A mate somehow managed the word 'trumpling' the other day.  After I'd finished hammering him he revealed he was trying to say trampling but his brain was saying stumbling.  I tried to explain Kimmorleyisms to him, but he doesn't do sport, so it was lost on him.

if Kimmorleyisms leaves him blank faced, you can explain that they are a portmanteau - which is the proper name for word like trumpling

Cheers, that makes more sense, I must have wrote it down wrong

Shithouse - (See NSW Origin Team)

I just had a peep over the guys team in 1st place, supertroopers, and noticed some odd trades last week.

Hess out, soliola in
f kaufusi out, JWH in

and the week before he traded Brailey for Luke

Is it just me or do you all think the guy might be throwing away a good start

Brailey has a more than attainable BE. Worth squeezing every last drop and hoping McInnes doesn't have a blinder.
Going with Macca personally. Them KM's

Some of you will be down under 25 trades now.

This means that there is at least 1 person in your squad who will be in your final 25.
And if you bring in someone with the intention of trading them out again later, then that makes 1 exra person in your current team who is in it for the long haul

They were traded for first bye round I'd say

I've had McGuire for about 4 weeks & his ceiling seems to be around 55 which is his b/e this week. Since he plays origin I would of sold him anyway before round 12. Would you consider any of these trades for McGuire:
Whitehead, Mannering, Bodene, Gallen, J. Graham, Vaughan, Aubusson or Taumalolo.
or would you keep him.

Thoughts & thanks.

Thinking possible keeper here, is there any reason not to trade in Nathan Brown?

Not picking up Ponga was a big mistake. Was not expecting his price to go boom.

Thoughts on this team? Trading out Lamb for Hampton and Kelly for Leilua.

Smith McInnes
McGuire Wallace F. Kaufusi Ese ese
JDB Surgess Aubusson CHN Winterstein Yates
SJ Jacks Hampton LG
BJ Idris Suli Fuimaono
RTS Slater Cotric R.Jennings Phythian

422k in the bank

If he stays at lock you could be right but if he moves back to the front row rotation he won't be.

Maybe Graham? Plays 12 and 18...actually byes are the other reason I suggested Brown. The Eels have great byes.

Macca also plays round 12 which is great.

Yeah after your post I realised I missed N. Brown off my list. I think N. Brown is a great pick due to byes & low ownership but Graham is probably a better pick for me as he's more of an established keeper. I'll upgrade 1 of my cows to N. Brown later on.

Hampton, Crichton, or both?

If you exclude that try N. Brown would of scored sub 50. I'm just not sure on him.
