Who will score more points between now and end of the year. Fifita or taupau?

Traded Suli to Niukore for his DPP centre/2row and is a chance for a bench spot with Eels injuries.

Kelly to Cleary via Munster.

ill be running a high risk, high ceiling reserves strategy back end of this year using a half and 2 fullbacks.

You are a harsh man Filthy, Felise pumped out a 61 last week (11 more than Kapow), rose $14k, has a BE of 32, a 3 round average of 58 and a 5 round average of 51. Your team must be stacked.

I'm gutted I sold him, I bailed early on a few cows that had a little hiccup and then came good again (Felise, Cotric, Yates, Moga, Suli to an extent) - whilst the troops I traded them to became duds. Cost me cash and trades but the two I really regret are Felise and Cotric.

Clearly I haven't been keeping up with his latest scores!

As a general rule people should actually be buying him for the sole reason that I sold him a few weeks back.

I have done exactly the same for you with Felise, Cotric and Yates to an extent. Glad I got rid of Suli and gutted I'm still holding Moga!

Yeah no doubt Suli and Moga are well past their expiry date, but I sold them almost $100k below their peak.

I'm glad I held Felise

he's scored more points than any FRF bar Vaughan

Yeah I would of been much better off if I had of kept him instead of trading to Fifita 2-3 rounds ago. As a rough estimate probably 80-90 points including round 15.

Ok i have 2 trades left after this week to use to get my final team. Then will have 4 trades in reserve.
The 2 trades will be whitehead to nuffie and brailey to smith in round 20. Writing off round 18 and hoping going for team early will help out. Current team

Mcinnes brailey
Taupau wallace vaughan tualau
Gallen taumolo jdb surgess crichton whitehead
Arey sj fogarty field
Aubs hayne fuimano npr
Rts mansour munster npr npr

With dpp i can cover most injuries with aubs/fui/munster. Whitehead will be for frf/2rf dpp

As long as you get a FRF/2RF DPP nuffie you should be sorted for the run home

Thats whiteheads cashout. With smith in my 5th reserve will be fui/hayne....if jbrom/graham  look good this next week or 2 i might bring one of thwm in as the 5th res

Ranked 993. Not in contention but would like to at least get about top 500 to get best rank since starting... needing to ensure i keep thos 4 trades, was in a better position a few years back then the fensom imjury and a few others derailed me

Smith Hodgson
Taupau Graham Vaughan Hoare
JDB LOLO Gallen Brown Crichton Stimson
SJ Munster Feeney Fields
Turbo Aubbs Scott Fui
RTS Slater Hayne MWZ Phythian

122k with 6 trades left.

Weaknesses Hodgson, RTS, Hayne (potentially)

Thanks mate was going to trade MWZ to Mansour but Yates got injured so I traded him to Taupau.

Cashout Brailey for Cameron King? Thoughts on that guys?

I will drink to that mate! Glad I still have him too. He's looking more and more dangerous too.

Do I spend my Cameron Smith warchest on going Yates to Kapow?? Don't need to trade but that would make my forward pack pretty awesome. Squad looking like;

McInnes Brailey
Fifita Brown Kaufusi Yates
Surgess Tolo JDB Crichton Elliot Fui
SJ Munster Lamb Laybutt
SMat Croker Cotric Kelly
Edwards RTS Slater Lolohea Semi

11 trades, 245K in the bank.

I traded Elliot to Kapow... seeing Elliot will start losing a bit of cash before going up again... and it's an extra player for round 19

I cashed out Pritchard to him last week. Needed maximum cash out and basically taking the punt. He won't be in my 17, but it would be ultra risky if he was
