thinking jdb & parcell to friend & i dunno ...maybe kbromwich or whatever 290k would get me

If you can wait till round 13 then yeah go for it. Hopefully by then he will be a tiny bit cheaper plus it'll be good to see how he goes with Pearce being back in a larger sample then the one round we just had. After round 12 he's a good hooker to pair with Smith

I suppose I have to keep Peats now, eat those two donuts in 12/18 because I'm keeping Cam of course, and hope this saga turns him into a fantasy gun to offset the loss of bye coverage. Bah.

with Peats off to the Titans, best bye hookers is now probably Friend followed by Lichaa and Hodgson

Luckily I had my NPR Taylor sitting in my halves so cashed him out for Lamb...which then allowed me to go Gordon to Munster.


Booozecluez how do I add my team to the scoreboard?

That's exactly the same two trades I'm thinking about doing. I'd still have Mansour but whatever.

Assuming Tedesco misses origin 1, but is back playing before origin 2, what odds he gets picked for NSW for games 2 and/or 3

Is Peats even going to play this week? Where will he play for the Tits, given their captain is at hooker already? Do I have to burn a trade for nothing to get in De Gois? BAH.

Fox Sports reports Peats unlikely for this week but will be named for R11.

Also reckons Friend would move to the bench or get dropped, or maybe Mortimer to be dropped. Yeah dunno about that.

feel sorry for friend, bit of a confusing signing i reckon

It was a nice week off last week, time to get back to business...

I've started to look at Vai Toutai as a possible alternative. Frees up $125k and he might get games when Jennings is playing Origin. Should make some cash and then dump him after Origin. I've got 24 trades going into this week so I'm doing OK for trades I think.

Hey mate, sorry but you can't unfortunately. They are our official seeded leagues and entering posters mid year has caused confusion in the past so we sign off on them as final at 1st Lockout.

Next year you can jump in when we open up registrations . A couple of OG Sportal legends missed the cut off date as well and couldn't be entered.

Isn't Friend Captain? Are we going to see another Crocker situation-the greatest decoy Captain of all time?

Hopefully Taylor takes notice and sends Halatau back to Ressies. Love the bloke but he is holding a couple of youngsters out of a spot.

what do people rate Tolman's chances of playing origin? I remember seeing an article about him being a smokey a while back. Surely there is too much quality in front of him?
Woods, Tamau, Fifita, Merrin. Gallen if he isnt at lock. Maybe even guys like Klemmer. And if you want to blood somebody new, surely Jtrbo or Ryan James? Way down on the pecking order, I think.

Ok, I convinced myself. Tolman is not playing origin. I am getting him.

Would be few injuries before he gets a start. Allthough not sure if you needed answering !!!

Let's just put your 18 trades in perspective.

You have 7 players that absolutely, 100% guaranteed will be in your final 17.

If you use 2 trades to bring a cash cow in and out again, then 9 of your other 24 players are in it for the long haul.

Are you happy for that to happen?
What  if one of them gets injured?

Are you playing H2H or overall this year. If H2H you'll also need to save trades for finals

Hmmm cheers Milch,

I play H2H but try my best to do well in overall, always aiming for a top 1000 finish.
Are you suggesting i stop trading in cows now and start to milk and upgrade?

Sorry for the milk pun, and by my surprise i have 20 trades, forgot to reverse my last uddea

keep your grubby paws off Tolman
