Y'all helped me nab a handy player for the byes all things permitting and a cash cow last week so I'm going to play it conservatively this week.  

Smart play

How is everyone else shaping up ?

I have 23 trade and am ranked 696 with 200k in the bank so feeling like I can realistically thing of being in the top 500 this year.

Forget top 500 go for gold. Plenty of trades, cash and well ranked. I would be max trading this week and next to get as close as possible to 17 in 12 and 13

No players today so purely watching and death riding

Fifita, Gallen

I've reversed my Norman to SJ trade and was going to turn Kaufusi into Brown but I feel half hearted about that.

He's played big minutes the last 4 games, how likley is it that he keeps this up?

I'm definitely jumping on the train next week, all factors are positive for him.

Playing big minutes
Gets through a heap of work in the middle
Scoring very well in fantasy
The best byes you could ask for
He's owned by basically all serious players. If he flops, we all cop it

Fifita smashing out 70+ tonight

I have leilua, should I bench him this week and maybe play Fuimaono instead?
What do you guys think?

since niko has been named to start ive done this exact trade. based purely on numbers as i think that graham/arey/fkaufs have more cash to lose than brown.

were talking 10-20k so its not much, but it could be the difference between bringing in the munster/mccinnes combo in one week or being forced to stretch it over 2 weeks through a downgrade.

i dont see him in the final 17, but atm he is top 5 material so thats pretty good going into byes

1. Stick Leilua in your centres
2. Close the app and step away from your squad

3. Maybe have a look at yourself in the mirror. Shake your head and pour yourself a fresh drink. I reckon you'd like a gin with cucumber tonight.

Brailey or lamb last reserve, get it wrong every single week

I reckon Barnett will end up starting so he's my pick.

I would go Brailey as the safe pick.

brailey will score 44 tonight. hope that helps anyone.

speaking of Brown I have always been keen on him but to this point I've decided to stay away from him. I'm just not sure his scores will continue but he may end up another regret. May be impossible to say no to trading him in next week though.

I can say I got to hear Rusty Cage in person although unfortunately they didn't do Jesus Christ Pose that day. Had a blast of You Know My Name just a few minutes ago, life is fleeting, music is eternal.  

Grew up with grunge era Soundgarden - never really got into Audioslave, and TBH Johnny Cash's version of Rusty Cage is more my taste these days - but it's definitely sobering when the musicians of your youth start passing on.

Yer I am also leaning towards McInnes in 13 instead of Friend. Dragons fixtures look pretty good, have the Tigers, Eels and Knights - plenty of attacking stats hopefully in those games and of course plays 80mins. It means it will take two trades to get him instead of one for Friend but I can just cash out Nikorima to get him.

Brails to score tonight.

Captain Cam it is. I've got Lolo and Gal to watch n follow.
