Haven't run the numbers but you could go CHN to Graham this week and Bodene to Lolo next week, and if you don't have enough cash, go Smith to Nu Brown via Knik this week and go Knik to Mcinnes next week and keep Brailey for the time being. Just brain storming here...

Yeah, once Bodene plays this week, that's all he's good for in relation to bye rounds.  I won't have enough going CHN to Graham, but one trade I'm looking at also really is Kaufusi to Semi.  Saves a lot of coin and gets me enough to do two big upgrades.  Again, I'm scared of trading out the likes of Smith and Fifi.  I need to sleep on those thoughts than look at that tomorrow I think haha.  Trying to fit guns in without giving any up really don't work in this game lol.

The only reason I really want to upgrade Brailey next week though is if Smith doesn't back up, that's the only reason.  I'd be happy to keep Brailey until 16 if we knew Smith would play against the Knights.

If I get the balls to trade him out, that Nu Brown moving Niko up then trading Niko to McInnes next week, is fucking genius actually. Gives me two hookers for 15 also. Damn, do I have the balls.

McGuire to Graham is a wasted trade IMO.

playing for overall you will probably get similar points from them and no cash gain in this trade. Too sideways.

Anyone know what happens to the under 20's Origin players this weekend, quite a few players named today for their state that are also listed for club games this weekend. Do they have to be replaced or do they just back up on Wednesday?

Not sure on that mate you get an extra game out of Graham and he plays 2 tough byes plus he is a better fantasy scorer than Mcguire

Just read this in an article about Gutho and the Eels;

while lock-forward Nathan Brown is in doubt for the clash against his former club on Friday night with a rib complaint.

Ugh! In or out mate, make a fucking call.

Well comparing Wallace to Mcguire,they are similar players and at least Wallace isn't playing origin (for now)
He plays round 15 and it's a toughie so worth it for that

Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks. With McCullough out and assuming Brown plays, I've only got 12 playing this round. One more trade up my sleeve. No idea what it's going to be.

Cotric moga idris and a nuff dpp

I don't really care though, they picking up, can't stomach upgrading them unless someone comes out and shows consistency. Will try finish with Croker and turbo

Yeah, the main reason for going to Graham is to bolster my points over the tough byes. I've got 22 trades so I feel pretty comfortable making the sideways trade. I won't look at bringing back McGuire either.

Knik news is bad, but hoping for the call up to start in final team lists.
Curious on the James Roberts ankle injury though. J Isaako is the only CTR named on the bench, so I'm hoping he can get the call up to replace Roberts. I traded in a NPR CTR so I'll change him to Issako to help get another player for R12.

Wait - he doesn't seem to be added to the Fantasy database - WTF another Failhub?

Disregard - turns out he was already the NPR that I traded in and thats why I couldn't search for him. Oops.

I'm happy to go with 12 players this week. I'll take 600.

Crazy bastard would do.
And who offered advice a few weeks back to keep this to fantasy stuff??

Yeah. I know for sure. And I'm not the one who brought the topic up snowflake.

I think it probably doesn't matter. If you own him, based on the news he's a hold even if he doesn't play this week sounds like he should be right soon enough. If you don't own him, either don't get him, or wait until final lists as they play first.

Am i bettet to trade out fifita or maguire over origin ?

So trades for this week are

Fifita > Graham (Wont see Fifita for 3 of the next 4 weeks)
CHN > Gallen (Pretty straight forward)
Norman > Walker (Need bodies playing so hopefully this works out)

Leaves me 19 trades, 12 players in Rd12 and 96k in the bank

Solid trades.

Pending final team lists my trades are

Kelly - Isaako
CHN- Surgess
Fifita - Brown

I'm looking at:

CHN -> Gallen
Cook -> Nu Brown
Fifita -> Graham

Gallen and Graham are bye friendly keepers and Nu Brown is a bye friendly, bottom priced cash out. Happy with that. CHN is a peaked, non-bye friendly cash cow. Happy with that. Cook and Fifita not so sure. I think Cook is fucked (in fantasy by Madge, actually think he is wonderful IRL) and will score fuck all and lose 30-40k this week, so you can expect Farah to do an ACL and Cook to average 60 now but I think I'm happy with the trade. Fifita, I just don't know, but I think if I hold I won't be able to do anything I want to do over the next eight rounds.

Posted mine before I read this. Yep, solid trades. You have more than most and that looks an appropriate use of them for max points.

How does everyone have so many trades and decent teams?

I have

Macca, Cook
Taupau, Brown, Graham
Tolo, Gallen, Mannering, Surgess, Gillett, Whitehead
Norman, Johnson, Frawley
Walker, Cotric
Slater, RTS, Hayne

only 12 trades left.. Dunno what the hell happend

pencilled trades

Smith - Friend
Lamb - SJ
Hampton - Nu Brown

Gives me 15 for the week if Nathan Brown plays

SJ and NuBrown would be season keepers. Friend would go back to Smith after origin.

Only 15 trades left, but I think I can get a decent final 17 on just 11 trades. 4 trades for injuries/improving bye scores.
