    Is that the game where scores were like 86-44? If it's that one then a pretty good representation of Super League.

    If any of the books are Dave Hadfield's (Up & Over, Down & Under, and XIII Winters), and they might be if you're in the UK, they're well worth reading.

    Biographies,  yearbooks, histories. It's amazing.

    There's a 1995 Super League PC game that looks great.

    Sweet! Are there any books there of ex NRL players or are they just SL related?

    Hmm, time for some musing out loud, TLDR WARNING  - BORING POST INCOMING

    So my team is currently:

    McInnes, Brailey
    Brown, Wallace, VHorny, Hoare
    Chrichy , Surgess , Kapow , JDB, Whitehead, Capewell
    Norman, Munster, Brown, Laybutt
    Croker, Cotric, Fuimaono, Scott
    Edwards, RTS, Rapa , Hayne, Holmes

    8 trades, 148K ITB. 

    I'm thinking of making two cash out trades this week if i can, ideally for guys who play R18 since my other trades are a little dependent on origin and such.

    I want cash for a Rd 20 Brailey - Smith, that's locked in as a trade to come, but then my other targets don't feel quite so obvious.

    I wanted Billy back because i love him as a player but I also kind of expected him to have been let go by more teams who then couldn't afford to bring him back. However looking at it he still has ~25% ownership. The sauce is another player i wanted (~2.58%), so maybe i should just aim for him and forget all about Slater.

    I wanted to bring SJ into the final team (through punting a WFB and shifting Munster down) because he's been far and away the best scoring half this season, but I'm wondering whether instead I'd be better off bringing in DCE if by some chance he isn't named for QLD, or Cleary. If I'm not doing the trade this week it means I'll be looking at DCE (9*45 = 405) or SJ (8*57 = 456) or Cleary (9*49 = 441). Actually looking at those numbers I probably should have gone through this earlier so that I could have shifted Munster this week and got more value out of the trade.... doh. 

    Then i was contemplating Aitken to pair with Croker for the run in as maybe someone worth a gamble on for a CTR POD Keeper, who should be well underpriced come RD 19/20.  

    So that's 4 Trades out of 8 if i went through with them all, though the cash would need to come from somewhere. 

    Of those who I can consider expendable I guess I've got RTS, Holmes, Hayne (can't do it this week), Cotric (will hurt to do), Capewell (will also hurt and if i waited one more week I assume he should still make more cash). 

    So... I guess, yeah i dunno, maybe i do the Sauce trade this week for RTS/Holmes and one cash out Cotric/Capewell. Damn once again If i'd done this process sooner i could have had the option to move Hayne up to Ctr whilst cashing out Cotric. Screw you real life stuff.

    I'm not convinced that upgrades to your backs are wise/necessary at this point. If you want to get Smith then any trades you do should be downgrades to finance that. Are you planning on running 4 WFB in your final 17? Because I see any combo involving Munster, Rapana and 1 of the other 3 would be fine at this point, and you can luxury trade to more of a 'gun' if you find you have the cash and trades remaining. Upgrading to a half via Munster is a better proposition for your final team considering your trades remaining.

    I say take your pick of RTS/Hayne/Holmes/Cotric and focus on them becoming your half of choice (I would say SJ but if you have a hunch on DCE then go for it) over the next round or two. The other one can be a downgrade (unless you need them in your final team). I'd trade Capewell or Whitehead (depends how much money you want) to Lewis Brown/bottom dollar CTR via Fui and that would give you a few hundred thousand more to spend.

    The way I see it you probably want to make 4 trades total and then make two upgrades.

    The rank I see your cash out options are...

    Capewell
    Cotric/Holmes
    R. Tuivasa-Scheck
    Hayne (With how he has scored the last couple weeks it has been good and decent DPP)

    So based on that I would trade out Cotric/Holmes/Capewell most likely. All 3 guys are missing Round 18 regardless so it comes down to personal preference and who you feel will be better for the run home. Capewell has a BE of 3 so is a wait and see, if Holmes has another subpar outting he could lose close to another $20k. Cotric's BE is a little more reasonable but could lose some cash this week too. (Assuming neither guy has a massive game.)

