Cant pass up Tolo at that price but Surgess was my other contender, I assume he gets DPP after TLT?

I wouldnt worry too much about that MB. Banking trades is more important i feel with the smaller squads(coming from the guy with one of the shittest team values in the top 100). Some have struggled to get a full 17 in the early rounds. Usually this happens much later in the game and happens every year. When the gun people have upgraded with that 300k go down near the end and they cant trade them out they are useless. Long way to go but i really wouldnt be worried with your team value, you are in a great position and are a seasoned player. Follow your gut and good luck. You are off to a great start

I don’t think he’ll get a month of starting but it would be awesome if he did for being so cheap

Who do you think will be the winner fantasy wise from the Sharks?

Capewell, i think hes 350k and if he starts second row with gal out 4 weeks should be the winner

Only two games last year but when starting at second row he had an average of 43. Can't forget his game at centre during the byes where he scored 106

Cheers lads, can only hope

If Surgess gets DPP it might swing it in his favour over Tolo. But seriously, we all know what Tolo can do when he gets going.

Buyuka. Back this week. Will probably start at lock with Capewell starting. But if Gal is only 2 weeks away with Graham they’ll both be starting and I think Buyuka would start ahead of Capewell.

Prior and Ava will start props so I think the winner will be Dillon, Uele or Magoulias

Sua with a BE of -8
Maloney with a BE of -6

Can't really turn down Sua can we?

Valar morghulis?

Feck. 710 for the round and dropped 2000 spots overall to almost 3000. Back to suicide for old Gill.

Nope. Trades for most will be very similar. Cash out Griffin for Sua and upgrade Lodge to a gun. Big question which gun player to bring in?

Lodge has been carrying the rib injury for a few weeks - may explain his slighly lower mins/output.

I'm ditching AFB this week to a Sua/Gosie mid range cashy/bench fill in, and upgrading Griffen. Leaves around $810 to play with, will probably go Surgess if he get DPP, props are tricky this season and with Fifita out, he'll probably be top dog soon.

If I wen't Gosie, I could grab Cam Smith..

I'm burning trades, but have not lost cash on any of them so far, will hopefully start banking a few over the next month.

Pretty much my exact trades, at least the first one is certain.

If Bird is 6 again, I may have a pressing issue to trade Niko out. Niko is probably living on borrowed time anyway (in real life as well as in my fantasy team).

I do still have inglis but i think ill just leave him there for now. Hopefully he got some confidence out of last week and can have some decent scoring games soon. Otherwise, oh well. I expect 25s at this point anyway

Capewell might be ok for 1 or 2 rounds if Graham and Gallen both out and if Buyuka isnt back. Then if there is an injury to an outside back during the game he'll be the one to move out to centre or wing. Not worth a trade IMO

Not saying you are wrong, you are right, but I don't think people should be basing their trades based on another player getting injured or not.

Will be interesting to see if bird stays at 6 and what they do with Niko. They'll prob name Niko at 7 then do a late switch to the bench come game day

Think there will be some spanners in the works there.

Sure Sua looks the good and Griffin has a BE near his average but the same can be said of Lodge and Rochow. Lodge doesn't play 13 so may be an earlier tradeout.

Throw in the many injuries such as Murray, Fifita and other injury concerns (Gallen, Graham, Mansour, Whare, SST) and you've got some teamlist spots up for grabs for cheap cashouts.

Basing the money on 17 players at an average of 800k = 13.6M. The top team has 12.97M + any cash ITB so teams are getting close to those numbers but the average will be a fair way lower with most early season cows peaking or very close.

"Most" will have the money to go to a gun but "most" teams are still a long way from enough money for a gun team. Two good cash cows with respectable scoring could be tempting to some people.

I'll likely go 2 cows this week.
