I wouldn't trade Tedesco out until he is named for origin. One of the few players that can score triple figures any given week. Terrifying to watch as a non owner and it's only origin stopping me bringing him in

Yeah he is surely in the blues team and if not still has rubbish byes but he's prob going nowhere for now. I have Hayne sitting as 4th best WFB so will wait and see how he scores

I am having trouble trading ET.
Boy just works his ass off each game- how can I axe a man who plays with that much heart from my team? He could become Whitehead at any point over the next 1-2 weeks or he could become Brown this week. But I jus dun wanna make ol' ET sad.

This is essentially the same problem I have with Latrell's red dot and 330k staring at me from the pine.
Come back to me, Latrell....

you are keeping Latrell for R12 aren't you and riding the rollercoaster if/when he returns

KNik in QRL this year

5 games for a fantasy average of high 30s

Boosted by a 70 odd last week with 2 tries.
Other than that his average is around 30

He is not the major kicker for Norths Devils (Todd Murphy is) so he might get some more playing with Milford.

haha not that wild mate, gave me the shivers that idea did and I love CWalker

Kelly to Crichton via Sione

Yay or nay?

Other than two trades (and another trade to get rid of Hampton) there's not much to lose there. Well actually I think Hampton is a worry.

I'm keeping ET. It was Tolo that was running at him and it was always ET first one up there to low him down.

He wont have the 10million dollar man running at him each week

Frawley not getting the halfback gig halts everything at the moment. Good chance he'll come in on the bench again, but I'm not trading unless he's wearing the number 7 I think.

I've gone cold on Hampton too. Thurston I reckon will be out this week and potentially back next week, if not the week after and I thought Leary looked at lot better at hooker. Bringing Hampton in now for about 1 game or 2, good chance Leary keeps the 9 jersey til Granville gets back and Hampton back to a 10 minute utility.

Need to offload Lamb but nothing really tempting me now. KNik is hit and miss and can at least wait a week. If I trade it could be a straight for of Musgrove to Crichton. But will have to wait and see. Don't want to burn two trades for the sake of it. No backs worthwhile either. My team;

Smith Brailey
Fifita Wallace Musgrove Yates
Surgess Hess Bodene Siro Kaufusi Winterstein
Norman Lamb Jacks Elgey
SMat Turbo Idris Kelly
RTS Ponga Slater Cotric Suli

Really, Lamb my only concern this week.

So what happened with his score the week before last? No try there.

A lot of casuals (ie. a few of my mates) are trading Cody Walker in this week, so I expect that 4.18% ownership to steadily rise. They're H2H players and aren't bothered by his bad byes for H2H, so expect all the total point players to be jumping on him too.

He's the cheapest of the top 4 gun WFBs with a big gap behind that includes a slew of injured players.. and 4th highest HLF average, so wasn't going to fly under the radar for long.

I'm tempted to hold Lamb for another week or two to ride out Normans massive BE. A 40 pt BE is by no means unachievable and an acceptable score to take as the second half.

If he gets a 50ish thats 20K knocked off the price and would be a nice trade in for Lamb or Jacks in a week or two.

I'm still yet to find a solution for French. Not too many options to downgrade/upgrade in my price. Is Braiden Burns worth bringing in as a slow burn cow. I've other options at WFB with Slater, RTS and Cotric at the moment with Jayne to come back.

Bugger

$2K short of Kelly to DPP nuffie and Yates to Whitehead.

Thats shite.

Odd, I'd be all over Teddy if i was a H2H player.

I've finally settled on my 2 trades

Gutherson out - Slater in &
Yates out - Crichton in (via McGuire)

Smith, Cook
Fifita, McGuire, Wallace, F. Kaufusi
JDB, Surgess, Hess, Crichton (CHN, Winterstein)
SJ, Lamb (Jacks, Field)
Idris, Cotric (Talakai, Kelly)
Slater, RTS, Ponga (R. Jennings, Abbey)

Hess to Surgess leaves Zero for me. Def. signs that

Was it you who dished up my first loss last week in L7?

That league is on fire btw. Well done guys. I think I'm having a good season and ranked about 5th or 6th in the overall that league!

Yes, it was I.

Yeah, I am the same. I am ranked 7th in that league and top 150 overall.

Solid. Happy to keep running with Lamb mate? Thinking of leaving him for another week myself.

Yeah, I think the mindset is something like: Teddy - origin, and Tigers suck.. Nofoaluma - Teddy's probably better.. Rapana - too expensive.

Cody coming off his season high 67 probably doesn't hurt either haha.

Shit, in that case I'm 8th in that league because I'm 400th ish.

That's crazy 12th in fanatics overall but only 8th in L7

Mini league is crushing it
