Looking at a potential WFB upgrade(s) this round.  

All things being equal, how would you rank these trade outs - Walsh, CNK, Hammer?

And these trade ins - Latrell, Ponga, Marzhew?

I'd probably rate them,
Hammer
CNK
Walsh (scary not to own)

Ponga (going so well)
Mitchell
Marzhew

Depends on if you have to play them all.
Can you do CNK, Hammer to Latrell, Ponga?
Walsh is probably worth holding and he's in my NPR this week.

Thanks both. $18k short of CNK/Hammer to Latrell/Ponga.  

Here's my team for what its worth:

Grant Cook (R)
Haas Tohu L.Smith V.Fifita
Bateman Carrigan Hopgood D.Fifita (R) Preston Simbiken
Cleary Hynes Johnson (R) Moses (R)
Garrick Manu Lemu B.Smith
Tedesco CNK Walsh Hammer Samrani

I could cash out L.Smith and do Hammer to Ponga this week (as my eliminator opponent has Ponga), and then look at CNK to Latrell next week.  The only other upgrade I am considering is to Tohu at FRF (perhaps to Tino).

U won't have frf cover when hass has the bye if you get rid of Lsmith. downgrade bsmith to a nuffie. Also it reminds ves a shot AE.moat weeks

Thanks, agreed - I would prefer to trade out Billy Smith, but can't quite afford CNK-Ponga if I do. Will just deal with Haas at the time - have enough trades to do so.

Good luck to those left in eliminator.

thoughts on going Gagai over Trell as a POD option?

Without seeing your match ups don't do it.

Billy Smith coming back to haunt me and doing his bit to try and knock me out of the eliminator

Have no trades left so jdb out isn't gonna cause to many problems unless I can more outs then I'm fucked

Nice pick

Still don’t really know how to use the VC loop but my eliminator opponent doesn’t have SJ so all points is good points

I looped SJ, considering going ahead with switching Trell for Gagai (as the guy coming in for JDB), as not only do I rate him as a POD but my eliminator opponent has him and I have a decent lead thanks to looping SJ

Get fucked Isaako, hat trick when my opponent has him has made matchup much closer

Me: 26 + Horse + Lomax + Bateman
Opponent: Isaako + Nikora + Munro + Tapine

Same as it is in other formats, Coates in Boats.

I ended up sticking with Trell

Robson and Marzhew and the freakish Billy Smith have killed any chance in Eliminator. Ive switched some players to make PODs but unless some miracle occurs im done. Marzhew has been fantastic since ive had him Robson has been a steaming pile of shit. Top 32 seems to be my limit in the eliminator can never get past it. Hopefully the rest of you are doing better

Munro having a shocker has probably saved me after opponent brought it back

Could have scored 3-4 tries though

Into the final 16 let’s go, surely due for an all Fanatic affair

Great news. Best of luck mate.

I got through too. Here’s hoping not.
