Any updates/downdates for Moses?

40 for Moses would of been a lot higher if Taupau didn't use him as a turnstyle

Random wrote:So from my squad I am thinking..

Trading this week:
Sue + Ah Mau for Lawrence + Graham/Taupau
(Leaning towards Graham, I could also bring in both potentially depending on price changes. However Lawrence is hard to pass up.)

Notice next week:
Rochow, Taia and Ferguson

Duds I am carrying:
Barba, Mansour, Gordon, Feeney, Henry and Green.
(Gordon + Barba are safe, expecting big games to balance out from them.)

Oh and Krump..

I would be leaning toward Taupau if he keeps playing big minutes on the edge. That is if you don't mind picking up two Manly forwards. Graham played big minutes through injury both games, I don't expect him to keep that scoring up (though obviously its a possibility). I think Rochow will come good. Made some poor errors against Souths, but is an absolute workhorse and will be back to high 40s in no time. Expecting him to slowly pass a static Cartwright in 2 weeks at which point I will pick him up. Gordon up against some tough opposition last two weeks, I think he will come good and I am going to hold a little longer. Another tough game against the dogs for him this week and then he gets a run of poor defensive teams. Ferguson also on my choppingblock.

43/111 in the Fanatics league, losing to Far Canal by 2 points in L1 lol but have gone from 23,000th-odd last week to 6000th-odd this week. Thank god for Teddy and CS9 considering my 2nd row is underperforming!

That's me. Could go either way

Moses and Norman solid halves for over Origin?

Moses scored 40

My last trades pre lock out were Tedesco and Carter out for Mansour and LAM in.
Absolutely killing me.

LOL, glad I'm not the only one  , to add insult to injury, I still had plenty of cash left too,  so I "upgraded" Gavet to Sue

Wow you weren't wrong. It is now 796 vs 795 to me

Was tempted to go ARey > DCE prior to lockout but glad I didnt and went Musgrove > JTurbo so a small win there, the way Manly are playing cant see DCE holding his price unless there is a huge turn around in form.

DCE is a season keeper for me, so losing cash isn't as worrying as the shit scores.

Surely he'll pick up if Manly so being so terrible.

If Taupau is going to be an 80 minute wide forward I will try very hard to get him in.

Munster, Teddy, JTurbo, Walker also on the trade in list

Fensom, RTS on the watch list for when they bottom out

I reckon they should swap Lyon and Walker around, actually I would have started the season that way but they need to do something quickly.

I don't see the point in trading guns to guns at this stage unless they are injured with only a small sample size. Some teams have players that are scoring well because their team is going well but only takes a few injuries and a teams form can really reverse quickly. Same can be said for teams with lots of off season transfers e.g. Manly and Warriors. Will take 6 weeks to really gel. Happy to sit on Woods, Merrin and DCE. It only takes a concussion to really wish you just held the trade e.g Fensom and Tolman this week. Who is next. If we trade every week we run out of trades by week 16/17 I think and there is still one more origin then.
I'm concentrating on fixing failed cows at this stage so last week I traded NGreen to Carter and picked up Garvey and this week will probably go LAM and JFH out and get BLaw and Holland via Henry (only keeping him for DPP purposes). Next week will probably go KEvans to JGraham/Mau and Littlejohn to CScott. Then will have to sit tight for two to three weeks while the cows mature and to save trades for the inevitable injuries!

Edit: this is a follow on from you holding DCE, and flows on from people suggesting trade raging Merrin and Woods. What happens when you trade Merrin to JGraham then Graham gets knocked out in the 21st minute against the Eels (highly likely with their massive aggressive forward pack)

Peats/Jniko my current hooker combo, unsure if straight to Cam and forget about it.
Merrin to anyone is so tempting, but definitely not a priority. Someone remind me of that haha.
Sticking with Cartright and Barba for now. Thinking James Roberts to Munster l, i know thats bailing out early on Roberts but.... and Barba was cheap, no point dumping him after two rounds where he looks great fitness wise.
Hopefully something comes of Scott, selected him from the start, wouldnt it be nice for the odd thing to go our way.... 270 points of the pace already, here comes the fight !

See above re Merrin.

Really tempted to bring in someone like Munster but his price tag is a bit of a put off atm. At this stage I think Feeney and Green really need to go now. Best options without going crazy with the cash?

I would go straight to Cam but I started with him. JFriend is a good option for now but not when the cavalry returns. Peats maybe only misses two games I reckon.
Think anyone thinking Garvey may have missed the boat. Only have to look at Tyler Randall's scores 65 week 1, 27 week 2. If Tolman doesn't get knocked out does Garvey play 80.

Open! Trade away

I hope Auvaa is named, my CTRS are shit.

RAAAAAAAGE!!
