I'll be better next year, that's for sure. After round 5 I was ranked 39,000. Yikes. I've made good progress since then but it's all starting to come apart, with my serious lack of both trades and money. If I had one of the 2 I could salvage things.
I can either go for broke and hope for no injuries, or play it a bit safer but not have a full team of guns. I don't particularly like either option.

Don't hold me to it, but I'm a go hard or go home kinda guy (well with respect to fantasy anyway within reason) and there's always next year.....

also do we anything more definitive on the whole gordon to rorters/souths move? i would love to cash out gutho if he aint going

Gutherson dpp makes him more valuable than Gordon already

Freak. Did you just quote yourself?

Haha, though I like it but what do I know?

I don't have Gordon either, guessing Stinkbug doesn't also and is interested due to owning Guth?

Yeah, so am I, until it got to the point when I realised that with any more trades I'll be able to count what I have left on one hand. I just wish I could start again, and not blow trades like a fuckwit. From my first 10 trades (which of course I used in the first 5 weeks), I only have 2 of those players left, and one is Parcell. What the fuck was I doing?
I guess I don't have much choice but to go hard and hope for the best

precisely. i want to cash him out gutho this week, but if the gordon move eventuates....well that could be annoying given how well guth appears to play at fb

Pretty sure Gordon ain't going until next year, so Guth will most likely stay in teh centres the rest of the year.

I'm looking to get rid of Guth too;

Mitchell --> Opacic
Guth --> Mannering

Just hesitant as I'll lose 2 players that play round 18 & 19, but I don't think Mannering can wait any longer and is a season keeper.

My thoughts exactly, I think I'll end up cashing out Holland or Guth, I'd just prefer to wait until after rd 18.

good i am pulling the trigger on this in that case (before i reverse and try again tomorrow), not sold on these two either so open to suggestions (dugan?):
holland - croker
gutho - french
leaves me with 201k in the bank, an AE due to mitchell, and enough to do the following week:
mitchell - tedesco (providing he doesnt blow up this week, unlikely)
parcell - friend

6 trades left, and more or less a final team of:
smith, (friend)
jbrom, graham, (turbo)
harris, finucane, surgess (taupau)
mbye, milflord, (dce), (cleary as 18th man)
aitken, croker
barba, munster, tedesco

Is that good planning or poor?

Generate the cash mate, the season is almost over.

wtf are we radradra owners going to do??? this mid season contract dispute is bs. there should be terms in every nrl players contract which says no fucking french rugby in the middle of the year.

i understand its probably parras fault, im just bitter with the timing... gonna need to decide whether to keep him amid all this uncertainty, or use a precious trade only to find out he doesnt like france after all...

Decided to not do anything until after origin except for a sneaky Merrin trade in for Rd 18 and Rd 19.

Will survey the landscape after that

How many games has Carty started at half?? Just the one, or was there another earlier in the year

My concern is if parra has forced him to stay, how's his performances going to go? Could he revolt and just not give a shit, or is he still gonna play to his potential, that's my concern.

Care to explain what's wrong with my thought process rather than a sweeping statement? He would not be in my final 17 as I've stated.

I would say TBO is the forum's 'Straight-shooter', take it for what it is.

Means I can upgrade some players. I'm thinking have Barba, Teddy, Munster. Fuck Semi off and down him to a NPR and bring in someone like Gallen

It all helps

Rawr, with Parcell and Talakai injured I am suddenly a man down this week.
Even worse, a man down and having to play Kodi Nikorima! All my planning, undone.

At least you have someone to play! How about this Opacic? Any good? I guess I could go Mitchell to Opacic and at some point Guth to Ted. Gives me a dpp ctr/wfb cashout which was always the plan but lose the rd18 coverage.
