Still in the top 10 R&T. Looking good mate.

I'm up to 12th. Would be 8th if I'd played Cotric over Suli.

1st has a nice lead at this point, but it gets congested very quickly.

Good stuff Milchy. Keep up the good work mate.  

P.S. Thanks for the VSDT BE's. Will you be posting a link to the spreadsheet again?

Who are you guys looking at for trade-ins this week?

Im thinking of Hess>Whitehead and perhaps looking at Smat>CHN or GGM (need to think through the later a bit though. His head knocks are a concern and it seems like a good time to bring in a cheapie who will make some money and fill a slot over a bye round game or two.

I'm looking at ways to trade in either one of or both CHN and GGM this week, but I want to try to hold onto Hess and S.Mat for the moment if I can (since they are both in my 17 when fit). I'm going to watch what happens with fallen guns like Whitehead, J.Brom, Podene, BJ, etc for another week. Merrin and Carty will be of interest soon, and the Farah/Cook scenario needs to be monitored.

Might trade out Whare (or Suli or Talakai) for GGM, but not sure who to trade out for CNN. F.Kaufusi? K.Brom? Brailey (via ET)? There is a lot to consider this week.

I have the following in my team.
Hess, will hold. Head knocked effected score and he was starting last week. There's still potential here.

Jacks, still making money. Depending on TLT Frawley seems like a potential swap. Jacks is one break out game from earning better $$$s though.
Brailey might be traded for Cook Or Seggie this week.
Cotric will earn more money if you keep him for more than two weeks. Actually a potential keeper. Let's see there.
Yates the same as Cotric as long as he is in the team.

Stone - CHN? Yay or nay? Failed cow (in comparison anyway) to a fella about to make $90k?

^ depends how many times CHN is going to play?
Stone might get more minutes if Smat and Yeats don't play.

Well done DK, R & T and Milchy on your rankings, also a few other Fanatics floating to the top, I seem to be going nowhere fast but doing it in style, the old saying its not whether you win or lose but how good ya look doing it

Climbed 89 spots to 41st this week so pretty happy with that. The team in 1st has a very good looking team and seems to have a few players for rnd 12.

Great work by dk being in 2nd at this point in the season seeing both of you dont have smith your captain choices could make a big difference.

my team for the week will be depending TLT

mcinnes
JDB surgess wallace fkaufusi
tolo gallen buhrer hess E.T
sironen dwalker
aubs turbo
gordon rts gmm/cotric

looking at the top teams there halves shit all over mine and thats were im giving up ground got 195k in the bank tho to fix them but not untill they peak so could fall abit more behind

Hess on the bench.

Eeek what to do. Might hold.

Not trading in GGM.

Might need CHN now, looks like bryce is gone for longer. Should have jumped earlier. Yates not named is a pain. Not sure if i should hold him or not

Yates and Hess to Whitehead and CHN as preliminary trades here.

Knights play early, so can wait and see on Yates before committing

Has Smat been cleared to play?

If so then ill be doing the exact same trades.

Will leave some $ for upgrades next week - not sure who yet... but think (without looking at the numbers recently) that Jbrom and JL could be interesting...

Going to hang onto Yates and Hess. Yates still has money to make and will be back in the team when SMat is ruled out. Hess still has as many points to give as CHN.
I'm not missing the $$$$s CHN offers though. Was sitting on Ballin since the start of the year hoping he'd eventually become a good scorer at a cheap price. ET has DPP as a hooker. So I swap dud Ballin for CHN. (what a wonderful escape there )

Ponga in for Kelly??? I've got to start saving trades though.

congrats on the good start everyone!

few injuries gave me a slow start but hopefully can start the climb, in a much better spot than last year so thats one thing

doubling down on the cheapies to generate some cash with suli & yates > ggm and shw

So sad about Peachey. Was the only decent centre I've had all year! Luckily he's worth a shit tonne so I can bring in another sorry mofo

Dropped four places to 27 but happy with my start. Stupid trade last week though - I looked at the Storm bench and figured Stimson was worth a trade. Instead he got 16 garbage minutes at the end of the game. Still his BE is only 6 so still a chance to turn it around.

CHN is a must have this week imo. The only question is who to trade him out for. Leaning towards Yates (if he doesn't get named), or FKaufusi (who's been going well but is my only other trade-out option). I'm holding on to Hess a week or two longer.

OK, perhaps a strange question at this stage.

But if I am trading in a player (e Whitehead) is there anywhere in the trade page I can just type in his name to bring him up so I can put him in my team. Or do I have to scroll through all available players until i find him?
