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

might be bang average, but he just banged out a 50 in 80 minutes made up of primarily base stats and theres a good chance he'll be keeping those minutes

Byes as well. Good choice

Only concern is holding the huge minutes, but I need something different to inject some scoring into my squad

Just keeping the thread honest.

Seeing his name more than anyone and it feels a bit like approaching business end of the fantasy season already and knights shouldn't be at the forefront of any business discussion!

Unless it's to upgrade Lamb, slag feeney, move SMat to centre or Hold Yates

Frawley to Feeney lol?

Fuck I need the cash. Rest of my team I'm okay with for now but I want to upgrade Brailey and maybe Cotric too soon. Y'know though all it would take is for Jeynolds or Mbye to get an injury for a few weeks and bam there's like 20 points a week from Frawley in kick metres alone.

Honestly only trades I'd consider making this week is so I'm closer to making an upgrade trade. There's no trades I NEED to make. Pretty annoying though.

Yates vs Stone. Yates seemed to be slightly out of favour a couple of weeks back and it seemed that he's only back due to the injuries. Stone seemed to be working up towards more minutes and got more of an opportunity first. So I'd say Stone is a pretty safe bet, Yates who knows. But I'm holding Yates and might bring in Stone for Siro.

I thought about this. But I'm banking on an injury to one of the Doggies too. Des can't keep this rotation up surely. If you need fast money though, it's not totally crazy.

Feeny might be an okay cashout, but we are yet to find out what really is going on with Hodko.

76k and 22 Trades

Thoughts on Abbey to a nuffie then Papalii to Stone? Chasing the cash, too risky with amount of trades left.

CS9 - Brailey
JMaG, JWallace - Fafusi, Papalii
Surgess, Pimple, PG13 - CHN, Chrichton, Yates
SJ, CNorman - Frawley, Jfield
Cotric, TTurbo - SMat, Idris
Slater, Ponga, RTS - Hayne, Abbey

Keen to know your thoughts. Cheers

Fucking nice team mate. I'd hold your trades.

I don't think I'll make trades this week. Aren't any real good cash cows to jump on and my 17 is looking decent other than the fact I have to pick one from Moga, Cotric and Suli every week to play in my centres.

In a week or two I'll upgrade Brailey to Macca

You're in a very similar situation to me, so I'd hold trades for this week

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

definitely considered it. but im not sure if pritchard is a 40, 50 or 60 point player. another drawback is that you may have to pull the trigger this week to maximise those profits

that means carrying pritchard and losing smith for 10 weeks. smith misses 3 origin games while kp only misses 1 game (they both miss 19).
so smiths score would be 7*60 = 420 while kp gets the two extra games so 9*(anywhere from 40 to 60 points) = 360 to 540.

if you think kp is a 50 point avg player then he will net 450 points (vs smiths 420) plus about 100k come week 19. the trade is worth it in my view. i am using 9300 as a rough magic number
if he is a 40 point player then smith scores more over this period and kp will not deviate much from his current price
if he is 60 avg player we all woulda traded him in already

Thinking of going

McGuire to Nbrown
Cronk to CNorman?

They don't seem very productive, better for byes, but about that. Im just burying my head in the sand over my Ctrs/wfb and pretending things are all good. Whats the worst that can happen.

Seems a bit sideways, but I can see what you are doing. Seems like your trying to come up with some trades for the sake of it? You're right, good for byes at least.

MWZ is joining the Tigers

This.

Who?

I'm pretty sure Maloney will be selected for SOO. What I don't know is who is likely to take his place and if they'd be worth bringing in as bye coverage. I should say, that's thinking ahead a few rounds, as that player will most likely be my cash out for Niko once he's done his thing until Hunt returns.

I'm definitely going Siro to Nathan Brown this round, however, i have to do one of the following two downgrade options to fund it:
1.) Elgey to Feeney or 2.)Kelly to Scott
How long is Hodkinson out for? Will Scott find his way into the Storm side during the Origin period?

Heya lads, 26 trades left and 11k itb. 

Smith, Brailey
Fifita, Vaughan, Kaufusi, Musgrove
McG, ET, Crichton, Whithead, CHN, Yates
Norman, Milf, Niko, Elgey
SMat, Cotric, Kelly, Idris
Turbo, RTS, Hayne, Suli, Abbey

Anyone see a worthwhile trade in there??

wolfking wrote:

At a guess Malaki Watene Zelezniak??

I'm think McGuire > Graham (byes) and Kelly > Hayne (cause Hayne has a point to prove).

Gives me ;

Smith, Pritchard
Vaughan, Graham
Burgess, Gallen, Crichton, Kaufusi, CHN, Hess
Johnson, Walker
Turbo, SMat
RTS, Slater, Hayne

Nuffs : Papa, Jensen, Frawley, Hingano, Idris, Rennings, Pythian, Fogarty.

Team looks ok on paper, but just can't seem to all perform together. Yet. Anyways, up the Bunnies and fuck the Bonzos.
