    Yeah the DPP swap between HLF and WFB is so handy to have.  I got rid of Walker last week, I didn't want him to lose anymore cash and he pulls out s 65 the prick! Now everyone is talking about trading him in, I'm not convinced , I still think his best position is in the halves.

    Agree.
    Standard WFB scoring from Walker

    The cotric to Turbo move really only stacks up due to the extra round, right?

    Friend whose 67 was the only score over 56 all season playing with Pearce. I'll stick with McInnes

    Take out his score of zero a few weeks back and he's averaging 53 for the year. He's captain, so he's playing 80 most weeks and his base stats are solid. I'll take Friend over McInnes any day.

    This time of the year you want players in teams improving and contending. Look at Penrith and Canberra last year. Their players brained it. Saints have overperformed and I reckon they're on a downward spiral and I expect to see McInnes' numbers go the same way. Jmo.

    That's a big reason for bringing him in. I was always going to move Cotric on at some point.

    I've now got a number of WFB/CTR trying out for a final position in the team over the next few weeks.

    I'm planning on keeping him at this stage. One of the handful of players I started the season with.

    Seeing people planning three trades this week has me feeling feeling jealous. I have five left and one of those is for Smith.

    I'm dropping RTS simply because I've got 4 good WFB's and I don't have room to play all of them so either way I'm going to be benching an expensive player every week.

    Good to have depth but if I can use the trade out to get cash to finalize my team and get Lolo in then it's worth doing for me.

    Agree with this. So who are this year's Raiders/Panthers? Manly for one - making DCE, Walker and both Turbos attractive. Who else? Maybe the Eels (Brown/Norman) or maybe one of the Raiders/Panthers again needing a streak to get into the 8.

    Hey everyone. Will chuck my trades out and see if anyone is keen on them.

    Munster > Walker/Turbo
    Lolohea > DCE
    ET > Buhrer/Merrin

    Really keen for some PODs now. Will leave me 5 trades.
    Would make a downgrade in the FRF/2RF but can't see anyone worthy

    What are the chances of him keeping up with Mannering from here on? If I turn Graham into him rather Mannering I save 91k, have another scorer this week and have cash left over to use elsewhere. Going with Mannering leaves bugger all itb and with 5 trades left I'll have to use one of them as a cashout to raise funds.

    Merrin looks enticing but his scores and minutes have been so inconsistent this year I'm not sure if I can trust him.

    Merrin and JBrom get a lot of air time in fantasy including around here which is full of good judges.

    They are going awful guys.

    Injuries aside. Their minutes are what they are and their points are trash.

    Now Peachey is coming in for Whare to hopefully help Merrin get this big boost but if we just go on what we've seen and know from THiS year, you shouldn't be going anywhere near him

    I was going to trade RTS to Tedesco for 5-10 points a week upgrade but I feel like the trade is better spent turning JBrom in to someone that is a decent scorer

    He was getting panned the other day

    Souths have started playing more direct the last two weeks. Instead of big sweeping plays off slow play the balls they are taking on tired forwards through the middle by inside balls to Walker and having Walker lurking around for offloads. It has made a huge difference to his scores and Souths look like a better team aswell
