If you had both Trbo and Papy, which of them would you trade out, assuming you were only ditching one of them.

Trbo has the higher BE, so if they do come back at a time when I have trades to rebuy, he'll be the easier one to wait on and get cheaper. But its a bit of a flip of a coin really.

Disclaimer: I sold Papy mid-round last week (after Manly had already played), and I'm selling T.Turbo this week.

However, to answer your question, if I still owned both of them, I would sell T.Turbo before Papy.

I got one poor score out of Taylan May maybe straight swap for Koula.

Thanks for the BE's Milch.

That's the one and only trade I have planned for this week (R12) AR.

Gives me 18 players for R12, 12 players for R13, and 16 players for R14, so still some work to do if I'm going to field 13 in R13 and 17 in R14.

How are your numbers?

P.S. Koula out, so that plan is a bust. I had 17 players before trading, but I'm down to 16 with AFB supposedly out, and 15 if the Galvin rumours are true. I'm going to do Flegler > M.King (being trying to work out how to get rid of Flegler for weeks) and hopefully leave it at that (I might have to accept playing with 16 this week).
.

Still in 6th!

I have 13 for R13 (Hynes and Angus will give me 15 if they somehow don't play SOO)

11 for R14 with 6 players backing up from SOO.. so will need to sort some trades to ensure I'll have cover.

Well I need a new CTR this week with Armstrong on buy and May being a dickhead.
So it will leave me with only 800 ITB but I think I'll just go May to Aitken.
I know he's probably at his top price but the consistence is had to ignore.
hhmmm, still not sure.

How many trades/boosts does everyone have left?

17 trades and 1 boost left.

20 + 1

I'm trying to conserve them as much as possible, but I have to keep trading to field a full team each round.

19 trades and one boost here. Not trading this week, will have to play Lussick if Galvin is out (AFB and Koula also out), but worth it to save the trade I think. Going to be a rough Origin period I feel

Kind of dirty on myself now as with Koula being ruled out I penciled in Kiraz but didnt pull the trigger, maybe work out long term anyway.

The scorers have Nicho Hynes on zero errors yet he kicked the ball out on the full twice. Those are errors, aren't they ???

Put the R on Lussick when it sounded like Galvin was out but then forgot to change it back on game day.

That's a very expensive mistake.

My memory of errors back in the old NRLstats days is that they were handling errors only (basically knocks ons/forward passes only) maybe Champion use a similar interpretation.

Sorry for my Alzheimer's but i cant remember how this week works? Only top 13 scorers count but you still need to select 17. So if i have no hooker is it the lowest scorer in my selected 17 or outside the 17 for my AE? Also with the 13 best scorers if u have 16 starting does it just drop your lowest 3 regardless of who the R is on?

Select 17. Best 13 count (any position)

Can get up to 1 AE using usual rules (lowest scoring player not selected)
For active players the AE is basically irrelevant, but for those who forget to update their team by lockout it may help give an extra scorer.

If you wanted to get hyper-serious about potentially gaining marginal advantage (and have 13 or less scorers) you could put your worst scorer outside your 17, then if he happens to get a negative score, it won't count and you can gain yourself a couple of points.

Thanks Milch sort of get it. So you dont need to fill every position? So for instance if i had 5 wfb scorers and no hooker id get their scores before i get an ae for the hooker? Sort of crucial for me in SC too which runs off the same rules as im still in the hunt despite a horrible last round. I have drinkwater there but want teddy but no hooker again but have shoes who would be ae under normal rules instead of 2nd fullback.

You don't need to fill every position.


So if you had 5 WFB scorers, but no playing hooker, you could name your WFB4 and WFB5 in your reserves and their scores would count if they were amongst your best 13.

and in SC if you have both Teddy + Drinkwater in your 17 they'll both count, even if you have no playing hooker.

Thanks Milch. The way i read the "Best 13" i thought as much but just thought it seems too easy not filling every position. Appreciate the clarification. Well no trades here this week then pending team lists
