Revs im counting on you being around for shitposting Friday this week. Dont let me down

Might have to fast track it with Tigers v Dragons spoonbowl on Thursday

If I trade 
A to B
C to D

A plays, B gets injured last second
Being able to magically make it 
A to D
And reverse C to B (a trade I never made)

Is this what we’re describing SC is? Huge LOL if true

What’s this SuperCoach everyone’s banging on about? Sounds like everyone gets a prize.

I never played back in the day because I assumed you’d need to have a Daily Tele sub to get the secret good oil.

I think if you only made A to B and Player B is ruled out for whatever reason then you are able to change Player B to another player as long as budget fits and even if Player A is locked

I now have a headache

The third Leyland brother be home by then ?

Hope u've had a blast mate

I really don't want to weaken my bench further with a cashout so I'm doing some interesting trades.  

Manu > Graham
NAS > Martin (hoping he can score well with minutes and a good run)
Ipap > Cleary

I also contemplated NAS > E.Clark for more cash but ultimately decided against.

My team

Boyd
Horse, Haas, Harris
Fifita, Bateman
Cleary, Hynes
C.Graham, Kris/Simonnson loop using Burbo
Ponga, Drinkwater, Meaney

DCE, Johnson, Hopgood, Martin/Bula loop using H.Graham

Graham, Burbo, Kris/Simmonson, Martin/Bula

My biggest hole is not having Grant but that's next weeks problem.

If Dragons win we are 15th. Only one spot off the Roosters.

Trent Robinson should be sacked tbh

I got strong armed into playing NRLF as cannon fodder for a $$ work comp (that’s where the whole Aardvark thing started so I could be top before the season started). Figured it out after the first season and I’m still taking their money over a decade later much to their disgust.

Never really considered SuperCoach as love the fact that this is challenging.

I've been giving the calculator a good workout this week pricing seemingly the same players dozens of times but always ending up short without using more trades than I'd like.

Was originally looking to trade in Cleary, Murray, and a cashdown, but after last weeks score have lost all confidence in playing Simonsson in the 17 unless its injury cover. So am looking to get Tedesco in and moving Garrick to CTR.

Currently have penciled in:
Liddle to Tedesco
NAS  to Cleary
VTW to Skelton

But that could still change to any of Harris, Matterson, or Robson out instead as I still don't know who should go lol.

I still want Murray but that would take me down to 1 trade left and even though this is the crazy trade thread I don't think I could do it with so many rounds remaining.


Team before trades with 295k in the bank.

H. Grant
J. De Belin, C. Horsburgh, J. Hopgood
J. Bateman, D. Fifita
N. Hynes(C), S. Johnson
J. Manu, B. Simonsson
K. Ponga, R. Garrick, S. Drinkwater

D. Cherry-Evans, T. Harris, R. Matterson, N. Asofa-Solomona
J. Liddle, R. Robson, C. Lemuelu*, V. Te Whare*

Hybrid trading?

Id be tempted to do the crazy trades and risk it. Your bench is way too deep imo.

I’ll probably play SuperCoach with a hth team as well as fantasy next year just so I can take some free money from a buy in league with a bunch of guys I know through work. They all tell me how good they are then I look at their teams and Obbeats would be beating them.

Thinking of going all out this week:

Stone > Cleary
Harris > Murray
To'a > Walsh
Lil Tino > Wishart

Leaving me no bank, 3 trades and:

Grant,
Haas, Horse, Carrigan
Fifita, Bateman
Hynes, Cleary
Manu, Ramien
Drinky, Ponga, Walsh

SJ, Hopgood, Murray, Boyd
Bula, Skelton, Wishart, Jed

Mine is a factory league so there tends to be some pretty lethal banter, I used to infuriate people by playing dumb and telling them I never watched any games and didn’t even have a team. Most of them still haven’t figured out you don’t win by loading your team with players from your club or chasing last weeks scores.

Should be sacked on the basis of playing NBrown 80 mins last week imo

Winning a couple of premierships in a row will buy you quite a lot of leeway with regards to results re Robinson and so it should salary cap be damned.
Just look at the Tigers welcoming Sheens back with open arms. Everyone remembers the premiership not the subsequent sacking

Roosters have had as bad a run of injuries as any team in the comp the last few seasons.

2 trades for me, possibly a 3rd if needed.

Colquhoun and Cleary in for Manu and Turpin.

May trade in Kiraz for VTW if needed, but will try to hold off, leaving me with 3 trades and a deep stacked team, with very few bye round players remaining.

Can sell Preston to Cleary over Matterson bit worried about Preston match up this week against Penrith.

Also is it worth holding Bula from here and selling Penisini to Garrick? Penisini has scored 4 tries in last 5 games and still only avg 40. Parra hard draw to come too, do I cut my losses?

So 4 big trades would leave me with 4 trades spare and….

Robson to Grant
Preston to Cleary
Brimson to Colouqhun
Penisini to Garrick

Leaving

Robson
Horse Haas JDB
Fifita Bateman
Cleary Hynes
Manu Garrick
Ponga Edwards Bula

SJ Hopgood Matto Lemu
Hands M. King Kris Colouqhun


Then I can pick who I play or loop out of Ponga, Lemu or Bula based on match up. Thoughts lads?
