In the forwards you can basically use others that are very close in avgs but in the backs there is a big difference from the top few to the next level. I have only 1 of the back 5    

Surprised Fifita is there tbh. Damn.
I have 2 of the back 5 and none of the halves so there is no surprise

so this week i will do ponga to hayne and E.T to gallen will leave me with16 trades and only 1k in the bank what is a worry. Really hoping i can do a kaufusi to graham straight trade in the next few weeks.

mcinnes cook
tolman kaufusi JWH ese'ese
gallen surgess JDB mannering crichton CHN
norman cleary niko nuffie
croker turbo idris scott
RTS hayne slater nuffie nuffie

looking at the team i will need to downgrade chn to a nuffie to upgrade the likes of cook and jwh

All is well!

Sharks sign Ava Seumanufagai for next season.

Tiger sharks!

I miss TLT

If Hunt is back for the next round, I will trade Niko for Gutho.

Get those Eels players lads!

You can't spell Radradra without radar

Ponga. Buy? Hold? Sell?

And

GO

God, that guy.

I've been running out Tedesco every week for 10-20pts less and few hundred k more

Indeed.

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

I'm going to hold just in case Coote re-injures himself. He probably deserves to keep his place based on his attacking abilities.

Ponga is just so consistent...I'd be guttered to see him dropped.

The news of Hunt coming back early kinda puts a spammer in the works, was hoping to get that round 12 game out of Niko.

I will probably take the risk, but I think I will wait to see Round 12 team lists.

You'd think Ponga grabs a wing spot.

Yeah absolutely you'd like to think so, though if he goes to a wing will he be as effective? I'd be tempted to trade Ponga out. In fact if Ponga doesn't play round 11 I'll make use of his value to get CWalker for the byes.

Welcome back buds! Good to see I'm not the only dickhead with all of IPapalli, Field and 4 Fullbacks you have proper halves though so you win the fantasies

Norman is the planned trade for Brock Lamb. Every chance Norman gets injured in training and I have to reverse the trade knowing my luck!

Yeah true. I'm a Nonga, but for those who have him I guess he is a sell. Allthough I have him in my Ultimate Draft where he scored half what he did in Fantasy last week .

I wonder if Coote gets the 14 for a couple of games coming back and Ponga gets a couple more at fullback.

With 16 trades and no cash that really leaves you 8 gun upgrades. (1 downgrade plus 1 upgrade for each gun) Id either not trade this week or at least looking at what 17 you want to run with and go from there. ie are you going to play 2 or 3 front rowers, if only 2 maybe look at cashing out JWH instead of the Hayne trade in and then go from Ponga to your final 17 WFB Gun the following week. (i doubt its Hayne). Still do the ET to Gallen trade this week as you pretty much have your final backrow using CHN as a cashout. I guess the CHN money can be used on upgrading Kaufusi and Tolman (post byes) Idris cash to upgrade Niko to 3rd Half. I have no idea where you get the Cook to Smith cash though, thats why i hate burning spots early as those 4 nuffies(i include Scott) could be making cash for that last upgrade.

They should play coote in the halves with JT and put Morgan on the bench. Morgan has been crap

Can Coote play Halfback? Maybe if for whatever reason JT isn't playing Coote could fill in there and leave Ponga at FB.

I think the smart thing to do is sell Ponga by R12 though, my teams not good enough to have 400k sitting on the pine if he's not a certainty to play lol
