Been playing for 10+ years, I don't know the long game at all

I think I was first invited to play Fantasy in 2015, so coming uo to 10 years too.
Still end up being a total trade-whore and finishing the season somewhere between 2000 - 4000.
The holy grail for the Budgers is a top 1000 finish.

What are people doing with Seyfarth? Is he an immediate trade out? I brought him in for R2 so I feel a bit filthy considering moving him on already, but the minutes etc just didn't come to fruition at all.

All the guys I potentially would loop are playing the same game (Bulldogs v Titans) which is a little annoying.

I think you probably should. He is benched and will likely just lose more cash. If you don't do it now it's only a matter of time you will have to use that trade down the line.

I would have started with Lussick over Cook if there had been no Hands on the bench RD1.

TU: Shut up idiot
TD: I like it

I don't know if this is good or bad for you but I am selling this week for similar reasons and a Lussick/cheese owner
Might grab JBrailey soon too if he has a nice recovery and drops in price playing off the bench for a few weeks too

Edited for getting the wrong brother from the same mother

Updated team for this week with more fun sprinkled in, 80k itb

Lussick
TMay Cheese Curran
Piakura Smithies
(C) Hynes Cleary
Strange BTrbo
Teddy Papy TTrbo

Rapana Galvin Salmon Chan

Levi Wong SHughes Cotric

Added watchlist notes on team tracker for heaps of players of interest

Best WFB up to 555k anyone? Bloody Tommy breaking after one week means I need to go shopping for a WFB again………..

Haha, I don't think there are many of us, mate.



I was 100% certain I was going to trade him out in the first 15mins or so of the game on the weekend. No one hates these quick turnaround pointless trades more than I, but sometimes you just need to call it and this is an obvious one to me.

If I'm being honest, I wouldn't be completely shocked if he makes his way to a late 20's or 30 on the weekend, but that doesn't really clean up the mess anyway.

If anything it rewards those who took risks early

Some here started with Lussick, or stashed Galvin in R1, or got Body Slam last week

So this week they can get someone else

Who should that be ?!

A no trade week feels icky

No cover this week? Seems possible he might already be back next week, which doesn't help you much if you need someone this week. But he could be a hold if you're thinking of moving him on straight away.

Bloody hell, I just looked at the options under 555K and I don't even know what I'd do there.

I hate it two weeks in, but Tuaupiki is almost the best option and just hope CNK is still out for a while longer? Like I said, don't like the option at all but there's not great alternatives.

Maybe Koula is second best of a bad bunch? I dunno, don't like any of the options.

I'm in need of a WFB this week due to Kris HIA so got lucky with getting both May/Galvin last week. Now everyone gets them this week at a higher price

I was sad about missing Lussick this week, but did allow JBrailey to enter my head (assuming you mean J?). They could be about the same price next week, which is annoyingly when I'll need a hooker the most (Storm bye).

But JBrailey could be a very juicy price in a couple more weeks. All dependent on his ability to stay uninjured, though.

Tmay is close enough to a season. It's Autumn.

Yeh I know mate, all good. I meant for me, everyone is all Lussick but it feels ugly.

The consensus seems to be on lussick but I really feel like taking a shot at someone else seeing as I picked Robson to avoid the grant bye. If you had about 720k and wanted a different pick who would you look at?
I like Curran and am not too fussed on position as they'll be 13-17
