Smith, McInnes

Surgess, Crichton, Gallen, Whitehead, BThompson,Fai
Johnson, Norman, Walker, Field
Moga, Leilua, Fuimaono, Scott
Tedesco, RTS, Hayne, CNK, RJennings

$46k in the kitty.

Currently 4,000th or so. Sad panda this year as I've gone kaput in a big way but will hold in there as always.

wolfking wrote:Speaking of my team.  I'm not sure if I keep surging towards round 15 players.  Currently my team looks like and lineup before trades;

Smith Brailey
Wallace Yates Kaufusi Fifita
Bodene Elliot Brown SMat Chricton Surgess
SJ Frawley Niko Lamb
Croker Cotric Kelly Fui
RTS Slater Semi Suli Ponga

309K INT

I kind of want to see Munster one more time at half but he is a potential trade in for Niko.  Lolohea also could be a punt for Niko with byes as I have cover at the moment.

My forwards is where I struggle.  I'm looking at round 15 but Brown and Kaufusi both play that week, but it really makes sense to upgrade them both now to Merrin/JDB/Vaughn/Tolo, so that's where I'm stuck.  If Brown is out, I'll upgrade but is it worth holding Kaufusi or just hold him a couple more weeks for 15?  Same with Brown, very tough.

Ponga is there too who I can turn into an easy forward if need be, but kind of wanted to turn him into Nofo in 15 if Ponga doesn't get another run.

F. Kaufusi out - Taumalolo in &
N. Brown out - Vaughan in

Yeah I think I have to do it. Making two trades in my CTR/WFBs just makes me nervous. On the flipside I played a straight bat last week and brought in Surgess and Graham for a net of 60 pts for the week, so I may as well go down a different route this week.

Elias summed it up perfectly on nrl36 the other night. Everything is so pc & everyone are friends. Origin use to be exciting because of 1 thing violence. Plus both teams including the coaches are budy, buddy & no one wants to offend each other. What you want to see in the build up is both teams saying they're are going to smash eachother & both teams hating each other. Then when the game is actually on you want to see players getting smashed, knocked out & blood pouring from players heads. Then my friends you have a game.

Rapture_NRL wrote:Hey guys, looking for a bit of advice!

I'm too broke to upgrade to a solid 2RF, so I decided to nerf two of my CTR/WFBs with the hopes that I can upgrade CHN to a gun next week. Smart move? My forwards look like this atm:

FRF: R James, Vaughan (Yates, Fai)
2RF:JT, N Brown, Whitehead, CHN (r) (Crichton, Surgess)

I brought Brown in as a gun (scores over 50 at Lock) and wanted to upgrade CHN, but CHN looks like he's starting and I only had 27k before nerfing my CTR/WFBs.. now I have 177k

Its only 2 years ago you had Klemmer telling Corey Parker to "fuck off you old cunt"

I'm sure there will be plenty of instances of players being dicks towards each other tonight too. And then Thaiday can be 3rd man in to whatever gets started.

For sash.

CHN and KNik out, Tedesco and Merrin in.
Unless you want to take a punt on DEdwards

that would leave the halves too thin.
maybe CHN to Merrin and KNik to Munster, would leave almost enough to turn Cotric into Tedesco next week ?

filthridden wrote:I'm thinking if Brown plays, I kinda have to keep him given my low trades.
If Brown plays, I'll trade Norman to DCE/Widdop/Cleary.
If Brown doesn't play, I'll trade him to JBrom/Merrin.

Finch wrote:ET-Merrin?


I would do it, but ET plays R15.

I suppose Merrin could score more points in the next two rounds than ET over the next 3, however he could just as easily not.

ET plays one bye round and so does Merrin. They'll both play the same amount of games so it'll just come down to whether or not you want to fast-track the trade or wait until after 15.