    Then the upgrades, this is how I would rate them.

    Brailey -> Smith
    WFB -> Johnson/Cleary
    WFB -> Mansour
    WFB -> Aitken

    Personally I think Johnson and Cleary are more likely to outscore Mansour by end of season. Cleary has the better bye schedule but may have Cartwright to mess with his points. Meanwhile Johnson has to contend with the Warriors and can be more boom or bust. (I am leaning more towards Cleary.)

    So ideally you make the top 2 trades in each option.

    Capewell downgrade can wait a week.
    Cotric/Holmes downgrade can happen this week.
    Brailey upgrade happens round 20.
    Cotric/Holmes upgrade can't happen this week. (Munster has played.)

    So I would make the 1 downgrade trade and see how Origin team lists/injuries may affect your squad. That should give you some cash in the bank, and trades in hand for injuries.

    FMD. I had to leave out one from Fui, Smat, Aubbs and Scott. Thought the smart move was to play the 2RFs. So Scott got benched.

    After last night, Brailey to Smith is the number one trade that Brailey owners should be aiming for (myself included).  Not sure what Smith's BE was but assuming he stays around the same price, you are going to need 260K lets say 270K to be safe in round 20.  I am thinking though unless someting drastic happens in origin, this trade can even be done in round 19 if the funds are there, just to lock him up, but that's a luxury.

    Your downgrade option IMO are Capewell, Cotric, Holmes and to a lesser extent RTS and Hayne.  Hayne going by the last two weeks though, could be shifted to centre and I think he'll perform fine for that spot if Aitken is out of reach trades wise.  I'm liking Aitken too in a few weeks, but you can't have everyone.

    Mansour is so tempting but perhaps suck it up and wait for Cleary or SJ next week that way you can move Munster down and your backs are pretty set.  After Dugan getting a bit of an injury, you never know, if he's for some reason unavailable which I doubt, Mansour might get the call up.  I've gone Cleary for Lamb this week but have SJ also, so I think both will possibly be the two best halves by season end.  DCE needs a lot of attacking stats, but is coming good.

    Not looking at BE's but this week you could look at just Capewell or Cotric to LBrown this week.  Next week RTS to Cleary then Holmes and Capewell to whatever you think based on cash and how much you would need to keep looking forward to round 20.  

    I think look at the Cleary/SJ trade as a main priority over Mansour.  I wouldn't stress much about the Aitken one at this stage, until Smith is locked back in anyway.  If Fui can keep the spot he can slot straight in, plus you have Hayne you can shift in there if need be.  Get your extra half and work towards your kitty, and make other trades around it.  Looks like all you could do this week is as I said Cotric or Capewell to Brown, or even Holmes to Whare?

    Lads, I missed Bellamy putting Curtis Scott back in, doh. If i 'forget' to put the R on one of my reserves will i get the AE from Scott? I have only 18 available.

    Alternatively, i'm sticking pins in a Braidon Burns doll for the rest of the weekend...and i'm clumsy...ouch. affraid

    I missed his late inclusion as well. Look on the bright side, at least we have him in our team!

    As far as the AE is concerned I'm pretty sure it'll be the lowest scorer in your NPRs so if you put the R on Burns and he doesn't play, you're 18th man Scott should get the AE.

    P.S. Broncs wore St George Indigenous jersey for lead up to NAIDOC week. They also announced best 13 Indigenous players. The man Mundine 5/8

    He looked a bit lethargic compared to his usual self. Also drags were trying to spread the ball around a bit so less tackling for him to do.
    His minutes are a concern now. Looks like 50-60mins will be the norm for him. Titans forwards off the bench looked good

    Agree with Wolfie. Luxury trade for a potential AE/injury cover.

    Brown won't play 80 every week, and Wallace seems to benefit every time someone is injured (I could be wrong on that as I haven't really followed him).

    You'd be better off setting that trade aside to trade an injured player later to someone in form at that time. Or, use that trade to pick someone up who will maximise your 18 AND 19 points.

      Current date/time is Sat Nov 23, 2024 6:13 pm
