What do you guys think?

I'm thinking Sironen to Surgess.

I like Siro to Surgess too. The byes is just a bonus
I'm hanging onto Lamb for a bit longer to see how the noHodko experiment goes.
I hate having TTurbo in my team. I don't wish it on my worst enemy

Team this week. Rank 226, 33k in the bank.  

Smith, Brailey (R)  
JWal, Fifi, Leota, Kaufusi (R)
Gal, Manners, ET, Crichton (R), Sele, Whitehead (R)  
SJ, A Rey, Hampton, Frawley
Cotric, Sione, Idris, Rennings
Guth, Slater, RTS, Abbey, Burns  

- Brailey has become trade out target #1. I can't afford Macca so I'm aiming for Jake Friend who'll hopefully not have more bench hooker nonsense to deal with.  

- Frawley has to go. I'm not sure who for yet but I need cash and he's going to start losing it soon. Feeney for the lols? If no Field or Nona I'm not sure I want to run with a red dot but a red dot was better than Feeney last year and lost less cash.

- I had Black Widow in mind as the ideal trade-out target for Cotric. However given my lack of cash I might have to re-think that. Idris when he gets back is a decent CTR scoring option too so I might not need a gun CTR necessarily but who knows when he'll get back.

This is the first week ive been stuck on what trades to make. I dont really like any of the back downgrade option and cant decide on who to bring in as the upgrade anyway.

Any ideas

$145,000

Smith Cook
Vaughan Wallace Brown Kaufusi
JDB Crithon Hess Thompson CHN Winterstien
Norman Niko Elgey Hingano
SMat Moga Kelly Idris
Turbo RTS Cotric Suli Rennings

thinking Cotric to Hayne as the downgrade then either Kelly to Crocker/BJ or Weinterstein to Gallen or Elgey to ??

Johnny B. Goode
Thanks for the advice. My team is:

Smith, Brailey,
Graham, JWH, Lisone, Matagi
Gallen, Burgess, Whitehead, Chricton, F.Kaufusi, CHN
Johnson, Nikko, Frawley, Hingano
Cotric, S.Mat, Idris, R.Jennings
Tedesco, Slater, RTS, Ponga, Montoya

I cannot see where to get the funds to upgrade to a decent half.
I have 79k in the kitty.

I'm going to trade out Jacks. Do I bring in Feeney? Haha I'm obviously a glutton for punishment

Only 2 options i can see is Lisone to Tetavano or Spina but it wont raise enough cash this week alone. The 2nd option is to cash out Ponga early, but i wouldnt really recommend it, just wait till Coote is back and put up with Nikko at half until then.

@Shanbon maybe elgey and cotric to cwalker or arey +nuff?
i would put elgey near the top of the cull list because he is named at #14 this week. id be worried he comes on for 20 minutes and loses cash.

i like your hayne idea as well. he looked very involved last week. only negative is he is not very bye friendly

Thanks Shanbon. I am done to 23 trades as it is. Good advice.

He got 8 points in 20 minutes. That's like half his average score over 80 minutes in 2016. The guy is a living meme and an absolute dud in the waiting but for the sake of having someone playing then maybe?

Not to many players i like are bye friendly this year. I think Arey should play Origin so will have to steer clear. I can afford Cotric to Hayne and Elgey to Walker but would mean Walker is a keeper in my team

Elgey to Munster if you can raise $20kish funds somehow? BKelly is a good target to downgrade. Then you can upgrade Moga/Cotric next or after r12

I missed yesterdays action, can anyone enlighten me as to the reason for the red dots on F Kaufusi and RTS? There's nothing in the casualty ward section for them .... is it just because their squads haven't been announced yet?

What about Ryan Simpkins instead of Stone? I think he's about 7k cheaper.

Yeah why the hard-on for Stone? I think he's bang averag. Yates is the better player of those fringe Knights

I thought he looked good actually Mann

Looks like we have to contend with Field being nothing more than a cheap red dot this year. Could be worse!







Feeney

Think I'm going to bring in N. Brown been outstanding last few weeks

Byes as well. Good choice

hess to stones and suli to norman via fogerty

cs9 cook

surgess lolo manners (CHN) (crichton) stones
pearce sj (norman) frawley
cotric talikai kelly idriss
rts slater ponga fogerty pythian
45k itb rank 1

not 100% sold on these trades as yet, contemplating cs9 to pritchard for the bye rounds, keep hess trade suli to norman via fogerty and spend the extra $ on ctr's next week.

any cs9 owners trading him out , then back in after origin?

cheers
