Thoughts on this trade??

I don't like either of those.

I guess if you need the money then ditch Elliot, but I'd look to a keeper / basement price combo instead of two "mid rangers" JDB (or similar) + Laybut (or similar) for example.

I'm having a hard time deciding who to trade out for Graham from Mcguire and Whitehead. Both should only miss this week amd rnd 18, both solid but I really hate McGuires face

Frawley to CScott via Munster from FB to halves and Suli from centre to FB
Just confirming I can do this trade an hour before Storm kickoff since Doggies/Storm/Tigers haven't or don't play yet?

Well then it looks like you made your own option.

I think all 3 would average about the same so I probably wouldn't make the trade unless I am missing something about Graham.

Yeah that is accurate.

Well I wouldn't be trading James Graham out. Wait until he finds out..

Looks like Don is out for Titans which means Philip Sami will debut. I know nothing about him and I doubt he's in the system. apparently 183cm and 95kg. another big kid.

Still concerned about needing Suli and Brailey to score a certain amount. Was going to bring Edwards this week but might roll the dice. The extra player should be worth the risk this week.

I'm doing Slater>Walker because he plays 3 weeks Slater misses and the DPP works to shuffle Munster to maximise R. Hoping he pulls out a +50 against Titans

Hey guys.

Have I missed anything the past 24-36 hours? Haven't been reading much info. Anybody out of the weekend? Injury cloud?

Thanks!

He better put up a big score... he's had 3 low scoring rounds in a row.

Bunnies have been rubbish though

He's been getting screwed the last few weeks in TBs though. Not that he should have been scoring at gun level but he's been missing out on around 3 or so TB each week so could have potentially been another 9 or so points better each week

Is Cleary a viable final 17 2nd half? Nearly a 3rd of his missed tackles came in last game. Guth>Cleary next week would transition very well for byes

Maybe we should send another letter to Ramesh and Sanjay?

The Panthers seemed to have turned a corner... if they keep it up Cleary will definitely be viable

Thoughts on these trades:
R. Jennings out - Scott in
Kelly out - Fuimaono in
Cotric out - Munster in

Cheers.

I've got the VC on CWalker tonight.

Thank me later.

Viability is often determined by available trades and cash

Pearce and SJ have been the best 2 halves this year by a reasonable margin. Ideally they are your 2 halves for the run home.

There are a bunch of other halves on the next tier down that have a similar scoring potential.
Guys like Cleary, Thurston, DCE, Norman and a few others

Any one of these guys could kill it in the run home. Hard to say who it will be. Cleary is as good a bet as any - been scoring well the past few months (last week's missed tackle-a-thon hopefully a one off aberration)

What do you want from these players and what's the plan for the rest of the year?

I don't mind the Lolohea trade in if you expect to be playing him multiple rounds (say, R15, 16 and 19) and if you plan to keep him around as a handy 4thWFB/3rdHLF NPR. But if you only plan to use him this round, go cheaper. A basement price player who scores 10 less points this week is better value.

Not sure about ET. If you want to upgrade Elliot to a keeper who plays this week, I'd be looking at your JDB/Tlolo/Surgess types. Brown is cheaper than ET too, if he doesn't mess up your future byes too much.
