I have a hard time trusting weather forecasts completely, but yes, there is significant rain forecast in Sydney on Friday.

I think like your team tracker a CTR downgrade might be the best way to it if you’ve got a mid range expensive CTR. E.g. Kiraz to Simonsson should free up 180-200k once Simonsson drops in price for fairly similar scoring which would assist a 600k-ish player to Cleary/Hynes

Yeah with CTR being so volatile it's the lowest risk play which is why I'm cutting Taylan to afford Hynes.

This week is so good for the game, there's 10 trade options instead of 2-3. Breaks the monotony!

If Shoes isn't starting I don't want to risk another of his dud scores in my 17 again so pretty much have to sell Chan which doesn't really bother me

Edit: lol hadn't seen previous post

I really want Dylan Brown, but I know Katoa or Curran is the smarter play for my team with the lack of depth on the Edge/Mid. Only depth I have right now in those positions is Chan and Hughes. I have a H2H I really want to win this week which is clouding my judgement I think.

What happened to NRL late mail Shoes will go back to the bench? Still seems trappy

My conundrum right now is that I have 17 green dots before trades and Sitili has to go for Gutho or Drown. Can move on Chan for one EMG, but can't find anyone I love. Curran means I end up with too many Dogs*, Blaize means I have too many Eels if I want the other Gutho/Brown choice next week. A MID would be ideal allowing me to loop Burbo and Shoes (currently shoes in MID spot in place of McInnes) and Chan out gives me 552k.

Options I've looked at:
Seyfarth
S. Fainu
and ...

Well that's it really.

Other option is I just risk it and run with 17.

*Nevermind - can't afford Curran with Chan - would have to be for Burbo leaving me with 17 still.

Some of the comments out of the Bulldogs in the preseason were that they had regretted throwing some of their young guys like Harrison into big roles that they weren't ready for last season, but that Hughes was ready for it.

Fainu getting the better minutes over Seyfarth, although he seems to have restored some faith in the coaching staff the last couple of weeks. The big difference for both is Twal back on the bench. Last week they didn't use 2 of their bench.

In that price range, look into Clark. Also dual HOK which is handy.

That trap was set about 4 rounds ago…..I can play shoes this week or else play…..oh

Won't Clark just end up back in his regular role next week with Liu back?

Palasia out as well until R8. With Tino out, just takes another MID to be out any week and he likely gets a big minute role.

You have to be careful, because internet fans of teams, particularly losing teams, almost always think that their young gun is ready for it

Mofo's role and minutes seems unusual to start the season.

Last year as starting prop, averaged 51 in 64 minutes.

This year with Tino gone, averaging just 32 in 48 minutes.

Will be watching him closely to see if that changes at some point.

In 2020 before the arrival of Tino, was averaging 55 in 60 minutes. Wouldn't surprise me to see him get back to that.

Community team seems to know who to trade out, but the trade in voting is close - so come have a vote

Palasia didn't play his 30 min role last week. Liu went from over 30 to 39 mins and is out 1 week. Been looking at Clark since 2 weeks ago and last week he only played 30mins. Genuinely interested what has changed beyond 1 week before Liu back

Sitili and Wong to KPP and Gutho.

Lussick
Carrigan May Smithies
KPP Salmon
Flano Strange
Burbo Kiraz
Rapana Pappy Ponga

Levi Shoes Talagi Gutho
Cleary, Piakura, Galvin, Chan 294k

Any thoughts?

Good trades mate you have the same 18-21 as me.

I’m looping him with Levi just to guarantee he doesn’t get close to my 17.

Agree that the easier path to team value looking like catching mid rangers with value, than the bottom dollar cows that are struggling, and that you dont necessarily want to be playing in your 17 each week.

Yesterday you told me I would need a bigger couch trading Cleary, now you're agreeing with the strategy.
