    How many trades is not enough? If it is 10-12 weeks, you have no choice really.

    Looking at Carty there, I started with him this year too. It's amazing how one year a player can be a gun and then the next they freefall to almost 'don't go there' status due to injuries, form and off field crap. I started with Carty last year and finished with him and he was one of the first picked for me this year, unreal.

    So, is having 22 trades before trading this round enough to go sideways with Smith to Friend/etc ? I don't ever recall trading Smith out since I started playing dream team in 2012.. It makes me nervous.

    Making trades in general this year is making me nervous. It seems to be that sitting tight and holding has paid off moreso than the trades I've made (though I havent really made any complete dud trades other than Abbey, who's still sitting there wasting space).

    He's a tough bastard. UNLESS he has a fracture I think/hope they will needle him up and he will only miss a game maybe two.

    Completely agree. Thought this myself a few times. 22 is a good number. I have 20 and am freaking out though, I don't think there's anyway I'll use three this week. I can't fathom trading Fifi or Smith out, but that's me.

    In regards to Brown, is 2-3 weeks a hold? Could be if you have a decent 17 for round 13.

    I'm considering it and you have four more than me, but I'm almost certainly going to run out again.....

    If I had him i'd probably hold.

    I'm actually considering holding Tommy T just because of what Jake said after their game on the weekend. (basically said "he's doing really well, will hopefully only miss a couple of games"), but then again that may mean nothing.

    Yep, dead right.

    I am hoping it's a 3-4 week loss so every trades him out and then he comes back next week >Smile

    If Browns out for 3-4 rounds hes gotta go.

    So lets say he misses 12,13,14 maybe 15 ...Eels have byes 16 and 19, you might get him for 17,18?

    Why am I hesitating trading out Aubusson? It would basically mean that my 2RFs are set and forget for the rest of the year.

    So is Nu Brown a good cash out for Milf if named? Should disappear after origin. Any idea how he scores at 80 min half?

    Could be R16 gold if hes fit by then, and the Sea Eagles will have already had both their byes

    Because you shouldn't. I'm going to trade him in, he plays this week and was terrific last week. He will be playing 80 minutes over the whole origin period and most likely the rest of the season.

    I still have Norman, but not really interested in SJ or Walker at the moment. Was interested in Munster but he sucked last week too. Halves are tough, I think I'm gonna try and hold Norman.

    I have exact money for

    Milf>Nu Brown
    CHN>Gallen
    Suli>Cody

    Normally would take this as sign but Suli has bye cover value still I have no FRF if Nate Brown doesn't play and could hold off till team list trade Milf out but Walker trade locks it in

    I wouldn't use last week's game as a gauge for bunnies/storm players. Weather was shocking so there was little backline movement which reflected in the bad fantasy scoring for backs on both sides.
    I'm a bit worried with Munster though, in the last two weeks Storm kept directing plays on the opposite of Munsters side. He was involved very little in the attack

    I was going to get Mannering this week but won't now. I'd much rather prefer to have Taumalolo in round 13 so F. Kaufusi & CHN will stay in my team & in round 13 I'll use those 2 players to get Taumalolo. This will give me a 2fr of Taumalolo, Gallen, JDB, Surgess, Crichton, Elliot.
    I got Mitchell last week but I just read Robinson said his sternum injury was not serious so I can breathe a big sigh of relief as I have Brown as well.
