Pay made changes to get a better result
Bulldogs won...
JMK played ok

I don't see why Pay would change it

Got 817 over the weekend, with the JMK trade team would be

CS9
Arrow Lodge
Jurbo Murray RFM
Doui DCE
Isaako Mitchell
Ponga Turbo Thompson

Cook TPJ(pending injury) Kennar Kikau

JMK Croker Havili Carty

65K ITB

Looks like I picked most of the good cows who are all making money and BE's looking good. In 3 or 4 weeks time they should catch up to them and I can sell them for top dollar. Well that's the plan at least. I have been lucky not to be struck by the injury bug so far. *Touch Wood*

Fed up with Carty, thinking of doing Carty>JMK. Then starting him or Croker with Doueihi

Could bring in Matterson for someone like Griffin. Levi getting named on the bench will concern me, I think he only steals more minutes moving forward. Too many cows making too much cash to sell... thoughts?

Smith
Arrow Lodge
Brown Murray Harris
Doueihihi Carty
Hiku Mitchell
Teddy Ponga Dufty

Cook Griffin RFM Kikau
Rochow Thompson Kennar Croker

847 last week, 1k ITB

Is Merrin actually out?
Would make my trades easy this week.

Merrin>Murray.
Croker> RFM

I assume RFM is worthy of a bench spot ? People expecting him to maintain his high 40s average?

There wasn't any mention about Merrin during the game I thought. Didn't see him injured?

I'm actually thinking about trading in Rochow. Am I crazy? His minutes are massive and his spot looks secure.

Is Dufty also worth trading in? I know he won't do that every week but very dangerous.

I can't see any urgent trades... both Carty and Griffin still have money to make.
You can bring in JMK for Carty for a cash grab, but conserving trades might be more valuable for you in the long run

Emergency:
L.Sao, S. Havili, J.Isaako, L.Latu

How much cash in the bank?

Looks like you got all the cows except Benji Jr. so far, but you're very back heavy as it is. Generally better to have a bench loaded with forwards instead of backs.

Guys I'd be looking to get rid of would be Croft for some cash. Latu seems like a failed cow and Sao might be aswell if not starting.

No Cook in your side, and he's still priced pretty well at 656k. Murray another cut-priced gun potentially at 567k.

Not sure what to do with TPJ, probably hold and just roll with Lodge and Kikau in FR for now.

If Stimson could get one of those starting edge spots at the storm he would be interesting

also has the time to get arrow gone? He is the only possible trade out for SST that I could do this week

I agree with WT


2 of Croft, Latu and Sao out

2 of Cook, Murray, JMK in

whatever you can afford

810 moved up to 1.4k rank. Anyone know how I can view my rank from previous rounds?

Arrow priced 32 averaging 41. Which is about where i see him staying. Not a keeper though so i wouldnt think hes worth the trade in.

If Merrin is out, trading to Matterson and getting Carty into my EMG is gonna be done.

Chris garry just tweeted TPJ and Oates definitely out this week, 1-2 weeks out for both

Thanks! I only have 26k in the bank so I'll see who of those I can afford. I think Latu is more of a priority over Sao to drop at the moment because he seems to be just hemorrhaging cash.

Talk out of Penrith is that Jarome Luai could make his debut for the Panthers against the Cowboys this week as cover for Nathan Cleary. Tyrone May another month away recovering from ACL. Via Michael Chammas

Sitting 3rd in the NRL Fantasy Fanatics Overall so if anyone wants any tips then give me a yell haha

Nice work. I only manage scores that well by luck. I'll take you up on that offer if it's still going? I only managed 800+ because Dufty played well

I have f all guns which doesn't help and my cows aren't the greatest cash generators.

Cook (c)
TPJ Arrow
Brown (vc) Murray Griffin
Doueihi Carty
Mitchell Isaako
Rapana Ponga Dufty

NAS Kikau RFM Lichaa
Lodge Rochow Thompson Evans

$375k ITB

I'm thinking:
Lichaa -> JMK (or another cow)
Evans -> Harris (value) or Friend/Macca (points)

Centres and Halves are weak but I'd rather strengthen other areas first, then aim to pick up SJ types later on

Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

I'm going to hold TPJ I think.

I can try this loophole business now

Those trades look fine.  Harris is one I wanted to start with but went Whitehead instead which is all good.  I think Lichaa and Evans are the two you need to toss.  Your depth is awesome and I love your back 3.  You happy to hold TPJ mate?

my tv broke wrote:Chris garry just tweeted TPJ and Oates definitely out this week, 1-2 weeks out for both

Broncos play late in the round next 2 weeks, so TPJ is a potential loop enabler for those that want to keep him.

Still has cash to make, but probably not a final 17 player, so can trade out if a good replacement is available
