I’d wanna see a bit more from Brailey he downdated from 46 to 42 in 80mins and he might come off 70mins in some weeks. Not an urgent trade

Pray to the fantasy gods everyone else is named 

If Hands isn’t on the bench you won’t consider holding Lussick another week?

I thought he looked pretty good mate. Was trying to make runs and was very involved. Will get better and better post injury

Can't reliably play him. Parra bye coming up. Might as well upgrade him if you don't have more urgent trade outs.

Have you seen my team! I’ll take a reliable 40 from someone under 500k.

My 500k+ guys struggle to score that

Brailey is on the plodder end of the spectrum no doubt (for fantasy) at the moment, not one for attacking stats these days, but I got him satisfied with 40pts in tackles and RM and anything else will be a bonus. Cheap and plays rd13 was good enough.

I really don’t want to make 3 trades this week but with all the leaks it’s gonna be tough

Same here bro, but I do think the bye period this year won't be as destructive as last year as quite a few of the teams that play 13, play 16&19 rather than last year when it was basically complete flips of the team.
Given rank is so poor atm, going to keep trading and chasing and having fun. Booze style baby!

809 and looks like I'm getting the chocolates in L5 and bringing Aardvark a much needed 20 points.

Will probably be trading Gutho/Hutch this week, and maybe Talagi depending on TLT.

Will need some cheapies.

Think I will wait on Lussick, as much as I wanted to trade him on Saturday night. If he is named and Hands remains out of the 17, I will probably just hold since Brailey hasn't shown he will be that much better and there isn't a huge difference in price. It was just a terrible game for the majority of the Eels.

Will the Eels remain this terrible is the question.

Manly, bye, Broncos, Storm in the next month. This will probably be the last hurrah if they are named at TLT.

Possibility that Gutho is rested this week so he has 2 weeks to heal up? Hands could come in for Lussick?

Does anyone else consider guys like Yeo and then see his amazing scoring and think to yourself: Yeah but as soon as I buy him he'll score low 50s for 4-5 weeks, then go play origin.

I think this season has hurt me and I need to see a fantasy therapist.

Hey @my tv broke are you able to add the SAI stat to the player profiles on FS? They're on the game stats page but not the individual player pages.

How many emails did this group send out over the weekend? Wake up to see the Sharks/Cowboys updates have yet to be added to the scores.

Has there been anymore chat about Jye Gray from the Rabbits? Would be a good fit for my side (need half cover and need a cash cow) but really hesitant to take a punt on someone without decent job security.

Yeah I would 100% go there if I knew they were going to move Latrell to centre and keep Jye at the back. 

I’m having trouble believing it, they absolutely lose both of those games against the Storm/Panthers and then Latrells back for the shake up

Whenever I think about typing Latrell my first thought is latrine.

Because he’s poo

Yeah this is a tricky punt to take at this stage of the season, maybe go for someone like Weekes for now and pick up Jye when there is a bit more certainty
Some of the Bulldogs cashies should be ready for milking in 2 weeks time

Haha Latrine Mitchell has a ring to it..

Probably only one trade for me this week, Ponga to Grant.

Reasons why:

* I have a strong WFB line even without Ponga (Papy, Turbo and Bostock, plus RTS and Kris at CTR who I can move down and Iro to cover the CTR spot if I move them), so don't necessarily need a WFB right now

* I only have one hooker and he's not exactly a keeper (Cheese), while Grant is the best hooker bar none.

* Grant's bye schedule is good over Origin (byes rd 13 and 19), and he has a history of backing up (did it all 3 times last year and played 70+ mins each time).

Team right now:
