Don’t we get 8 more trades in round 20. Would be hoping not to get burnt by another Haas knee injury.

In a non-fantasy viewpoint With the amount of effort he puts in each game, I reckon it is a real concern he could end up like Taumalolo later in his career with defective knees.

If you forecasted an end of season team (probably not achievable), how many trades post Origin would you be looking at. Origin in bold and potentially Origin in italic. In reality, there will obviously be sacrifices/cheaper players but a lot of Origin players

Grant
Yeo Haas Jolliffe/AFB/Tohu
Fifita Crichton
Cleary Hynes
Manu Aitken/Gagai
Edwards Latrell Drinkwater

Robson/Mahoney Hopgood SJ/Moses Jolliffe/AFB/Tohu/Carrigan

I'm trading Cleary to him

- MIDs are awful this year
- I had already planned to hold an origin player in that slot
- I have more cash than I know what to do with

Fair. Do you have Carrigan though? I do (started with Haas and traded him to Carrigan after injury) and - given Carrigan isn't really a sell over Origin given the Mid shortage you mentioned - it seems a bit much to have two Origin mids from the same side.

I don't have Carrigan and agree it's one or the other

I have this exact dilemma - although a couple more 40s scores and he’ll be getting shopped if it makes sense.

That is an impressive EMG lineup

Last week's whipping boy Waddell has been replaced by Piakura

Piakura in 18 and Salmon in 19 thanks to a double loop

Does mean playing Armstrong and trading Papy to Fa'alogo but I'm not unhappy about it. Let's go Knights/storm!

Anyone out and I get Piakura's Ayrton Senna

Chances of the bunnies finally getting a win this round?
Chances of the ref being blamed if they don't?

Did I see some chat earlier about rts being out?

Should I run with 16 and trade Berry to Fainu

Or trade RTS to Fa’alongo and play berry?

I really want to get rid of berry and RTS can wait a week until he becomes Weekes next week like originally planned.

I feel I’m not missing too much in points trading berry and not running a third WFB

I think he’ll blame the ref even if they win

“We did it despite Sharpes best effort for us to lose”

Hurt at training - out indefinitely

Nikora and Bateman sitting next to each other looking mighty solid in my team. Just like 2019 except they are in my EDG instead of my CTR

Cheese finally gone

I have Piakura at 18 but if Cheese is out then i might need to make a knee jerk trade to avoid that 10. Always wise to burn a trade to avoid a poor score.

Should at least find out re cheese by 2pm today

Everyone seems so reactionary and one week score focused on here like never before. It's pretty much the number one don't do of fantasy. Trades are not infinite.

I was mostly joking about having to use a trade.

Although ive been tempted to grab Moale anyway. Alternatively could do Cheese to Tedesco and hope he misses origin.

But i agree, probably should suck it up.

Already went sideways with Terrell to Matto. Got sucked into that one

Roger a trade mate.

Lussick only 3 points off my predicted 40 bounce back, not the worst.

No, nothing u ever say. It's the one week score take, it's insane. Adamant to bring a certain player in, make the trade, player scores sub optimal. Damn, he's out next Monday morning. Or a player is flying and all the rage, one week scores maybe 5 or ten off their average, he's gone next week !

Exactly. He might still be worth riding out for a while if carty comes back and hands is pushed out

As revs said trades are not infinite
