I'm also looking to trade out Kelly but am considering Curtis Scott. Slater, Cronk and Chambers appear almost certain for origin and Scott could be a bye player for two games and then there's no risk of a dud AE later on which MWZ  could be. I haven't seen him play but must be going okay for Easts considering he's been picked for the junior kangaroos. Problem is he may be just one rung down the pecking order if Bellamy replaces the origin players with YT, Jacks and Croft. Who fills in for Cam Smith? Edit, probably Brandon Smith. Hmmm, thoughts on Scott?

i brought scott in a few weeks ago as a cash out

People forgetting that Green is only playing Ponga out of necessity. Ponga is still going to the knights so hes not about to jump ahead of the NRL regulars in the cowboys side.

And

GO

This week I'll trade lamb to Munster then next week ponga to norman by shifting Munster to wfb. Means im running Munster in my final 17 but im confident he will finish a top 3 wfb.

Indeed.

Will he hit good form now that the court case is behind him??

God I hope so - I've been carrying him all season and apart from the one score of 78 he's been horrocious

That poor guy. Would rather play reserves.

Gallen in line for a superannuation top up if Woodsy is out of Origin 1

Mouse is hovering over N brown.

Ready made replacement with the added value of DPP and all 3 not 2 of the bad byes (should it happen)

Opened the newspaper this morning to find the City origin team have named TBA as a center. I can't find him anywhere in the available fantasy players.
Bloody disgrace.  

I've jumped on the latest big scorer in the 2nd row for a while and it's made some money and points.
But there ends up being a reckoning.
I have Surgess, Jallace, Faufisi, A Crich, Tulip and Chess.

Chess will loose money faster than J Graham so that's one trade (via NBrown)
Think there's still potential in the others but they are all on notice.

Don't think Scott gets a run even if Slater Cronk and Chambers all get selected for Origin


1.Munster
2.Vunivalu
3.Blair
4.Tonumaipea
5.Addo-Carr
6.Jacks
7.Croft

I think you should dive into that trade.

Who benefits from Woods out for up to 8 weeks?

Woods to some origin games, if Vaughan and Gallen play, I'll be fucking dirty. Picked them from the start specifically for not playing SOO.

Hi folks. This has been my first year playing nrl fantasy was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice on trades for the bye rounds.
5013 rank, 16k in the bank, 21(2) trades left.

Smith Pritchard
McGuire Fifita Ese ese Wallace
Whitehead Crichton Thompson De belin Kaufusi Stone
Norman Nikorima Hampton Littlejohn
Chambers Matautia Idris Kelly
Cotric Hayne RTS Burns Suli

Seumanufagai, Tim Grant and Sauaso Sue would be the top 3 props. but they are all around $300k and I'm not sure that fantasy-wise they would be worth it.

At $171k, JJ Felise is perhaps a bit too much above base price to be that useful too - but he is probably next in line

Noone really fantasy relevant with the Tigers poor byes. Cheers bud

Im still not sure Vaughan gets a look in for Origin. I think the Woods injury actually saves Tamou's spot. Theyll go Tamou/JTurbo starters Klemmer/Fifita bench. (other bench spots will be a utulity and Wade Graham)

Hey mate, welcome and good work on the first year. I'm not to one to take advice from with only my second year, but at this stage last year I was still figuring out to rectify the mistakes I made in round 1 (Thaiday, Granville - all these guys that I thought are good players, but no idea that this doesn't transfer to fantasy). I ended up finishing about 12000th!

The team looks good. You've still got a lot of cash to milk, so you'll need to start this soon to make some moves.

Not factoring in byes - 2RF is set. FRF is set. Halves could do with an upgrade as could WFB - I'm looking to add munster now and probably Norman in a few weeks when Knik has maxed out. You're too short to milk Kelly and Littlejohn/Hampton to get Munster (not sure on dollars), so maybe you have to wait a week to use Suli/Cotric to fund it.

Perhaps you could do the same with Chambers considering he's going to play origin - so Chambers and Hampton to Munster and MWZ (via Cotric or Suli)?

Welcome aboard Babou. Hpe yo get involved here.
I'd be looking at your halves. You need another keeper to join Norman there.

Hey mate welcome to the forum

I'd look at who your origin players are and look to replace them with good bye week players that are ideally bottomed out

Smith mcguire chambers to
Jake friend James graham and Cody walker

Those 3 trades would maximize your bye scores

JJ felise and spina could be nice upgrades for a front row red dot like i.papalii.

both play rnds 13 through to 16. but cost a trade and 40k
