No wonder Slater was having a good time in Sydney cause he knew he was having the week off.

Well playing around with my 17 for the week, trying to work out the next move and Captain.
Thinking Gallen (given his recent hatred of the storm) though have a few options.

Mcinnes,Farah
Fifita,Taupau
Taumalolo,Gallen,Surgess,Merrin,Crichton,DeBelin
Munster,CWalker
Aubo,Smat
RTS,Hayne,Radradra

fucking hell that's a squad

can only hope munster gets them juicy kick metres.

but i think smith will after trading him out

I have Wallace & Slater but this news is not surprising. I'll keep Slater but I'll sell Wallace.

It looks like Norman will be starting this week, and if he does, where do you guys think Gutherson will play. I just don't know.

I think he either plays FB with French to wing and Davis out or centre with Avaua to wing Davis out, Avaua is under inury cloud though so he could just drop straight out. probaly 50/50 on both

Munster/Harris is a very poor halves combo. I would have thought Croft would be a straight swap for Cronk.

Needs to be alright, seem my overall value is about 600-700k less than a lot of others and don't have a lot of trades left so need to make some moves asap
First time I get to wheel this team out

That's a great team but you'll have 5 out for round 16. Do you have cover in your npr's or enough trades to get a 17 out in round 16.

Friend | Brailey
Vaughan, FKaufusi - Graham, Hoare
Crichton, JDB, Gallen - ET, Surgess, Elliot
SJ, Cleary - Frawley, Field
Hayne - Cotric - NPR, Fuimaono
Tedesco, Slater, RTS - Edwards, NPR

Basically no backs for next week, but a pretty stacked FRF + 2RF, Also going to trade Friend - McInnes to next week.

Leaves me with $476K + 19 Trades to take into next week.

Unless somebody else sees something I'm missing?

Thanks!!

awesome team, massive bank and trades for africa. good work!

trades seem on point

That back row looks a bit weak.
Couldn't you find any room for Mannering?
Looks like another loss for me in both L1 and L1 select as I'm up against you in both.

Not a lot I can do about the depth now to cover all these players.
Updating my bye's at the moment but not sure if I want AE nightmares for the rest of the season (as won't have the trades to get rid of them if they hang around ie Marsters)
So will see what happens

McInnes, Brailey
Fifi, Vaughan, Graham, Tetevano
Surgess, JDB, Taumalolo, Crichton, Elliot, Stone
SJ, Walker, FBrown, Hampton
Leilua, Smat, Hayne, Fuimaono
RTS, Munster, Radradra, Cotric, Suli

think stoner to merrin is a pretty good move this week, have 141k itb. apart from that cant really see a trade that has to be made this week, any ideas fellas?

Not sure if anything concrete, but yeah, Stone apparently is going to miss a few games. Do you really need to trade though? Merrin doesn't help bye numbers, but I understand he could go up another 20k.

Think I'll be doing Graham -> James + Frawley -> That cowboys half dude. Not sure but I've just been bouncing up and down all season making no real progress so I can't see the value in holding too many trades, go hard or go home

Is trading SMat out a bit of a POD move??
Need to take a risk somewhere and that one feels like it could work. Might bring in Nofo for extra PODnesss

Thoughts?

I traded Smith last week, with the Cronk news, yes he will pick up more kick metres but I'm not regretting the decision yet.

Just thinking though, don't forget, Griffin could come on at hooker, move Tohu back to second row and Smith plays at half?  Or KBrom has played some hooker before too I believe.  Smith could even start at half, Griffin to start at hooker then KBrom comes on to relieve him or whatever.

Dunno if this is good or bad for Munster who I'm looking at trading in.  Might lean toward Cleary and get one more look at Munster and get him next week if Ponga don't get a run.

Wasn't gonna play Felise cause his score last week had a large line break and try, but he's obviously set for 80 again. Was gonna play Elliot over him who will bounce back big time IMO.
