Thanks mate for that. Can definitely do a triple this week if I need to them.

Taking advantage of no Thursday game to run a 2nd poll for community team, try and solidify the trade options

Its pretty similar. I'd expect big minutes but I'd be surprised if he played 80 like he did the past few weeks.

Wouldn't trade him out if I had him (I do have him and am holding) but perhaps target Horse this week instead if its a choice between the 2

Got on Horse last week so was just looking at a Round 13 number. Surely Tapine is as cheap as he’s going to get and can only go up

Doubt he gets anything like 80 minutes at prop. Hope he does (also an owner) but 60 minutes, 50-55 points is a more realistic but still optimistic projection. Which is fine for now.

There are only 2 MIDs on the bench, expect they each get 20-30 minutes, in line with previous rounds on the bench for them, which leaves JDB and Bird sharing around 140 minutes, with Lawrie getting 50 minutes.

Pretty sure that Bird hasnt played 80 minutes just at lock, was when he was moving to EDG, which is covered by BMM.

Ive gone quite hard at R13. Current team looks like this....

Robson
Horse AFB Ford
Young Null
Moses SJ
Bird HTF

Also have Couch and KNik if needed

Need a couple of WFB and I'm good. Looking closely at VTW and Savage this weekend

Not like BMM is an edge and only an edge. Can say the same about most bench forwards. Probably likely he plays some prop this week.

Interesting if Hunt plays 80. Would make sense for him to do so, at least moving forward

Eels have a dream run from here on through the byes, probably worth burning an extra trade and spending the coin to go Moses instead of Brown. Hmm....

Currently in the situation where I have the 2 dolphins halves.

The only thing stopping me from getting Moses is that I have players going to waste in Round 13.

However, looking at Nikorima and Katoa`s prices and averages at lerast one of them is definitely a trade out before Round 13.

Maybe a Preston to Moses trade is on the cards.

Eels would be great if they can get a decent forward pack on the park. Paulo is a certainty for Origin, RCG is injured, Hopgood and Matterson in the frame for Origin selection. If either of Hopgood or Matterson are selected, they will really struggle.

Hi all, I've been busy at work but keeping an eye on the forum. I appreciate the discussion and the shit posting, especially when I've been really busy.

I have 23 trades before I trade this week, 6 origin players and only 5 for R13 pre trades.

My rank reflects the above at 10,372.

I usually play aggressively during the bye rounds but it will be interesting to see how successful that will be this year given the new bye rules.

I'll lock in Preston to Horse this week because it is a good time to bring him in. I plan to make most of my R13 trades clsoer to R13 unless there is value before then.  

I'm also considering trading out Cook, if I don't then I'll have to hold him through origin because I don't want to lose any more cash on him.

I do wonder how many casuals or even guys that aren’t forum dwellers know about the bye round restrictions on teams.

I want to do a poll in my friends group but I suspect I may be giving away some important info

You just made a very compelling case for Greig. Maybe not great scores the next couple but should see a big uptick of minutes over that period.

Whichever of Hopgood and Matterson don't make Origin get huge minutes and scores to match in those rounds as well.

I am not a regular on Facebook/Discord but from what I've seen there people seem to know

No doubt there will be some people surprised, but I'd assume everyone committed enough to be ranked highly will be aware of the changes.

WFB should be left to 4th round picks only

No footy tonight, yuck

Given there's no Thursday game, we should see some proper shitposting today so we can get to page 51 and have a proper May the 4th Star Wars gif party

been planning on getting in Fifi every week for the last 3 weeks and have kept going with other options.

was going to go

Preston Couchman to Fifi Oloapu which means I need to play one of Oloapu/Niko at 17 as covering for Miller.

The "smarter" move may be pass again on Fifi for the 4th time and go

Preston Couchman to Horse Drinky which means I can move on Alamoti next week and instead settle for Ipap later on.

Going Head 2 Head. In 2 minds about

Option 1: getting the top end keepers in Fifi
Option 2: get in cash guys
