Needs to make his points from attacking stats which the Knights won't be doing

Thanks for the cash JFH now GTFO of my squad.

confirming fensom is good to go this week

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart says Shaun Fensom is right to return against the Bulldogs on Sunday.

wests tigers fans - any chance chee kam can lock down a position in the starting side?

Tigers players don't get rewarded for good performances and hence can be dropped as soon as an under performer returns from injury. I hope that helps

next week ill probably have this if i bring in mannering and woods
smith parcell
graham surgess woods bromwich
harris mannering whitehead fenson taylor taupau

Not currently but with my planned trades during bye rounds yes. I don't really like only having 2 half options so will ideally want to upgrade either Lamb or Matterson to a keeper reserve for the run in but it is tough negotiating that along with those slightly under gun status forwards I will also have as they will be so easy just to upgrade to someone like Fifita come round 18 (origin dependant), whereas I don't see the point in upgrading someone guaranteed to be in my 17 like McGuire to Fifita and burning a trade

I don't know they leave it until 5pm. I'd prefer a couple of hours during work time to study the lists.

Couple of hours to read team lists? QLD - the smert state. No wonder Inglis thinks a field goal is worth 2 points.

What are my priorities for this round guys?

a) Blaw to ET
b) Ferg to Aitken
c) Lamb to Hunt

I cant do all 3, by the time I get to the Lamb trade I only have 175 left which is a 380k half.

Thinking of going the following

Lamb - Hunt
Cartwright - ETaylor
CLaw - Aitken

Turn 1 keeper into 3

Will need to do some more homework but most of my cows have decent byes but need to be milked.
Ie Gutherson,Holland
Tricky balance to hold or get out when you are looking at say 50 points over a couple games but lose valuable money to upgrade others...

Looking at having quality over quantity for the byes


Edited: Haha wow at above, I know these are popular players but that's some funny stuff right there

If you go to the Warriors site, they still have the fantasy points listed for round 4.
I know how the site is run has nothing to do with the boys playing football but it just goes to show that the club is being poorly run right throughout the company.

Just had a play around, pretty crazy but don't remember having this sort of cash in previous years.
And still 2-3 cows could free up another 500k as well

Could roll this for a while if I trade Graham over hunt.
Though with Hunt in,Norman gets pushed back to NPR and gives cover to halves.
Problem is after origin choosing a team

Smith/Parcell
Graham/Surgess/Tolman/JTrbo
Merrin/Harris/ET/Fensom/Whitehead/Cartwright
DCE/Norman
Leilua/Aitken
Munster/Barba/Mitchell

Not that it means anything but the fox sports early mail states Feeny likely to be named as Lamb's replacement.

Says Ese'ese should go to second row for Gillett. That's sounding like a good cash out if that's the case.

Those hanging out for team lists can take a sneak peak on what to expect

The only trade Ive done so far is BLaw to ET. IF he's named I can go Mansour to Tedesco. Id love to get Semi as well but Barba and Mitchell still have stuff to offer.

I may as well hold Taupau and McGuire at this point as any trade through origin will be sideways.

Depends if you are more worried about cash reserves or points. BLaw to ET can wait more than the other 2 I reckon though.

Fuck it;

Blaw - Ese'ese
Mansour - Aitken
Lolohea - ET via Claw

Done. First time ever I've done trades before team lists, let's see what happens.

Munster cleared of serious damage, just a sprain, will play next round.

yeah i feel like i've got heaps of cash, but i assume alot of others are in similar position. i didnt even get on a fair few of the early cash cows.

got 150k in the bank atm and ash taylor, gutherson, mansour, and brock lamb to cash out.

So, only 1% that aren't cheats? Abusing a glitch, whether it's known about or not, is still cheating.

they had the opportunity to remove it before this year and didnt. loophole is fair game imo.
