Yeah because I'm low on trades and half my squad is injured or suspended

Neillo wrote:Any reason to keep Holland now? It feels like he's peaked and not really a keeper either - BE 41 this week

Thinking of trading him for Croker or Aitken (my other CTR is BJ)
Aitken has the better byes but Croker looks to be the better keeper

If I did Croker would be left with $127k and 16 trades

Holland makes for an extra player during the bye round though at this rate I might use the spare cash to upgrade him to Leilua because fucking hell everyone's getting him now and I'll be damned if I miss those 10 TB's a game.
Croker and Aitken both play two bye rounds so it pretty much comes down to who you think will score better in the long run.

Aitken seems to be a little more consistent, however Crocker can go big if the raiders go big.

"The second-most popular captaincy option in Fantasy in Round 10 was Corey Parker, who finished with a very underwhelming 27"

That says a lot about how many serious players there are in the comp.
Parker probably not in the top 10 options for captaincy this year, let alone second choice.

holland, davis, hurrell, kennar
inglis, munster, tedesco, mitchell, feeny

198k in the bank.

im tempted to bring in leilua and aitken at the expense of holland and tedesco.

or hastings to daly cherry evans?

any thoughts

That is a great looking looking pack, and depth to boot!

My personal thoughts:

I would hold Hastings over the DCE trade another week and see what happens with Origin teams/injuries.  They both have reasonable BE's of 44 and 43 respectively.  You have a decent bank so if he costs you 10-15k more next round then it's not the end of the world.

Your Centres are the priority in my mind.  With some bad luck on team lists you could be down to ZERO centres!  I would hold Holland as he is the most secure of the 4 (and still not 100% secure) and target Aitken over BJ.  He is 100k cheaper than BJ and more consistent.  Based on history Leiulia goes through patches of form and could well be terrible in the next month.  For those who got him early well done but for those looking to buy him now then buyer beware.

If you do go to Aitken then you need to work out who for.  You have 3 centres all at the same price to cull.  Kennar is in and out and not sure how much longer he is injured for?  Hurrell could well be carving out some decent scores in a month's time if you believe the Titans switch rumour.  Davis is in and out and could even make way for Hurrell (do they play on the same side?).

With selling Ted, he may only be out for another couple of games so personally holding if I can as you want him in your final 17 if possible.

Broncos forum - both Glenn & McCullough trained strongly this morning. Both are set to return against the Cowboys.

Titans v Roosters changes:

Could I please get an analysis of my team and how bad it's looking? Well I'm still top 2000 but the gap between my team and the good teams is massive from where I'm looking

Smith, Rein
Graham, Fifita, V Leuluai, J Turbo
Gillett, Cartwright, Surgess, Matthews, Aloiai, Benry
Hunt, Hastings, Lamb, K Niko
Holland, CLaw, Scott, Gutherson
Barba, Mitchell, Roberts, Tedesco, Feeney

Sold B Law for Matthews this week. 151k in the bank. Was thinking of trading out Gillett for Whitehead next week but good point was raised about Soliola's absence potentially affecting Whitehead's scores. Also thinking of tossing out Aloiai for Asiata just because Aloiai's going to start losing cash now and he won't be worth selling soon.

Kennar was apparently a possibility to play last start. I think he will technically be fit this weekend, but will be competing with a fit CScott for Hampton's injury and Cheyse Blair may retain his place. Also, Harris

I think Davis just nailed some job security with Mead out for 6-8 weeks.

thanks lots to think about.

Right, so Evans with a BE of 50 and R12 bye is for the cull. Can't see much coming through in the FRFs though. Priest?

ET vs Fritz - taking into account the difference in price tag who would you guys go for?

Hey Gents

How many guys carrying JDB and Marty Taupau :-(

If Taupau gets 3-4 rounds (sounds like its a certainty ?) I think he will get the chop rather than JDB.

My intention is to have Napa in the front row along side Graham so my FRT/2RF would look be Napa/Graham/V.Leulual/Pauli and Whitehead/Surgess/Cartwrigt/JTurbo/blaw/JDB manning 2RF. Sound sensible ?

My only problem is that Napa's numbers don't quite machine up with Bromwich and Fifita at this stage.  

So question is...if you can afford Bromwich and Fifita would you even both with Napa who is 30k cheaper and has better byes ?

Also looking forward to see how many minutes ET gets next week

I am very interested in ET but will be waiting a week to check minutes, not sure if you have that luxury.

I believe his BE is 57 this week so could possibly be cheaper next week.

Teddy and gutherson >> Aitken and Tohu this week I think

Assuming Tohu gets his dpp

Yup, if I was gonna go with ET it would definitely be after next week. But assuming he becomes an 80 min guy (which he pretty much always was right??) then how do they stack up H2H?

Tohu played in the second row.
He won't be getting DPP this week, unfortunately.

Probably just going to make the one trade this week. Cullen -> Milf. $68k in bank/21 trades remaining after this trade.

Think I have a good all round side but lack the big gun in Smith/Friend and maybe a bit stacked in 2RF.

Oh wow, haven't seen the Mead news.

Tigers byes suit my team make up so will have a good look at ET. Up till ET started last week I was set on Friz. In saying that, he only got a start with Ava a late injury.
