Definitely overall mate. H2H is a lottery to which team scores well against you each week and would have astonishingly different results if the "dice" of drawing who in what rounds were cast differently. Overall is the true measure of your team, and of you yourself as a man.

Totally thanks to this forum tho - been such a help hearing a wide range of views on things and then taking a punt on who sounds less drunk at the time

See, if you listened to the drunkards amongst us you'd probably be winning.

NOTE: filth is off the booze until further notice.

I'd probably be happier not being so close to the leaders as then I could save trades rather than searching for points and taking gambles....1st world problems eh ;-)

Anyway...would appreciate thoughts for this week

6 trades left and 39k in hand...was going to do Holland -> Manu, JTrbo -> Merrin and Parcell -> Friend. 1st one is a gimmie cash out (altho could do Capewell for the extra 10k) but the other two are slight sideways trades looking for bye-round points

After those trades my team would be:
Smith Friend
Fifi JGraham Surgess JBrom
Merrin Mannering Whitehead Carty Ma'u Talakai
Bunt SJ Feeney Hughes
BJ Aitken Manu Copley
Teddy Munster Semi Guth Eden

But only 3 trades left and 148k....feels like a little light on trades for the end run but they'd only be needed for injuries which never happen to main people right.......right........?

The other option is just cash out Holland now for Manu/Capewell and sit on the 5 trades and pile of cash for the home run and rely on Parcell/JTrbo to do the job

Exactly.  

So who is going to be your 3rd WFB keeper?  Are you going to drag Barba back down, or maybe fuck him off with/instead of Milf with Carty moving into your halves (if you can)?  

Barba's bye coverage is what has kept him in my team.  But the Radradra thing is a worry too, honestly surprised he is still in the NRL.

Smith (Friend)
Merrin, Parker, Whitehead (Harris, ET)
Johnson, Cleary (Hunt)
Aitken, Gutherson
Tedesco, Munster, Barba

with four trades for round 20 onwards.

Interesting with running Guth in the final 17.

Was about to post my team and realised you had done the same as me-promoting Cleary to the 2nd half spot and relegating BHunt to Reserve.    Shows how good the young fella has been travelling (and how shit BHunt has been).

@filthridden Cunning tactic tho having no FRF's in the team - that's thinking outside the box for sure

The sole reason I didn't pick Cleary up at the start was it seemed like I didn't need a cash cow and had 2 "gun" halves already - I'm just hoping that Hunt's scores pick up...If he's totally lost his confidence (miss tackles are the main reason why his scores have been crap lately) then I may trade him to Cleary/Pearce - hoping not to have to burn a trade there tho (crosses fingers that Hunt's scores pick up asap)
