Need to bulk out my mid, took the piss with a few too many fullbacks and last minute squeezed in hynes and it bit me in the ass.
Cheapies going low and the guns not firing and the tunnel looks bleak.
Anyways I enjoy a challenge from 73k overall and for the first time this year actually excited about fantasy again.

While I don't have huge faith in Paps/Rapana I need Pongas cash to combine with Cotric to be able to do anything with it beyond trading sideways

Could run it back with no trades but another red dot or 2 and it would be last drinks without Duncan
So going to take the lazy mid approace and get a couple this week.
2 scorers for the price of one

Out - Ponga+Cotric
In -   Smithies+Duncan and 55k bank

While I am in no way the Fantasy god you are Booze, my humble opinion would have been that dropping Ponga (of all the "gun FBs) at this point in the season is the best call. Max cash free-up, looking at a couple of sub 50s games as the Knights iron out the bugs.

I was forced into 2 trades (Lenny + SOS), so have picked up T.May8 + Duncan.
Probably gonna bite me on the ass, but what the hey, this is meant to be fun.

Would you trade Sitili or Hutch to afford Taylan May? Depth in my centres/wfb is no good in my team with Cotric not named and Melbourne bye coming up, so looking for a season keeper in this position. Would promote Flanno into starting half (good match up this week vs Dolphins).

TU: Sitili
TD: Hutch

I told you what moves in PM mate, Fog!

Yes guys that's right, it's time for me to announce I signed a lucrative deal to join the Rabbit's 8 in the off season, rumour has it I took @ytsb spot. Sorry mate I didn't want you to find out this way.

Forum nemesis: unlocked

@Ando I have been through thick and thin with Rabbits, ive watched him soar, I’ve watched him whore, and I’ve watched him roar (at the refs). We are the unlikeliest of allies, me a Rorter, and him a filthy little invasive species.

I will get my revenge, Ando, Mark my Zuckerberg. May all your cashies flounder like Gerrard Sutton after he penalises the South’s unfairly, and your guns lose their barrels. Rabbits will take me back.

Anyone playing fantasy AFL? The UI is bloody horrendous, enough to make me say too hard.

Neither?

You're switching out two cash generators that are playable in your 17, for another cashie who might only average 45 pts.
The forward rotation at the Roosters is still a huge unknown and while May has the talent to demand more minutes, it's not guaranteed. Even with Leniu out for 8 weeks.

Sitili could easily go 50+ points this week, if given the chance. His BE is only 34, even with last weeks flop. He should be able to get 34 points as his floor.


If you really feel as though you have to have May and there's no one else that screams trade, then go Sitili. Simply cause Hutch has done nothing wrong or unexpected and Sitili's role is the bigger unknown.

Vaguely interested in Pezet, but doubt I'll go there.

Pro - good player in a good side, 450s
Con - bye, 450s, probably needs luck to make real cash.

Yeah, pass.

The worst part of this is that his NSW cup highlights are only 1 minute long

The highlights video doesnt tell the full story. Ive just finished re-watching every game Talau played in nsw cup in 2019. He is my number 1 trade in. Many will miss him

Loved the rant, fucking amen brother that shit was hilarious!

Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it!

PS I'm referring to Panthers CTR May, not Roosters MID May

Nice Chewie. Wasn't pages 39-50 mostly Matt praising himself and bagging out others? Has NZ gone to sleep now? Is it safe to say, no one missed Seyfarth. We are all perfectly aware of Seyfarth. We didn't pick Seyfarth because he wasn't playing in rd 1. Seyfarth might not even start in rd2 for all we know. If Seyfarth does indeed start, he might get shit minutes. If Seyfarth does get good minutes he might still score shit, because well, he's not Haas.

If Seyfarth starts, and gets the minutes, and scores well, we all pick him up for not that much more next week. Well done, genius play.

I'm trying to keep it concise so can't fit everything in. Last thread was pretty packed with the end of round, lock-out lifting, and TLT

Ahh shit, my bad!!
I guess some of it remains, in the sense that neither are necessary tradeouts.
What is the current state of your CTR's and do you like FUN? TM4 could be very fun but its a lot of money on a position that already has a lot of proven guns at a similar price.
Personally, I would hold and wait a week to see what happens with Hutch and Sitili.

Edit: Disregard me entirely, I should have just read your original post properly. Time to go focus on work.

You mean Whirlwind?

In a similar position to LB with 21 green dots and hoping to hold. Moses is giving me a bit of grief though. If we find it that he's not kicking he becomes Fog. Problem is I think Moses will be a trade in target for people in a couple of weeks, which makes me want to hold.

All good bro!

Context in this situation will help better I think. See my team below:

Grant
Haas Murray Smithies
Wong Piakura
Cleary Hutch
Strange Turbo
Pap Walsh Rapana
Sitili Salmon Chan Kini
Levi Flanno Hughes Cotric

$240k ITB.

Looking for any suggestions - the obvious trade out being Cotric.

Anyone want to check out my team tracker and help with my trades.      

Pretty interesting week of options thrown up by TLT, these are the players of most interest to me I suppose.

KPP - Lucas missing because of concussion, if KPP keeps that starting spot he's a good buy. Can wait a week

Galvin - Cheap AF, nothing wrong with grabbing him now or just giving it a week to see what happens.

Seyfarth - Doesn't strike me as a priority buy. Average footballer. Another one you can wait on and see how many minutes he plays and whether he actually gets selected come week 3.

Duncan - I am more tempted by this fella because it looks like he can play football. If he gets 50 ish minutes he should go well. Again no harm in waiting a week.

Terrell - I just like him but who knows what happens with the Roosters minutes. I think he's good enough to be worth grabbing.

Then there's guys like RFM/McIntyre/etc who had a big week 1, but probably settle back down in week 2.


Kini is my only obvious trade. Guys like Sitili/Piakura/Wongy can probably be given an extra week. Rapana can hang around. Still considering Hopgood out, which also feels a bit silly.
