Re Smith2 I thought it was weird that he wasn't named on the extended bench with doubt surrounding CS9.

Are Nathan Brown owners keeping him til the end of the season? I can use him to bring or Mannering or Pearce after round 19 so I'm wondering if anyone is doing likewise

With only 8 trades left, he's scoring enough points for me that he'll remain in my 17.

Take out the game he got injured and scored a 6 and he still has a 3 and 5 round average of 50. Anything above 50 in the FRF position is a keeper in my book.

As with the other lads, keeping.

Scoring too well and DPP to not keep as 18/19th man with Hayne

Thinking J. Graham and A. Elliott out for M. Taupau and NPR.

Also C. Smith (C) and S. Burgess (VC).

I remember someone trying that for a draft team.

I am forced into keeping him due to trades. Honestly I would keep him either way unless you have realy excessive amount of trades or it is literally the only upgrade you can make.

Back to Peats as left field 2nd hooker with McInnes. 37.5 base stats in 6 games 80 mins. That's tackles run and kick metres less negatives

It's become prolific.

And you know you are reading far too many fantasy related threads when you are driving around and you start noticing these triple bangers on number plates!

Shanbon I think at one stage

I'm ranked 14th in overall. Here are just two trades that would have probably seen me take Top Spot.

A. Buying Ponga instead of Abbey

B. Keeping Kaufusi

The lesson here is the Bulldogs have fucked me over this year. Matt Frawley was a good purchase, got some points over the byes and helped make me some cash after fortuitously coming into the starting position.
Otherwise though the lesson is don't buy Bulldogs players.

No reason to trade him out at this stage, plan on keeping him. Getting rid of him is a luxury trade.

If Kaufusi has another couple of big games, I may end up looking at keeping him also.
