Croft to Doughy and Nicholls to Murray. $197k left just hope I don’t have to do any trades next week..

You could have played Papalli over him like some idiot I know.

I've updated the BE's on www.nrlfantasy.com.au - I've used 15000 as the magic number but my BE's appear slightly different to Milch's (one or two off) - I think I may have some oddness in rounding or my formula. I haven't double checked everything - if there are any glaring issues, let me know

Probably go Croft and Nicholls to Murray and TPJ/Doueihi this week for me. Should gain a few points from these two trades and hopefullybe able to sit back a few weeks.

Is Doughy worth bringing in now?

I would like to bring him and Murray in and ideally keep SST in the process?

For the time being I've done Croft and Nicholls > Murray and Doughy

Smith
Arrow, SST
Merrin, Murray, Carty
Walker, Doughy
Aitken, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Thompson

Cook, Griffin, RFM, Lodge
Rochow, Kikau, Kennar, Havili

50k in the bank, and 3 trades down.

How are we looking? Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm going Croft and Nicholls to Murray and TPJ

Smith
Arrow, TPJ
Murray, RFM, Griffin
DCE, Cartwright
Mitchell, Kennar
Teddy, Ponga, Hiku

Cook, Lichaa, Lodge, Doueihi, Rochow, Kikau, Thompson, Havili

$10.09mil, $188k in the bank. 4 trades used

Was Katoa on bench for these people?

I got highest ranking WFB. Who got otherwise.

Someone showed screenshot of Katoa 17 and Nicholls 18 was showing like emergency points

Gah, I'm a couple of k short of going Nicholls to Murray

I can go Lichaa to Macca in 1 trade and be left with 0K!

My team is giving me the shits. Everyone is "OK" without being great, except for Inglis (who feels a risky trade out for some reason, may go to fullback very soon.. may pull his finger out), and Lichaa (will he continue to get subbed?)

Smith
Lodge Arrow
Brown Merrin RFM
Cartwright Niko
Mitchell Inglis
Mbye Ponga Isaako
R: Griffin Cook Lichaa Rochow
E: Kikau Havili Nicholls Douehi

Only used 1 trade so far, only 13k in the bank. Can lichaa to Murray in one trade.. Lichaa isn't really an urgent issue though.

Surely this contradicts their own rules if person got Nicholls points

Solid squad there, should grow some cash and look for upgrades in the next month or so.

Who should I boot first along with Nicholls, GI or Croft? Will bring in Dough and TPJ/Murray (short on props, likely TPJ). I'm thinking hold GI for a week maybe, 4 halves in the squad seems silly otherwise.. But he has more potential than GI so I'm a bit confused.

.
what am i missing, it looks fine to me? I thought that is exactly the point of the new system, ie ranked reserves.

Are you saying you shouldn't get any points for Katoa cause you have no WFB cover?

Actually it doesn't contradict rereading.

"If this auto-emergency player is listed within the Interchange Players they will be replaced as an interchange Player by the highest ranked eligible emergency not currently in the Scoring 17"

But I assumed "eligible" meant matching position

No, it's bench player replaces bench player. It would be against rules if Nichols was replacing Katoa in WFB.

only has to match the position if they are taking the place of someone in the starting 13.

a bench player is eligible to replace another bench player

Who would you get in first, DCE or McCullough?

Katoa is positionless in that example since he is interchange, thus is replaced with the highest ranked emergency.
