SJ, JT
BJ, Aitken 
Munster, CWalker, Tedesco

I think I might go for something like that. Was going to upgrade Gutherson for BJ but may hold off if Guth stays in the halves. But I'm sticking with Hunt over Thursty.

Dropped 900 places last week due to not fielding a full group of 17.... Now only 7 weeks to make up 3311 places to get into the top 1 000.

I can look at upgrading M. Mau now to either C. Parker, J. de Belin, J. Trbojevic, or B. Cartwright. However is I wait a week P. Gallen may drop some cash. Or I could look at upgrading E. Taylor instead.

You roosters have done your job and it's time to move on. Thanks for the good times.

I need help fellas, who gets downgraded and upgraded for Mannering?

Smith (Friend)
Fifita Gallen (Ese Leulani)
Surgess Merrin Carty (SST ET Talakai)
SJ Hunt (Cleary Feeny)
BJ Aitken (Claw Guth)
Barba Mitchell Munster (Copley Manu)

Thinking it's between Mitchell Guth Cleary Claw ET or SST.  

I really like SST so would like to keep him but I don't see him cracking 50 very often anymore just cause of minutes.  ET could go either way, as could Mitchell and Guth looks like he's worth keeping if he keeps teh number 6 jumper.  Need to find 120K if up use two backs (including Claw)

I'm thinking Cleary can't keep the scoring up can he?

If you downgrade Claw, you should have enough to upgrade SST to Mannering, then the following week you could upgrade Mitchell to Teddy, or another upgrade if you prefer.

Good score for that round wolfking. Hey I wouldn't be quick to trade out Cleary though, in my opinion he's a gun. I like SST too but you're right, minutes permitting he doesn't look like cracking 50 so upgrade him for someone Mannering. The cashout would be Mitchell or Guth, and whichever you keep goes to the backline.

If it were my team, after the changes I would have 4 reserves of Friend, Mannering, ET, Cleary.

Thanks for the replies fellas. As much as I like SST yeah, he seems like the choice to upgrade. OntheLast, I agree Cleary is looking good, I guess it's just the stigma of looking at him in the team cause he is a rookie, but he's scoring like a gun. I'm not a fan of having both Penrith halves but they have been solid with the scoring so far. Mannering is the definite target this week.

Chucky, that's sort of what I was thinking. I was thinking the same thing, if I get rid of Claw for say Hurrel, upgrade SST, I'd have a bit of money left over to hopefully do a single trade next week or Mitchell.

I think it's between Claw and Guth to go this week, depending where Guth is, I'd keep him over CLaw playing at number six. Gives me an extra 50K too.

Thanks boys.

Fifita, no question.

Anyone else tempted to captain A. Fifita v Knights at home rather than CS9 at home v Roosters.

Definitely.
Rested up after his suspension, he should be ready to crack the ton.

This weeks Carter award (where the namesake got the sack) had another tie, this week between Manly players Darcy Lussick and Api Koroisau, with the former winning on a count back having played 58 minutes compared tom Api's 84.

Smith scored 80 against the Roosters last time.

I didn't have too many good times with my Roosters, I started the year with 7 of the bludgers and was glad to see the back of them. Although Mitchell, Hastings and Aubs did give me some smiles.

He'll probably get another suspension in the next few weeks

Ok final team. Got a little backup which is good. 

Smith (Friend)
S.Burgess / James / (Graham) / NPR
Gallen / Merrin / Mannering / (Taylor) / Asiata / Green
Johnson / Hunt / (Cleary) / Lolohea
Aitken / BJ / Copley / NPR
Tedesco / Munster / Barba / Gutherson / Hardaker


Pretty happy. Only regret is no Fifita.

Was only just thinking the same thing. Start calling him BIFFifita...

Now the Bye period has finished I can look back and see my bye planning was successful.

After a torrid start to the year were I spent the first 5 weeks hovering between 16,000 and 11,000, I started the bye period in 2918th spot and after this week I am now in 109th. I had to trade my way out of problems and have no trades left so its only backwards from here.

@Boozy, you've probably done a bit better then this haven't you

Going Taupau to Parker this week. Leaves me with 2 trades so pretty much stuck with the following:

Smith, (McCullough)
Fifita, James, (Graham)
Mannering, Parker, Whitehead, (Taylor)
Johnson, Hunt, (Cleary)
BJ, Croker
Tedesco, Walker, Barba

JTrbo 18th man, Gutherson 19th man
