Graham
Whitehead, Fensom, ET
Hunt
Holland
Semi, Gutherson

and possibly Brock Lamb, unlikely Feeney.

Anyone who has fewer?

Is that before trades or after?

Before trades I'll be lucky to have 8 too.

Feeny possibly another run at the back with Gagai out?  Oh wait that mamo will be there, bastard.

I've taken it upon myself to formalise the Carter award with an Honours Board. I'm not sure I got all the recipients correct but if not its easily corrected, just let me know.

I'd go ET over Ma'u. Ma'u has been VERY inconsistent. Ive only held him this long due to his good byes. His 75 last night was an anomaly.

Agree. Allthough Mau seems to be guaranteed 80 minutes; we don't know what will happen with ET long term, even though he is an 80 minute player. We did lose 2 players in the 1st half. In saying that, Taylor is priced around 40 points so you can't go wrong.

Mau's byes are a pretty big upside though.

Holy shit!!! That is awesome. I think maybe we can pin this to the front page of the next thread going forward. Nice.Fucking.Work.

Allthough you spelt Bruce wrong...

Is Greg Eden playing BRL or injured does anyone know?

team using two trades (bring in Aitken and a cash out (likely Asiata..)):

hodgson
graham (C)
ET (VC), Fensom, Whitehead, Kenny Edwards, Asiata
Norman, Lamb (if fit)
Aitken, Gutherson, Holland

I also have Feeney but theres no way he comes in.

yes. he and maranta will be on the wings this friday, with kahu to fullback.

Two trades this week - BLaw and Carter out for Pauli & ET. Though would it be better to just take the cheapest FRF downgrade that's playing and likely to score ok (eg Ese'ese)?

Team for the week:
Graham, Grant, Pauli
ET, Whitehead, Mau, Bhana*
Hunt, Mbye, Norman, Lamb*
BJ, Holland
Gutherson, Bowen*

So between 12-15 depending on team lists (+ minuscule chances of JLJ if Taylor drops Moses for being a speedbump and Tedesco if he has a miracle recovery).

Sweet, cheers mtb.  Surprised he still has 20% ownership but I figure a lot of those teams would be not playing anymore.

I am looking at Arrow as well like we discussed a few weeks ago.  He suits my team make up-cash out rookie price and may only play 1 more game.

EDIT: I'm not bringing Eden in this week, he has been languishing in my WFB since Round 1.

two of keegan hipgrave, jayden sua, and tevita pangai will debut for the bronx on friday. not really fantasy options, but will be interesting to see these guys get a run.

Eden has been playing for Wynnum Manly as a fullback lately. On team lists they are calling him Gregory Eden now

Nice work @bluetige - surprised that Mitch Rein isn't up there more.

Why Woods at this stage beaver? He will only play 3 of the next 6 for you from next week I think? We lost 2 early this week and he looked like he was really staking his claim for Origin (he actually offloaded and shit ).

JTrbo

Very few QLDers on that Carter award board.
