Speaking of which, was hoping to wake up to Studizzle having posted his WAG's and sisters pick, but alas, he has fought the system!

Haha my bad!   I don't even talk to my sister lol

That's 2 pics now

Some help would be great guys. My wife and I have just had our first baby and I have no time at all this week to research my trades. Would love some input on what to do this week. My team is as follows:

Smith McCullough
McGuire Kaufusi Papalii Yates
Gallen JDB Aubusson Matautia Sironen Stone
Johnson Elgey Lamb Field
Idris Talakai Cotric Kelly
Trbojevic Hayne RTS Suli Pythian

10k bank
Thanks in advance legends!

Smith has a b/e of 81 this week which he'll struggle to meet. McInnes has a b/e of 41 this week which he'll match comfortably. After reading the comment about Surges (b/e 65) from MS I might actually go ahead & do those trades. I'm going to have to ponder this.

With out sounding like arguing against my own comments, you cant be chasing B/es. If Smith Pumps out a 120 and McInnes gets a 30. Do you then go back to Smith? Obviously you don't. But my point is as long as you have a rational plan and cant stick to it. DOOO ITTT

I thought about trading Surgess, but it seems a little hasty.  But saying that, my gut was telling me before the start of season that he may struggle so his score is no surprise.  The guy is a beast though, put up a 97 last year from base stats.

Trading Smith though is madness.

Solid team.

Aubbo to Wallace and Pythian to Burns if named. Or stick with Aubbo and go Pythian to Moga.

Glad to be here! Not sure if you guys do Fantasy pub meets for Fri/Sat night games but I'd be keen (Y)

We are actually fairly geographically diverse

Regular posters in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, NZ and Wales. So meetups don't happen very often. But we had a couple last year and there might be a few more this year as the forum gathers momentum (last year was our first year as our own forum, previously we were part of sportal, but they sold their soul and we were forced to leave)

Rumor in the parra forum is that Hayne won't play against them in rd3 and has coaches ok to kiss game

Surgess to Barnett is extremely tempting

Hayne is going to be the biggest trap of the year.

They could both easily pump out the same score.

My gut was telling me the same and I dropped him last day to try and get a proper 2nd hooker but couldn't go past his last 5 average of +60

Team for round 2:

Smith
Wallace Musgrove
JDB Barnett ET
DCE Lamb
Mitchell SMat
Gutherson RTS Hayne
R: McInnes Sironen Kaufusi Jacks

Bit light in the FRF, probably the first place I will aim to upgrade (Helloooooo cheap Jommich!) though I am also keen on bringing PODene in when he bottoms out and gets his 80 minute gig back. My team is shocking for bye round 1 (20 have the bye!), so very keen to be bringing in some round 12 players from here

Hayne won't even last the season. Why would you want to play with that flog.

I actually toyed with the idea of going Hayne -> Talakai this morning.. but it leaves me a bit short in the WFB (but if Hayne's weekend efforts continue then does it matter)?

Solid team, the only thing missing is Teddy

Who is in line to wear #1 for the Knights?

Will Smat get pushed into CTR now if they move Gagai or Pmat?

Dont think they move Sione.

Brendan Elliot probably comes in.

Where do we see the players break even

Pete M. to f/b & Elliott to ctr (they also have Wardle but I think he may be injured atm)

Milchy has posted these on page 38 comment 758 on this thread. He will post these every week & it's very much appreciated by everyone on here.

You should use BEs to determine when to trade, not who to trade.

Time so they have maxxed out/bottomed out, depending on if you are buying or selling. Don't get someone solely because they have a low BE. 2 weeks of average scores and that BE is gone, but you still have the player
