I like boring.

What happened to the Welshy who tried to find Cleary alternatives? Did he move to England?

Get that into ya!

Only problem with that is that Bula plays first game , so it locks early

I’m so confused about what to do with tapine, had planned him out this round a few weeks back but im wondering if there are better options,

His scores seem much better recently, I have a lot to think about

Think it's a tough choice with Tapine. Papalli due back R21. Hors back from origin R20 so full Raiders pack is just around the corner.

With a pretty much full pack hes averaging 55, and playing 52 minutes avg. In, around and between the byes he's going for a 59 avg and averaging 60 minutes.

He's gone big last 2 rounds which is skewing his higher average. I'm finding it tough letting him go but think I can get a higher average from elsewhere for the run in. I'm looking at Murray for the run in, but have Harris/Matto as other alternatives to move.

You can still do it! If Cleary named in extended squad, would you? If named at 7, would you?

I seem nice until you get to know me

The draw is a bit shit this week. Planning on DCE and Fifita in so far. Tatola an easy out and can wait for final teams on Fifita. Was gonna punt Bula for DCE, but means I'm reaching deep into the reserves with Haas, Cook and Horse out. Would be playing two of Sandon, Hands and VTW. Team looks solid beyond this week though. Could trade Cook instead and get a look at Bula, but when he scores 30 odd I'll be like wtf did I do that?

Need to just wait for origin anyway. 7-8 players I have or planning to trade in and one going down could make decisions easy.

my thoughts are almost exactly the same, tapine for fifita this week, and then someone (maybe tedesco) for murray next week to give me and equivalent big scoring mid

ALSO updated my team tracker,

checked the stats in rd 12 i was rank 10956 and I'm now rank 967, been a good bye period, but i need help rebalancing the team and ditching some of the 8 wfb I have

This weekend the battle hardened Bulldogs veterans had 969 NRL games worth of experience in the 17. Compared with the lowly 1,029 games from the young, inexperienced Rabbitohs side

Like most I have ended up with poor squad balance and way too much depth

After bringing in Cleary this week (non negotiable for me) I have the following HLF eliglible players
Cleary, Hynes, DCE, SJ, Hughes, Brimson, Ponga
I also have too many WFBs with Brimson, Ponga, Teddy, Gutho, Bula, Kris and Suaali'i all options

Has left me with a stack of depth at full strength with Blore 20 and Kris 21 probably too pricey for their roles. Even Gutho/Brimson/Bula at 18 and 19 could probably be put to a bit better use

Can do Bula and tapine for grant and Fifita

Seems like a pretty decent deal

Does Loiero survive another week as a R1 pick because I want to get rid of other players?

Does he get the hottest yeet of 2023?

Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z

Pencilled in Bula and Liddle to Yeo and Fifita, tempted to do CNK/Loiero to Cleary/cash-out aswell, but not sure I want to blow through half my remaining trades in one week even if it does complete my best 17, plus hamstring injuries are tricky, so I would prefer him getting through a game before I grab him, even though he will banner up on me for doubting him.

Speaking of, after this weeks trades I’ll have no surviving players from my round 1 squad

Notification on desktop still suggesting the DPP updates happen this week, rather than post-round 20 in their help section.

They must have Batman and need the MID dual this week.

Can go Bula to Fifita in a single trade but this is the one thing that makes it a potential problem.

How do these trades sound in isolation?
Cook to Grant
Bula to DCE

the more and more i look at my team the more trades i'm making smh
