Keep in mind the Rd 19 byes for H2H. Tolman and Graham will both be out, so make sure you have coverage.

Seeing a few other teams that are holding guys like Gutherson, Gordon, Norman etc. for byes, but are looking thin for Rd 19 with a few Bulldogs and Raiders, and are looking to trade in Teddy and ET who will be out as well.

Actually that's quite helpful thanks. With my planned trades I will be cutting it very fine. Let me do this again, reversing trades, what would you guys do?

Smith Parcell
Graham JBrom Blaw Herman
Surgess Jturbo whitehead Cartwright Aubbs Fensom
Hunt Norman Hastings Lamb
Holland Claw auva'a Benry
Munster Barba Mitchell Guth Feeney
19 trades left 164k

I've been looking at your team for a bit now. I would lean towards barba to aitken, maybe Cartwright or blaw to ma'u? Purely from a bye perspective.

I went mansour to aitken, blaw to mannering instead of mooper. Mooper may perform well, but the talk on here put me off a bit so I went with mannering. You might do the same as well.

Don't forget to look at byes at the end as well

Sharks, Panthers and Roosters players all very valuable after R15

Round 11 Write Up

It's only the first three games as I ran out of time tonight, will post the other 5 most likely tomorrow night if not at the very worst Friday night.

Good stuff HS, can't be easy supporting a shit team like the Knights that let you down each week until eventually all you look forward to is Ricky's pressers... oh.. Fuck. .
Well anyway, my point was, thanks for the laughs once again, works well with the to help forget about the previous week of footy.

Marketo a good trade option for spare cash?

Was thinking the same thing.

Am I also crazy for looking at Bateman now?

Marketo will get dropped when J. Thompson comes back so is a trap.
Bateman will revert back to the bench when Fensom, Soliola & Lima return.

Yeah, I knew that, was just looking for a hidden cheap option somewhere haha.

I want to get rid of Fergo this week, who do I get, Aitken, Semi or ET? Or just hold and potentially get 2 of them next week.

Ferguson b/e 28 playing Bulldogs
Aitken 329k, b/e 28 v Souths
Radradra 354k, b/e 14 v Storm
ET 359k, b/e 57 v Knights

To me it's a choice between Aitken & Radradra & I would go Radradra just as long as he doesn't play origin. I'm in a position where I have to hold Ferg this week but I don't mind as with a b/e of 28 he could still make a little cash before I offload him.

I don't think Semi is able to play origin is he?

I might just hold Fergo too this week and use the 3 trades next week.

Does anyone else see Semi as a must have this week?

Thinking about Bateman, you would assume papalii would get picked. What does this mean for him during origin? Soli to frf maybe, not sure if it means more or the same minutes really...

I think I'll have to give Semi a miss. I'll trade ET for Fergo next week to get Claw down to my Centres, cause in my backs I already have BJ, Fergo, Hollan, Lolohea, Munster, Barba, Mitchell, Mansour and Guth. No point trading Guth to Semi I don't think this close to round 12 is there?

As a cash out option with some possible bonus bye game, Toutai or Phillips?

Phillips purely on $$ and the fact I can see at least one of Hopa/Morris being selected. Also the more definite black dot down the track with less chance of a AE from him.

Though Toutai should get game time with Jennings playing origin? (Though the chance of Foran returning soon)

I was looking at those exact two last week. I went with Toutai though. Nothing wrong with grabbing Phillips, I was lucky enough to grab Toutai last night before he rose another good chunk. Not too late on Toutai though, but Philips is cheaper obviously.

Trust your gut.

Just keep in mind there's a pretty high chance Foran plays this week.

I'm looking at Phillips. Might even replace Feeny with him next week.

There's a rumour Hastings has been dropped & Matterson will play in his place. This will mean I'll have to play Gutherson unless I trade out Hastings but with the Roosters playing the 2nd to last game it is a problem as it won't be confirmed until then.

I posted my first GIF!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what the fuck it is as 1 of the kids clearly dropped it on my desk top, but fuck me, this is a momentous occasion.

@SI . From one computer retarded gimp to another, this is massive. Also, with the byes looming do you have any tales of meteroic success through this period to inspire others like myself who are having horrible seasons???
