Far out. Forgot about Bellend.

Lots of us need a hooker, no one needs an edge.

Position aside he's a nice option though

Yeah for sure, I've been collecting edges like they're Pokemon this year (have all of Hopgood, Katoa, Carty, Loiero, Ford, Preston, Doorey) so definitely don't need another one, but he's good value in isolation.

Yeah. It's why I'm also wary of Lawrie and Bird. Not sure how JDB impacts everything.

Tbh this has me considering selling Bird. Probably too reactionary but if I did, I could trade him and Reynolds to Hynes and Brailey, fixing my HLF and HOK spots once and for all.

I would still be fine at CTR and WFB, would just be playing Hammer, Alamoti, Walsh, Miller and Warbrick as my back 5 with Teddy in the pipeline.

Depends what you need really. Hynes R6 bye and probably slots in somehow to NSW - too good to leave out.

The forum has a glitch if it gets to about 55 the thread will spilt in two threads with the same name and makes it confusing. So we decided to cut it at 50 and that’s how the page 51 parties were born.

Long story short just blame random

Yeah Hynes has that bye but he is easily a top 2 half even if he does play Origin.

Bird is good but if he's playing edge instead of lock then he loses some appeal, and I can still have a good back 5 without him, especially since I'm targeting Teddy as a buy in the next couple weeks.

If Hands plays then I don't need to do this, since I could then just trade Trindall and Reynolds to Hands and Hynes and have plenty of cash for buying Brailey/Teddy next week.

Due to the slackarse mods, we almost got to the point where the thread was going to split itself automatically.

You don't want to be around if that happens

Is that where the forum splits into two alternative realities and everyone has a nagging feeling that something just isn't right but carries on regardless?

Which reality is the one where I'm better at fantasy? (and funnier and better looking etc)

Trading out Bird who’s supposedly a keeper CTR and Reynolds (who I assume you just got) seems extremely reactionary

In 2 weeks with Hynes on the bye you’ll have 1 mil on the sideline and may do this merry go round again if Hynes doesn’t score enough to justify his price tag lol

Reynolds was always a stepping stone to Hynes, and never intended as a keeper. Hynes was always the goal.

Bird may be within the keeper range at CTR but Brailey can easily score more points than him, and I have two solid centres that I would be playing every week anyway (Hammer and Alamoti), so it doesn't actually affect my CTRs that much.

That said if Hands plays I don't need to do this at all, I can just trade Trindall to Hands instead of Bird to Brailey.

In one reality, everyone traded in Host

In the other reality, everyone went Lawrie.

The 2 realities are so different they can't ever collide.

I’m somehow tempted by Couchman. Don’t know much about him. Would like to ditch Thompson for him and continue building a bank, but doesn’t leave me with wfb cover.

Are Couchman's minutes expected to grow?

Official is 73 if that helps your decisions

Don't jinx it with comments like "once and for all"

Thats asking for trouble lol

I swear there are more than several teams, ranked higher than me, that had Hynes stashed in their emergencies from the start, but are where they are because they got scores from players like HTF and I’m telling myself he won’t do that week after week.

Yeah it's bad juju

I don't think I'll actually trade Bird, just Trindall to Brailey in one and hope to god that Hynes doesn't go over 70 again.

Thanks mate, makes it look a little bit nicer.

I think he`s a hold at this stage but is definitely tempting to down grade to a Turbo Walsh to free up some cash.

Will be the last week that that trade makes sense with the potential incoming price drop.
