Nice

919 for me, basically holding ranks, from 237 to 234

Might have to use the last trade this week.

Only CTRs are Lemuelu, Penisini and Kris
so Palasia to best CTR I can afford, or if Preston gets suspended he can drop out instead
Means I'll be carrying Hopgood and Penisini into R27, but it could be worse.

Is it better to just play Simo this week and keep hold of my 3 trades to get rid of Cleary/Hopgood/Simo in week 27?

Assuming nothing goes wrong in the next two weeks?

Who would you trade him to?
With 3 trades left I'd be happy spending one this week if it gave a decent points upgrade

I think you have to play him this week and hope he can get a decent score.

Could also flick Lemu instead to afford someone better ? Eg Garrick/whoever

Eels play friday, unfortunately Garrick plays before then, but you could also trade Lemu after seeing what Simo scores, to someone who plays saturday/sunday

Simo will probably be back at ctr this week with ASSy into the halves to cover moses ?

I’ll have Lemmy out this week so pondering wether it’s best to just play Simo alongside Manu and save my trades, or try and find a better alternative

That was the original plan. Have a look at Simo and if he can score 30+ I’ll just take it and move on. 

Would be keen on Garrick but he’s outside of my price range I’m fairly sure.

I suppose I don’t need to get rid of Simo in 27 since he’s down in EMG anyway, would leave me two to hopefully use on Cleary/Hoppy.

Bit of a puzzle at the moment

Preston 2 matches with early guilty plea, 3 if he fights and loses. Might as well fight, I suppose, but not much chance of success.

There's really no point wasting peoples time and resources on fighting it for a guy playing for a shit team. No way he could put together an argument anyway.

I was all set to get rid of Penis but I might get rid of Lemmy instead. Miss the same number of games but wouldn't surprise me if Lemmy is given the next couple of games off given the amount of KO's he's had. Young kid with a decent looking future, is there really a point putting him back out there for 2 games with nothing to play for? Might as well sit him out, rest him and start training early working on his tackling techniques and whatnot.

*insert player* will head to the judiciary to challenge the hip drop charge

Yeah I think if Hastings wasn't injured, he could possibly challenge the grading, but seems kinda pointless. Might aswell let him play Rd 27 and still be a trade in option for Hopgood.

This might be an unpopular opinion, and I have no clue how Wayne deals with teams that no longer have a chance of playing finals footy, but if it were me, I shut down Lemmy for the remainder of the season. He’s had two head knocks in the past three weeks, maybe it’s time to see what other players can do/need to work on at a top grade level.

Sheesh the forum really dies out once people run out of trades & hope!

Poor round from me. Dropped back to 247.

Risking Avo over Bula again costly, won't be taking Avo in the 17 again this year.

Graham back this week will provide a much better 18th man with a hopeful 40 each week.

Hands on the block but also just a question of whether to save the 2 trades for any chaos that ensues over the next few weeks... low key hoping Eels change up their pack before this week, as last weeks was woeful

Nope, I literally just posted that.

I think he got off lightly with only 2 matches.
