And of course this time next year I will still be saying why do I have no trades left, because no self control that's why.

$178k up my sleeve and 7 trades remaining (prior to this round)

Bolds are obviously my reserves as they currently stand. Feels odd not having my second HKR as a playing reserve though and this is annoying me.

Here's my issue (coupled with the above comment). I'm planning on dumping Norman this week if not named. I also want Fifita this week.

Should I go:-

1) Norman to Fifita via DPP
2) Bromwich to Fifita and Norman to a CTR/WFB via DPP
3) something else that I'm missing entirely?

The advantage to Brom out is it gives me one less reserve headache.

I NEED HELP! Either that or I need to turn this bloody computer off for the rest of the day and come back later.

As a smuggler and trader I find it hard to control myself...

Have you considered bringing CWalker (7.5% ownership) into your team? You can swap between him and Barba, giving you cover for both HLF and WFB?

One vote for keeping it simple and going Norman to Fifita.

Feeney is my half NPR so I can swap them anyways and at the current point in time I'm trying to bring in non players, not more players! Lol. Oh, and I traded Walker out three weeks ago for Teddy.

Is there a clear upgrade path for Claw if you already have Aitken though ?

IMO everyone around him is sideways, based on the last couple of rounds at least. Maybe Yeo but if TMM comes back and BCart heads back to the second row you would think that party would end.

How many more times does Harris need to get named at Centre to become DPP. If he gets DPP then he gets my 2cents.

I considered it for a while but I'm probably going to keep him. He's still close to the Top 10 CTR's on average with 40.8 and while his last score of 22 was dreadful, he's no more inconsistent than most other options. In his past 6 games he's got scores of 33, 36 and 22 but also scores of 53, 59 and 57.
Also I've had him all year and really I like the novelty of having him in my team. I would have never thought Lawrence would ever be part of my team but he's really found a home in the back-row and Tigers fans are even loving the fact that he's revitalized his career in a new position. I mean for all that might as well hang onto him

I traded Claw for Croker, only 56k to upgrade.
Raiders look to have a good run home with the potential for plenty of points.
I also have had the Claw all year. He seems to have a good week followed by a poor one and really misses too many tackles.

This is what frustrates me.  Also he is a lazy shit when it comes to defence.
