chaz4173 wrote:Hey fellas, first time poster here. Just looking for opinions on who i should trade out of my team first out of saifiti/Pythian (or both). The obvious selections would be moga and wallace. Somehow in my mind I decided to start the year with both jwh and saifiti over wallace. Ive seen plenty of people saying saifiti for wallace but im not sure wallace is worth the trade in as hes not a keeper and i want to grab browmich when he bottoms out. The next best option looks like musgrove. Tearing my hair as as too whom i should bring in. Cheers

Smith/Brailey
Fifita/Saifiti/JWH/Papalii
JDB/Gallen/Smat/Sironen/Kaufasi
Lamb/Norman/Elgey/Jacks
Talakai/Kelly/Idris/Suli
RTS/Hayne/Gutherson/Cotric/Pythian

THEGAME wrote:Thinking Tapow and JBrom out and JBD and Wallace in.

Thoughts?
Any others to consider?
To trade or not to trade?
My 3 and 4 reserve would be Lamb/Elgery without trade. (Playing Jacks)

Slater or Foran?

This is exactly my conundrum. Thinking of going Hingano to Jacks.

Gidday mate, Im not the man to answer you question (welcome though), but from what I can see many people went with Saifiti, and a number with JWH too so your are far from alone.

And yes, you will see many on here suggesting Wallace aint worth the trade in for a number of reasons. So you'll get varied responses there.


In keeping with my theme of not being the person to aswer your question, I'll throw another one out there, is there value for you in swapping Papalii with Yates? Papalii is rated highly at the warriors but even after one  game (and all the injuries) it seems he will find it hard to get time this year. Yates looks to be one of the few cows up front and could be worth the trade... Interested to hear what others say.

On Saifiti and JWH one has to question how much has changed between people wanting them before rnd 1 and now. Is it enough to dump them?

For what its worth though at this stage I am looking at upgrading Paufusi to Wallace based on peoples suggestions (using some money from a down grade).

Welcome aboard mate. I like your trades bringing in Wallace & Moga for D. Saifiti & Phythian. Wallace has a b/e of 18 this week & should score at least 45 & should make good money for your J-Brom targeted purchase.

thanks mate much appreciated. I might pull the trigger with these as they make the most sense.

I had Koro as my 2nd hooker thinking this could be his year at nailing down a full time hooker gig. I think it is a mistake after seeing the way he was used, and performed, last week. With the addition of Cullen to the bench, along with Brown, I'm biting the bullet and downgrading him to Pritchard, who it looks like is being given the opportunity to establish himself as the Eels 80 minute hooker. It frees up enough cash to bring Norman into my halves and move Walker to FB. I'm still carrying Pythian now though, but figure he can wait.

Looking at;

Koro > Pritchard
Tia Maria > Norman

Team after those trades

Smith, Pritchard
McGuire, Vaughan, Kaufusi
Surgess, Bromwich, ET, Bateman
Norman, Jacks
Turbo, Smat
Walker, Hayne, RTS, Suli

I.Papalli, Kaufusi, Yates, Hingano, Fogarty, Idris, Kelly, Pythian - 18k.

Now watch Koro score 60 against his old club.

Bellamy on Slater - still no clearer lol:

"He could be [back next week], or the week after, or the week after, or the week after that," Bellamy said.

"We want to be 100 per cent sure. We're really keen to have him back in and he's really keen to get back in. We have to make sure he's back in right time."

My bad I actually do own Yates. JDB/Gallen/Smat/Sironen/Kaufasi/Yates as my second row. Ill keep my eyes on JWH this week. If he cant get fired up and have a big game against the doggies pack (klemmer/graham etc) He wont get up for anything. Im going to hold JWH but trade saifiti i think> I dont really have the luxury to wait and see with saifiti as cash is a bit of an issue for my squad atm.. Then their is the temptation to grab musgrove and move smat to centre to bolster centre. Or i could trade pythian to moga to bolster my centres, ah too many options. Cheers for the advice anyway, I guess I have to decide whether moga or musgrove are better additions to bring in.

Thanks.
