Cheers mate,

Should I look at moving Fifita and McGuire before anyone else??

Strange things can happen with origin selection. I tend to avoid trading origin guns until round 12 when the first bye starts. Doesn't take much for a bolter to get selected

Okay cool, how should I plan my trades from here? 
Look at trading players with the worst early byes for better byes?

Throw your team up and I'll have a look when I get a chance

Basically you want to grab a few Rabbitohs and Sharks players since they have decent byes. Priority is getting as many players as possible for round 12 while making sure you have 17 players for round 13. Still get 5 trades between round 13 and 15 to grab some of the round 15 guns you don't have

Whats peoples thoughts on Vaughan? He seems to be struggling fantasy wise now....anyone got any ideas why?

This is my lot.

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

Cheers for the help, I feel like I need more Eels/Rabbits

I'd be looking at ET Yates CHN out for some guys running out in round 12. Fifita/McGuire to Graham in round 12 would be a good trade providing both are selected

Middle forwards have always scored very poorly against the Storm. Vaughan is still a 50 average front rower mate.

He came back on for his second stint and within five minutes of that caught HIV. Went off at about 62nd minute for 15 or so minutes to return for the last 3 to 4 minutes. Would have scored 40 otherwise, which is reasonable given the scoreline and amount of dead time with tries/goalkicks/restarts/scrums etc.

Ah righto thanks. Didn't get to see the game so thanks for the insight. Didn't realise he had little game time

Updates took me to 926 for the round including Wallace and Captain Chricton. Could have been so much better but also so much worse. Up to 138th and looking to make up more ground next week.
Injuries over the rep weekend will be very interesting.

Loving my backline of Johnson, Norman, Dylan Walker, Tom Turbo, RTS, Slater and Ponga. Wonder whether Ponga will stick around.

Frank Winterstein's time has come to an end in my team. Thanks for the money. He will be one trade I will make.

Hopefully when things resume after rep round we may have an idea of who the best bye round cheapies will be.

That's interesting in itself though aye! I imagine many would have picked him up sometime around round 4 or 5 when he was averaging > 60 and looking like this years Ryan James. As you say, discounting this rounds 25, he has since averaged basically dead on 50.

Congrats on ur ranking by the way. How many positions did you make up this round?

My initial thoughts on trades this week are:
Winterstein out - A. Elliott in (assuming he starts again) &
Lamb out - Norman in

Has Elliott done enough to cement his spot in the 2fr. Knowing how Des works this may not be so clear cut but with the Bulldogs playing the first game in round 10 at least we'll know & won't have to guess.

BJ has got to be the laziest piece of Sh!t I've seen, dead set did zero against the Dogs and never looked like doing anything

I think those will be very popular trades for round 10!
Although Munster is hard to pass up

As an Elliot owner, I hope he starts from the bench again so not as many people pick him up

Was around 1,300th two rounds ago, back to back 900s and up to 600th last round, now 138th. Don't seem to have the problems that others are having in terms of leaving points on the bench each week.
My team is pretty screwed for round 12 at this stage but am targeting round 13 more so than round 12. Whilst I am behind the 8 ball on planning (e.g do not have Surgess, Gallen, Arey, CWalker etc) and may hold off given players like BT, TKO etc will score the same amount of points from now until round 15.

At this stage round 12 I have Chricton, Nathan Brown, Whitehead, SJ, Norman, RTS and a few others like Frawley, Niko etc. Will bring in Graham, TKO and BT hopefully before round 12.

But for round 13 I will have a gun 17 and try to make up some ground lost while others are without Gallen, Surgess, CWalker, AReynolds, Chricton, Fifita, Cook, Musgrove, Brailey etc

Well done mate thats a cracking score for this round, would've easily hit 1k without those setbacks.

The only reason is because he doesn't play round 12. I'll be looking at him for round 13 on. For me it comes down to Norman v Munster & ok Munster went big but before this round he was averaging less than 40.

Are you taking in account the game he got injured and the game he come off the bench with that average?
