With QLD injuries, Hopgood is almost a certainty.

Fuck it. I’m selling Cleary.
Cleary, may, Chester to hynes, Garrick, weekes

Currently looking at TMay+Talagi > Plath+Armstrong. 3rd trade will be Smithies, but can't decide between Jolliffe and Brailey

TU: Jolliffe
TD: Brailey

Well those are some very fun players, so you have nailed it! I will 100% be suckered in by Watson if Radley is named in the second row.

Edit- I think a poor showing from Teddy at Suncorp is going to force everyones hands. Folks will tell their grandkids of a $490k Tedesco

A $490k Tedesco that missed origin and went on an all-time heater over the origin period, free from the shackles of captaining the blues. It will be a tale for the ages.

I'd be shocked if Hopgood doesn't make the origin squad
I'd be surprised if McInnes does

Are many considering letting Armstrong go through to the keeper? I feel like these kinds of guys (Armstrong, Atkinson, Talagi etc) are the kinds of cows that I get huge FOMO on. Happened to me with Taylan a couple of years ago, and burned me pretty bad. Now I feel like I take a swing at every single one for the fear of missing an easy 300k.

TD: J Brailey

Brailey a solid 10-15 points undervalued, clear choice imo.

I've got the same backline as you manly, and considering trading out Kris as well. Are you worried about trading out a R13 WFB when you will only have 1 left? Or is that a thing you'll worry about closer to the R13?

I may go for points this week and still grab him next week for Kris if he performs as good as last week.

I think he is as easy a cash cow as you can get. As long as he is dominating the kicking he should make 200-250k just in base

But through excellent squad management I've locked myself out of grabbing him until after the bye so will be paying an extra 40k

A dominant half that may have goal kicking playable at WFB is a fantasy dream

Brailey is a hard one for me. I see the 10 points in value and decent scoring as well as the 150k in price rises that probably shouldn’t be ignored this year. But getting him and Armstrong gives me 4 Knights on the bye in Round 12 and I’m not sure I can cover that. 

Also I don’t want to get rid of any of them if Armstrong holds the spot down and performs well

Could help my team balance I suppose. Bring in another MID with some cash for the future.

Frustrating to sell-buy-sell though

As long as I can keep making the trades I want while holding Cleary he stays in my squad.

I still think he is the best player in fantasy

I've gone with Armstrong because I think he is a pretty good footballer with decent job security. I have also missed the dud cows like Talagi with my only trade in that needed to go back out so far being May (not counting Campbell who was due to injury)

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that makes 300k but should be good for 150-200k, plays round 13+14 in a position where most have immediate coverage issues due to excess Raiders

happy b'day MS you are a true champion

cleary out what a bummer dude are you soft nathan...the old timers will be turning in their graves lol
to be serious nathan is not soft & it's impossible for dead people to move once dead.

i own cleary will hold for this week...there are more urgent issues before i deal with cleary
