hmmm.. I could:

A) deal with the fact I have maloney/inglis/isaako in my 13 and no cover, or

B) use one trade to go someone like griffin to fifita.. and then whinge about those three above again next week

I don't have Inglis but I do play L. Croker in my starters. 100% choose B so I have people to complain with Although I'm liking Maloney so I'll likely just blast Croker

I'm short on cash for a straight Isaako > JFH trade.
I do have the money to do Kennar > JFH.

Just have to ask who I value more as CTR/WFB cover.

Is it worth the trade?

I'd probably trade Isaako before Havili regardless of cover. Havilli I think will see really good minutes now after last week. Isaako, it's just hard to see where his points are going to come from.

@Liverpool_dog Probably the strongest team you could field without Macca. I'd probably relax, maybe bring in JFH for shits and gigs

@danseels1985 Griffin to Aitken is good if he's going to be in your final 17. But like you said, Kennar back means its not urgent. I've gone Griffin to JFH for the money and points

I love sports in general, huge rugby fan, love cricket, NFL, NBA etc etc. BUT, when the Warriors are playing well and having fun, they are one of my favourite teams to watch, period.

One of my best sporting memories was when I was a poor student spending a bit of time in Blacktown, 2002 (working the rides at Australia's wonderland of all places), and Vodafone (I think it was), and subsequently Eric Watson put up 20,000 free tickets for Kiwi passport holders to the preliminary final between the Warriors and the Sharks. We got tickets and went to that game. It was Amazing!! Kiwi fans everyweher, outnumbered the Ozzies by 2:1 it felt like. There were really fun guys to watch in that Warriors team like Stacey Jones, Ali Lauiti'iti, Jerry Seu Seu, Clinton Toopi, Richard Viliiisanti, Francis Meli, PJ Marsh the list goes on...

Mostly they were great to watch cause they just looked like they were having such fun playing.

I can see that in this years team again, I think for the first time since then! Long may it continue!

Currently got no money in the bank, and this team:

Smith,
Arrow, Lodge
Murray, Rochow, Griffin
DCE, SJ
Mitchell, Hiku
Teddy, Ponga, Thompson

Cook, RFM, Kikau, Maloney

Havili, Isaako, Doueihi, Kennar


Am thinking of Doueihi and Isaako to JFH and ??? (242k max - probably Reece Robinson). Or should I just go Griffin to JFH and save the other trade (and hope Doueihi gets more gametime)?

My emergency's all have question marks - GI, Douehi, Croker and Nicholls. But there is no point shifting anyone because I have no injuries and no one is losing $$, except maybe GI.

My squad is looking solid, although Maloney is there (will upgrade in a couple weeks ATM), Mitchell and AFB are questionable also. A bit too up and down, will give them another week or 2.

Moving Griffen too JFH, think this will be a very popular trade this week. Cash in the hand, and more potential vs a guy who has peaked and has Levi back on the bench to steal some minutes.

Never. The Holmes at fullback experiment was a failure. Katoa only comes back in if they drop Feki which I don't see happening

With the lack of attack in the Sharks back line I expect a bit of a shake up this week

@Rippin and Tearing 100% the same! I Iove a lot of sports but the Warriors are my hands down favorite to watch. Let's hope the put up 20,000 tickets again when they're in the finals lol

Hehe, thats one of the reasons I rushed SJ in when he was still under an injury cloud. I wanted a Warrior in my team!

I have Maloney and Inglis in my 17, not too concerned right now. My scoring has actually picked up th epast 2 weeks.

I think my plan this year is going to be disregard byes for the most part. Just trade hard and get as good a 17 together by round 10 or so, then just hope that I don't lose too much on the bye rounds.

By which logic, I might look at Gallen as an option.

I have JFH as my first trade in today, but I wonder how long he'll stay at lock and if Merrin will come back there.
Merrin of course being a prime example of why people should ignore "player fittest he's ever been/training the house down" articles every pre-season

Doueihi will certainly start losing money soon if he doesn't get a starting spot.

I have 108K itb which isn't really enough money to be trading up to a gun unless I look at players who are performing really well with money still to make, so really I can only trade an underperforming mid ranger for a up and coming performing mid ranger set to make some money (ie JFH) or I can trade a cow to the likes of JFH but leaving next to no money ITB but this just makes me uncomfortable. is it okay to have little money ITB?

This is my team

Cook
NAS Fifita
Murray, Arrow, RFM
Maloney, Townsend
Aitken, Mitchell
Thompson, Dufty, Ponga

Lichaa, Rochow, Kikau, JFH

Lodge, Griffin, Kennar, Doughie

Already used one trade this week have 26k left.

Any glaring issues? Thinking of trading NAS to a rookie

Well just checked BEs. Trading Kennar now would be silly if he's named.

Can't see anything glaring bud, maybe just Douehis dwindling role. But apart from that looks good

i dont think having little money is too big a problem as a number of players are approaching milking time in the coming weeks griffin/rfm/rochow/lodge/kikau. 600k (40p avg) seems to be a rough target. can definitely turn two of these into a gun+cow combo. only problem is not many cows. 

robinson,gosiweski maybe terepo look ok considering the first bye but they all come with question marks.
