Couldn't be happier with my Semi --> Fully (Ryan James)

So which 2rf to I get rid of, and which WFB to i get? (already got Tedesco & Barba)

I would sell Gillett. Munster is the obvious but C. Walker is a bit cheaper & should be dual dpp soon. I think he needs 1 more game but you'll have to pick him in the halves this week. I read somewhere that A-Rey should play this week.

Are you trying to say that getting a colonoscopy gave you a semi?

Exactly my plan. I was getting so sick of people above me benefiting from Milf's huge scores so I bought him into my team and put a stop to it. Hasn't gone over 50 since I've owned him. I plan to do the same thing with James  

Do it, bring him back a level or 2

The only way James price is going to start dropping is if he gets injured in the 1st 10 minutes of the game & doesn't return because his b/e even will be very low this week. Round 16 b/e was 39 & he scored 79 so I'll imagine it's going to be under 30 at least.

I was looking at dropping Barba for 3 reasons:

1. He seems to have lost his momentum (price is about to drop)
2. Everyone owns him, and I want some POD
3. Cody Walker looks like a good replacement (with a steady price rise about to kick in)

Well I don't need to buy the doctor dinner haha

I'm also going to sell Barba. I do think he'll go big in games where the Sharks smash the opposition but his low scoring games are more frequent and lower than say other WFB options like Dugan. Besides if you're not in with a shot at winning overall and you just want to win an open or H2H league then you're probably not going to do it with a player owned by 56% of teams

He shoulod get DPP this week.
Although he played in the halves he was named at fullback in the team lists.

I'm in this boat. Lack of trades is quite stifling though. Very unsure of where to go from here on out with my team.

I have depth but not sure if I sacrifice that for a über gun like Fifita or James (still sounds weird to say, almost makes me wanna start with Carter next year and hope for a James 2.0 scenario)

On Walker, we'll have to wait and see on DPP

If you look at match centre he was listsed as playing halves
https://matchcentre.nrl.com/match/2016/111/20161111610/#team-lists

We'll have to wait and see, I'm pretty sure this game counts as one of Tohu Harris's 3 games at centre (despite him being listed as 2nd row in these lists, he played centre and Kenny Bromwich in the forwards)
https://matchcentre.nrl.com/match/2016/111/20161110360/#team-lists

In other words, its not a guarantee that Cody Walker will get DPP, but it might still happen

I had him in rd 1 and never got around to trading him out.
His DPP is very handy and his value wasn't worth using.
Hoping for a man of the match performance, cementing his spot in a poor Manly team.











Ok, he'll likely be lucky to play 40 mins and score single figures, never to be seen again.

I'm sure I have seen some dialogue with someone asking lone scout the question about Walker and it was said he would be getting DPP this week

This was the team list from the hour before the game .... http://www.nrl.com/updated-team-lists-panthers-v-rabbitohs/tabid/10874/newsid/98462/default.aspx
Think that's what they base the DPP stuff on, not where he actually played.
Interesting to see what happens.

Good to see mighty Wales through to the last 8 mate. Hopefully they get drawn against Portugal who are complete rubbish.

Unbelievable mate! No major tournament in 58 years and flying through to the quarters! Sore head the last 2 days but well worth it, especially after watching that tripe against NZ in the morning!

Belgium next, Hazard was spectacular last night but we beat them and drew with them in qualifying so I'm confident we can do it again!

I know you lot have all taken Wales on as your second team









and come on Iceland tonight!!

Yeah Belgium is one of those hot & cold sides & if you shut their attack down & not give their stars like Hazard any room & time on the ball then they are very beatable. Italy showed this earlier on so I'm confident the boys can beat them.

If that is the case, then Tohu Harris only has 2 games at centre (only been named there in final team lists twice), but Lone Scout has said a few times that they consider him to have played there 3 times.

Doesn't mean Walker won't get DPP. Just that there is precedent for ignoring final team lists as written

Walker of the Dylan vairety worth a look for someone like Mitchell, oh and i want more points this round, or is it not worth chasing for one round and wasting a trade

Alright got to rely on John Asiata as an AE tonight. Here's hoping Green gives Scott and Tamou a bit of a rest so Asiata gets more minutes and barges over for a try
