    Cheers boys.

    That's a really tough one. I'd want Slater for the ride home as opposed to Walker though. Walker has been shit but is definitely gold for those two rounds. Are they the only two options for Edwards?

    See how Slater pulls up after tonight first. I have him and am pretty committed to holding him unless an injury strikes. If he's fine and plays this week, that's only one extra game Slater misses over Walker which could be enough to swing to hold Slater perhaps.

    oh yeah, i was agreeing with you, re cp13.

    I like Mcguire but he's not a "lock". I think next year he'll be back in the front row for the Broncos.

    Agree with that too. Front rower all the way, just not a 13 at all.

    Don't mind that. I think that either way, we need to get Gillett more involved. Only took 3 hit ups in game one, and ran 57 metres overall which included a line break.

    I think QLD will need to play down both edges a bit more tonight.

    Cheers. Yeah I think I'll sell Walker because he's playing shit atm & I can't really see that changing. Fantasy wise after Rapana on recent form I rate Slater as the 2nd best f/b in fantasy & I'd rather have him over Walker by a country mile.

    I agree hes been shit, but I'd hold off for one more game. He still scored ~50 last week didnt he? It feels like he will go ok so long as Souths go ok as a team. Despite him playing like rubbish he still gets lots of touches in the backline. If the team starts to fire (like last week) you'd think he scores ok.

    Thank you for your opinion kind sir, yes I was tossing up between A and B myself. My trades this week (unless I change my mind again) are Semi to Edwards and Kelly to Tedesco via Hayne. I have 108k left but only 4 trades left after this week. I am hoping to not have to use any more trades until round 19 where if cash allows me to go with option B I will have this as my final team hopefully(but with only 1 trade remaining yikes)

    Smith McInnes
    Fifita Taupau Eisenhuth Fai
    Taumalolo JDB Surgess Gallen Crichton JTurbo
    SJ Munster Hampton NuBrown
    BJ Hayne Fuimaono Scott
    RTS Tedesco Edwards 138k Phythian


    How does this sound?

    Who did u let go for Eisenhuth ?

    But most of his points were from 1 play when he scored his try & the problem with Souths is that you don't know which team will turn up. #jeckylandhyde

    I could go Lamb to Edwards with 1 trade but that would mean I couldn't go JDB to Tuapau which actually may be a blessing in disguise. I already have Taumalolo as a boom or bust type player so I was a bit uneasy getting in another boom/bust type player in Taupau.

    I was going to keep CWalker... but with JDB out, I'm forced to make a trade somewhere to add to the numbers...

    these are my trade out options that can give me an extra player for the round:

    Pritchard, Gurgess, Ipapalii, JDB, CWalker, Laybutt, Abbey, Phythian
    115k in the bank

    I don't want to trade out JDB...and with 9 trades left, I don't really want to waste a trade on getting rid of an NPR

    I can understand why people are trading out slater because of the games he is going to miss but would you rather have slater or walker for the last 7 rounds?
    If you take out walkers score against a weakened titans team then there are some concerns there!

    Reached my final team but only have 4 trades remaining Sad . Here is the tricky part- I say "final team", but I would still like to get Smith and Pearce in before the season ends using those trades. I am thinking I should straight up trade Smith round 20 and fly by the skin of my teeth on just the 3 trades because I do not have Gallen or Fifita for a solid captaincy option otherwise (have been riding JDB since I sold Smith round 12). I guess my overall question is how I balance saving those trades for injury and getting those final pieces of the true ultimate "final form" SSJ4 gun team.

    McInnes Friend(r)
    Vaughn Brown Graham(r)
    JDB Surgess Crichton Taupau(r) Merrin(r)
    Johnson Munster
    Leilua SMat
    Tedesco Slater Gutherson
    + Gurgess as a useless numpty in dire emergency

    I agree mate. Walkers last 7 scores if you exclude his 51 = 30, 41, 27, 70, 34, 25, 28 which is an average of 36.43%. His season average is 45 so he's dropped nearly 10 points of his season average. His next 4 games after his bye in round 16 are Panthers, Roosters, Cowboys & Sharks so these are difficult games for him to score well in based on Souths poor form. I feel Walker to Edwards is the way to go.

    You are probably right mate. Although I reckon, if possible, another look at him wouldn't hurt, but those scores and the way he's been playing are ominous.

    Im gonna keep him due to lack of trades and the fact that with his DPP (and Munster in my side) he works out as quite a nice 18th/19th man. Will cover a gap later in the season if I need him to, and if he improves may even be a starter in some matchups.

    He of course still has value as a bye player with rounds 18 and 19 still to come.
