Fair enough, I'm in the exact same boat and cant decide what to do. Yesterday was Lewis Brown, today is an NPR and tomorrow will probably be Whare.

I think I've taken an AE twice in 4 years and that was when I was new

The whole AE thing is quite overblown IMO.

Horrible a.e.'s usually happen to trade ragers like me who run out of trades by round 20 haha. More astute players who manage their trades properly don't have that problem.

Just realised I organised my QLD holiday so that I fly out on Saturday morning and still get to see the Warriors play the Friday night. Unfortunately the next week my flight home is at 3pm, exact time the Warriors game kicks off. Lands 90mins later. Sad

I'm getting paranoid I've since decided to not trade since only have 5 trades left.

Me too mate, I'm down to 5 as well but the problem is, some of the guys like Teddy and Mansour have to be swooped on fairly quickly before they start hitting 500k.

Anything wrong with running Edwards and Mansour? Is it relying too much on panthers to perform to get decent scores from them?

Don't think so, even struggling teams will rely on their outside backs to take a few crab walks swatting at arms. Read: TBs.

The flip side is, the panfers do okay, and their outside backs make more TBS, LBs and MP (meat pies)

Perhaps, but most Aubs owners got hit this year when he was a late withdrawal!

I also copped one last round when I had >17 players but only 1 starting C.

I dont think so mate, I've got Edwards and I'm looking at bringing him in too. My only worry is his injury history which may become a problem if low on trades like myself.

King in for me too. Not much can go wrong with it.

This is what he does, in between his higher scores.
Its his average that matters.

I too was looking at going Friend > Smith for the run home, but Friend keeps showing he can be every bit the scorer Smith is if he plays the full 80. So I guess my plans depend on if he'll keep that role when the Roosters are full strength.

It'll be hard to offload either Friend or McInnes if they can keep scoring well.
