2022 Tyran Wishart says hello.

Over the next 2 rounds I can either:

2 trades - In - SJ, Robson || Out - Doueihi, Doorey OR Trindall
3 trades - In - SJ, Brailey, and Turbo OR Lemuelu || Out - Doueihi, Doorey, Trindall
4 trades - In - SJ, Brailey, Turbo, Lemuelu || Out - Doueihi, Doorey, Trindall, Loiero OR Sutton

Without Lemuelu I'm running Alamoti + HSS with no centre cover.
Without Turbo I'm running either Sloan or Warbrick each week.

Need to decide if I want to keep max trading as I haven't saved one yet. I think 3 trades is probably the sweet spot. Just depends on if I want centre cover or not.

Doorey vs Trindall out this week is interesting to me. Think Trindall is close to a definite trade next week, but likely makes more money this week if he's held, where I think if Doorey plays this week he could be held to R13. I'd probably hold both if I didn't have so much cash in the bank (437k) but feels bad not using it.

Open to any insights if you'd care to provide them. Cheers!

He's pretty consistently averaged around 52 across many previous seasons, with peak at 54. I don't see any reason that would change too much this year?

He's only had 2 missed tackles across his first three games (averaged 3 per game last year) and has had two field goals which inflates that 3 game average

All well and good, but he did say in January it is the fittest he's ever been in a pre-season, which is akin to training the house down. So there's a +5 to his average right there.

With ARey, the other huge positive to his scoring is how good the Bronco pack are going, they are dominating the stats.

Can they keep it going? I am banking on it.

Just realised I’ll be down to only Cleary next week with the Titans bye. Maybe I should turn Butcher into a half this week in case things go pear shaped. Guess I’m on the SJ train after all

Fuckin Peoples

Someone smart told me - before any of the verdicts comes through - you can’t say tackle A should get off because tackle B did (like Kaufusi and Hughes tried), you need to argue the definition (which Baker did). Roosters didn’t even have a lawyer and still had the best legal defence lol

Pretty average podcast style tbh

At least they drink while doing the poddy

I’m assuming they all must have a remarkable track record of achievement in recent years to justify this…..but they probably don’t

It’s also way too fucking long

Not sure why I’m so sweary tonight, anyway, I do read the articles and just treat the analysis like another perspective rather than gospel

Tbf I appreciate the free content and it scratches my itch, but I think in terms of analysis and original ideas this forum is much much better,

Especially with the way you help newbies (me last year)

Just have it in background and tune most out

Talking league I prefer, think TK is a great host

Baring in mind I just starting listening this season

I quite like both of them TL is good for inside info, Amateurs is good fun (although yes, far too long).

Try OTL, which seems to be back this season. Boys you'd let your daughter date, one of them posts on the forum, and they must have lives because the podcasts are a reasonable 30 minutes long.

I listened to a few of the pre season pods and wasn’t a big fan. Don’t have time for all the podcasts. I’m on the LMC one as you guys know and I prioritise OTL now they’re back and Talking League.

I listen to the Amateurs just to get some different perspective, I have a laugh at their failures
They have some dicey advise at times, but I guess you can get that on this forum too

All the mid 300s cows are kinda gross and not sure if they’re worth an extra trade. Not sure Ford is a trade in with a 30s BE and his 44 in R1 boosted by a LB

Could grab Lemuelu for Doorey but wanting to use money for Teddy/Turbo next round (and have Bird + Alamoti)

One of my most important lessons over the years is not to force it if you don't trust a cow. There will always be another one next week

I've chosen the wrong cow many a time. Any fantasy tips ?

Ahh fuck it, she’ll be right. Can sort things out next week in regards to a new half.

I'm going to tempt the fantasy gods and trade out Trindall this week. You can all thank me later.

There's an incredible amount of 'voice of reason' today, bringing balance to the force.

Ok lads, looking at trading in either ConNully(445k) or Ford (353k) this week, who would you go with?
Both have DPP which is handy, both play the first bye, similar BE. Both are in a top 4 team, and both probably end up in my team in the next fortnight. Who will score more this week?

Downvote: Ford

I would lean slightly like this (Assuming you were getting both anyways over next 2 weeks)

Null Null this week
Ford next week

Purely down to BE of Ford is 35 so won't skyrocket in price and less confusion about the team with some other players hanging around
Null Null is pretty much nailed down to that spot for 4 weeks now regardless

Agree. I've already made it clear why i like null null.

I'll probably grab Ford next week if he looks good again. Although I really need to slow down on the trades.

I want Miller and Turbo this week. Butcher is one out but the other will have to be Trindall or Loiero. I've done Loireo but also tempted to roll the dice on Trindall out instead. Not sure yet.

So Rd 13 you only get 13 scorers from the 10 teams that play and origin players won't play but also you only get scores for the 13 positional slots so max 2 scoring EDG players(obv DPP can go in other slot)

Is this correct?
