Now with this news Niko is starting this week, Munster might be playing Origin, it has thrown a spanner in the works.

2nd Option was Niko - Cleary, but doesn't play next week.  Might have to do Niko - Norman next week unless Munster plays.

Loomer wrote:Cotric to Edwards who either makes my final 17 or hopefully have enough trades to make gun or Cotric to Hawkins and max out my final 17 buying potential and hope I get lucky and he plays 15 and 18.

Surely the latter right?

Makes sense to bank the cash, but I'm toying with those sorts of Edwards/Lolohea thoughts too.

I cant bring myself to trade Cotric.  I know he misses the next two byes but he's just too good.

I'm travelling okay, last round killed me with no Smith and pritchy getting a massive 6. Team looks like:

Smith, Pritch
Fifi, Graham, Brown
JDB, Lolo, Gallen, Surgess, Chriton, AElliot
SJ, Munster
Smat, Cotric, Fui, Suli
Slater, RTS, Semi, Jayne

Running low on trades and only have 30k, I want to sit tight this weekend but with low numbers for the coming rounds feeling compelled to trade. Need pritch for byes, considering selling Elliot/Suli to fund something but I just end up looking at Cotric and Suli > Tedesco and Bj... But I think Cotric could be a keeper, and it would do nothing for me with byes lol. Probably have to sell Slater next week for Calker, any thoughts? I've been looking at this all morning and I'm stuck!

Lol - yeah probably is. Rarely gets a mention thats for sure. I'm pretty happy with having started with him. Last 5 round avg is 52 (bolstered by a 69). I guess I had hoped for a little more out of him, but he's done the job I wanted from him for the price I paid at the start of the year.

wolfking wrote:Was all hyped for making 2 trades now this Niko news, I'm keeping him and playing him.  What should I do now if anything.  16 trades and 206K.  First trade was Bodene to Tolo;

McInnes Brailey
Fifita Brown Wallace Yates
Surgess Tolo Crichton Elliot Kaufusi Fui
SJ Niko Lamb Frawley
Cotric Croker SMat Kelly
RTS Slater Semi Suli Ponga

So many option, yet none necessary;

Frawley - Lolohea
Kelly - Edwards
Yates - JBrom
Yates - Gurgess

Or use my cap and go;

Yates - Merrin
Frawley - Cleary
