Possibly he'll oust Naiqama for a starting spot. But Naiqama gets a lot of love at the Tigers. Maybe Cleary doesn't rate him and wants to get rid of him ASAP. Guess we'll get more clarity come next Tuesday

Firstly, the Tigers are being linked to a few players but no word on how far negotiations have progressed. Players include, Lolohea, Alex Johnson, Hopoate, Connor Watson, Aiden Guerra and Russell Packer.

Again this is also a rumour but someone posted there about some chatter on the Roosters forum  that Teddy hasn't signed yet and there was a chance he may not.

Apparently he and Moses have moved into an apartment together and want to keep playing footy together so supposedly Parra have offered him a lucrative deal. To sweeten the deal for the Tigers and and to encourage them to release Moses, they are offering them Beau Scott and Gutho.

It's all happening if its true but I'm not too sure about this last one, it sounds like it may be true but I dont know.  I'm just passing on what I read.

Of course the money helps as well & I'm sure this was the main reason but he wouldn't admit this. So this rumour that he now wants to play for the Eels because he wants to keep playing with his mate at the Eels doesn't line up with his original intention of wanting winning a premiership because I don't think the Eels have a chance to win a premiership. Mind you as I said it's all about the money & Tedesco has backflipped a couple of times & gone with the highest bid so if the Eels offer more than the Roosters I'd say he'll backflip once again.

Smith, (Brailey)
JWH, Kaufusi, (Yates, nuff)
Crichton, Surgess, Whitehead (Bodene, Stone, Simpkins)
SJ, Cleary, (nuff x 2)
BJ, Smats (M.Jennings, Cotric)
Slater, RTS, Tedesco, Hayne, (nuff)

18 trades left only, no money.

No cashies have really capped out except for Cotric who I guess I should hold anyway.
Can probably only afford 2-3 trades to deal with round 12 I guess.

Was thinking Tedesco to Munster since he will probably play Origin. And with the extra little cash Cleary to Norman. That gives 1 more round 12 player and 1 less Origin player.

Not sure if there are better trades available.

They never have & they never will. The current team doesn't have a good enough pack.

If he is a spud then you might get another 30 points in some bye rounds. Best part of this trade for me is that instead of playing Kelly/Talakai each week and sitting one of Suli/Cotric I can play them both

If that's what you have now then you are going to kill it with a few well timed trades. How many do you have for the other rounds as if you can't field a strong 17 in them then that maybe where you lose points to most again.

What's your rank mate?

Wow that's looking good (what you have already or what you are planning?) although I would be concerned about your round 16 team if you're heavy on Eels and Rabbits. I've been fucking around with a spreadsheet all weekend and with extremely vigorous bye trading I intend to have for the six bye rounds:

16, 17, 15, 15, 15, 15. Only leaves five trades for the run home though. Cutting it too fine?

Assumptions: Tualau plays 12 and 18, Scott plays 15 and 18, Abbey plays none, and my cashouts play one game. Only 15 players for round 16 but they should all be guns, and Tualau might be a bonus that round given the Bulldogs play the Friday meaning only a two day turn around from origin.

Over planning? Let's see what injuries the rep round throws up.
