BE does apply when youre buying - coz it will determine future price movements & how much you’ll have to spend in the future for them..

BE just doesnt apply if they get a poor score one week & youre deciding whether to sell. If you are considering selling then then they aint a keeper

@mearcats I'd be interested in any suggestions.

I have McCullough and Lodge who appear urgent trade-outs this week. Not entirely sure which way to go.

Current Team:
Cook
Arrow Fifita
RFM Crichton JFH
DCE JMK
Hiku Isaako
Ponga Thompson Teddy

McCullough Rein Kikau Havili
Rochow Kennar Gosiewski Croker

$310k in the bank.

I find myself thinking about Origin and Bye schedules for the first time this week. That's the only thing giving me pause on going Macca to Smith. Was thinking maybe Murray coming in for Rochow.

Centres still a mess. But just progressively filling my final best 17.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Bit of a fall down the rankings with Harris and Dufty last week.

Thoughts on strengthening the forwards with (Harris and Surgess out this week) or the halves (with JMK starting). Looking at Dufty+Rochow > Fifi/Lolo OR Matterson/Mbye/Calker + a cheapie. Will just play Thompson until i can up him.

Cook
Arrow Surgess
RFM Kikau Murray
DCE JMK
Hiku Mitchell
Teddy Ponga Dufty

Smith Rochow JFH Harris
Thompson Kennar Gosie Su'a

If he puts up a 70 though I would much rather the points then saving a few K.

If he plays 80 every game he seems like one of those guys that can just find work. Could be wrong but can't turn ya nose up at a 40 in base stats

The Black Widow has another victim in his sights...

Is matterson still worth buying? Tossing up between him or dce for keeper half. I should have pulled trigger 2 weeks ago but I thought his scores were propped up with tries.. 65 tackles don't lie.

Smith

Murray RFM JFH

Ponga Thompson Tedesco

Cook rein kikau maloney
Rochow sau Kennar croker

Maybe Kelly to wing, Lewis Brown CTR for Manly? Idk

Can anyone see anything here?

Smith
Arrow, Kikau
RFM, Murray, JFH
DCE, Matterson
Aitken, Hiku
Ponga, Teddy, Walker

Cook, Havili, Maloney, Rochow
JMK, Thompson, Isaako, Gosie

69k in the bank and 25 trades left.

Cheers guys

Thompson (521)+ Rochow (497) + Bank (69) = 1.087M
(Havili is 474k if you'd rather keep Thompson = 1.04M)

You can grab Fifita and another base price cheapie and you'd have an incredible team. Definitely see the cheapie as a problem>

Alternately

Thompson to Dugan gets you keeper CTRs. You could then grab any cashie you like this week downgrading Rochow.

Just gotta wait for TLT to see whats available.

m.wright came on as a straight swap for parker when he got injured so its likely hes in the run on side now. they also have another wright somewhere waiting. shame because parker has looked decent with some strong carries.

not sure who takes wrights spot in the 17 though

Can anyone lend a hand here, can get Aitken in for Isaako but not sure if I need some moneymakers on the bench

Smith
Fifita, Arrow
Kikau, Murray, Taumalolo
Mbye, ARey
Isaako, Inglis
Tedesco, Ponga, JMK

Cook
JFH
RFM
Havili

Rochow
Gos
Croker
Kennar

Initial trades are 
Rochow - Uate
Isaako/Kennar - Aitken/Dugan

Any other directions? Potential I think to drop JMK into cash cow bench earner, move Mbye into WFB and bring in gun half

Teams starting to look very similar across the board.

Why I went for Mbye and ARey a few weeks back

Looking for a few punts to make up some ground now but don't think I can handle the CTR roulette each week so Dugan and Aitken are prime candidates

Is that correct?

JT 18KM???

Yeah he wasnt kicking at all. Maybe carrying injury?

SJ and Rochow out. Fifita and Dugan in.

Yeah, hasn't been kicking lately. Really frustrating because I've had to keep him all season so far and he's got 1 good score lol

Did you end up bringing in Curtis Scott? He was my number one Centre in Draft so hoping he'll come good.

Odd considering he was kicking goals, the reverse Smith injury perhaps lol

he scored well with zero KM, might grab him or Morgan

Grabbed him in FA in draft in L1 and debating whether I grab him for extra cash in fantasy or just go Dugan/Aitken

Also considering JT or Morgan because surely they get going soon enough, whats JT been like attacking?

Not much info on jbrom - foxs casualty ward says a few weeks. Medial knee injury
