7/10 trades used 49k left

What's the thoughts on Tedesco this week? Too pricey or a non factor? Got more than enough cash to do a DCE to Tedesco trade and with the way he's scoring I think I'd prefer to be on that train rather than waiting for it down the track.

Does Ma'u usually play 80 minutes in back row, or is it due to an injury or something else?

All 4 games 80 this year and the majority 80 last year. Upping his 2015 average by 10 has been a real surprise because of that. I wasn't sold on him till this week. With byes starting to loom he is tempting.

Getting Teddy now is expensive but he's gold. I can't see him scoring badly in a game unless he gets injured.

What are the chances JNiko starts from the bench again with Guerra at 5/8?

Fair point but is a good chance for origin so might miss a few games. Though you would sit on him for this period
Hardest part is finding the cash for him

Bad luck for last week by the way, you even got a mention in my blog too

Not sure whether to trade this week or not.

Smith Parcell
Graham Surgess Jtrbo blaw
Merrin whitehead jdb cartwright carter jaifiti
Walker Hastings Barba Taylor
Aubbs Claw Auva'a Benry
RTS Gordon Mitchell Guth Feeney 0k left

I'm happy to hold Jaifiti for another week or two, will hit his BE from the bench, but if carter is named on the bench I think he's a trade? probably would downgrade Carter to Holland via Benry.
Otherwise I'm considering Merrin to Fensom or Mau.

Thoughts? Anything I'm missing?

Would you play Holland over Gutherson?

Are you talking to me or just in general? If the choice was to play one of those, I say Holland, but if I get Holland, neither will be in my 17 barring injuries

Thoughts on Jnikto to Auva'a (via feeney) & Jaifiti to Graham/Ma'u/JDB?

Well Auva'a is only in the centres until Johnston returns and then he's back to the bench presumably so see what the diagnosis on Johnston is. Otherwise solid trades

I have been concentrating on league 2 mainly where I have somehow managed to jag 4 wins with my mediocre start to the season, then realised that regardless of league finish position overall score matters for league positions next year haha doh! So will be putting everything into turning the kung fu benders' over this weekend mate! Let's gone Ravens'

I bent the panda over in Bullbender's league last week. It wasn't even hard.

Way I see it there's 6 games between now and the first bye round which leaves room for some good scores I can't ignore and well Daley might hold off on picking Tedesco until Game II or not at all. I mean the guy wants Josh Jackson as his workhorse forward in the middle, not exactly the most astute selector.

I reckon there's a fair chance. Kucky it's a Friday night game if you are looking at offloading him this week.

I need to renew my Excel so can't access Milchy's stats sheet.  Have you used it?  It's a Sticky at the top of the main Fantasy page and should show what happened last year when Soli was out.  I had Fensom and I think he only had a couple of games of 70 plus at the back end of the season and I think that was from in game injuries to others.  Either way check out the spreadsheet.

Do you want it saved as an older version and sent to work ?

This time last year Daley was saying there were 3 blokes in front of Ted. This year Daley has pretty much said both Ted and Dugan will be picked. If he does it will be for Game 1 you'd think.

Much like the Wests Tigers wouldnt you say? Unlike Wests I had more then 400k sitting in the bank and one of my better players out injured.

I would love a version for home and if it was emailed to work then I could transfer it to my lappy for home? I have 2013 at home and like 2009 or something at work . Would an older version have the functionality?

I actually LOL'd at this.

LG has been doing a great job keeping this rolling. As Sash said yesterday, it only takes a minute and most of us watch most of the games every week:
