Interesting decisions this week.

Probably bring in Horse or NAS to pair with Haas in the front row

Bula not scoring as well in this comp as in Fantasy, but still likely to get him anyway as a source of cash

Also toying with SJ to Moses. Sj possibly past hi speak, and Moses good for the byes

Anyone else worth considering?

Probably holding Cook - not sure who to trade too.
Could do Cook to Moses instead of SJ (via Boyd)
Don't have Lemuelu yet - is he a must have at CTR?
No Fifita either, probably need a plan to bring him in

I wouldn't bust your team to get Lemuelu personally, missed that 80k price rise last week and coming of a double, if u have him yeah hes great for the bye if you have him but dont think hes a must. Ill probabably jump on Bula to free up some cash. The Cook/SJ to Moses seems sideways pending Cook origin of course. If he was a certainty yeah trade but teams are still so up in the air. I have recommended not getting Moses in this format before and it bit me on the ass. Horse and NAS interest me but still unsure, sticky factor and Nelson (no 13) just worries me with injuries and suspensions. My golden rule is if unsure dont trade but thats bitten me on the ass as well. You are going well Milchy

If I had SJ, I'd be holding him to at least Rd13 (noting that personally I'm still seething that I was at a crossroads before the first price rise and stupidly went BHunt instead of SJ).

Cook will play Origin I think but the hooker options outside of the Origin boys are pretty uninspiring.
As a Grant/Boyd owner, I'll need to think of something there.

Also tempted with Lemuelu - feels like that bloke you think has bad job security but is more likely one of the first picked by the coach each week....

My area of concern is WFB and trying to offset bloody Latrell carving up each week - just can't justify getting him now, particularly with his upcoming workload and chances of being rested.

I think Bula is a good cash grab. He passes the eye test IRL, so I'm hoping that his scoring will improve.

Buying either Horse or NAS is a good idea IMO.
.

Yeah agreed, Horse or NAS are both good options. Here I am deciding whether I should play Keppie this week or trade lol.

Is Murray a hold? Could do Murray (high BE) and Sipley (bad trade) to Lemmy and NAS/Horse

Still setting up my bye rounds, so made 2 trades

Cam Murray > Horsburgh
Warbrick > Garrick

Got 12 for Rd13 atm best case scenario

I left Perham in NPRs this week after playing him last week.

Hope that doesn't hurt too much

This is my side. Still got a bit to do before Rd13.

who would you play as last reserve...gilbert, ford or lemuelu. cheers.

Was a bit of fun being overall first here for a while. Know it wouldn't last and so it will come to happen this week I'd think.

Did you also fall foul of the Nicho (C) mate!? I was contemplating looping Cleary, but Sloan on my bench 2moro put me off.

What a shit show this week. At magic round so missed the quick turnaround to loop cleary. Take the 90 all day with no nightmare AE. Bula or Chee Kam would of been the biggest risks. Also had the R on Keppie somehow which i think happened from my last minute Stefano to Horse trade where i had him as a R and moved Horse straight into 13 as he was first up. After making some ground last few weeks going to give it all back this week. White Lightning is going to put 200 on me in our H2H, one of the few who put the straight C on Cleary. Well played, should get you very close to the top.

Its funny looking at the projected scores for everyone go from 1000+ to 800s after Hynes played

Except WL who is still projected at 1010, going to have a killer round

i've been very lucky this round as the 2 players who have been hurting me hynes & latrell scoring under 40 but it's just a blip they'll both go back pumping out 70+ next week. the reason i don't have hynes is i own dce who has been scoring very well even though manly are struggling. just on the dolphins what a defensive effort they really dominated the sharks it reminded me of rd. 1 against the roosters.

Yeah got Nicho (C) and Cook just not performing.
Making a late round comeback but I reckon White Lightning is a shout for first this week.

Anyone got any idea how to deal with Cook? I've only got $20k ITB.
Can bring Boyd to HKR.

923 for me this week. With Nicho (c). Having no AFB has killed me the past 3-4 weeks!
