Kinda same boat as me re KNik etc etc, I've gone Cotric - Tedesco for 1st trade just cause Tedesco is so cheap right now. But for my 2nd trade I cashed up Stone.

Like me, would you consider cashing Yates/Ponga out to a 138k, so next week you're well cashed up ready for 3 big trades on the bye round + with the benefit of knowing whos doing what in Origin 2 + seeing an extra game out of Lolohea and JBrom for consistency.

Yeah, I thought about it, even Frawley to Brown perhaps would give me a lot ofthe cash back I spent going Bodene to Tolo. Slim pickings in the FR cashouts though. I'm not really sold on Lolohea, the only benefit is that you get next week out of him. I'm kind of liking Kelly to Edwards, but I don't really need him. Yates to Edwards looks okay too but would fuck all of my DPPs.

Wallace>JBrom

Yay or Nay?

Tough one. Can't wait til next week if in doubt.

If anyone has Ese Ese still, it looks like hes been put back to Q CUP this week as well.

This is instead of Cotric>Hawkins which is also a wait till next week

So many choices

My thinking is I'd hate to get to next week and find there are 3 deadest trades that should be made, only to find out I've got to use one of them cashing up, which I could have done on a week like this week when theres nothing doing. Especially players like Stone and Yates who are never going be in your final 17, they need to go at some point.

I went Stone to Marsters. Might give me a bonus player in a bye round but mainly should never be an AE problem.

Welcome mate.

Have you worked out your exact numbers for upcoming byes or do you just feel they are low? Maybe throw the numbers up here. Most seem to be taking a decent hit on 15 or 18 at this stage.

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at 13 for r15 if slater gets into origin and Nu Brown plays, 11 for r18 (again, depending on Slater) and 13 for r19 Just seems like others have a few more bodies on hand. Slater/RTS to Calker will help for r15 and 18 but still feel like I need to do something more!

Is there any concrete evidence or any trending pointing towards the fact that JBrom might return to form?

I Can't see it. Looking at it a bit more indepth, there's nothing there pointing to it.

I can see what you're selling but I'm not buying it.

Literally just traded him for Vaughan. Had him pegged to go now anyway as he's peaked and won't play the next two big byes.
Thought about bringing JBrom in but don't see his output changing and if it does, I can bring him in through other means if I want him.
Gone with a more secure scorer for the year - Vaughan. Expect he'll score more total points between now and the end of the season by a long way.

JBrom last 5 games

Pros

- Played 52-59 mins
- 21-27 tackles
- 120-150 metres
- Not many TBs or Offloads 0 line breaks so if can add to game

Cons

- Played 52-59 mins
- 21-27 tackles
- 120-150 metres
- Not many TBs or Offloads 0 line breaks

Storm have been spreading the ball around alot more this year so the less hitups for JBrom is expected. If you're picking him up expecting him to increase value, it'll be at the back off increasing his TB/Offloads, not his run meters

Yes 150 metres last game already decent. All season 0 line breaks 7 TBs 5 OLs

Last game 2 OLs is 40% of his season total

Who has the better job security,Edwards or Lolohea? Can't decide which one

Does anybody else on this forum own ET? I'm sure it's just you and me, as I never see anybody else mention him lol.

Our squads must be quite a like, as I too have my entire 2RF available, but no WFB (Or CTR for that matter)

I have ET. Still going well at almost keeper level. Will decide rd 18 whether to upgrade/ downgrade

danseels1985 wrote:Who has the better job security,Edwards or Lolohea? Can't decide which one

Lolohea, but I'd go Edwards.

Anyone thinking of going Captain Fifita/Gallen in this wet weather?

So I'm guessing everyone with Niko is holding this week? I'm still tempted to sell him
