Tell the big fellas to run really hard at the line? Tell the hooker to just pass to the next big fella?

Make a grand final in the last 4 seasons?

Well, shit. Can't afford a decent replacement mid without cashing out Salmon to a base price player. Do I just swap him for Cook this week?

True....the big fella's are better at the Roosters. In all seriousness the Eels haven't been the same team since they let Mahoney walk and that may not have been Arthurs decision.

I love a fallen gun but don’t have the good gut feel vibes with Cook for some reason

Thinking Joliffe to Max King at this point. Not super convinced of how consistent King will be but love that bye schedule.

Looking to trade Walsh to Kiraz for round 13 and 16 bye cover.

Would you go a week early with the round 12 match ups and Walsh coming off the knee soreness

Walsh against the Titans
Kiraz against the Dragons

9 trades left, should I panic?

Not that thrilled about the rd 13 jolliffe replacements , might just absorb the hit and go AFB

I'm not exactly comfortable with 16 left before any trades this week

I’m panicing with 13th !!!

Remember we get 8 more in round 20.

I guess it depends on how many Origin players you have
and how set for byes you are ?

A question on the byes,
Do your 13 need to be 13 starters. Or can they be in bench players too,
eg, if you have 2 hookers placing 13, can you get both scores if you only have 12 starters ?

Im at 12, pre any trades this week, and not feeling particularly comfortable. But likely planning on banking 3 this week hopefully, after non-stop injury related trading!

At least when we run out of trades the trade stress goes till we get more in RD 20 right?? Silver linings!

All have to be in starting 13 for RD 13, 16 and 19.

So like you say if you have 13 playing, but 2 are Hookers you can only play 1 of them and hence only get 12 players those weeks.

13 starters, no emg. If you have 2 hookers you can only get one score.

Thought it was the case.

I'd wait a week in case Kiraz gets injured this week. I'm trying to only trade players if they are red dots or likely to lose lots of money, Walsh is neither

Makes me feel better about the 10 I have left

Great bye schedule if he doesn't play Origin (hard to see him making it) but not sure I can bring in a potentially 60 minute Cook.

Does Erin Clark see an uptick in minutes now?

with the bye next week, I think its worth waiting but Erin Clark as Hooker/Mid round 14 onwards at 500k

Pahulu at 0.7 PPM if he can look to get 50 minutes then could also be someone to plug in to play all the major bye round after 13.
