Random wrote:So I have to start one of these guys this week.
K. Bromwich/C. Sironen
Then, I need to pick 4 reserves from whoever is not chosen above and the following guys.
J. Brailey, Z. Musgrove, P. Kaufusi, C. Harawira-Naera, L. Yates, K. Elgey, R. Jacks

I would particularly if it is a guy who doesn't have much left to earn by the looks. So Moga/Suli for mine.
I am trading out both guys above this week and spending $200k to do so, and bringing in a gun.

Which gun?
Was looking at Moga for Slater and Talakai for Bodene. It's a toss up between Suli and Talakai though I think.

Thanks man. I'm hesitant to trade out Hayne at this stage. I've held him for a while already, he's only 2/3 weeks from returning, and I think he's almost certainly a better player than Suli/Cotric/Kelly etc. He didn't look so flash for his first couple of outings with the Titans this year but he's also capable of stringing together a few tackle breaks into a try and putting out 50+ games. At least I hope so anyway. I kinda wanna take a punt on him.wolfking wrote:Welcome mate. Suli scored a pretty easy 30 on the weekend, so I'll probably hold, but what you are looking to do looks good. If it means bringing in Bodene, it could be worth it. Saying that, Burns needs tries to get points and money. What about trading Hayne instead?
ThanksWarriors wrote:I wouldn't be buying Burns because hes likely to only get you 10 points in round 12, not worth it. May I suggest Prior out anyway, Moves Yates up, move smat up and given you playing cotric anyway move him to centre and buy slater? seems good value. Then when suli, Kelly, Uate actually peak you can move smat back down which may only be 1 or 2 weeks time?
Great team by the way and you just need to be patient and upgrade your fullbacks/centres and brailey soon. Then maybe upgrade Sironen to PODene next week?
. With Slater, are we sure he's gonna keep being value? He's gotten 5 and then 6 tackle breaks in his first two games to push his scores up, but is he likely to keep doing this?Thanks heaps man. Yeah, that FRF seems good but Graham and Fifi just keep disappointing. They've depreciated about $100K combined and look to keep dropping. Expect they will get better soon though.Random wrote:
Welcome mate,
HOK: Should be set for awhile with Brailey, but will need to look at having funds to trade him out sooner than later.
FRF: Looks really strong, I don't think Prior will make too much cash so you could look at either swapping him out for someone who will or for a gun.
2RF: Everyone is earning cash or doing solid amount of work. However I don't see any of the guys being out and out gun keepers. Though your starting squad have potential, I see them being those borderline keepers. The guys you get stuck with for the year and they do a great amount of work but you know there are better options.
HLF: Stacked.
CTR: About average with what everyone else is running which is good.
WFB: Looking really thin and probably the area of most concern for you to make things happen.
Overall:
I don't personally like the Suli -> Burns trade. It just seems way to sideways. However you mentioned you have to make this trade to bring in Thompson this round who looks to be at his lowest value for the year, so I would definitely make the trade just to bring in Thompson. Then you have the little extra facts you mentioned that help you out anyway. So that is the best option for your squad. The back 3 will need some addressing.

Move Cotric into CTR and trade out SMat for Slater.Vanish wrote:Hey guys, new here, although I've been lurking for a while. Starting up playing Fantasy again this year after playing one year in 2014. Currently sitting at rank 1918th with this team:
McCullough (Brailey)
Fifita Graham (Prior F.Kaufusi)
Buhrer McGuire J.Wallace (Sironen Stimson Yates)
Norman SJ (Jacks Elgey)
S.Mata'utia Kelly (Idris Suli)
Cotric Uate RTS (Hayne Abbey)
10K ITB, 30 Trades Left
Anyway, weird trade I'm considering this week that noone else seems to be contemplating, but cashing out Suli for B. Burns? Suli probably has one more round of price rises left, but after a low round 1 score and suspension this week Burns has only seem a price rise of $4K and has plenty of rises left, and helps me fill out my team for round 12. Cashing out Suli now would let me roll him into another cashie, where as I'm worried that if I hold him to squeeze out an extra $15K or so then I will be forced to kill off the position to cash him out.
The $79K I get from Suli > Burns would also let me go Prior > Podene, which is definitely a plus. Thoughts?

I'd do it. gets him into your team for points but he's just as likely to start putting on 15k, 20k and back up to late 400s within the next few weeks.
Random wrote:Also re. Slater, in the handful of games he played in 2015 (6 games I think) he averaged almost 4 tb's per game. In 2014 and 2013 he averaged over 40 points for the season. He has also looked so sharp in bringing the ball back he is likely to make 3-4 TB's just from kick returns themselves throughout games.
Random wrote:Not annoying, considering we have guys like SI here I am impressed.
Yeah I know all about Fifita being disappointing. I do think they have a chance to bounce back hard. I personally feel like Fifita is pushing me into a tight situation as when Origin rolls around if he hasn't improved it will be hard to justify keeping him. Graham's issue at the moment is his minutes and not how he is scoring really. Would definitely want him to play larger stints if holding onto him.

Does that get you enough $ to go Prior out for Thompson?
Vanish wrote:
I was at the Parra game and it seemed like Fifi was tearing us apart, but he only managed to get 38 points. He was so close a couple of times to going over against the Dragons as well, but came just short of a couple of tries. I think he's due a big score soon.
As with Graham, Des has twice this year rested him with 5-10 minutes left to play. It is probably a decent strategy for preserving your best player for the season, especially since the Manly game was so horribly one-sided already when he came off, but it's really not good for my fantasy
I've never liked Slater and I think it's colouring my perception. You and everyone are probably right, he's value and I should definitely look into him.
That trade would let me bring in Thompson, but I don't think I want to throw away SMat just yet. I'd probably trade Prior > Slater through DPP and then look to upgrade a CTR/WFB into Thompson/Whitehead in a week or two.

Spectre wrote:Is this worth 2 trades so early on?
Elgey > red dot
Lamb > Cleary

Cleary is the base stats king when it comes to HLF's (I think) so why not? Bit early in the season for red dots though.
