If you go to Panthers v Titans late mail I'm thinking of this trade:
V. Leuluai out & Fisher-Harris in
JFH seems to have a foothold in the starting 13. Will wait until final team lists come out of course.

Do you like the trade.

Chucking a curve ball but I wonder how Grevsmuhl will fit into the panthers lineup

Good point mate. Might back off that trade as JFH could revert back to the bench so it seems risky.

What is everyones plan with barba? not the best bye schedule, but also one of the better wfbs (41.1 avg)? radradra is the easy option but I will use mansour to get there. There is also a sneaky barba to norman or mbye, neither of which I feel are keepers. And finally there is matterson who is a bit riskier, and will most likely cost 2 precious trades to milk. I guess i can worry about it next week

That's a hard one but the way I look at it is that Barba plays for a team that's 2nd on the ladder & really playing well & dominating so he's bound to get plenty of attacking opportunities so I'd be inclined to keep him.

Barba's a keeper for me.

When Teddy's back, my backline will be - JRob, Aitken, Munster, Barba, Tedesco.

Other than those guys, the Raider's trio seem the only other worthwhile options, but their Rd. 19 bye is the killer for me. Will be without Tolman, Fensom and Teddy as it stands, so pretty much any other Raider, Cowboy, Tiger or Bulldog is off-limits.

Thanks for your vote of confidence!

Check out the not so worthy thread. You nearly got abused.

Bah, Fensom didn't travel. And Pauli coming onto the bench for the Knights, what the fuck is wrong with Bhana, he's miles better than Pauli Pauli.

I've done Hastings to Milf, but thinking Hunt now.

My other half is SJ, who should I go with?

Ive taken a punt and gone Hastings to Matterson. Leaves me with 19 trades.

The cash I get from doing that will let me do Parcell to Friend in 2 weeks time.

He's not scoring as high as he should seeing as his team is doing so well but I will keep him simply due to a lack of stand-out options.

I have Dugan, Semi, Mitchell and Benny boy. (Dugs in my centres).
If I had the cash to upgrade him to Munster I would probably do it even though it would cost me a trade when Slater comes back and imaginably, Cam's scores drop off.

Semi seems to have come right. Has only scored below 50 once in the last 4 games.

I got
Croker Dugan
Munster Barba Mitchell

but im thinking of turning Barba to Tedesco when he returns.
Also I will upgrade Croker to Harris if he gets DPP.
Anybody who does not get Harris in the centres, whatever their keepers there already are, is a fool.

Hunt for consistency, Milf if you want another boom or bust half to complement SJ. I think it'd be a real roller-coaster time with those 2. Could combine to score under 60 together just as easily as they could get nearly 200 combined

barbas never going to score massive because he isn't a worker.

in a game where both barba and say, teddy, have equal ' bulk attack plays', barba will score 55 and teddy will score 85, because teddy picks up all the other base points from generally working hard through out the rest of the game

imagine if teddy played for a decent team..

Slater is out for the season, is he not?

Croker would be a locked in keeper for me, even as a third centre.

Yeah, this is basically exactly what I thought of too. It's a tough call actually, seems like it's Milf's breakout year though.

Slater not coming back? Munster for season keeper it is.

No question really.

I like how the page updates that somebody has made a new post when I'm on mobile.

Very nice.
