Teddy to BJ was a lock. It was finally my BJ time, I thought.

At least if I can't have a BJ, no one can.

Pretty sure he'll be fine.

I'm sure it'll be a popular question this week but Teddy's got to go who do I choose?

Aitken seems like the best swap for swap and will leave me with a perfect $0 in the bank which is cool since it's my last trade. However I'm also looking at some strike players like Rapana, SKD or B-Moz just for a little bit of variety and excitement. Ultimately though I'm mostly leaning towards Dugan because I just am.

Aitken definitely the most consistent with his last 5 scores being 61, 55, 50, 48, 58 for a 5 round average of 53.

No reason Dugan can't match those scores but Aitken definitely the more reliable of the two in regards to both scores and injury.

Might throw caution to the wind and use my last trade on SKD.

@Milchcow

He's running one I'm pretty sure.

Some early mail;

http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-early-mail-round-24-all-the-latest-news-ahead-of-tuesdays-team-announcements/news-story/8dcce7d65c381fbb7be4fb3bb4e7916d

I think I really want Nofo for the last few weeks. Might take the punt on Gallen to Tapau if he's named in the second row again to get the cash.

1 trade left - TTrbo and Teddy are done, Gallen in doubt. I have no playing NPRs

BJ or Dugan?

I traded out Graham & Whitehead this week

Next year we need to implement a forum wide rule. Nobody is allowed to trade anyone out after they've posted their lowest score for the year.

It's happened so many times this year and every time they've come back to start hitting their averages again.

Trade whitehead out after a 30? his 4 previous scores to that he averaged 55.
Graham has scoffed under 50 twice since round 5.


Some people here seem to expect their players to beat their average every single week, and get disappointed when it doesn't happen.

This weeks winner of the Carter Award easily goes to Darcy Lussick the Manly fraud pretending to be a Front Row Forward with a -26 points. That was 13 missed tackles by a forward, turnstiles like Brooks and Maloney don't miss that many in 2 weeks combined. I think daylight came 2nd this week and Thurston was a close 3rd.

There were a few talking about trading/benching BJ as well. That must really be heartbreaking.

I do get caught out panicking myself on occasion but more so at the start of the season.
Could not for the life of me understand why people were trading out Whitehead. I thought I had missed an injury or a positional change or something.

Munster scored 30 this round but there's no way in hell I'm trading him out and I doubt anyone else is even considering it so why was Whitehead on the chopping block for so many?

and people benched BJ as well? Bizarre calls.

I traded out Graham for Fifita.

The luxury of being able to waste a trade late.

Didnt work on this occasion however.

I can understand people benching BJ because he played against statistically the best defense in the comp...
Maybe no one can stop the Raiders Rampage?

I only want win H2Hs at this stage. Only 2 trades left.

Teddy>Hayne is a given I think

Then I have 3 players 16/17th men Guth Aubo SST

Guth or Aubo gets me Dugan but SST gives me WFB CTR or 2RF up to $437k

...

I am all for that rule
I lost my playoff match and if i had stuck with my team instead of trading i would have won it safely and had trades for injuries

No worries though, i always learn from these things...
