In the interest of fair play and cos I was already half way through it, I'll do my best anyways Rabs, take it with a grain of salt.

I like the hooker combo, ballsy not to do Smith but no one has ever accused you of being anything but so it makes sense.

Good to see someone running with Easy E. I'm not personally sold on Moose (and I'm a Broncs fan so that's saying something). Any room to move there? It's certainly not a pressing issue and he can definitely sit but if you wanted to then you could offload him to free up some cash. Some good options out there that would allow you to do so. Tamou (tho missing the DPP) TPJ or even big Nelson.

2RF and HLF are solid, wouldn't change a thing.

As you've already identified, CTR/WFB are where you are hurting. I'd have to agree that Aubbs is probably you're best bet regarding someone to offload or alternatively Lolohea. If you're set on a DPP player you could do worse than Masters or SMat or alternatively go with a DPP CTR/WFB which at least allows you some cover that you are lacking in that position. Fergusson seems to be the Roosters attacking choice or if you can stretch it, Hoppa.

How sure are you on JMK that you are prepared to use a trade on him? I started the season with him (knew nothing about him but he was on a team list and basement price DPP) but his job security must be questionable.

Havili and Godinet are tying up space on your bench that could be used for money making. Maybe it's time to cut your losses, jump on someone like Robinson etc that can garner you some quick coin and work from there.

Just a thought mate.

You’re right. I won’t listen to anybody really. I give the responses a cursory glance, scoff, then move on. For the record Mearsy, I don’t do downvotes for a very simple reason. Whoever you hit with a downvote, the recipient actually receives two upvotes. I brought that in when they made me an undercover mod.

A downvote once equated to 5 upvotes or something ridiculous, but now it is back to doing nothing (with regards to reputation score at least. I'm sure downvoters can still feel superior for a few seconds after pressing the button)

I don't often follow advice on the forum, preferring to make my own decisions, but like asking questions because sometimes it makes me consider things I haven't thought of.

Worth a thought, but I dunno, I think the Bonzos are about to get belted on a weekly basis. Last week was their grand final. All I can see Isaako doing is looking at his boots while the other team is taking conversations.

Have gone with:
Leilua > RTS for a huge upgrade on a guy about to lose money. WFBs are now RTS, Rapana, Ponga
Crichton > Murray to save $300k for hopefully similar scores and cash increases instead of decreases.

Now plan to sit on my trades for a few weeks, while my cash cows increase in value each week.

Sitting in 69th overall just 55 points behind 1st. Feeling like this is my week after some unfortunate performances last week (Rochow, BJ, Kikau, Taupau playing 35 minutes when on fire) that killed my chances of taking the lead.

The whole team is looking very strong and feeling good about my chances from here.

Id keep Dufty until Reynolds back and then you will be forced to bring in a half.
Dufty has potential but isnt a fanhub fav and with hunt and widdop doesnt get much ball playing opportunities

Cheers mate - I reckon you're on the money about Jayne there. Will hold on to Havili and Carty until they top out, and keep they faith with GI a little longer. Shame. I really liked GI Jayne as a old-school combo.
