Don't know who I'll turn Norman into.

Reynolds would be the logical choice but I already have Walker in the halves and dont want to run with 2 rabbits there. My only real choice is to upgrade to SJ or downgrade to someone bye friendly.

If I have the cash I prefer upgrading to a keeper now, that way I save a trade later on. SJ plays rd 12 but not 15 and 18

SJ plays rounds 13 and 16, which helps in the rounds when Walker is out. Depends on your team setup, but that could be valuable.

I'm also trying to focus my trades on bringing in keepers. I have Johnson already and won't be trading him unless he's injured.

How are you for trades? Sea Eagles miss 12 and 15 so that's at least 6 weeks of 400k sitting in the nprs.

22 and 112K. My team definitely took a hit this week;

Smith Brailey
Fifita Wallace Kaufusi Yates
Surgess Brown Crichton Bodene CHN Elliot
Norman Niko Frawley Lamb
Smat Turbo Kelly Idris
RTS Cotric Slater Ponga Suli

I'll have to wait for team lists I think. I have plenty of depth which is a relief but, Norman, Turbo and Ponga hurts. Walker and Munster is who I'm looking at. Could go straight to SJ too.

Since they have the bye in 16, I see them holding off until round 17.

Brown or Graham this week?

Graham will be even cheaper next week with a BE in the 70's.

Depends on your planned trades. If you can afford to hold off, I would.

Do we get 3 trades next week?

Hope so. Will allow me to bring in 2 of Brown, Graham and Surgess for McGuire, CHN, Kaufsi.

is Mannering still due back next week (rd12)?

I want to sell Kaufusi who has a BE of 55
Graham will score around 60 with a BE of 72

I think it's worth pulling the trigger a week early?

I haven't seen anything to the contrary yet.

wtf do I do now?!?!

Hayne suppose to be fine to play this week. BJ has lost so much, I think you just have to hold him to be honest. Could go Norman to Walker or Munster, then if you are worried about Kaufusi, go Kaufusi to Graham or hold and get rid of Ponga.

Maybe Rjennings to Fuimaono and Norman to Walker? Then get rid of Faufusi for Graham next week and replacing CHN with a bye friendly player? Depends on how much cash you have.

I am predicting Kaufusi to bounce back with a 50 pointer!

Tohu the 80min man now meaning KBrom and Kaufusi rotating in the other spot. He'll struggle to get over 35

If someone gets suspended do bye weeks count as time served?

Am I crazy considering Moga. The Broncos in form creating more attacking chances for Moga & the last 3 games he's been scoring 30's & 40's which is comparable to the more expensive ctr options plus he plays round 12.

When I think what I paid for him and the points he gave me I'm effectively getting Kapow for 255k now

Im actually fairly happy running Cotric, Moga Fui (previously idris) through to RD 12. They owe me nothing coz I bought them cheap and haven't used many trades in the CTR position. Once they aren't bye friendly ill consider bringing in someone else. Hoping Mansauce come back, loses some dollars then goes off like a frog in a sock.

If youre considering Moga to raise funds for bye trading, I don't think its a bad idea. Its a risky idea. But I don't think its terrible.

Doesn't manly miss 12 and 15?

I'm not spending any more trades on my centres unless Fui makes some good coin. Waste of time honestly it's an absolute lottery that position.

My ctrs are Kelly, Idris, Talakai, R. Jennings lol. I agree with you because all the elite ctrs are scoring at a level to guys like Moga that's why I 'm thinking why spend 350k on Croker for example when Moga could match him. Also the Broncos play Wests at home this week & Moga could outscore the higher priced options. I already own Cotric so I can move him to the ctrs & just play Moga & Cotric.

Pretty sure Kbrom was playing the middle only in the last game. With Kaufusi's constant bad penalties and drop balls, looks like he was hooked early for Stimson? Kaufusi will go back to at least 70mins with Tohu in the lineup
