    He should PM each of us a different name and the one that gets to the discord group will identify the culprit.

    Kinda funny being secretive about a trade in fantasy when it’s a game of prediction/luck dependent on the player’s performance 

    The only time I’d be secretive on moves is if you’re top 5 overall or something like that

    I don’t know what the fun pick is that’s the issue!

    Basically whether I go Twal to Nikora or Carty or whether I go down all way to Sharpe. If I go Sharpe and he’s out at round 19 I guess I can pivot straight to Marzhew but it would burn 2 trades. Two more 40 scores from Sharpe though is 110k…. I have 5 trades left.

    Maybe smarter play is get Carty or Nikora and wait for more sub 350k options.

    What would you advise mate?

    Shocked

    it's obvious

    Mate I have just concocted the best move I’ve come up with in years I won’t reveal yet though I’m so proud of myself for coming up with it that I actually had tears in my eyes felt like I’d won the lotto. Some will say stop being a wanka but that’s me I wear my heart on my sleeve and I’m bloody excited. You’ll be a proud older brother when ya know what I’m doing and you’ll say yep all those messages etc weren’t for nothing you’ll be proud on my mindset Wolfy will be too and we will celebrate this move together best fantasy move I’ve done in years you’ll agree too and the forum!

    I won’t give up never say die COOKIE’ COMIN BABY!!!

    Reason I won’t reveal yet is I have a bet with someone in LMC discord whoever finishes lower in overall with me and Ric (arch rival and Tigers fan) needs to do a video singing the opposition team song to one another! They’re all barracking against me but that’s what Cookie does he thrives when people come at him. Reason I can’t reveal is there are spies reading my every word on here. You see I live in some of their heads rent free they’re obsessed with me what’s that saying oh that’s right rent free in their heads………….

    My guess is the beach sprinter...
    I tried to coax him into getting Bryce, but it looks like he won't listen

    Worth noting Hopgood is technically not out for the season. 12 weeks means he could be back by the 2nd or 3rd week of the finals. The Daily Tele journos kept acting like they have a Roosters level roster, so I’m sure they will be there

    There’s probably 5k serious players that are considering all possibilities, another 5-10k very active and maybe another 20k after that active but casual enough that they are mainly doing the obvious but sometimes doing some really random shit.

    This move from Rabs21 has not been considered once by these ~35000 players

    I don't think there is a golden ticket trade... it's a continual string of good decisions that can define your season

    I got a PM saying he was going to trade in Hynes and captain him. What did you get?

    Kalyn Ponga is back running on field as he continues his rehab from a Lisfranc injury + surgery (via Newcastle Herald).

    Knights are said to be aiming for a Round 20 return, though Ponga is privately hoping to be back even sooner than that.

    Covered just how likely a Round 19 return is for Ponga over on Patreon - past recovery times, where he’s at in his rehab, how the surgical technique can help speed up return to play, and ultimately how this affects Fletcher Sharpe as a SuperCoach buy.


    Anyone got the NRL physio patreon to save Rabs haha

    In hindsight:

    Some bad trade decision I made

    Chester in - round 7
    Waddell in - round 7
    Piakura in -round 8
    Cleary in - round 8
    Jolliffe in - round 9
    Bateman in - Round 10
    JDB in - round 13

    Some good trade decision I made

    Haas in - round 11
    Fifita in - Round 11
    Wishart in - Round 12
    Teddy in - Round 13
    Koro and Uto in - Round 14
    JC in - round 16


    I dropped out of the top 100 around round 8 back down to the 900s as I made a few bad trades.
    Some better trade decisions in the last 5 rounds, plus good bye planning have seen me crawl back up to the top (113 OR atm)

    At some point, I’ve found myself in all three of those categories.

    At least with tonights game being 10PM NZ, we will see the 24 hour cut for all of tomorrows games beforehand.

    Joliffe, Cleary and Bateman all got injured .

    If you're doing trade reviews I think it's important to distinguish between bad trades and bad luck (although the 2 aren't necessarily mutually exclusive)

    As did Chester. Like previous seasons, my bad decisions have been based around keeping players much too long(Cheese, Kris), letting go of too early(May, Strange), or thinking they’ll be fine cuz they are likely to backup after all Origin games(Grant).

    I’ll also add in players traded in because of a role change and/or expectations that came with it(Koula, Mikaele).

    yeah maybe I should have called it a "trade that didn't work out"
    As many on here I've copped my fair share of injuries/set-backs this season:
    Luki, Piakura, Cleary, Hosking, Murray, Rapana, Burbo, Fogarty, Chester, Papy, Bateman, Turbo, Cleary, Jolliffe (trade-outs)

    and more recently Teddy's origin call up, Fifita & Garrick (holds)
