I would sit with what you have. I wouldn't mind seeing a better third WFB. However that is here nor there. Some guns are about to bottom out this week so look to make the move to them in the next week or two with Wallace.

Nah save your trades, your team looks good. Maybe I'd swap Lloyd Perrett for Capewell if he keeps his spot but that's it.

Should I trade in Aubs or wait until Leilua has bottomed out in price?

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.

Pick up Talakai/Capewell/Critchton and do the trade

@Random

Does you affection for Simona falter after the moron got caught?

I know it's not even TLT yet but shouldn't make a difference. Kelly, Rennings or Abbey for my final player in the backs???
I'm already playing Cotric and I trust him over the others. However because of no Hayne and no desire to gamble with more potential duds I have to run with one of those three until he comes back so who should I choose?

I really like Capewell as a footballer in general.

Yeah he puts in, just hope the Coach sees it that way too.

No & please back away. He's like Aubusson in that he'll fill in at ctr when injuries happen.

Thoughts on these trades?
Suli > Slater
Siro > Whitehead

McInnes (c) Brailey
Fifita Wallace Musgrove (Papali)
JDB Gallen Whitehead Kaufusi Yates (MCK)
Cleary Lamb (Jacks Elgey)
Smat Mitchell (Kelly Idris)
RTS Trbojevic Slater (Abbey Cotric)

4k in the bank
Could go Ponga over Slater and have 55k spare

Lol fair enough that's what I was thinking

I'm probably going to go Abbey

What I found funny on the weekend was all the calls for duds by everyone and anyone, Kelly who had 2 previous decent scores is now a dud after his 16 and Suli after his 10 

Jennings after his 48 is now a dud also by following it up with a 13

Sironen is a dud following up a previous 36 average with a 19

JT is a dud because is a  gun and only scored 25 last weekend

Mitchell Moses is just a cunt

Cheers for the advice. He's now switched it up to rj and rj (Rob Jennings) for Vaughan and Slater.

I'd still do it and Move Gagai to your WFB and bring in one of those CTRs if available

Gagai has more value than Slater

sorry thought it was ultimate where Gagai is dual

The subject of TBs potentially being counted differently this year is interesting, and if indeed true hurts Leilua. Who is coming off an incredibly impressive year last year.

For mine, I would take Aubusson as he plays in the more consistent position, doesn't rely on attacking stats as much and has been great this year. The only concern is what happens when Siosiua Taukeiaho comes back and whether he spells for Guerra or Aubusson gets shuffled. However to have a CTR scoring consistently high is well worth the risk. (Plus Leilua may have bottomed out by the time Taukeiaho gets back and you can reevaluate then.)

Fuck Simona.

Still got mad love for B. Austin, E. Taylor, and S. Boyd,

Well Kelly and Rennings had tries to help boost their scores to be fair. I'd also be concerned about Siro's defence against a big Dogs pack. I remember Darcy Lussick made like 12 missed tackles against the Dogs last time. Gave James Graham like 8 tackle breaks though

Ranked 1108th and I'm thinking of trading ET to capewell and Hayne to C.Walker so my team would look like this:

Smith Brailey
McGuire Wallace F Kaufusi Ese ese
JDB Surgess Hess Yates F Winterstein Capewell
SJ Lamb Jacks Elgey
Moga R. Jennings Kelly Idris
RTS C. Walker Cotric Suli Phythian

Some opinions would be appreciated,thanks!

Aubusson is no longer a risk. Matterson is the Mr Fix It and Watson is the bench utility. When SST comes back, he'll likely rotate with Guerra at Lock who is still in relatively sub-par form. Aubo will be the man I aim for as the first upgrade in my CTR's.

Bank on it, Aubusson will never shift to centre this year so long as Matterson and Watson are in the team.

Can't discount tries because they are part of the game, my point was everyone gets bad or unexpected scores even the guns especially cheap WFB

Siro has always been a dud and I hate the fact I started the season with him, but he is making money

lazy bastard

What is Cornish's job security like? Especially with Copley there. Thinking of going Elgey to Cornish, Siro to Surgess, 76k ITB

Current team before trades
Smith, Brailey
Wallace, Kaufusi, JWH, Yates
Gallen, ET, Hess, KBrom, Siro, MCK
SJ, Lamb, Jacks, Elgey
SMat, Moga, Kelly, Talaki
RTS, Guths, Cotric, Suli, Hayne
