Skipping TMM for sure. 0 kick metres for a half is unheard of, will need a big play every single week to average more than 30 which is right where Taylor ends up IMO. At this stage only trade will likely be JNiko to Parcell to replace Surgess in the 17 this week

    Agree with the TMM call but you have to admit the kid can play and yes time to bring in parcell

    827 before updates, with a rank of 5955.

    Over halved my rank this week but plenty of work. Lam and Aubbs are at the top of my hit list.

    For everyone thinking their team is crap, stick with it.
    I climbed 25000 spots in tonight's game alone.
    The season is still early. You will find that most of the gun players have probably had the worst start to a season they have ever had.
    Injuries are everywhere. There is a long way to go in this competition.

    agree chuck!

    my personal whinge aimed at the fact I was well placed and can never finish rounds strong
    nothing wrong with my team and I am really happy going forward just annoying seeing good starts fall to shit and rankings slide aftermath but know it works both ways early in the season

    So I'm already eyeing off 2 trades for this week and would very much like thoughts on whether they're good trades or not.

    Aubo out for a cheapie like that Denniss guy. J Roberts shifts to CTR, Latrell moves into my starting WFB.
    Evans out for Tolman or Graham.

    Solid trades, yay or nay?

    Aubboson should be moving back to 2RF this week so I would hold off on that trade if you have something more pressing than that.

    Reading on SC addicts Mitchell dislocated his shoulder.

    Injuries (and suspensions) aren't really everywhere. They are concentrating just fine within my team.

    I'll be using 2 trades a week for the next 3-4 rounds just to field a decent 17. So all I can really hope for is that I get a lucky run with injuries post origin.

    For my side it's far too early to tell what trades I'll make.
    I have Merrin, Surgess, Carter, CLaw before I even begin to think about form.
    Also have Green and Feeney.
    Add Mitchell to that list.
    Waiting on injury and suspension news before trades are sorted.
    Expecting Korisau back in first grade next week so I wouldn't try to trade in Parcell if I didn't already have him.

    Merrin is a worry ideally he is back this week same with Surgess, if both out long term

    then Mannering and Graham in I reckon

    Yeah there's only about 100 points between ranking 1000-5000. It's still early lots of injuries and suspensions to level the playing field

    Jake Trbojevic in for Merrin for my side.
    Had him all pre season but got put off by the head knock in the nines.

    This is probably a really dumb question but can you "intentionally" use AE's? While my CTR/WFB's are OK, I feel I could potentially score better if I rolled the dice on my NPRs

    Damn. This is even worse news for those with Ferguson I'd imagine.

    Yes you can.
    It is a risky strategy but has been used with success previously..
    If Claw and Mitchell are both out this week, I will use it rather than bring in someone just for 1 round.
