Waikato, mainly...

It's a secret club only an elite few are allowed in, drinks are free though, like Club Tropicana

Canberra mate. Plays halfback.

Gives me a solid 18 and my first actual decision around who to not play all season

Question is who to leave out from carty, Loiero, Preston (hand an issue?), ford?

I vote Carty. Monday night team list shenanigans will abound. If Preston was serious he wouldn't be playing, Loiero should play 80. I have a man crush on Ford.

Are you in any league at all mate??

I didn’t join because I had no idea what it was and was still finding my feet, it’s pretty intimidating in here so just held off. I did join the fanatics open league though.
I’m going to check your team out now!

We don’t bite sweetheart

You do not talk about FOG

That’s the way I was leaning myself. Didn’t want to get caught with my pants down at yet another party

Coming back around to trading Hopgood this week...

I think he absolutely can be a hold for this week, but I then think he is a trade next week, so not sure what the real point holding is when I can make him Murray and get that upgrade done now (would've liked Tohu if he was fit).

Murray, Haas, Tapine mid just looks too good.

Moves would be:

Uto to iKatoa
Hopgood to Murray

I agree. I'm playing the others you have too. Carty probably going to be benched for me Monday and will more than likely play Hopgood and UTo over him.

Cook
Haas Murray Ford
Preston Hosking
SJ Boyd
Alamoti Null
Turbo Miller Warbrick

Hopgood Cartwright Loiero IKatoa

Tedesco Trindall Doorey HSS

Thinking Trindall to Knik and play Knik over Ikatoa. Bank some cash with a view to buying a half next week. Could get Cheese in for Doorey to add a bit of depth. Could sell Teddy to Cleary. Really unsure which way to go.

Opinions greatly appreciated.

I don’t mind the Trindall to K. Nik but then you have two Dolphins halves personally that’d make me a bit nervous. Nikorima BE is high 20’s as well. But there aren’t many options. I mean maybe HSS to AKP is an option for a fast cash grab? Titans playing Dragons AKP could score another 2 tries and get a 50 and make 80-90k this week. Sheens seems to like Blore too so he probs keeps getting 55mins off the bench probs my fav of the cows this week. I think Tigers need to play Bateman some more in the middle as they’re struggling there.

I’m sure you know this too but you defs need one of Cleary or Hynes by next week at the latest.

If you sell Teddy hhhmmmm I don’t think that’s a great idea as lots myself included are strongly looking at bringing him in when he’s bottomed out in 2 weeks time. Then he is likely to start braining it too.

Anyway good luck mate you’ll fly up the ranks soon I’m certain about that.

I’m trying to weigh uo whether I go Brailey or Cheese but it can probs wait another week whikst I get another look at Cheese. I would C Murray or Cook if I was you. I’d probs go Murray I think he might get a try this week.

What’s your guys thoughts on Carty hold another week or sell?

I’m gonna try find out tomorrow too whether Thompson is staying right wing or moving to left for this week.

This is about the time every year I seem to lose a heap of placings overall and my team falls apart. I believe it comes down to poor trading and wasting trades. Wanted to see if people could give me some suggestions on players I should think about trading out now or soon and players i should be looking to get in. Heres my team:

Grant
Tohu Hopgood Tapine
Ekatoa Hosking
Cleary SJ
Alamoti Lemuelu
Miller Turbo Sloan

Uto Ford Carty Preston
iKatoa Warbrick HTF Perham 130k ITB

help much appreciated

He is starting EDG, averaging 50 in a team with the best byes possible. Until that changes he is a hold.

Can’t see any trades needed this week, stacked emergency, maybe overkill with perham and Sloan and HTF,

But they should all make money this week and then when 3 trades are available next week, choose the ones with the best bye schedule/favourite ones

Just concerned Matto moved to edge at some point as Murchie and Makhatoa have been playing mins in the middle around 30mins a game and Hopgood is gonna play middle too so that’s 3 middles off the bench something has to give somewhere I wouldn’t be shocked if Matto does shift to edge and Carty loses some mins and only gets 50-55mins. Surely Matto will play 70-75mins.
