Is it worth holding Hynes over Piakura an extra week until we get more info? You can still do the same trade ins and it won't affect your RD13 numbers.

Thanks mate good spot

17 trades including +8 for 14 rounds means I probably need to evaluate who I think are season holds and actually stick to it

HOK: Grant, Hands (cashout)
MID: Cotter, King/Plath (Plath for DPP)
EDG: (Blore?)
HLF: Brown, Galvin, (Hynes - likely to trade to Fifita, keeper for keeper)
CTR: Manu, Aitken, Iro, Garrick
WFB: Kiraz

Missing pieces:
HOK: Mahoney/JMK
MID: Haas, Yeo (1 of?)
EDG: Hopgood
HLF: Cleary, Hynes
CTR: None
WFB: Latrell

Cash cows:
HOK: Brailey
MID: Fainu, Hughes (to Twal in 14 as fringe keeper)
EDG: KPP/Blore
HLF: Wishart
CTR: None
WFB: Weekes, Armstrong

Good analysis mate, I was really hoping to hold Hynes but with the sky high BE I think I will trade him next week if he doesn't back up.

On your missing pieces I have the exact same players on my target list with Latrell likely my Hynes trade next week. Then Yeo (already have Carrigan so don't want Haas) and Hopgood I'll pick up after Origin and then I'll decide what the play is regarding Hynes/Cleary. Do the Panthers wrap Cleary in cotton wool heading into the Finals.

I think I'm going to miss Grant this year and just run JMK as my season keeper.

R13: 696 (rank 855)

Pretty good R13 overall, though Sunday game killed my rank with May and Drinkwater feasting and Manu with one of his worst FB scores.

Had some thoughts of holding Hynes due to comparatively average team value (13.195m) but not being named means sell to Fifita locked in leaving 8 trades and 351k bank to upgrade Hughes 

In terms of bye planning my numbers currently are:
14: 17 (Hughes to be sold)
15: 19 (King and Kiraz)
16: 12 (short HOK, oversubscribed if I buy any other position)
17: 19 (Fifita and Garrick)
18: 19 (Plath and Aitken)
19: 11 (short MID and WFB)
20: 18 (Hands, Iro, Brown)

Targets for Hughes at 756k max largely between Latrell and Twal. Twal still a raging buy at prop? They both leave me oversubscribed for 16 but help for 19

It seems Twal doesn't like wearing the 13 on his back. I have a sneak feeling he will play the big minute tackle bot role in the middle even though he has the #10 jersey. That's just my personal opinion however, nothing to back that up.

No Klemmer, Bateman or iPap for the next few rounds means at least in the short term he should be a good pick.

Final trades looking like
Hynes to Fifita (c)
Armstrong to Latrell 
Possibly Hughes to Randall/Clark (fills HOK gap in 16 and MID gap in 19). Leaves 4 on bye for 17

R14: 877 (rank 453)

Basically halved rank again which is good, although Monday’s scores pretty underwhelming.

No real trades required with pretty tame TLT, and only trade in consideration is Brailey to Sharpe if benched again. Brailey and Hands in loop, considering Iro also instead of Hands but risk of Lussick rejoining bench is enough to loop.

Team (6 trades, 2k ITB)
Grant 
Plath Cotter Fainu
Blore Fifita (C)
Brown Weekes
Iro Aitken (VC)
Manu Wishart Latrell
Garrick Randall KPP King
Hands Brailey Galvin Kiraz

R15: 717 (rank 821)

A shocker where I failed to count to 5 and left myself with 16 players, although if KPP returns to start next week and Brailey is benched it potentially works out. Trade last week was Brailey to Sharpe.

Down to 12 players after having 14 on Sunday with Latrell and Garrick out. Possibly considering a Garrick sideways trade to another keeper playing 16 and 17 (Teddy/Tapine/Mahoney) to get 13 this week and easing up on R17 pain with 4 on bye + Cotter and Grant backing up.

Plans in near future are Cleary, Hynes, Hopgood on watchlist for Weekes, Wishart and X (Fainu/Randall). May need a sideways funding trade like Manu to Tago 

Team for 16 (5 trades, 297k ITB)
Randall
Plath King Fainu
Blore Fifita (C)
Galvin Weekes
Kiraz Aitken (VC)
Manu Wishart

(Grant Latrell Garrick KPP Brown Cotter Iro Hands Sharpe)

R16: 704 (rank 894)

Played with 12, everyone did pretty well barring Manu and King 

Have 17 green dots if Cotter and Grant back up with KPP benched. Can’t really be assed with Knights EDG rotation anymore so looking for KPP replacements being a final gun or cashout 

The options this week are mostly on bye playing in 19 or Origin guns with Hopgood (cut price keeper) seemingly gone for a while. Looking at KPP to Yeo (c) with 297k ITB.

Final team trades would look something like this:
Wishart (approx 620k) to Cleary (approx 835k) around 19-21
Weekes (approx 620k) to Hynes around R21 (preferably post cash loss for Hynes)
Manu to Bostock/AJ for 19 (cashout with JS) in R18/19
Randall to cashout (Sipley?) in 20 
King to Murray post R20?

