Feeling like sideways trading is the way to go for this period

Now I forget, but there wont be reserves during bye weeks yeah?

How many are people shooting to have?

Just like Butters is too busy with his tool. And also his analytics engine

Not too busy for desperate rant though (Filth should try it)

Thinking between 11 and 12. Probably 11 so I have some trades for sorting out the next bye

As close to 13 as possible, but will only be able to manage 11 this round due to carnage (Matto, Davey, Burbo, HTF & Miller unavailable)

looking at 13 for round 16,

but probably 11 for round 19 due to a questionable availability in the WFB position

Time to ditch Haas AND Carrigan I reckon. Almost guaranteed to be rested for one match each and I would imagine a very high chance to have mins managed in the matches they play. Think Kevvy has shown his hand in relation to the reduced mins in matches that are 'safe' this season.

I will look to pick Haas up again post origin (hopefully at adecent discount) however think there are other mids that do the job of Carrigan. As others have pointed out, Carrigan needs big mins for the uuuge scores, and chances are his minutes are managed heading into finals.

Origin players not backing up is going to a big challenge in the minor byes

Yet again out of trades wrote:Maybe add this to the start of each thread as a bit of a guide for some of the people getting the weeks / rounds muddled up may just be a personal problem lol.

Round 13: Before Origin 1 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 14: After Origin 1 - Origin players backing up.
Round 15: Normal round.
Round 16: Before Origin 2 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 17: After Origin 2 - Origin players backing up.
Round 18: Normal round.
Round 19: Before Origin 3 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 20: After Origin 3 - Origin players backing up.

I hope u got a fee for this from slippery butter

TBF - i think when he says good oil, he is referring to me and my every post. Absolutely

Considering it's a basically maxed out IKat I will be trading to Ponga, who I can't even play this round due to have Niko and SJ in the halves, I think I can live with the Ponga injury risk and history of being burned. I think...

Need to go hard to maintain my rank of 64th, so trades are Haas, Grant, Cheese, Ikat for Hopgood, Tohu, Cook, Ponga. Pretty happy with that.

Gives me 10 for the round, which is a bit under par, but not many dud players:

Cook
Hopgood, Tohu, Horse
Su'a, Fifita
SJ, Niko
Lemu, Bird
Ponga, Latrell, Teddy

Cleary, Preston, Manu, Carrigan, Boyd, Edwards, Bula, Oloapu

'Incredibly greasy' does not translate to 'good oil', sorry revs.

Great to see

Don't ever let the stats and expertise or wateva else let u think Ur not valued here Finchy.. unless there is a changing of the guard posters like u and many other random banter based bs posters are the recipe that makes this crusty ole place the gr8 place it is. I think that's missed by some, but it genuinely is.

I'm also toying with trading Haas out, depending on what I can get with my trades via team lists. It's risky, but could get back cheaper post Origin. Can't not see him playing 60 minutes in Origin either.

10 if I hold Miller for next week (to trade to Edwards), 11 if I sell him this week

I'm thinking about doing it too, but waiting until next week before I make a move in case there's injuries in Origin to my other guys

Even in my worst ever season I'm still managing to beat Filth.

Would hate to see how badly you did if I stuck around 50k

First to run out of trades wins. Good luck, you have no chance..

If finchys in-game reverse psychology isn't the most demonstrably useful work on here with real, tangible points results I don't know what is.

@ytsb

The inclusion of a tissue box at the foot of the shrine is quite disturbing.

Not quite sure I understand this strategy. Key bye round only to hold a 900K player until next week to trade?

"Good news for the Roosters - at this stage Joseph Manu (ankle), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (pec), Daniel Tupou (hamstring) and Sam Walker (ACL) are all aiming to return in Round 14 (after their bye this week)."
