Brailey worth getting an R this week? Reckon he'd get decent minutes on the field?

It's interesting that Tyrell Fuimaono has stayed in the 19 for Rabbits. He plays centre, so not sure what that's about or if I'm reading too much into it. He's listed as 2RF also.

Still not set on who to start out of Cotric/Kelly/Suli/Talakai...

Also not sure who to reserve out of TPG/Yates/either one of those centres I don't start/Elgey. Assuming SMat plays of course

I think so. It's a week to week thing at the moment but I think it's worth the risk

Moga hit his break-even with a 25.

It's something!

Makes me nervous about joining the tulip fest of CHN.
Would be trading him in for Hoare so have to decide today

If it's just a cash out, why be nervous?

Yeah same here, and worst of all hes still the best WFB I've had all year, even just for one game.

On the Rabbits forum they are crying for this fella to get a crack over Talakai.

Stone to CHN
Rennings to Slater

Someone convince me to keep Talakai or Rennings

Thats the way i'm trying to look at it but i hate ending up with a red dot a week after a trade in, this early in the season.

There's really no one else downgrading to which will fund upgrades elsewhere.

He could be one of these guys that forces his way into the line up.

For the record, I'm passing just because I don't think I want to cash out my centres yet.

Brailey is an NPR for me this week (and was last week too) Last week was inflated by a try and surely he doesn't get anymore than 60 mins with Segeyaro on the bench. Has still got some money to make though

Because if I spend all my trades on deadwood that don't play or make money, I'll soon end up with a crap-arse team and no trades

Is it worth a trade to swap Papali the red dot dud to CHN?

Yep. Week by week but they talked Brailey up deluxe and he has done what they asked of him. I did have a slush fund set aside to upgrade him in a couple of weeks, but blew that on Podene and moved Maubbs down to Centre to partner SMat there.

I did Stone, but next choice would have been Crapali.

To be honest though, I wanted to wait as long as possible into the round in case TPG gets benched or worse, but my trade involved Moga so had to do it last night.

My thoughts exactly, had 250K there for his upgrade but I think we have a few weeks to worry while Macca/McInnes level out. That's what I'm pulling the trigger on with Bodene too. Who did you trade to get Bodene in mate?

I went Moga out, Maubbs to centre, Podene in. Also went Stone to TPG to hopefully help build the bank back up in a couple of weeks time.

I went Moga to Slater and now just weighing up to punt Talakai, Suli or Ponga for Bodene. Leaning towards Talakai, but just that feeling of punting someone that is playing and could post a score is putting me off. It's for a cut price Bodene though so shouldn't matter. Would mean SMat can partner Turbo in the centres.
