@Clack Bocks @Welshy

Thanks lads

@Random
your response to Fortitude pretty much covers mine too.

cheers

No new cows this week it seems. Capewell looking a popular choice by default. Looks a keen footballer but job security is an issue

Hate and have moaned about choosing players on matchups

but Ponga against the depleted Titans this week.....

I'll take you up on that:

How to milk enough money for the upcoming Fwd trades (Whitehead, Bodene, JBrom, McInnes etc) from this:

Smith, Brailey
James, Wallace, Hoare, Yates
JDB, Surgess, FKaufusi, Siro, Elliot, Yates, SMat
Pearce, Lamb, Jacks, Field,
Cotric, TTurbo, Kelly, Idris
RTS, French, Slater, Suli, Hayne

Current cash in bank is $32K after this weeks trades of Slater (Moga) and Jacks (Elgey) - cost me about 20K

work out where you think the cows will peak at in price...work out where the trade ins will bottom out in price then prioritise who you want in first, be it for points or for money saving.

i.e siro should make some more cash this weekend unless he has another stinker, Whitehead should lose some more so you pay less for the trade, but if you did the trade this week Whitehead will likely get you more points this round

I think next week depending how guys go you can look at a cashout of Wallace and Siro to another cow/to a gun (Most likely Whitehead).

Definitely use Milchcow's price predictor to get an idea of when players are likely to peak.

An example of some guys and when they should peak.

J. Wallace (2-3 weeks until peak - $370k mark)
J. Brailey (4+ weeks until peak - $310k mark)
L. Yates (4 weeks - $270k mark)
S. Hoare (He has potentially peaked. Should improve though.)
F. Kaufusi (5 weeks - $360k mark [Reliant on Tohu Harris return])

If you can 100% yes

He wants Vaughan and Gagai for RJ. Take that?

Suli out - Capewell in (via Sione)

Thoughts & thanks.

What if Capewell doesn't play next week and Suli does??

This is why I've dumped elgey (vs Hess). I don't own Hess, but I don't see it going well...

Who you got to cover Gagai?

Suggestions on who to bring in? Or should I just save my trades?

Welshy wrote:Hate and have moaned about choosing players on matchups

Yeah I'm getting him based on this but I'm short by 20k so I have to downgrade elsewhere. I could go Suli to Capewell & move Sione to the ctrs but I'm not entirely convinced that Capewell is a safe pick. One bad game & he could be out of the 17 with Feki & Beale lurking.

@Random
Thanks mate - appreciate the time to work it out.

Is the rash I have in my groin area anything to worry about. Well you said ask

Boil some water with 3 cloves of galic and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar enough to soak in when its tepid enough.












Wont do anything but we will get a laugh................

Most definitely its sideways.
The only way you should consider that is if Fifita makes origin and JDB doesn't, barring injury or suspension obviously.
I feel they have changed the definition of a tackle bust and Fifita is suffering due to this.
Generally, scores appear lower this year.

Here is where it gets tricky.

I have Kata and Gagai in the CTRs. I lost GI in the first week so WFB is Slater, Fusitua and Fergo (picked up Lolohea as cover).

Backs on the wire include Talakai, Boyd, Lafai.. so slim pickings.

Anyone else get that warm fuzzy feeling when lockout lifts and you can purge all those nasty demons from your team?

Then a week rolls around and you have to do it all over again. Much like the movie - The Purge. Thats how I felt with Moga and Elgey.

Here hoping Capewell keeps his spot .

Depends how aggravated it looks, and if it is itching or burning. Also how long you have had it for. However you should probably consult your GP to review it.

Chris McQueen anyone? With all the injuries the titans have?

Moga - Will be upgrading him as soon as he gets 2 bad games in a row (might be next week)

Kelly - Will be upgrading him as soon as he gets 2 bad games in a row (might be next week)

Suli - Will be upgrading him as soon as he gets 2 bad games in a row (might be next week)

Bugga if that all happens at the same time.
At least I don't have Moga.
So what MITB do you have to upgrade these problem childs??

I really like Capewell as a footballer in general.
