Just had a look at the bloke Revs is against. He scored 419 last week but has a very good team. So mustn't be updating. If he did he'd score at least twice that.

Should i be scared ? Do u mean u think my opoonent may change because of the 419 ??

Haha, nah, I meant for someone who scored 419 with that team he mustn't be updating. A couple of trades and he might go alright in a few weeks when his injured return but nothing to worry about now.

You got dis.

All over it like white on rice hey

I was of the same opinion. Especially seeing you appear to be an overall player stating your current rank. Hold those guys you want their points next week, unless you have a shedload of round 13 players. If anything trade Frawley but for a 13 player as Tohu misses that and possibly 16 too after Denver test. So misses 2 in next 5 most likely. Maybe throw your team up so we can have a better look?

Thanks lads, sorry clear as mud.

Team is:

Cook, Smith
Fifita, Kikau, Surgess, Paseka
JTrbo, Arrow, Murray, RFM, Capewell, Martin
Reynolds, JT, Johnson, Frawley
Matterson, Mitchell, Inglis, GJennings
Ponga, Tedesco, Walker, Thompson, Katoa

Bolded are round 13 players. Assuming Cook, JTurbo, Inglis, Tedesco and lets say Mitchell get picked for Origin, that leaves me with 10 or 11 for Round 13.  Take the point that its crazy to trade out a Round 13 player now.  So that means Frawley and possibly Paseka (injury) or Capewell (no position for him if Graham doesn't get picked for Origin) out?

I can do Frawley and Capewell to Brimson and Crichton?  I really like Harris at his price, but I guess I should wait.  How about Alvaro or Ese'ese as PODs?

Think I'm going to bank my 2 trades this week. That means it's Murray vs Kikau for last reserve. Any opinions?

Brimson v TMM v Hodko who's the best pick?

Kikau for mine as I think he gets more minutes and his ceiling is higher.

Kikau has a higher ceiling, but probably a lower floor too.

Check late mail on Saturday. Surgess is meant to be OK, but he might be a late withdrawal and Murray would get a reprieve

Good points thanks guys. At least the Bunnies play first on Saturday so I get plenty of notice either way

Sorry for late reply, just back from the wilderness this arvo and catching up on the threads. If you havent traded any of these 3 are better options than the first lot of trades you put up although Crichton is an outside chance for origin and Alvaro is locked out now. Harris misses 2 of the next 4 weeks, hes a good price without being massive unders

Had a look at my eliminator early in the week and thought I'd be sweet. Just had a better look, it has be getting up by about 100, but on closer inspection he's carrying 4 players in his 17 who aren't starting this week.

Thanks @Bullbender. Ended up going Ese'ese over Alvaro - hoping Easy E can match his 66 points...

Sorry I missed it too but Ese is a decent POD who seems to be jagging a pretty consistent 50 odd mins a game this year.

If he can stroll across the line like last week he might even match Alvaro.

Guessing you traded Kikau for him which I think is a good trade

My eliminator has done well moving players around and trades to put 16 and a AE on the paddock. Still left him well short and had Hess as captain. Bring on next round.

Speaking of Hess @SI has him also which has bridged the gap in 1 foul swoop. I may just get revenge on last week.

Thought I would have an easy run in the eliminator until I noticed my opponent captained Cam. Hopefully I will still get up but staring at Smith’s 186 is pretty daunting!

^ good luck there.
I was always in the box seat in eliminator but when they traded their Capt Wallace to Capt. Maloney I smiled.

Tough week with SJ out and Matterson and Fifi late withdrawals.

Yep I have all three. Played Brimson over SJ, Doughy over Matterson and Kikau over Fifi.

857 (C) / Ponga and Martin left.

Ranked 21st but 600 beind first. Ridiculous.

Im 10th and he is daylight in front. Traded GI for a bye "friendly" option in fonua and staring at Vals 92 outside my 17 after i played him last week for a 23 fucking hurt when you need those moves to go your way to try and bridge the ridiculous gap
