Johnny B Goode wrote:So if Nathan Brown is all good to go should I trade him in for Jarrod Wallace? If I did that I'd be put in the unique position of having to choose my 17th player and last reserve out of probably Nu Brown, Fuimaono and CNK.  

Plus it'd leave me with only 14 trades and well if I can field a full team this round whether it's of quality players or not, I don't know if it's entirely necessary. Don't want to miss out on points but would love to conserve as many trades as possible.

Just personally I would save the trade.  You have 17 OR will have 17 after trades for Round 13?

I have 17 this week but in Round 13 I should be able to field 17 as well although it'll include the likes of Hame Sele. I was originally going to go Fifi to Brown but when he went down injured I decided to go Fifi to Surgess.

As of right now though, even if Brown does play I've thought to myself that Surgess is in irresistible form and since it comes down to one or the other, I'd have to go with Sam.

I'm starting to think I might take a hit this week and bring in graham and brown for over 50k cheaper that 50k will really help me since I have so many nuffies what I cant cash out

Walker obviously not much of a POD. Should i take a punt on Moses??

With all those kick metres 30 would be his floor?

I would be concerned about where Moses ends up when Norman returns and how much he loses in Kick meters. He will most likely end up being another trade soon.

Thoughts on C. Walker vs A. Reynolds for the Rest of the season?

a) He's good to go, or
b) Scans are still coming back on his potential injury

Brad Arthur has never really been one for mind games, so him being named to start is really positive for owners. If he plays I still think he's a must have for overall points.

Correct, but either way I think you can rule out 80mins in the first bye round (this week)

I wonder if he's treating these origin round games as his second team and Kodi has played himself into first team?

Random wrote:Thoughts on C. Walker vs A. Reynolds for the Rest of the season?

A Rey for me but a consideration is if you plan to have Gutherson or Munster in your final team. CWalker is a safer pick to give you rotation depth if so, and flexibility may outweigh the 5pts or so he might run shy of ARey, at fullback

Instead of going Norman > CWalker, would Yates > Elliot be a worthwhile trade?

You can trade them all round

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Instead of going Norman > CWalker, would Yates > Elliot be a worthwhile trade?

Yates to Elliot is an upgrade considering you won't have to deal with the headache of the crazy Knights forward rotation each week.
I'd go Norman to CWalker though cause you don't want $460k sitting on your bench doing nothing for too long

Post your team up LB before any trades

Post your team up LB before any trades

Smith, Brailey
Fifita, Vaughan, McGuire, Musgrove
Surgess, Crichton, ET, Whitehead, CHN, Yates
Norman, Milf, Niko, Frawley
Croker, SMat, Suli, Kelly
RTS, Cotric, Hayne, MWZ, Abbey

Have 22 trades and 128k in the bank. Rd12 not looking flash as is

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:I NBrown is fit, do I prioritise him over Graham?

I'm in the air about this same decision. I haven't seen too many Eels game so I don't know NBrown's game very well. He also picked up some sort of rib injury so its likely that he will reaggravate the injury in the middle of a game.
The extra bye game does make him so much more tempting... worth the risk?

Sorry guys I havent had time to catch up on all the pages but whats the deal with N Brown? and Macca?

Is there anything solid on these guys yet?

Cheers.

Ok so the good thing is you have trades to burn.

Personally I traded out 3 players you have too, with logic of:
Smith to Friend - 140k in the bank and good player with good byes. Can upgrade Brailey to Smith r19
Yates to Gallen - Knights have shit byes, Yates not a keeper, and with Fifita, might not play as many games as Yates over the next 7 rounds but he will definitely out score Yates, and you won't have to worry about bring Fifita back in
Norman-Walker/SJ/ARey - would suggest SJ because is best half this season next to Pearce. Set and forget, but budget might only allow for a Rabbitoh, which isnt a bad thing either as they have better byes then SJ

That gives you 3 of the best available players for R12 and season long keepers. Next week do a midrange cashout, say Suli, and upgrade Niko or Hayne to Munster

Macca is ok but given the week off and not named in the 21 so no risk of late inclusion. Bad for all of us in fantasy, but good to see

No firm news on n brown scans as yet so you've missed nothing, other than he was named in jumper 13

Cheers pal, not a direction I looked at in regards to Smith and keeping Fifita.
Thanks for your input, will mull it over

Hey guys, what do you think is the better trade? (Assuming the Browns are listed in the final teams)

Fifita - Brown
Wallace - Brown
Hampton - Nu

Or I don't do any and run with what I've got

Yeah the other thing I thought of is that when you do have Fifita and Gallen both playing that gives you an absolutely stacked 2RF and FRF probably best in the comp if you could sneak a Lolo in for Whitehead alternate on

Fifita Vaughn
Gallen Surgess Crichton
