Micheal Luck, version 2.

Cracked up at the last Griffin reference JBG. Good stuff.

Parcell
Graham, Fifita (JBrom)
Mannering, Surgess, ET (SST, Gillett, Guerra)
Milford, Barba
Croker, Aitken
Radradra, Mansour, Mitchell

Rein, Hughes, CScott, Feeney, 4x NPR

Now if Mitchell doesn't play I will get Rein as my AE.

16 trades left and planning none this week with 163k in bank to bring in CSmith next few weeks for Rein...

Not a bad line up anyway for this round.  And you've got the trades to pick up the uninjured in form players post origin.

Wonder what is up with Cameron Cullen being named in squad. Any injury fears for either of their halves?

In 2015 a record number of oil activists/environmentalists all suffered unexplained deaths. It's a scary world.

Who's this Talakai fella?

Came off the bench last week for Souths & scored a try I think. He may turn out to be a viable cash cow if he can stay in the 17. George Burgess out for a while helps his cause as well.

Should be able to reach my final team next week by bringing in JDB for Tolman.

Smith Parcell
Fifita Graham Tolman
Surgess Merrin Mannering Taylor Tauks
Hunt Norman (+ DCE )
Croker Holland
Tedesco Munster Radradra

Wish I had Leilua instead of Holland, but the price difference is just too great. Leaves me with enough cash to also do Parcell to Friend if he loses his 80 mins.

Get Aitken in for Holland then mate?

Cleary is interesting me. Would generate a shit tonne of money if I went DCE to Cleary instead of to Pearce (anyway depending on Pearce's fitness). Already have a team worth 9.4m, but extra bank would allow me turn cashouts into upgrades, particularly if I also go Bateman to JWH for good bye scoring plus a solid reserve for the run home.

Running some forward planning scenarios, if I make those two trades - and if Cleary makes the $100-150k needed to turn him into a gun half with the rest of my bank - I could have the following team to guide me from Round 20. I'd only have 4 trades left but would be defying fantasy thinking by having a 20 man scoring squad that can cover injuries I'll have to pick and choose from week by week.

Questions - what's Cleary's job security? And would you do this if you could?

Current team:

Smith, Parcell
JBrom, JTrbo, JGraham, Surgess
Mannering, Whitehead, Taylor, Lowe, Bateman, Henry
SJ, Norman, DCE, Feeney
BJ, Aitken, Lolohea, Scott
Munster, Tedesco, Mitchell, Guth, Hughes

Potential end team with 4 trades left

The entire American financial & political system is based on fraud. If you tried to clean it up it would collapse the global financial system. In Obama's run against Cain he had to get donations from the bankers & wall street to compete. In all the time Obama has been president not one fraudster from the banking industry or wall street has been prosecuted & sent to prison. America has 2.5 million people incarcerated & only 471 are blue collar criminals.

What has changed over the last 10-20 years that makes it acceptable for a man to cry over any little thing. Sure great personal loss such as losing a loved one or a career/season ending injury is very different but I see it all the time everywhere & I can't understand it at all. That's all haha.

Nothing wrong with a bit of crying every now and then. Unless you are an Eels or Knights fan then you are crying on a more regular basis.

James or Surgess? Both DPP, Both same byes, James has a fraction of the ownership, Surgess more consistent, James higher average

I would also like to know own this...with 11 trades left I really need to be sure clearly for feeney swap is worth it.... I know I know what's the risk

Take a risk & go James.

Still have Hastings

Struggling with myself to get Johnson/Arey in when I know I can get JT in after origin for just over $400,000 which is absolute madness

Lawrence to NPR
PatMat to Tedesco

Going to rest Mitchell this week I have doubts he will play

I was always planning to trade Mitchell to Tedesco, but after round 15 (going into 16 Roosters by).
Is it now worth holding on to Mitchell just to play round 15, when they will now both miss two rounds.
Seems the go?

Todays NRL rumour.

Semi might be going to the Broncos in 2018.

Thats some BS if true.

Has been posted in the relevant Broncos thread. I agree though, Broncos simply cannot afford a single additional player without making cuts at seasons end.