Order of above could change to improve R19 numbers

Leaves team post 20 as 
Grant
Yeo King/Murray Cotter
Fifita Blore
Cleary Hynes 
Iro Aitken
Latrell Kiraz Garrick 
Galvin Brown Plath Fainu 
Hands Bostock/AJ Sharpe Cashout

Edit: KPP starting and Cotter out means selling Cotter. Probably means extra trade in short term as KPP job security is dicey as fuck but potentially hoping I could get through to R21

R17: 802 (rank 931)

Somehow lost ranks with 17 players due to an array of shit scores. Final trades were Randall and Cotter to Jensen and Watson for 17 players. 

Have lost Manu to injury, Grant rested and 2 dolphins bye (Sharpe bench)

Plan to cashout Manu - question of whether to go for R19 number (Johnston) or better scorer when starting (Starling) - potentially determined by Hands score first up. Would need different WFB cashout then and probably stump up for Koula (again)

Need to look again at post R20 plans

Team (156k, 3 trades)
Grant*
Watson King Fainu 
Fifita Blore
Brown Galvin 
Garrick Iro 
Latrell Wishart Kiraz

Weekes Jensen KPP Aitken*
Manu* Hands Sharpe Plath

The Grant resting is annoying for you but think he is a hold with Hands playing RD18 and RD19. Think it's worth paying the little bit extra for Koula over Johnston whilst still leaving enough bank to grab Hynes/Cleary.

Updated rough plans (3 trades before 20, 156k before trades)

R18: Manu (600k) to cashout (Starling 326k)
R19: Weekes (605k) to Ponga (750k)
R20: Brown (620k), Hands (400k), Sharpe (360k) to Cleary (860k), Morrin (252k), Hayward (332k)
R21: Wishart to Hynes 

Team at 21:
Grant 
Watson Fainu King
Fifita KPP
Cleary Hynes
Aitken Kiraz
Latrell Ponga Garrick 
Blore Galvin Plath Jensen 
Iro Starling Cashout Cashout

R18: 940 (rank 1019)

Bit of a meh week below average due to no Teddy/Wighton/Koloamatangi but still had decent scorers across the board. Annoyed in a way that missing Hynes doesn’t really change things with him injured and loads have Hughes who is clear 2nd best option now. 

Ended up doing Manu to Mahoney instead of cashing out to Starling last week upon news of Latrell injury so will be cashing out Latrell to Gray this week. I’m a bit sus on his overall security with Latrell not yet undergoing surgery but will be #21 for me 

Have 13 this week after that trade, but realistically like 11.5
Hands
Fainu Jensen Plath
Fifita (c) KPP
Brown Galvin 
Aitken (vc) Iro
Sharpe Gray Garrick

Plans (2 trades, 44 ITB)
Latrell to Gray R19
Weekes, Brown, Sharpe to Cleary, Murray, cashout 
Wishart to gun WFB R21

R19: 661 (rank 796)

Pretty solid bye round regaining a few of the recent rank losses but injuries to Aitken and King scuppering the fuck out of my plans. Pretty much can only trade red dots or benched players now so going to hold Brown by the looks of it who has been lazy.

Trades going for players with 0 byes left
Aitken (gone for season) to Wighton
King (6 week injury) to Cleary (C)
Sharpe (dropped) to Campbell

Will loop Weekes, Gray and Blore. If Weekes fails, bring in Gray. If he goes well, watch Gray also and choose to swap him in for Blore or not

Plans after this round
Wishart to Yeo
Weekes to Olakau’atu following R22

Possible luxury trades
Hands to Guymer?
Fainu/Jensen to Ponga?

Team (6 trades, 210k)
Mahoney
Watson Fainu Jensen
Fifita KPP
Cleary (c) Galvin
Wighton Garrick
Campbell Wishart Kiraz

Grant Plath Blore (Hands)
Weekes Gray (Brown Iro)

R20: 912 (rank 611)

Captain Cleary, Jensen and Blore leading the pack of a shitfest of 30s

Weekes to Yeo locked in as trade leaving 18k and 5 trades. Wishart Plath and Hands on the chopping block but 30k short of ideal trades

Wishart to Starling this week. If I went Hayward/McLean instead can easily afford
Plath to Curran this week
Hands to Ponga next week

Final team after these (2 trades)
Mahoney
Yeo Watson Jensen
Fifita Blore
Cleary Galvin
Wighton Iro
Ponga Campbell Kiraz

Garrick Brown Grant Curran
Fainu KPP Starling/Hayward/McLean Gray

BCT05 wrote:What about only Plath to Curran, hold Wishart this week and then Wishart straight to Ponga next week?

Essentially saves using a trade going from one cashout in Hands to another cashout which doesn't really need to be done?

Good shout, was on assumption Wishart is benched which leaves funds really tight (699k left to trade Wishart)

Obviously if Munster drops out, definitely holding Wishart

Wishart currently in my loop and will see Fainu’s score (will be out Friday night but should have 1/2 hour before 8pm)

R21: 1006 (rank 669)

Pretty average week despite Cleary ton. Regretful in trading Plath to Curran instead of Fainu to Starling due to fear of only having 1 MID cover. 

Likely only 1 trade of Wishart to Ponga. Just short of Jensen to Murray which would be a nice upgrade. Have a fairly strong emergency but probably 1 trade short of being able to downgrade upgrade to a few positions 

(3 trades 18k)

Mahoney
Yeo Watson Jensen 
Fifita Blore
Cleary Galvin 
Wighton Iro
Ponga Kiraz Campbell 

Grant Brown Curran (Garrick)
Fainu KPP Hands Gray
