Who is the upvote and who is the downvote?

TPJ upvote and Rochow downvote?

If Maloney is going to be a half backup? Already have JMK as well. Is it worth bringing him in? I Carty ends up starting is it better to save the trade for another day?

Haha, was just about to make a Bride of Chucky joke. Too quick for me...that's what you're Missus will be saying to you as well tonight

Congratulations mate and I can confirm for the other Fanatics that Chucky is well and truly punching above his weight. She goes alright!

Is there anyones missus that you don't have a crush on?

Right so there was a small section that mentioned if you have two decent halves he isn't a must have (Walker and DCE). I dont wanna miss out on the money though. Would you still flick Carty and grab him?

With your halves I'd never play Maloney as a starter. That's at least some part of the appeal to trade him in.

You have a lot more freedom to look at other guys like JFH, Cotric, JMK (slightly cheaper), Murray, Arrow, Macca or any other cow/gun that takes your fancy.

Way I see it. Worst case - Maloney makes 50k and was a miserable failure as a starting half. Best case - he jags another huge game with some respectable scores and we ride him to a 250k gain with good scores in my halves.

Realistically I think he makes around 125k. Is that worth a trade to you?

It is to me because he fixes a hole in my side as well and if he flames I don't think Carty or Croker are really going to do any better.

If this is true, Cotric is a MUST HAVE!!

Why? He's underpriced for sure at FB but must have?

My question was legit. Part of me still wants to run with SJ despite the majority vote for DCE.

my question was also legit

Damn that trade of Cotric a few weeks ago seems to just keep coming back to haunt me. May have to trade him back in if Wighton truly is given the flick.

Nah i gotta agree with the stormtrooper. A tacklebreaking fullback who you can play as a centre who is NOT Dugan. Even one that plays for the Raiders, he will be straight in my team before he scores a 70 and jumps price bracket. Kid is a gun through and through, glad he had a "quiet" 40 last night

I reckon you've answered your own question. An underpriced fullback that you can play at C in fantasy... If he's got the fullback gig, he's in my team for sure. I just gotta ru some numbers to figure out when's the best time to grab him cause he's had some funky scores this year!

Maybe not a must have but I'd consider him a great buy and season keeper if he plays FB full time. He just needs ball to score points, which he gets fuck all of at present on the wing. Quiet game last night, and first game at FB, and scored 40 points..

Yeah people need to rememeber the make-up of your side has to come into it.

Telling people not to make a trade without objectively looking at the make-up of their team.

I made the mistake this year of going light in the halves and picking the wrong mid-range centres (in retrospect I could've stuck with Hiku over Hayne and be doing a lot better).

Cotric actually getting his hands on the ball instead of starving outside of Croker the ball-hog

Two words. Plus an emoji.

Maloney. Bahahaha

So much avatar action happening this morning! You and Chewie met up to do some pod racing commentary?

It's the perfect day to freshen up your avatar...

...and that stormtrooper avatar is fake news... does that even look like me???

If your employer is on the forum I understand your unwullingness to be associated with illicit drugs and a Storm Trooper, but do the Rebel Alliance really play NRL Fantasy?

What bet have I made now under the influence?

Peachey's score for this week. If he scores more then 35 you get to choose my avatar for a week. If he scores less I get to choose yours for a week.

You’re fucked.

All depends on the make up of your team 

I'm working towards getting enough guns in round 13...

For me Whitehead will be upgraded to Fifita (who is a gun playing round 13)
And Harris who is close to peaking will probably be downgraded to a good scoring cow what plays round 13 like Rochow

Thanks Chewie and @Rippin n tearin

Much appreciated information! I am sort of getting my head around how to actually get the optimum amount of guns in my team and when to trade players etc. I have 108K ITB and I don't really fancy spending that for an upgrade any time soon. I think my team is pretty well good and travelling okay for a few weeks until the cows peak. It's just a bit confusing as to when and who to trade and whether I do a double trade, trade a middy and a cow to a gun and a Basement player or trade two middies to a gun and a cow/middy. All so hard to pick.

Trading is in my blood... and this forum has been a good company after Han became one with the Force

Pretty sure the line was 35. Can't be bothered trying to find the quote. Will just run with it.
