    A few weeks back Woolie Bulls had 13 trades left, but really has struggled to make any headway at all.

    They'll almost certainly run through me, but pretty sure Booze is safe (being 350 points clear)

    It's tough to make many gains with all the gun squads around, so I suspect they probably wish they'd employed some strategically a bit earlier

    Hasnt been enough carnage has there.

    One or two outs per week on a bye or injury has been easy enough to deal with, most teams have decent depth to 19th or 20th man, and still a trade or two to spare with three weeks to go.

    Might all come down to what happens in 27

    Unless Presto unsuccessfully challenges I think I’ll risk holding him, as I’m still carrying Gutho, Matto and Hopgood and will need him in 27. I’ll be playing Graham this round with Haas out so not expecting much (probably a comfortable win in the eliminator for easytiger)

    I have to trade one of these guys to field 17 (got no centre cover for Lem, buying Suaalii), but which one should I sell? Only got one trade or otherwise I'd sell them both.

    TU: Kris
    TD: Hands

    I wonder if we'll get some carnage this afternoon? Seems a bit milder than usual this year. With Haas and Null out,  I intend to hold and loop Koula/Manu (hmm Ramien/Koula might be better??) and BS9/Graham.

    Up against Booze in L1 preliminary. Gonna need his Sharks to do well against my Cowboys which sucks.  And DCE. Good luck all.

    Would love if I could see Avo's score first and then decide whether to make a CTR trade but Bulldogs play last again Rolling Eyes

    Dropped back to 20th and 86pts off ET in 10th after last round. Set up well for rd27 with only Hopgood so it kind of makes me want to use one or potentially even both of my remaining trades.
    Carnage may never come so don't want to die wondering.

    Tricky though as there's really no clear cut trades. Can't afford anyone worthy with Lem alone so would have to look at trading Drinkwater or something. Maybe just DW to Garrick and then can loop Bula+Avo again this week (and hope for a better result than last week - surely Bula is due a good game).

    Edit - ah wait I'm an idiot couldn't loop Bula+Avo as I don't have a red dot WFB. Would just have to play Bula straight up.

    Yep not enough carnage is spot on. I'm still holding 2 waiting for the carnage but it aint happening... yet

    Playing Avo twice in two weeks whilst holding is getting harder and harder. No carnage this week and I think a few may be tempted to shot their shots next week

    I would prefer if any carnage could simply wait a week please

    Feels like the week to have a punt on a luxury trade.

    Got a feeling Cleary won't be rested (he just had two months off?) in the last round anyway. Might just be Eels players that cause headaches. Touchwood etc.. incoming injuries and suspensions

    At this stage I'm looking to loop between Bula or Graham & Avo for the 17th slot with Haas as the looper.

    Is the idea to trade Haas -> Tino if Bula/Graham score shit a mad one?

    2 trades left, got a 20 pt lead in a friends league which is worth about 2k to me and the guy behind has neither Tino or Haas, but 1 more trade than I.

    Does Preston throw away his rookie of the year hopes with the suspension as well?

    In the later match, Dolphins forwards Connelly Lemuelu and Kenny Bromwich failed head injury assessments against the Roosters with the pair immediately in doubt for Round 25.
