Yeah I'd take bird in the hand in this instance.

Plus he has Opacic who will likely rack up 50+ when the Broncos pump the Roosters next week.

Really appreciate the healthy discussion on this.

Yeah as Oz Sport Mad said, just Opacic in the way of depth.. next weeks trade would either be to bring back Aitken or possibly dugan.

Leaning towards the safe option as my team is pretty set for next weeks GF.. Injury insurance the main reason.

Or maybe I'll roll with Aitken and make tonights game interesting somewhat...

who knows anymore!

Phone was not loading NFF overseas and didn't realise my mate gave up on my team 3 weeks ago so I've been running 14 players with the likes of fifita, graham, leilua sitting as NPR's and Merrin as captain. Still got 9 trades left but not enough time to salvage a decent rank

What a bastard!

Welcome back MS.  I noticed that a few weeks ago.  Couldn't believe how well you were doing up till then being O/S for 4 months.

It's a toss of the coin after reading the for and against.

Welcome back mate. Your mate sucks.

30 points ahead with my Aitken to play vs their Rein..

Do I roll with Aitken and hope he holds off Rein with the 30 I already have

OR

Trade Aitken to nuffie and take Opacic's 36 which would set a total of 66.. something Rein shouldnt make..

Would leave me with one trade left for next week if I make it

Appreciate any advice.. long time lurker

Theres no way you can move people around to go Aitkin to Rein?

Stick with Aitken.
2 trades for next week will allow a downgrade and an upgrade, or 2 sideways trades should players get rested.

I would stick to Aitkin too, really your only worry is a very early injury. He gets good base stats so will score something ok even if he has a shocker.

Cheers everyone, rolling with Aitken..

So I might actually beat MS this year?

Sitting on about 950 for the week with Guth and Aikten to come so should finally crack the 1000 for the first time this year!

Will also put me through to the GF in both League 2 and my public league.

Looking good for a half decent result this year

Trades this week went:

Parker ---> Cartwright = much of a muchness
Barba ---> Ingis = big win for me

Still happy with that Tedesco ---> BJ trade too.

Nice work Filthy. Aitken will score the points just by himself tonight. I recken you score 1030-1040.

@pm888
Made a trade, had to roll the dice and this was definitely no sure thing. I'll let you guess who was out and who was in, don't want you to get the voodoo doll out. Best of luck.

you sneaky bugger, you didnt bring in duges did you?

5 mins till kick off..

Do I keep Gutherson, or Trade to Ma'u?  Or Trade to Dugan?

My opponent has Dugan so ideally I'd have to outscore Dugan or  equal

@TBO I really hope you traded to Dugan, or at least kept Gutherson as I don't have faith in Ma'u to outscore Dugan.

On 950 going into this game with only Dugan to go. Need 23 more points from him in the 2nd half to get my first 1000

It's gunna work.

Must be some big scores this Week? I've hit 1000 for the first time this season... to win my comp no less.
