I have been burning through too many trades to take a risk on someone with such limited job security.
Not sure he'll make enough cash to be worth it

The Stinking Vermin this week. Cartwright and Aubbs go next week. Needed Arrow and JFH.

Cook
Kikau, Arrow
Murray, Fitzgibbon, JFH
DCE, Cartwright
Inglis, Kennar
Ponga, Thompson, JMK

TPJ, McInnes, Rochow, McGuire

Havali, Douehie, Aubbs, Lolohea

Slim pickings but which of these 212k'ers are worth a punt? I need the extra few k for my evil plans mwah ha haaah

Green dot:
Dillon
Ellis
Fine
Egan

Injured:
Katoa

Any others likely to see some action? I'm happy to carry a red dot for a bit to make this happen

I think the first trade is solid. Doueihi would be great to hold but could wait weeks for ARey to go down properly. I so want to get Guth in, but I don't think I have the balls to do it this week. Props to you if you do though.

Any ideas with my team boys. This is pre trades with 9k bank. Is it good enough to save trades.

Cook
Arrow, Lodge
Jurbo, Murray, JFH
DCE, Maloney
Mitchell, Kennar
Tedesco, Ponga, Thompson

Griffin, RFM, Kikau, Rochow
L. Croker, Isaako, N. Brown, Doueihi

Cheers.

I have been following everyone too much! I need to make some ballsy picks and I think Goose looked good last week and he has been rewarded with the starting gig. With the spot open might mean he jags it for the year? Big body like Kikau so just needs the time and he will be a great cow. I also think king gutho will pick up where he left off and more. The eels are struggling and I think they will just give it to him and and say here ya go, score us a try, much like teddy did last year. I feel like taking a punt!!

Team would be

Cook (c)
Arrow Kikau
Jurbo Murray RFM
DCE Gutho
Mitchell Isaako
Ponga Turbo Thompson

CS9 Rochow Pangai Kennar

Havili Croker Goose Katoa

Isaako > Gosieski or save the trade?

Save the trades mate. Team is solid. Only thing I can think of is doui to a basement for the cash?

Have you thought about taking a punt on a dogs or broncos player that might get a game in round 17 due to Origin?

Thoughts on lodge and Griffin out for Fifita and JMK?
Or do I go for cherry or sj and a 212k guy to give my halves some stability?
My halves before the trade are Croker and Maloney.

I think that's the thing, we all get caught up and listen to each others advice and thoughts too much sometimes. Spending time here which is great and obviously helps our game but when you look at a player no one has brought up, you feel like it's the wrong move. At Gutho's price, there's nothing not to like.

I'm getting JFH to get on the bandwagon, but that's obviously from on here. I'm even thinking skip him and get Gossie instead for the extra coin.

Campbell Graham in the Rabbits reserves. Could be a late inclusion in the coming weeks. Had that wing spot before Rennings did.

I don't see the logic of getting Guth in this week. 43 BE 8 months out with injury. No Brown and Eels have little go forward and don't know if he's kicking which boosted his scores last season.

This probably isn't the week for bringing in a cheapie downgrade. I reckon if you can hold off a week or two more clearer options will emerge.

Unfortunately I feel I need to do something in my backs.. which means a downgrade somewhere.

As a sidenote and for what its worth, I've read that Kodi and Isaako been struggling a little with thigh injuries in the last couple weeks.

@WL I'd be saving trades mate. Team looks solid.

Guth is a wait and see for me as well. He is awesome though

Don’t get me wrong, I love all the advice on here! If it weren’t for you guys I’d be sitting at 40,000 rather than 470. I just feel like taking a leap of faith, plus I like seeing my halves as DCE and Gutho rather than Croker. I have a lot of FRF and 2RF coverage and although Lodge has been spectacular I don’t see him averageing more than 35-40 and he is currently priced at 34

Thinking DCE at Brookvale against the Tigers with Reynolds a bit rusty.
