I can turn McGuire and nuff into Gurgess and Jbrom. Smat also becomes Munster.

10 trades left

Current team

Friend Brailey
Gurgess JBrom Graham Fifita
Surgess Chrichton JDB Mannering Wallace Merrin
SJ Walker Lolo FBrown
Cotric Moga Fui nuf
RTS Munster Semi nuf nuf

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Is anyone considering Nofoaluma as a trade in next week? I assume he'll be down in the low 300s and will be a great pickup for little cash.

Look, I've had an ok run with bets so far this season, I think I'm something like 2-2 against Welshy (Both wins i backed Cotric and he brought it home!) so far this season.
However, i lost the big one and that's cost me dearly! I'll have my revenge at the end of the season when i win the Rapa v Teddy bet so its all good there, I can wait...So long as i get another win or two before then, come on QLD!!!!!

I'd personally be against that. You get bye round points sure but neither are worth keeping unless either of them somehow get back to their 2015 averages. Better off going McGuire to JBrom and then using that cash to turn Brailey into McInnes or hoarding some cash to get a top flight gun HLF in.

Walker is pulling a Moses lately and not looking like keeper material. With money you get from the J McGuire trade out instead of getting Gurgess you could trade Walker out next week for say Nathan Cleary and strengthen your HLF's.

Just the moves I would be looking to make. Decision is up to you

One score over 38 in last 5. No thanks

I'm at a bit of a loss where to go next. Like many the bye rounds have been pretty shit for my team. Wallace and Slater playing SOO haven't helped the cause.

I'll have 11 playing this week as it stands. 16 trades remaining but only 76k up my sleeve. There's no outstanding options that I can see. I'm considering doing a Wallace to either Vaughan or JBrom trade. Vaughan is more expensive than Wallace and doesn't play Rd18 and JBrom is cheaper, plays the next 3 rounds but his form has been pretty rubbish. The potential trade option is bringing Norman back in for Slater and shifting Walker to WFB.

Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciate.

The risk is you might get stuck with Gurgess and JBrom being two mid range scorers and not have enough trades to get rid of either of them. JBrom could be handy over the next few weeks and I'm considering bringing him in but I've got 16 trades (haven't traded this round yet) and if continues putting out the 30's I'll burn a trade and move him on. Tough one!

lads, i am hoping off the jgraham train (quitting while i am disgustingly behind)

any decent frf cashouts about?

Almost by definition TFBB must be a glutton for punishment.
And who's this Archer you talk about??

Corey Jensen maybe. Vaivai from the Titans has played a few games this year so might be an AE risk but with no Wallace he could get more minutes. Eisentuth from the Tigers is base price but bench forwards like him are like having an NPR.

Trust me I have Hame Sele in my team and I look very forward to the 10 points he'll add to my score this round.

Tossing up between surgess and taumalolo in for Whitehead. Thinking Lolo because I've never had him before but surgess is the bunnies at the moment and he's the kind of guy to drag the rest of them into form. Can you guys up vote for Lolo and down vote for surgess?

I'm not sure about cashouts but I'm planning on keeping him until at least the end of rd 18, then will reassess after that. Graham's had a habit of hitting a rough patch over the past couple of seasons and coming back firing becoming an almost must have keeper.

those four are the exact four i was considering. spose gonna go eisenthuth. base price and doesnt look like much of a chance of being an AE later on. dont have high hopes so win-win right.

You're 0 - 2 against me Archie!!

Had Fogarty all year. Expected him to get a run in the halves at Parra on last year's form in Qcup. Moses killed that, but I'll take him at the Titans. Mint. Kicks goals too. Fuimauno is real interesting, starting in the 2R. He could get some good minutes now and is more the style Madge wants on an edge. Definite watch. Time to trade out some Warriors. See ya later Mannering and SJ. For now. Hello Debelin and Lolohea. I think lolo will continue to go well in the Tigers halves. SJ can come back in later. With the other trade being Idris > Scott, gives me almost $400k in the bank, 10 trades left and a pretty good team each week during the byes now. Surely some of these top teams are taking a hit this week? I scored 924 last week and dropped 200 spots.

The way he is going he will potentially go under 300k.  If you are keen maybe wait till after his Round 18 bye.  Who would you be chopping mate?

My vote's for Surgess. They're both in form at the moment (except for Lolo's shorter game time last week) and Surgess plays Rd. 18.

I mean go hard or go home Rabs but Mannering + SJ for JDB & Lolo seems like crazy talk to me. Best of luck to you though.

You think he cares? If I was selected for Origin and the Courier Mail wrote a bad story about me being a nobody I'd print it and have it framed. I'd use it as motivation to shove it up their ass everytime I could.

Mate I hope he does fire up and scores a try or puts Klemmer on his ass.

I just think it was unnecessary to attack him personally like that. Would rather is be attacked as a team than one player that hasn't brought anything on to himself
