BLaw seems to get rotated each fortnight between the bigger minute prop and the small minute guy.

Do I go BLaw or Evans?

I'm confused. When's the Broncos game tonight?

I managed to ship Evans off for Mooper last week. Toss a coin mate.

Evans will be handy in 15 and 18, if you can afford to hold him in the mean time

I'm starting to like the way my team is shaping up.

Need a few cows to kick on and I'll be laughing shortly.

Smith, Parcell(cc)
Fifita, JBrom, Evans(cc), Blaw(cc)
Surgess, Whitehead, Mannering, Frizzell, Bateman(cc) Green(fuckwit)
Hunt, Norman, Hastings, Lamb(cc)
Bird, Holland(cc), Davis(cc), Auva'a(cc)
Barba, Tedesco, Gutherson(cc), Mitchell, Feeney (see Green)

Bold - Keepers
Bold/Italic - Potential Keepers

I've only got 19 trades left so I will need to be very careful when I make these trades in as cashing and upgrading is going to cost me 18 of those trades.

I think I fucked up haha.

Same.  Lamb gets the 16 jersey and Gutho gets the pine.

I'm convinced!

First season, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how do you work out your are gonna use 18 trades to do you upgrading?

I'm sitting here looking at my team and trying to figure how far up shit creek I am in terms of getting my full team together. I've got 16 trades left after this week, 7 or 8 CCs to be milked (potentially) and at best 13 keepers (but in reality probably more like 11 or 12). From what I can see I am resound to having at least a few mid range guys like Ma'u, Hodgson, Norman, and perhaps Barba come the end of the season given how few trades I have left.

How many guns do you look to have by year end? 17?

any thoughts on Jack Gosiewski as a cash cow, or had this already been covered

Could be worse, you didn't fucked up as worsely as I did fucked up!

Smith, Friend
Graham, Surgess, Leuluai, Nutira
Parker, Whitehead, Taupau, Fensom, Carter, Jaifiti
Hastings, Taylor, Lamb, Cullen
Dugan, Holland, Hunt, Benry
Radradra, Barba, Mitchell,, Gutherson, Feeney

18 trades left which means 1x trade each to downgrade Hunt, Jaifiti and potentially Lamb followed by upgrades to Carter, Barba/Mitchell etc. Have $400k in the kitty from selling Teddy at least but probably going to buy him back at a cheaper price. If he loses $100k then that's worth the trade.

My maths wasn't on this morning, I was doubling the amount of cash cows I needed to milk when that's not the case. My bad, you're right. There's 9 potential cows to milk in order to get the money. so 9 trades there and upgrade maybe 6 or 7 players.

Ideally I would like to have 18/19 players that are guns in case of injuries but who knows what's going to happen.

I have BLaw and $109K and one possible trade this weekend, Lamb already done.

Would you sit and wait or upgrade to another ?

OK cool, that makes sense. So I have Parcell, BLaw, Jaifiti, Lamb, PatMat, Bowen, Gutherson and perhaps Scott) so 7 or 8 trades there to upgrade at least 4 but hopefully 6 guys. So thats 14 of my 16 trades...I'll need to pretty much go injury free at that rate. You thought you're fucked.....

I'd go Grant, potential for bigger minutes. I still have Blaw but probably not gonna play him, his lack of minutes is pissing me off.

He is a little unknown, but I think he is covering Grevsmuhl long term.

Better than having someone like Hymel Hunt sitting in your line up unused or Ben Henry as a red dot right?

Or perhaps even Jazz Tevaga for a little more cash? How long can he hold out Isaac Luke? and Isaac Luke is on the bench in any case

I'm not a fan of reading people quote themselves, it freaks me out.

Having a look at Barba's run home the Sharks are going to towel up a few teams so I think he is a season keeper personally. Just wish Maloney wasn't so bad at tackling otherwise I would get on him too.
Makes the theory of Wade Graham ending the year well gather some momentum, might be worth the pickup in round 16.

Also, surely Rapana can't keep this up surely. Says a non-owner who is envious of those that have him. On the plus side I do have croker, leilua and whitehead.

a haaaaa

To be fair they played a Sunday game last time out. Surely they need a few more weeks to acclimatize back from that far into the weekend.

How many whitehead, leilua, rapana owners are there out there? They must be loving life
