    Having a real purple patch for try scoring as well

    Was thinking of waiting till Sunday to trade JDB so I could see how Cheese and Nikora go but no one really appeals from those teams apart from Tapine or maybe even Ipap

    Being down to two trades,  thinking I'll hold JDB this week and see what pops up,  or what carnage we have next week. Particularly if I get a score tonight.  Someone care to check my loop?

    Grant
    Harris Haas JDB
    Fifita Hopgood
    Cleary Hynes
    Manu Ramien
    Ted Ponga Edwards

    SJ DCE Bateman Nikora

    HGraham Koula BS9 Null

    If BS9 goes well leave it and he comes in as my only bench mid. If Koula scores more,  swap Bateman and Hopgood,  and then swap Hopgood with JDB. Koula comes in for JDB who is now on my bench.  If both crap,  swap Null with Graham,  Null comes in for JDB on my bench.  Just need one of those three to score well and I can hold the trade.  Otherwise still have the option to trade JDB to someone in the final 3 games. Solid?

    Looks fine...if that was me I'd spend a couple of hours setting this up only to completely forget kick off times on the weekend

    Simo, Manu and Lemuelu. Would you play Simo over any of these two? 

    Lemmy feels like the safe 40 (80 minute dependant). Then it’s who scores this week out of the other two?

    I would probably roll with Lemu and Manu.

    Lemu safe enough (avg 45 in big mins this year?) if he gets through 80.

    Manu for bounceback factor

    Manu probably bounces back. I'd probably leave out Simo, he's up against the better defending edge of the Dragons. But it's all a guess really.

    Still thinking about Haas and Yeo for JDB. I guess there's a scenario that could eventuate where the Panthers have first spot locked up after rd26 and the Broncos are also locked into second. Both of them could get rest in rd27 in that scenario..

    Maybe just going McInnes/Tapine is the play, or I didn't mind what someone else was planning re waiting for Tino next week.

    Check my silly loop; (mainly typing this to try and make it make sense to myself)

    Grant
    Horse Hop JDB
    Bateman Fifita
    Ponga Cleary
    Lemmy Penis
    Avo Garrick Drinkwater

    DCE SJ Hynes Hands

    Ted Manu TVW Colq

    Now.......if both Ted and Manu kill it, I leave as is and pray Hands doesn't make an appearance.  If he does I'm fucked and have to trade him to someone playable around that price range.  Not ideal.......or a red dot.

    If Ted kills it but Manu shits himself, swap Ponga and SJ and put Ponga back to WFB and move Avo to 17 in place of Hands. (This would be the best scenario)

    If Ted shits himself but Manu kills it, swap out potentially Null and put Avo there.  I would then double trade JDB and Hands to my thinking of maybe King and JMK to avoid Ted's score.  Would then again move Ponga to WFB via SJ.

    I have a strong feeling both go 50+ though and I'm sweating all weekend on Hands. lol!  If Hands comes onto the bench though in the updated team lists I could I could play Colq in a pinch, he should be good for 30.

    I hope this is all correct.  It's risky AF but could potentially dodge two dud scores.

    EDIT: Actually, if the first one happens, might go JDB to McInnes and Hands to Kiraz.

    You could possibly trade Hands to Kiraz? A red dot this week but useful in the run home?

    If Teddy and Manu go well, you would get Colquhoun wouldn’t you as he’s only MID on bench to sub for JDB?

    Edit forgot Bulldogs bye
