    Death Cab for Manly?

    If Turbo is at 80% of 120% he's at 96%, which is not so bad.

    NAS > JDB
    Ford > Luki

    Wanted to keep Ford for R13, but feels like hes probably topped out in price and Luki is on the way up (take the risk that Luki doesn't revert to 35-40s)
    Enables the JDB trade trade too before he gets out of reach.

    Also on a side note, just got blocked from footystats on my work computer, never had an issue until today.

    Agreed on Luki - just got to take the risk with how bad my season has been so far.

    I think he's priced accordingly to be honest, can see him just a mid ranger longterm.  I don't see him anymore than a 35-40 point player, especially as long as he's only playing 60 minutes.  The problem is with last week's score, it kind of forces you into trading him in.  I'm thinking Ford to Luki also.  Can see Curran starting and Ford back on the bench, but who knows.

    He’s very try dependant but it seems to come with the position at the Cowboys.
    His price is a bit awkward, if he averages 40 then he makes 60k then stalls, if he averages 50 then he gets up to 110k.

    50 average would need tries to maintain looking at his past scores?

    He’d be coming in for Loiero if I got him and yeah just seems a bit meh. I’m hoping Manly gives us a useable option.

    I’d probably even take Elliot ahead of Luki if named at lock this week

    I'm much rather keep Loiero.

    Has to play the Tigers twice in his next six games, as well as other defensive powerhouses like Panthers and Souths (I guess you could maybe even add the Storm to this group) - strong avoid

    Looking forward to being quoted on this one Laughing

    I see Bob Jane is off to the Cowboys effective immediately - seems like the sort of player that will be a good fit with Payton

    Might not be so good for Granville maybe... but probably shouldn't make too much difference till after the bye you'd guess (if at all)

    Yeah exactly, I’m leaving that way as well.

    Shit, I don't have a clue which way is up right now, my team feels like it's gone from solid-as to beached-as

    Here are my problems;

    Robbo - jumped on too early, but it is what it is, Origin call-up would put an exclamation on a bad early get

    Ford - I was looking at him as a luxury trade-up prior to the HIA, now he's suddenly my only R13 edge

    Lane - basically dead for the next 2 months

    Manu - Minor injury. The Roosters are genuinely the worst team in the comp right now if you compare their performance to expected performance going into the season.
    I have a lot of time for Trent Robinson, it will be interesting to watch how he steers this ship around.

    Tedesco - someone needs to inject him with a vial of unicorn blood so that he can get a bit of power and energy back into his game. I'm no coach, but if I were TR part of my change would centre around getting Teddy involvements up. I wonder if the burden of Captaincy is distracting him in a weird way, and he just needs to focus on his own game.

    Miller - Ponga killed him, has gained $170k but also lost $90k. Too close to R13 to sell, just a bit of an irritation

    Hosking - Who knows what coach Cleary has planned for his edges each week. If he's playing 80 edge minutes, he's a keeper, but it's always going to be an IF...

    Brandon Smith - Another Rooster struggling to find his game in a team struggling to find their game, and keeps picking up little injuries.

    Drinkwater - He's a roulette table for scoring - No one to blame here, but when his team scores 40+ points, you'd normally hope he gets amongst it

    Probably my biggest problem overall are the headaches of not owning Hynes, Fifita, Haas, (Hopgood, Horsburgh, Walsh etc), some weeks it's going to hurt


    At the moment I'm probably not heading down the Luki path, but love him as a player and can well-imagine that at some point in the future he could be an elite fantasy edge. I'll have a look when I figure out what my plan is for the next 2 rounds
