Fifita to Nathan Brown. Hopefully free some cash and get a player who will play all the way to 16 while Fifi misses a few.

Also I see people wanting to jump on Munster. So he would play rounds 10 & 11 but misses round 12. I would wait until round 13 before getting him because then he plays rounds 13-18 before his 2nd bye in round 19. I think it's more important to get good player numbers for round 12 & any player you buy from now should play round 12.

Yeah also Walker doesn't play Round 13. It seems okay but when your back-up WFB's are Burns and Nicoll-Klokstad I'd have to cop an AE. Munster's someone I'd back to score better as a season long keeper than Walker but damn he's going to get expensive.

I have the cash to go Lamb to SJ, it would leave me with 53k itb but not enough to bring in both Munster and Cody Walker the following week which I was planning to do without making a downgrade elsewhere.

Or I could bring in Munster for Ponga and Walker for Lamb this week leaving me 35k itb which will leave enough to go McGuire to Brown next week.

Or I could go one of Munster or Walker this week with CHN to Whitehead or McGuire to Brown for the byes or just stop stuffing about and bring in an elite season keeper like Mannering for McGuire?

Or I could upgrade my centres? I'm quite happy running them as they are for the time being as I dont want to waste too much cash on this position.

I wont be changing my team too much over the byes as I dont devote enough time to fantasy to consider myself a true contender, I wont be trading players in and then trading them out after the byes.. I'm currently ranked 34th and expect to drop a fair bit over the byes but with a bit of luck I may be able to come home strong like I did in 2015.

My team after the C.Walker trade this week leaving me with 20 trades and 78k itb.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've pulled the trigger on this trade as well.
DPP + small bit of extra cash + two extra games. Nathan Brown seems to be averaging high 50s now so may outscore Fifita (in total score) for the rest of the season. Fifi always a good chance of copping a suspension too though doesn't seem as bad this year so far apart from wanting to fight someone in the crowd.

He will provide a service from 13-18 rounds, 6 rounds without a bye. That is all he will be for me at this stage and I will reassess round 19.
JBrom and Harris could do a job too, as it is likely they will pick up the slack with no 80 minute hooker during half of this period.

I mean Guth only scored 53 with two tries and goalkicking and now has Moses and French hanging around taking the 5/8th/fullback slots. He will probably end up at centre/wing.

Is anyone going to take a punt on Guth, French, Semi, Mau or Moeroa given they play every round from now to round 16?

French, Semi or Mau could be worth the gambles?
