Not just you

Unless its Brandon Smith

Trading him in and out just comes naturally

It’s justified by the numbers, but the chance he’ll return to scoring 30’s is probably still there, even if it’s a low chance. Remorse would be high should this happen which is where the fear comes in.

Doing the LMC Q and A tonight will be up by tomorrow morning on Spotify anyone got any questions and I can try to answer them? Obviously low on questions at this time of year just have 2 so far.

I appreciate their input I was trying to conserve trades and Soro was a green dot.

Is it though? Koala has a second row average or 49 across his career and a 46 average when playing there this year. Plath has a 52 average this year and even though it's a bit blurred, 55 average at hooker. Is the trade worth based on averages 9 points? Depends how many you have to burn I guess.

I have 4 and just haven't really looked at fantasy this week to avoid temptation of trading him but my thinking is that trade will hopefully be more benefit come round 26 or 27. Hindsight will tell me which is right and wrong, but in all of that, if Koala dishes up a 39 this week and I'm injury free, I'll probably use one of those trades on him next week to someone else I can afford. If I didn't have Plath, I wouldn't be ballsy enough to trade Koala to him.

Good perspective.

If koala scores 39 and my opponent trades him out it really hurts my chances in my semi final.

Koala's elite level (before last week) really came out of nowhere, so I agree, seeing a 60 next to his name playing second row would be really surprising this week.  I just don't think trading him to Plath is all that wise.  If I were trading him to a tried and tested gun (Yeo, Carrigan, DCE, Ponga even), I'd feel much more comfortable about shifting him.  He still feels like subgun territory and Plath hasn't had the runs on the board yet to justify for me a sideways move also, but yes, there will be no surprise when he scores 39 and Plath scores 55.  It's a hard one, gotta go with your gut and depends on your squad and how many trades you have in hand.  Even with 4 trades, I'd love to flick him for DCE or Ponga but not sure I can do it this week. If you had 5 or 6 trades though, Koala to Plath probably would be okay if you're confident in the last 3 weeks and your squad.

Is it better to upgrade to a best 17 now or hold trades and keep value spread across the 21 for late season injuries and restings?

Why have my points and rank gains from the last 4 rounds disappeared?

Why did draft RFAs get decided on Tues 3pm when there was a message saying would be pushed back to Weds 3pm?

Soro to Ola a good trade?

What's with that bloke leaning forward and folding his arms?

Are they covering Mixer as well. I have a GREAT mixer question!

If it’s what I asked I won’t answer as I do not know the answer myself

My rank and overall score has shat itself to what it was a few weeks ago a mate has same issue

Just thought all my fans here would like to know I'm offshore fishing on mine and another mate's boat at Yeppoon for 4 days with the boys, with two overnighters. Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Pearl Perch heaven. 6 hour drive, but Fillets for months.

I'll post some photo's when I get back for you to enjoy.

Re Fantasy. Hey young Rabs....I'm coming for ya champ. Not too much coke over the weekend either please. No good for ya.

Too true, my experience with people who've been on the nose beers is that they like to talk at great length and volume about how good they are

Liam Henry is taking Liam Martin's number 12 jersey so I'm not sure that bodes well for him holding the position. Geyer is in Sorensen's 11 spot, I think Henry should be brought in with caution. This is assuming the numbers mean anything.

That never answered but often pondered...

How long is a piece of string??
