... should I postpone my Bodene trade? (you don't have to answer this question... it's me talking to myself)

Give Bodene one week.
*You get to see if he plays 80 again
*If he breaks his BE then it's not end of the world and you feel better bringing him in knowing he is scoring
* If you bring in and he has a poor score, you will hate it knowing he is even cheaper and doubt yourself

Loomer wrote:Can't believe people are trading out Lamb and Smat scoring well bar mid game injuries and position shuffling. Do people just look at last week's score and this weeks BE?

But it's still funny to see

Last week it was Mitch Moses and Siro, both smash out big scores.. all talk dies down.

Hopefully that trend continues as I'm playing both Lamb and SMat again this week with Jacks on standby if Lamb drops out.

Bodene will make max $10,000 this week if he plays 80, sit and wait like you said fella

Wouldn't trade Lamb mate. Suli yeah, can see that for Slater. Walker is gonna ruffle some feathers. Most around here will say (you bought him in for a reason" but I'd be ok with trading him. If he ain't living up to expectations when you bought him in ANTICIPATING that he'd do something that he's not then how long do you give him. It's like that ex that's a dud root, how many chances does she really have? 

Gutherson and Slater would be the ideal move but that requires two backline trades. With your lack of DPP's I don't think that's possible right?

Nah - I might just do Moga to Slater and leave it at that

Lol, anyone that watched the game knows Moses would have choked on a big bag of D if Brooks hadn't got injured. Siro was certainly a more debatable one. I advocated holdin him in most instances yet traded him myself... Insta regret. Lol.

I like that. Then look at Gutherson just before byes. He's not gonna get a hell of a lot dearer and a half of yours shall have peaked by then. Or for that matter make Slater Gutherson over the byes as he's basically a shoo-in for origin it seems.

Also, can you just bite the bullet and make your profile pic a pack of winnie reds already? 

How about these trades if you are supplying advice!

Talaki to slater via cotric
Kbrom to bodene.

I could also do moga to chn this week, will allow me to monitor bodene for a week. However, if i go bodene this week, i can double trade next week to bring in whitehead and free cash up for jbrom the following week. For brailey, i am planning on trading out hess, otherwise if hess is going good i will trade out brailey to katoa when he peaks, then trade out a cow in 2rf when peaked to bring in hooker

Second option is
Talaki to slater
Moga to katoa (brailey planning) instead of chn

Again i will struggle to bring in jbrom bodene and whitehead in next 3 weeks....... unless i cash out elgey or another cow.

You wouldn't upgrade Lamb to a gun now if you have the chance?

No I'll get Bodene next week and Whitehead soon after and let Lamb make another 50k

Bodene will play 80. He always plays 80 and only started low minutes from lack of pre season due to injury. What established edge back rowers don't play 80 regularly

Haha, Winnie Blues for me

Probably best not to trigger the cravings for others by having a pack constantly popping up in the periphery.. especially in a game as stressful as fantasy.

So does Hoffman and Mannering so who does Bunty spell?

With all this talk of origin already, my team is going to be destroyed in a couple of weeks. I'll potentially lose:
Smith
James (possibly but doubtful)
Pearce
TTrbo
Slater

That is just about all my decent players. All this talk about making up ground during origin - I'm going to be the one trampled in the dust by all the teams ranked 10000 onwards...

Will take Lamb 4ish weeks to make 50k. So if you're trade in target is outta reach then ain't really viable is it. Then you spend an extra trade on a cash out and a trade in theory is worth 100k.

He's been dropped mate.

Because I'm an arse this comment would make me more likely to do such a thing!

Be wary tho, the PC police may request we remove such a thing.

Bunty was dropped before their last game and isn't in the top 17 this week Welshy mate

didn't realise that thought he was in the 21

nevermind carry on 

I traded out Smat. Hes the new Aubbs and I got in Tolo instead. Happy with my decision

He's in the 21 but not the 17.
