Just Mcinnes ? Big, big juicy balls...

Smith brailey
Fifita brown Yates Wallace
Surgess gallen chricton CHN fui Elliot
Johnson nikorima lamb fogarty
Talakai leilua suli smat
Rts cotric abbey ponga Munster

22 trades 279k

11 round 12,
15 round 13, 16 if ponga plays 17 if brown plays

Thinking CHN to graham, talakai to radrada, lamb to frawley?

Thoughts on these trades or any other ideas?

I have to deal with not having Burgess this year but I don't think it is wise to use an extra trade to get him. Bringing in Mcinnes gives me 17 next week too. Next week I'll cash Suli out to get Teddy or the best available half.

I agree that Cook needs to be sorted, but on a week where most people won't be able to field a team of 17 it seems odd to dump a guy that's playing for one that's not. Unless of course you already have 17?

How much money do you project Cook to lose this week?

Was thinking Cam Smith and bringing in Brandon Smith as a handcuff..

I think I read somewhere someone suggesting Fai might drop out of the 17 for Pangai Jnr?

If so, we ca put this one to bed as Pangai and Molo have dropped out of the 19.

Sipley and Tui drop out for the Woeful Warriors!

It's very tempting mate, i have the same 2 hookers now and going to Smith Jr from Cook makes a few other possies really flexed right out.
Another gun half, 4 top wfb and maxed out forwards.

Mmmm....

The first 2 are good but Frawley will be back to the bench soon when J-Rey returns.

I think a forward pack of Vaughan, Fifi, McGuire, Surgess, Gallen, Crichton, JDB, Whitehead, Stone(lol) makes up for only having one hooker.

For the run home is anyone gonna go with one CTR then have an A/E from a FRF or 2RF?

Worth the risk?

Just have to be happy to ride the bye period with one Hooker plus a noob. I'm still mulling it up.

Was unsure on frawley, mainly was for 90k towards Yates to tolo or jdb next week plus gives me another number for 12/13.
How long is j Rey out for, he due back soon?

my tv broke wrote:Has everyone else with tommy T traded him out? I still have him and have no need to trade him out this round. Im considering holding him until he returns which will hopefully be round 16 after manlys second bye.

Alot of money to have sitting on the pine but i think i can do my planned trades/upgrades while still holding him.

Im gonna hold. Center position so up and down. Different if i was holding a 400k forward. Have moga and crotic to cover at the mo

You know you haven't bye planned well when Parra is a top 2 team for byes and I own exactly zero of them

I had 2 Eels. Traded them out this week. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't bother.

does anyone know if you can use bye players for the captaincy loophole?
example

surgess vc and sj c then move pearce to sj will that work?
havent got 17 players..... hell, havnt even got 14 players.

I've thought about it. I don't think I'll do it on purpose, but if one of my centres went down I would consider not replacing him.

Yeah these are my thoughts too. I have moga and smat so see no point in changing them. As you said centre so volatile.

Pearce isn't on a bye this round.

But to answer your question, after lockout you can swap SJ for any player that has not yet played. Either a bye player or someone missing for origin /injury

I've got a feeling Fui is going to have a big one tonight.. Does anyone know if he is on Taka's or Auva'a's side?
