I regret not starting with Guth this year.

Scott(if he is dropped for Blair) to TTurbo
Brown to Pearce via Fui and Munster
RTS to Tedesco or upgrade Fui

Anyone see any ideas that I'm not seeing?

You've got a solid 18 players and only three trades left. I would be saving them and not doing anything until you lose a gun and upgrading then.

If you make the Scott ---> TTurbo trade at least switch Hayne to centre so you have the option of Hayne/TTurbo switch to cover both positions.

Deciding I don't want to trade Munster out for Walker. The cash would be great, but I don't trust Walker.

It's not all roses and candy owning Gutherson. Played him over RTS last week

Guess that's the risk you take when you have 4 solid WFB to choose from.

Yeah none of these trades would happen til at least round 20 and if injuries are kind to me. I wouldn't want to trade Brown but if I can bring in Pearce it would be very tempting as Taupau can move to FRF and my 4 reserves would be McInnes,Gallen,Crichton and Munster. Bit of a luxury trade sure but it does appeal to me if I have luck with injuries

My squad this week

R Farah
M Taupau, Z Tetevano
S Burgess, A Crichton, T Merrin
D Cherry Evans, N Cleary
M Aubusson, T Fuimaono, C Scott
D Edwards, C Walker

Pretty happy with what I have this week:

Friend (c)
Brown, Jbrom, JWH, Gurgess
Taupau, Surgess, Crichton, Fitzgibbon
Norman, A Rey
Fuimaono, Scott, Griffin
Edwards, Mansour, Gutho

Yeah, I'd be happy too mate with a full team. Well done.

Mau out also for anyone that has him.

N.Brown has played 80mins in 3 of his last 4 games, how likely is this to continue for the rest of the season?

I reversed my Merrin trade but I just cant make up my mind between him and Brown.

Brown is cheaper, has DPP which is handy, his minutes are more guaranteed and more likely to play 80mins but he has a bye next week.

Merrin has a higher ceiling, has no more byes, has a rep for finishing a season off strongly but game time may be an issue with Carty and Yeo still to come back as well as CHN being in the mix.

Any opinions lads?

The way I look at trades - what would piss you off more? Seeing Merrin finish the season strong and not being on him or getting him and him floundering? Whatever one pisses you off the most do the other one.

Team for the week:

Friend (VC)
Taupau (C), Gurgess
Crichton, Merrin, Fui
Cleary, DCE, Moses
SMat, Scott
Edwards, Walker, Semi

Hoping for 700+

Thats a tough one mate, they'd both piss me off the same

Did the same thing. Oh well only 16 point difference and I blame the Eels for shutting up shop in the 2nd half for Guth's average score.

I'm bringing in Merrin.
Based on that alone, Brown is definitely your man.

I had planned all along for 17 this week to be my big push into the top 100

A big fuck you to Lewis Brown and a little less to Munster for just being too good leave out of the Qld side.

I have just used my last trade on slater to king Guthrie main reason is because i wanted a backup for my halves as I now don't have any trades left but feel I have the depth to ride the season out, my team is

Rank 236
C Smith, C Mcinnnes
Tapau, Brown, McGuire, eisenhuth
Tlolo, surgess, crichton, Gallen, mannering, JDB
Shaun Johnson, tui lolo, CNK, Feeney
Hayne, Fui, Curtis Scott, Lewis brown
Tturbo, Tedesco, RTS, king guth, p matautia

Honest thoughts?

Have 10 playing this week including Smat.
Thinking of cashing a out SMat this week. (giving 9)
Not sure he will get his BE, so hoping to save some cash.
also allows me to buy two guys next week. Think I am better off with less point than less cash if BE is not meet.

Silly ?????

Just wondering whether yourself, Random and Finch are related in some way?
