Be interesting to see how Koni goes at the Titans.

I really want him to do well but it's possible he's going from one bad environment to another. :-/

Happy that he's left the Warriors though, pretty clear it wasn't working for either party.

for what its worth the titans have really turned things around onfield. aside from the match against melbourne they have been a side thats competed for 80 mins a game almost every other game this year. they could have had a few more wins if they had the polish that some of the better teams have.

if hurrell buys into the way the team are putting in effort week in week out then he could go really well. i think he'll have to earn his spot in the side too as macdonald/hoffman/davis/etc have been putting in solid efforts of late.

He just wants to hang out on the GC, bro.
Greg Bird has the hook-ups too. Red bull and tramydol is old news.

Do I trade in Milf instead of DCE? He could reach his BE this week against the Pussy cats.

I'm expecting him to smash his BE after last weeks performance.

If you are needing a back up Captain anywhere in the next 6 weeks then DCE is probably the go. If you are looking for a Loophole Captain anywhere over the next 6 weeks then Milf is probably the go.

Why not both. DCE, Hunt, Milf and Norman would be the strongest halves I've seen all year.

I see you going for the milf rather than the cherry

Whats Ado-carr's security like? I assume its no good as he'll make way for Rankin when Teddy comes back.
I'd like to bring him in for Lamb with a BE of -17 this week but I suspect it would only last a week anyways.

He had a great game with his debut if I remember rightly and couldn't keep a spot, so he'll be out next week when Teddy is back.

Just worked out a way to get in DCE, Milf or SJ and Tedesco. Would leave me with...

Smith Friend
Fifita Graham Jtrbo
Surgess Whitehead Fensom Cartwright ET
Hunt DCE MilforSJ Norman
Aitken Holland
Tedesco Radradra Mitchell

Do I go for it?

Nah, don't do it. Give the rest of us a chance.

Who would you be trading?

That's pretty much the ultimate team right there.

Great team!

I would go for it because I did. I want the final 17 as quickly as possible. Start smashing out some scores of 1000 every week is the dream. The dream being the operative word.

Only missing Milf out of that lot and could get him in. Shame the rest of my team is a steaming pile of shit.
For loopole I'm V'ing Bunt with the C on Norman.

Your team makes me sad....

I've gone with trading in Graham just for the extra captain option.  VC on Milf and C on Graham.  Don't trust Fensom, Lowe or even BJ.

Who is the best FR cashout, Ese'ese, JJ or Kafusi?

Getting Graham means my team looks like;

Smith (Parcell)
Fifita Graham (JJ, Leulani)
Surgess Lowe Fensom (Carty Bhana Benry)
SJ Milf (Feeny Hughes)
BJ Claw (Holland Guth)
Munster Radradra Barba (Mitchell Mansour)

Getting there. 18 trades left.

How many trades will you have left once you get that team? If I were in that enviable position, I'd be looking to upgrade Holland, Mitchell and probably Fensom before getting Milf or SJ. Milf or SJ would have to be in your team every week (so you average out their peaks & troughs), which would mean you'll have Norman and probably ET warming the bench.

.

Ideally your cashout will play during the bye rounds, and then never again (don't want a crappy AE hanging around)

For these reasons I don't think JJ is a great option (but ese'ese and Kaufusi also have potential issues too)

If I were to go with the team listed above I would have Norman and someone else in my NPRs each week (probably ET or someone) basically there in case of a late withdrawal or something so I could switch them in. At that point I would have 9 trades left to sit on, basically in case of any mass injuries.

Fuck it, Im not going to win the comp so may as well have some fun.
