Considering how many ex Broncos players are now playing for the Titans, Brisbane will have a second team in no time

Currently playing Adam Reynolds and Jarrod Wallace in my 17.
I have back up in every position except half.
My 1st trade is to cash out Scott, leaving me with 215k.
What's the better upgrade?
Reynolds to Cleary
Reynolds to DCE
Reynolds to Munster
Wallace to Taumololo
Wallace to Nathan Brown.
Or do I hold the trades?
The money I have left will be used to upgrade the other option, or be used for injury.
Thanks in advance.
I'd go Reynolds to either DCE or Cleary. I think Cleary should be the most consistent out of the two for the run home.

As long as when GC relocate to be Brisbane 2 they leave their drug culture down the M1. We don't need that influence around our clean-skin young angels.

I have 3 trades and going to burn 2 to bring in one more final gun and keep the last trade for injuries/rested players etc. My team;
Smith McInnes
Fifita Vaughn Taupau Yates
Surgess Tolo JDB Crichton Brown Fui
Cleary Lolohea Munster Nuff
Turbo Croker Cotric Nuff
Edwards Slater Dufty Walker Semi
Basically to make it simple, which gun am I missing and should bring in? Don't care who I trade, will be between Semi, Cotric, Walker and Yates.
Which one do I get, price doesn't matter, I'll make it work;
Mannering, Gal, Pearce, DCE or Teddy?
Smith McInnes
Fifita Vaughn Taupau Yates
Surgess Tolo JDB Crichton Brown Fui
Cleary Lolohea Munster Nuff
Turbo Croker Cotric Nuff

I would switch Munster down to your WFB and play him there and trade in one of DCE or Pearce to really bolster that position. It boils down to who you think will score more in the run in (I personally think Pearce will)

Can't guarantee it gets easier at the bottom mate!
In league 7 I am and have been no better than about 4th or 5th all year despite hovering around top 300

Ive been on Mannering since R1 and have almost emptied him of all fluids - but is Lolo > DCE an alternative?

You have so much depth cover, it wouldn't matter if you had no trades left.wolfking wrote:I have 3 trades and going to burn 2 to bring in one more final gun and keep the last trade for injuries/rested players etc. My team;

I'd play Munster at fullback, cash out Semi, and bring in Pearce.

Thanks lads. Yeah, was thinking Pearce or DCE with bringing Munster down. Might try and get as much cash and see if I can get enough to potentially use the last trade next week for Teddy. Doubt it but you never know.

I think I'll keep Lolohea over the other three backs by bringing Munster down. DCE is tempting mate, cheers.

Going to agree with Moose on this one. Slide Munster down and pick up Pearce as Friend will be back soon. Gives you McInnes, Taupau, Crichton, Brown as your reserves and keeps Lolohea, Walker, Dufty as back up. With a trade in hand as well keeps it really nice.
Semi + Yates/Cotric/Fuimoana to fund the moves.

Thanks mate.
Yeah Semi and Yates are the two I'm looking at. Would like to get more cash for the final upgrade via Cotric, but getting rid of Yates cancels out pretty much any AE risk, even though Yates himself isn't that much of a horrid AE.

Lane was solid yesterday, I think he'll keep that spot until Siro gets back now.

Pretty funny that Lane (in my NPRs) outscored Fifita, Taumalolo, and Surgess.. not that I would consider playing Lane over those three.
Fifita does seem a spent force at the moment though. Surgess isn't far off a big score.

I wonder if PMat gets the FB gig now with Ross out. Might put him in to get my cash for my Pearce/DCE upgrade. If Peachy somehow cements that centre spot (which he should IMO) over Whare, I'd put him in for the cash. Gets me another gun but without sacrificing the depth.

I didn't have the coin for Mannering when I brought him in, but he seems to do well when he plays 80, I rather play him over Cwalker atm
