    And sit in the trade whore corner ?

    I don't think I can make it, could suit up as an 18th super sub in the unlikely event 🤔

    Blow the last two to get Cleary in, captain him for the rest of the year and then do NFL mocks until the season starts.

    NRL trades are the shackles that hold you back from a full NFL fantasy transition imo

    Full ? It is cash on the line this year isn't it, priorities and all.

    Penis to cashout, Hopgood to Cleary ?

    The 70k is a factor but Tapine has more the attack and ceiling in his game, don't think we'll get that out of McInnes. Just my gut feel

    Just for me, if I get McInnes then I can use the 70k to go Hands to Api (would use all my trades though), so rather get Tapine and hold the final trade for another injury/suspension



    They do long pods so not up everyone's alley. Probably like 30 min TLT, 30 min talking shit about successful and non-successful yeets, and 1hr Q&A

    Simpkin on the bench a worry with Api now?

    Hmm maybe loses 15-20 minutes I guess. I’m likely sticking to the 1 trade though

    Guess Cheese is the other option in that price bracket

    Is it too risky using Hands as a looper?

    I'm now thinking it McInnes or Tapine or nothing at all

    Nothing at all theory
    My current 17th is iPap or Matto, one will start one is 17. Do the above players provide an upgrade? Annoyingly both play after JdB locks out, so there's no look and see option. But might be better to back then, wait for the next sell and package JdB + ??? > Yeo/Haas + ??? next week.

    A 788k red dot is probably a luxury most teams can't afford but I think I can get away with it

    I'm paranoid it is. Was looking at say, a Munster and iPap loop. But then Munster gets 70 and Hands is promoted to the bench so I have to play iPap over it.

    He's been named to start HK for NSWCup. Doesn't play until Sunday though if Arthur decides on a switch.

    It's basically so I can loop both Manu and Ted but playing late probably not worth it. If he comes on the bench, I'm forced to trade him.

    Can you use the JDB funds to upgrade a position other than mid?

    Having owned Tapine up until R20 before trading, I can't in good conscience recommend anyone buy him now, especially at 770k.

    His average with vs without Papalii is telling. 51.5 with vs 63.6 without in 5 games.

    Think I really just need a mid for squad balance.

    Bench is currently 3 halves, 2 outside backs, Hands and just 1 FWD. Plus JdB to whoever.

    I've owned Tapine all season and I agree with this post, he is excessively overpriced

    All you people who love your PODs should have a look at Lachlan Croker

    Would have been better 4 weeks ago at $150k less, but still affordable for a guy whose last 4 average is 65

    He’s one I thought of to get me through the bye rounds, but ultimately passed on him for Cook, and I thought about it two rounds ago, but Cheese had the dual and couldn’t pass on that.

    Oddly he's averaged MORE minutes with Papali'i playing

    Have a feeling Penis vs. Dragons will be the deciding factor..


    because he plays last of all.
