80 points per game?

Semi-fantasy relevant - who is going to goal kick for NSW.

Maloney or Reynolds?

Both in good form, flip of a coin really.

So looks like Frizzell is 18th man with J Morris 19th man. Guess they will both be playing for club this weekend.
Don't know how Josh Jackson is even in the team let alone starting

i reckon maloney gets the job. has origin experience.

I thought Fifita and Morris were cover for injuries and frizell was on the bench

Graham
Whitehead, Fensom, ET
Hunt
Holland, Su'a
Semi, Guth, Feeney

Can't believe I made double digits this week!

Rest of the squad:

Smith, Friend
Burgess, Leilua, Nutira
Parker, Taupau, Harris
Taylor, Lamb, Cullen
Dugan, Benry
Barba, Mitchell


Actually not sold on the S'ua trade now. May only play that one game. Not worth a trade for a possible 25 points or so. :/

If people are considering selling Parker, surely the same thought process applies to Dugan. Going to miss a lot of minutes, and the big byes. Plus his scores aren't setting world on fire.

Almost certainly will only play the one game.

With regards to bringing in Elijah Taylor, I've noticed that the last 2 weeks he has played 70 and 71 minutes but both games were affected by major head knock injuries, firstly Farah (23 mins ) and Aloiai ( 5 mins ) and last week Ballin only played 5 mins.

With Woods, Farah, Grant, Lawrence, Aloiai, Taylor     Seumanafagai, Sue, Ballin, Lovett, Halatau and Sironen

How many minutes would E.Taylor be getting each week ????????  Not sure about bringing him in.

Why trade Carty?

I'd say he would have gotten 80 last week if not for the head knock.

Not that he'd necessarily play 80 every week, but I think he'll be up for big minutes (especially if they keep picking Aloaia over Sironen)

At the start of the year I decided to run an experiment and set up a WAGs team that was constructed by picking the most top value players (literally the most expensive players available - ie not players who were injured/not playing round 1) possible while filling the rest of the squad with predominantly base price players (+ Barba & Cartwright who used up leftover cash when I couldn't get the next most expensive player). From that point I've been trading as I normally would (so no special restrictions - and I've made some pretty boneheaded trades), and thought it would be interesting to share how the team's going in comparison to my real team that was picked using "conventional wisdom".

The team I started with was:
Smith, Jniko,
Fifita, Gallen, DSaifiti, VLeului
Parker, Mannering, Cartwright, JSaifiti, Bhana, Welch-Nichol
Thurston, Hunt, Hastings, Taylor
Gutherson, Littlejohn, PatMat, Henry
RTS, Barba, Mitchell, Feeney, Eden.

After trades this week:
Smith, Parcell
Fifita, Graham, MCooper, Felise
Mannering, Surgess, Whitehead, Taylor, Bhana, Welch-Nichol
Thurston, Bhunt, Hughes, Littlejohn
Croker, Aitken, Gutherson, Scott
Radradra, Barba, Mitchell, Eden, Feeney

Current Rank: 3879
Trades Remaining: 18
Bank: 11k

Compared to my main team:

Current Rank: 1933
Trades Remaining: 15
Bank: 4k

It'll be interesting to see which comes home stronger.

Is it worth bringing in Croker now of had his price just about peaked? Aitken, tui, holland, and Guth are my current centre. Want to get rid of tui soon.

I want this to be the case but are you just guessing?

Ma'u over ET if it potentially gives me loophole option in minor bye rounds too?

Loomer wrote:Ma'u over ET if it potentially gives me loophole option in minor bye rounds too?

Would you keep Ma'u for the whole season, or look to upgrade after byes are finished.

And if upgrade do you have enough trades that you'll be able to do this no problem?

Personally I think ET is the go.

Loomer wrote:Ma'u over ET if it potentially gives me loophole option in minor bye rounds too?

I'm getting both and they can consider themselves on trial until the end of the byes.
