I traded in Manu for 654k Rd 5. Take out the 79 at FB one game and still avg 53.2 in 5 games

I don’t think Alamoti is quite at Manu tier

I probably should have said except for the elite ones. I’m not sure Alamoti is in that category

No ofc not, but I bet you didn't know Loomer got Manu at 654k Rd 5 and averaged 60 or whatever since.

I don't think 501k is overpriced for his tier. Why is not in NZ at 501k?

This was harsh

I dunno Tay May is about 500k and nobody was rushing to bring him in even before this, don’t see Alamoti as a buy in that range either. Kinda hoping he can average mid to high 30s just to BE long-term at that price

No I didn't. Fuck off popping up having a dig at me on a regular basis

Game 2 round 11, it was 17.2 at the completion of round 10 from memory.

I don't mean to pry but it appears who you'd like him to go away in the first instance and then to keep popping up to dig at you. sounds kinky

My first real loop decision. I don’t fancy taking Hughes 39 and did well to bury Burbo’s 33

Played him over a benched Waddell and KPP. I don't have the opportunity to take it, but I think I'd roll this dice on beating Waddell's 39

You're welcome.

Your efforts were greatly appreciated

Still going back and forth between Fainu and Matto.

Pros for Fainu:

- Cheaper
- Better JS, safe as houses at least as long as Bateman's out you'd imagine and he had the spot before that anyway.
- R16 & 19
- No byes between 14-25 is very nice for navigating Origin
- 6-8 points of value based on a small sample so far, with more upside than that

Cons for Fainu:

- Likely have to use 2 trades on him
- Could end up not quite making enough money and not quite scoring well enough. Could see him having maybe 6 points of value which probably isn't worth the trade.
- No R13.

Pros for Matto:

- More upside. Best case is he ends up a keeper. Even as a 50-70 min edge he averages 45 which is 7 points of value and probably hold-able as an 18th man.
- R13 & 19, covers the more urgent R13 need.
- Lower ownership - pro and a con I guess.

Cons for Matto:

- Don't love the R20 bye, lots of Fantasy relevant Sharks and Eels might make that tricky.
- JS risk, does he stay starting?

Anyone wanna settle it one way or the other?

TU: Fainu
TD: Matto

If you had to twist my arm, I'm leaning Fainu right now just because of the Carty threat. But the upside is so much more tempting for Matto...

I don’t own him. Be less wild next time

The 8 extra trades come in R20 don’t they, and not sure Matto a keeper so can sell on that bye

Not sure if I can help separating as own Matto and plan on buying Fainu

Taylan and Tohu officially cut

Tohu out, D Walker lock. Roache added to the bench.

Sorensen bench ah man

Alamoti or Tago?? I won't keep a woman basher in my team....

KPP starting. Friz bench
