Ponga and Turbo *could* be final team WFBs, CNK will not. If you already have Teddy and Manu, who *should* be final team WFBs, then I like holding one more round for Edwards, who is a final team WFB- no asterisks necessary.

I should probably have disclaimered that I gave Teddy and Manu, and am bringing in Ponga
. I will still likely pick up Edwards next round though. He’s even more involved in the Panthers attack this year and he’s always threatening for a huge fantasy score. Can’t beat a bargain buy though!

I like your point, I was thinking similar
I already have Ted Manu Drinky Bula
So Ponga is a gamble but is a surplus gamble
I probably want to fit Edwards or Trell in there somewhere instead

Ponga is that cheap that the risk is minimized, but the potential payoff is massive
Potential 50 avg player priced at low 30s

Career average 54 at FB.. yeah.. I could go Host to him. Host was going to be a trade out at some stage anyway. If I do, then I trot out with this for R13
Cook
JDB Horse Harris
Fifita Hopgood
SJ Niko
Bird Lemmy
Teddy Drinky Ponga
Cleary Haas Boyd Manu
Bula Loiero HEdwards Oloapu
Keep in mind I have 8 trades left (after making 4 which includes that Ponga one)

Yeah, I don't have a tracker but do talk through my trade ideas on here.
Think I'm gonna max trade this week, including Haas. Hard to keep four Origin players through the bye. Was going to flip Ted before last week, but now doing Haas makes more sense.
Cheese/iKatoa/Miller/Haas to Ponga/Drinkwater/Tatola/Ford
Would have 610k(!) in the bank and ten trades to go Burbo to Cook next week, then run Cook/Robson through the byes/season. Technically, set up to get through the bye period fielding 12 in the big byes and 18 in the small byes using only four trades with six spares, but that's not going to happen... gives a bit of a cushion for injuries though.
R13
Robson
JDB Hors Tatola
Hopgood Ford
SJ DBrown
Bird Lemu
Ponga Drinkwater x
R14 (probable)
Cook
JDB Hors Tatola
Difita iPap
Cleary SJ
Bird Lemu
Ted Drinkwater Bula
Robson Preston Ford Manu
Oloapu (Hopgood DBrown Ponga)

So when it comes to the last 3 rounds and we still have 5 fanatics at the top of the rankings, are you guys still going to share your trades?

Surprised Milchy agreed to work for him tbh.Scoopadifuego wrote:
Wow he actually responded.
TLDR: The site doesn't work sometimes, and they check some but not all of the players in case the algorithm goes funny. Also Butters is hiring someone so he doesn't have to work 60 hours a week on this thing. Manually inputting expected player minutes each week? Surprised he kept that up as long as he did.

Could go for the 5 way tie and share the top prize, sync up the squads and make it an impromptu meetup for Magic Round next season.
Although you are assuming any of us have trades left at that point to actually be able to do anything with our squads. Might be some desperation Captain selections to try close the gap.

I think the trades are just about settled, but bumping the community poll just in case anyone still wants a vote

I notice one of the 'note types' in footystats s "coach madness"
So that category is just for whatever shenanigans Hook did at the Dragons, right?

Seen plenty of Haas out chat which is cool I don’t own him at all. Just wondering if same goes for Carrigan?rhinoceroo wrote:

I’m assuming his minutes will be managed but have no proof of that. He has a pretty low BE compared to his average so even if he does play less minutes he could still score 40 odd and make a bit more cash and contribute.
I also have Tino in the same boat but I think I’m happy to let him go this week for Hoppy

Pretty much.
Another example would be Josh Hoffman at 6, but as i type this, i realise that was also Hook

Wouldn't mind making a 4th trade this week just to chase the monthly but I am short 1 x edge and 2 x WFB and there are no moves to fill those that aren't totally bonkers.
Looking ahead to r16 it's going to be a tough one, currently have no players from Sea Eagles, Panthers, Cowboys, Sharks or Storm.
