No doubt great player. But he will be dropped?

and only making $80k odd is surely a waste of a trade?

Hey mate, sorry, was being a bit silly. The video is just a bit of a laugh.

Oh look, IMO CHN is a good option for people looking to do a cash out in order to make and upgrade viable. There is of course the potential for that to turn into a decent CC if CHN gets more than 1 start, but the reality is everyone is pretty much in the dark about where he will be next round so you may well be stuck with a wasted spot in the 2RF for some time.

Is Bodene's BE 49? If so, there is no great rush to get him in right?

That being said, I reckon the Warriors are due a win this week and gut says Bodene might go great guns.

On the other hand it wouldnt hurt to watch him for another week, make sure he is back to playing regular 80min games and in particular let a couple other potential tradeouts rise in value a bit more...

Yeah I'm looking at him atm.

I have to trade either yates, F winterstein or musgrove to get him in though. They are all still making cash as well.

:S Not sure what to do. maybe wait another week

Reading recent articles pretty disparaging of Hayne but saying he might be back in 2 weeks. Do I risk trading him out to have to get back in or get rid and go with the chance that he quits and go plays European rugby?

OK cheers. Yeah Im looking at the same thing, but with different trade-out options. I dont reckon you pull the pin on Yates: Too valuable as a DPP player let alon he will make more money if he continues on in the role he has been playing. I dont have Winterstein or Musgrove but perhaps from the 3 Winterstien is the best option?

My choices are R Jennings, Cotric, Suli, Kelly, probably in that order...

I'm holding him. Noone at that price that I trust to do better than him.


If you don't have Slater yet, maybe you'd go that way. But even if he fails Hayne surely makes money (then again the same could have been said about a lot of
outside backs this year and they still keep failing)

It's him or Elgey and if ever Elgey going to get decent score should be against Warriors.

I seriously wonder if Hayne plays for Titans again

I'm in the same boat, and will most likely wait a week, and depending how he goes, may go Whitehead instead first. I have the same problem, have Yates, Musgrove, Wingerstein and Siro and there's no need to rush any of them out. If SMat fails again, I may just straight swap him for Bodene or Whitehead if the other still have cash to make.

When he was interviewed on Fox during the Titans game on the weekend he said himself about 4 weeks, so who knows.

Couldn't understand a word he said. I don't speak Flog.

I think i'll just have another week of no trades.

How much are trades worth at the end of the season? I can cash them in for 200 points per trade for my total score right?

How confident are people bodene is back to 80min? Manners has been playing between 60 and 80. Likelihood bodene will follow suit? I want him in team but a bit weary of him.

Got a few trade options i am deciding between.
Talaki to slater via cotric
Kbrom to bodene
6k itb

Moga to slater via cotric
Talaki to chn via aubs (talaki has cash but this will mean back 5 of smat aubs guths rts slater)
143k itb.

Of the 2 i am tempted most by option 2. With 143k i can next week go kbrom to bodene and faufusi to jbrom

Anything i am missing? Current team is
Smith brailey
Jwh wallace yates faufusi
Gallen hess et aubbs kbrom mck
Sj lamb elgey jacks
Smat kelly moga talaki
Rts guths cotric hayne suli
103k itb

I could wait on brailey but banking in other guns. If he peaks and i dont have the cash to upgrade i will trade out to dpp/2rf and upgrade through the forwards

Which out of talakai or Kelly would people trade out first? Or should I hold them both and hope they still make more $$? Cheers

Smith/Brailey
Fifita/Wallace/JWH/Hoare
JDB/Kaufasi/Hess/Siro/Yates/Smat
Norman/Lamb/Jacks/Elgey
Talakai/Idris/Kelly/Moga
Guth/Slater/RTS/Cotric/Suli
202k in the kitty

Kelly better job security I think and knows how to find the line. Talakai better byes if you like looking that far forward, but he may not be in the team in a months time.

About 250 from round 1

I'm wary of him too but he looks good in my second row with SMat down in the centres.

Showbags, if I get Bodene it will be for Talakai too, you not worried he'll make a bit more cash? I;m most likely trading Moga to Slater, but Talakai could get some nice price rises if he has a good game.

Hooker and 3 Front Rowers on the bench.
Fairly confident he will get 80 if nothing changes.

Not looking bad for your 2nd season.

A bit of bad luck with the Cartwright selection...

And if you are not too concerned with your centres than your gameplan looks good.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeh annoyed with Cartwright. There's not enough trades in a week to plug this hole.

Yeah talaki i think can have a hunt style run in the 40s if souths got going, went off for hia last game didnt he so reduced scores. But i could say same about moga, has the scores in him but does he have the opportunity? The only reason i am considering talaki in option 1 is i am 1k short of doing the same trade with moga. In option 2 it is a blatant cash grab, that being said i just did maths and wont be able to bring both bodene and whitehead next week for kbrom + cow.

For points and the fact i will want whitehead next week and jbrom the week after i think i might stick with option 1. Damn cotric keeps his spot in 17 for another week.

Agreed. Bodene should play 80. Kearney knows he has 3 back-rowers who can go 80, and most importantly he knows the biggest whole in the team is the FRF momentum. Play the back-rowers 80 and use the FRFs in short bursts to get the most out of them and that is probably the Warriors best hope.

They really need Luke to step up and get things going though. He has been a pretty big disappointment IMO!

100%

I don't think Luke is capable of 80 mins effectively, would like to see Roache get a crack for 20 min or so.
