My thoughts are, you fucking love a trade...

And I love you for it buds. We need people picking up the slats slack

Teddys price is ridiculous. I'm so disappointed because I was an owner at 550k or whatever silly price he was.

Teddy for cotric is a season ending no brainer. I'm less convinced about RTS only because I've learned after this 10 years or whatever it has been not to fiddle around with too many trades in the backline. As bloody brilliant as Rapa is, it's Fullback v Winger and you have a good player in RTS who will hit some scores and average ok

Haha I'm usually anti trade that's why I have 17 of the bloody things left lol.
Cheers for your thoughts pal. I have done my best to avoid trades in the centre/backs.

I appreciate you and WL keep the thread going with trade options and thoufhts even if you don't make them.

I've made 7 more than you

Pull the trigger. 2 keepers for 2 players that have done their dash as far as byes are concerned

What if you had about 12 trades left?

Regret starting with McGuire. He's right in that sweet spot of too good to sell but not good enough to keep, so I'd like to hold off moving him until the rest of my team is sorted. But that means I need to keep through his shitty byes.

I mean, 51avg is ok, but it feels bad playing him and passing on a JDB/Tapau/Pappilli/JTurbo.

Thing is that if I trade him out he's not coming back.

Grahams BE scares me. I want to use one for the cash so I can pick up Gurgess and JBrom.

Liverpool_Bulldog wrote:Hehe Rapana, Teddy, Hayne could be interesting except for the bye rounds 

That's what is putting me off, traded Rapana in then out again as he doesn't play 15 or 18 and I'm already short for those 2 rounds

Looking decent mate!

I would go with a cotric/hayne swap and cotric to Lolohea, put the 100k into Graham to vaughan on the day if he's ruled out

100% agree that Cotric should go (with a view to trading out Moga pretty soon too once the bulk of his big score is priced in). I also 100% agree that a trade should be saved to go Graham to Vaughn if Graham is ruled out.

The only other idea I'd throw out there is an alternative to Lolohea (as I am not convinced by him and think he is an expensive option for a round 15 score only - unless of course you think he is a keeper?. The alternative being a straight cash out of Cotric to Laybutt (via DPPs Fogerty, Hayne). Advantage would be more money to spend later (to get guys like Mansour perhaps in round 16, and a couple others that will need to come). Also looking likely that Laybutt will get a round 15 start and hence points.

Main thing to consider I guess is a few steps ahead - i.e adding guys like Vaughn (round 15) Cleary, Mansour (round 16) Fifita (19) Rapana (sometime soon?) and perhaps even a C upgrade? Without running the numbers its hard to tell but I suspect that extra $100k going to Laybutt would come in real handy!!

Haha Yates/Musgrove to JBrom/Gurgess actually makes you 20k, what is this strange world??

Thinking I'll cash out JWH (as he is less likely to his BE than yates) for that tigers bloke instead of talakai and then spread the cash around upgrading the likes of yates/rts/guth. This means playing edwards in my 17. Sound reasonable?

Never hate a suggestion that nets an extra 100k for no material difference to your side!

I do think Lolohea is a keeper and was hanging out for his move away from warriors... to anywhere.

Not necessarily a starter in Sash's backline but a very good 18th man and bit of flexible squad depth (he swaps with C Walker)

Sounds good. Never been much good for fantasy JWH.

I've seen a bit of mentioning RTS upgrading. Seems to be a bit of a luxury move that one to me. He is captain of their side and although he loves scoring 43 fantasy points, he's been 55+ in 4 matches this year. Surely that's fine for WFB?

Why am I having a hard time trading out RTS for Rapana?

Big call to trade out RTS i reckon. I don't know. I feel like big scores are just around the corner for him. Don't hold me to that though, haha.

I think the Slater and Wallace almost confirmed origin forces my hand

As much as I want Lolo and if he goes big I may not afford I need to keep Elliot for 18

Going ahead with Niko>Munster but also Cotric>Edwards for another 18 player

Yeah, probably low priority but seeing the likes of ted,nofo,mansour,rapa, munster, turbo, walker (when firing) is too tempting.

I just dont see him as a top 3 wfb from here out. I would be aiming for tedesco, slater, rapa or munster.

has someone been ruled out for the storm? last night sharks and storm were 1.92 each way, now the sharks are 1.62 ? whats going on there?

Back to back 43s including a try are certainly not exciting nor setting the world alight but also no good with a player of that style to subtract his tries and say that 30s are his level because we've all seen him hit much higher and sometimes for players like him attacking points are base.

Some upside i'd agree but again, just a luxury transfer. He's fine as a season keeper even without breaking out, especially as he's likely your 3rd best WFB

Would say to those moving him to Rapana, you must have one hell of a forward pack for this to be a focus. Raiders byes are also rubbish
