I'm gonna say first three depending on how the dogs line-up.

Pick 3 from MWZ Suli Hampton Tualau

TLT may answer your question. I got Tualau as well & he probably won't be in the 17 as they seem to prefer Fualalo at full strength. Even if Tualau does grab a bench spot I would go the other 3 as he'll only get 20 mins.

Stumped on what to do trades wise
Was considering Cotric to Tedesco but got all my DPP ties up in centre
Looking at Brown to JDB who will become my captain unless Brown is cleared to play by Friday morning in which case Fifita is the one to make way
Any obvious trades I'm missing? Should I just wait out this week and reassess next week?

Smith McInnes
Fifita Tolman Graham Tualau
Gallen Crichton Whitehead Brown Jwal Capewell
Sj Frawley Hampton Brown
Cotric Sione Suli Talakai
RTS Walker Hayne Semi MWZ

17 trades and 110k

Cheers lads
Hampton isn't exactly a world beater but he probably has a first grade spot this week and should be good for 15-20 points

Gotta play aggressive to have a chance at winning from here. Currently rank 27 and 228 points behind the leader.

My initial trade thoughts are
Brailey->McInnes and Fifita->Merrin. Brailey has a bit more money to make but I don't have the time to waste and I need those points now. Fifita I was hoping to hold but it looks like I'll need to boost my points this week and could use some more major bye scorers.

Would leave me with
McInnes Friend
Graham McGuire Wallace Yates
Elliot Merrin Whitehead
SJ Frawley
SMat Cotric Suli
Slater RTS Hayne
$192K 14 trades

I'll evaluate during the week of course. Lot of time to think over trades.

Fifita ---> Brown
Before I traded:

Fifita: 53.8
Brown: 48.8

After:

Fifita: 75.5
Brown: 23.5 + injured indefinitely

Cotric ---> Leilua

Before:
Cotric: 37.7
Leilua: 41.3

After:
Cotric: 39.4
Leilua: 17.8

That's my KOD brother! This sort of thing has been happening to the "family" since 2010.

i would consider cotric to aubs. or you could wait a week and hayne should get dpp and do your cot/tedesco trade then.

might even cash out talakai preemptively this week if you dont have anything pressing to do. thats 100k you could put to use next week

Don't see Aubbo as a keeper centre and most of his bye usefulness is gone
Was hoping to keep Talakai in case he ends up getting a spot in a bye round during a Madge reshuffle
Might just have to wait the week for Hayne or MWZ to get dpp

Is Aitken due back soon?

I wonder if Tetevano gets dropped this week for costing the Roosters the game. I say this as a L. Mitchell owner haha.

Dylan Edwards getting another run?

Sweet!!

Klok or Lolohea?

Mitchell will run off Tevevano all he can now because he knows he'll pass the ball 100% of the time or never see first grade again.

Lolo has a higher ceiling I reckon and his spot seems set in stone.

DethKlok could be dropped for Vatuvei or Kata at a moment's notice.

Chewie wrote:Klok or Lolohea?

Will be interesting to see but assume Lolohea will be named on the bench tomorrow.

DethKlok looks like a natural born winger, but not sure what you are going to get Fantasy week in week out.

great minds.

Round 13 BEs

thanks for the feedback gents... I'm leaning towards Lolohea because of the extra bye round coverage, not sure how he will go at the tigers.

just need an extra body for the round, but don't want to splash big $$$

Well done on the ranking.
Can't see much wrong with the trades. Getting two keepers who will score more over the bye rounds.
I'd have a strategy to get Fifita back in to your team for round 20. I suspect he will finish the season well.

Anyone interested in Taane Milne? When's Aitken due back?
