn't have done it without everyone on here.

Have brought in Teddy and team looks really good, the other top guys also have him so getting him in will nullify if he has a huge week in finals.

sounds reasonable to me

Butcher seems a pretty good bet.. ?

I'm going Ponga and Hosking to Butcher and someone else. Who would you buy at 288k or less? Position not particularly important.

Thinking

Tohu, Savage, Pole out

Murray, Butcher, Mbye in

Leaves me with 3 trades, 50k and

Grant
Murray, Haas, Carrigan
IPap, Crichton
Cleary, DCE
Burton, Aitken
Teddy, Latrell, Hynes

Robson, Elliott, Butcher, Douehi

Booth and a bunch of rubbish.

Trading Tohu when he's healthy seems odd, but Butcher will likely give the same points while freeing up 100k to get Murray.

Other option is to just do Pole and Savage to get Fifita.

Looking McInness or Lolo to Butcher - too sideways?
