Something tells me I should play Jacks over Lamb even if he's in this week.

Lamb -> Thompson
Moving May into HLF and playing Jacks with SJ.

Moga -> CHN
Moving SMat into CTR.

Are these good trades?

Hey Dreamer... I am hoping you mean Bodene and not Joel. If so, I can get on board with this. Assuming your other half is not also a red dot. No way I have two red dots in my halves this early on in the season. I personally have Lamb and will be hanging on to him regardless of what happens this week.

The second trade idea is much better. There are some guys on here that would advocate holding Moga as he is all base stats but he has peaked. Never, EVER, rely on tries to achieve a BE. If a cash cow jags one then bonus but if you are preempting them to anticipate a BE then you are reaching in a big way. Moga goes IMO. Whether or not you bring CHN is the contentious decision in this trade. What is the make up of the rest of your second row mate?

Ok, tbf, I'll not look at foot fetishes or midget porn but pretty much anything else is fair game!

HIT ME UP!

What do you see Feeney averaging and is it too soon to go JDB -> Feeney?

Next question, do you think the ogre in my profile is better or worse than Friz, both as a person and player?

Last question for now, where am i going to find the motivation to do work today, its not a great start to the morning if the last 5min are anything to go by?

Apologies if this exact question as been answered

But if COREY TPG is treated exactly the same as TRD and scores 30 for 2 more weeks what will be his price rises? Or atleast will milchows price predictor be accurate for his situation?

Traded in TRD for the hidden price rises which never eventuaTed so wary of doing this again!

Of course it's Bodene.

My other HLF is Elgey.

I have Mannering, McGuire, ET, Sironen

Feeney will average potato. I would only go JDB to Feeney if the extra cash allows you to bring in someone else of amazing standing in our beloved game. I think Brad Abbey is a great pick up. Don't think you'll be able to make it in a single trade tho, may need a cash out.

I don't see an ogre in your profile pic. I see a slightly overweight white guy covered in tramp stamps he'll likely regret when he is 40 and his "career" (for want of a better term) is over.

Friz wears plain black boots, hence this pretender isn't fit to lick the urinal the great man passes in. But only cos of the plain black boots.

In times of struggles like this I find three things really help me. 1) a blunt in the morning before work or during my first "smoke" break really helps me not give a fuck. 

2) some tunes can really change my outlook on the days prospects. I like to go with a little "lets get it on" (cover by The Vaslentines really works). Makes me hope that I may get lucky later in the day and therefore the day goes faster. I love it but need to open a gofundme.com page to cover the costs of constantly replacing my fleshlight.

3) I don't actually HAVE to work. I do it because I'd get bored. Waking up in the morning, ringing my employer and saying "fuck it, I ain't coming in today" is really liberating and helps me deal with the 9-5 grind. I attempt to do this at least once a week. Unfortuantely, due to the above problem, I may actually need to work for a few days.

What if i told you he has a rare colour blindness where he see's black as hot pink and doesn't realise the boots are black, would that change anything?
PS: Definitely an ogre, you're just fooled by his outer layer, they have a lot you know, like onions.

If Lamb is out for one week is he a hold if you have Jacks and Elgey to cover him?

I brought him in last week, same time i brought in Jacks. If you believe its just a coincidence, then i think hold. If you think there is something more to it...

Not sure I'd trade Lamb out when he misses one week (if any) when your other half is Elgey. If you really want to strengthen you CTR position and feel that SMat is the way to go to do that then I'd do that via Moga and CHN in one trade. Lamb is a hold tho.

@Mearcats - will this rash ever go away ?

he cannot possibly be an ogre as they are quite large and this guy in question would stand knee high to Frodo. If, and by god I hope this isn't the case, but IF the Frizzing legend does turn out to suffer from such a problem and really would prefer to have hot pink boots then I would have to put him down a peg or two on the ladder. To the same position as Papalii of the J variety. About 10 rungs above the pudding shaped gnome in your profile pic.

The way I see it is, Bodene is a keeper at a bottomed out price and plays the first bye round.

Lamb will never be a keeper and plays for a team that could get spanked most weeks which will hinder his scoring ability.

Random wrote:If Lamb is out for one week is he a hold if you have Jacks and Elgey to cover him?

If you only have Jacks and Elgey then I'd be concerned and MAY consider trading Lamb out (he's a cow, not a keeper anyways) but surely you built your team better than this Random! You're one of the great ones... I looked up to you... I aspired to be you. I was gonna name a first born in you honour.
















*not mine cos fuck kids, but I would've given someone elses kid the name for sure!
