I have seen them given so often though. It's just another inconsistency.

Thats fair.

Marsters is unreal.

His price will be now too.. Getting up near 600k. Another potential gun CTR out of my reach.

Was tossing up between him and Dugan this week and went Dugan, mainly just because he's the more established player. Should have gone with the cheaper Marsters

wolfking wrote:Marsters is unreal.

I really want him too. Mostly just because I really like him. Too many players I'm considering this week!

He copped a bit of a knock in the first half I think.

He's scoring well though. I always forget he's in my team.

Hmmm cheers guys...

Impressed with Kaysa today.

This weeks trades are going to be pretty tough

Who are all the big injuries this week?

Finished with 923, up to 301 in the rankings (from 600 pre-round and ~5000 4 weeks ago). Rochow>Murray trade didn't achieve anything yet, hopefully Murray gets going again next week. Havili>Aubs even worse. Gulp.

Got Gos & Croker to deal with, bit of a spanner in the bye-planning works. Fonau likely to have any JS after that performance?

Worth going Thompson to Marsters via Dugan? Or have I made my bed and need to lie in it?

Bloody tempting. But yeah I feel like we've missed the trick there.

Dunno about big, but..

Luke, McGuire, Kennar, Croker, Gosiewksi, Glasby, Edwards.

Dugan (?), Sorenson (?), Arrow (?)

Only own the question marks and oh Gossy. But he's a EME trooper.

That doesn't bloody help

Hello again lads, was just looking at that here https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-casualty-ward-latest-injury-updates-from-round-8-and-injured-players-for-all-16-teams/news-story/1e6d108c0efa917346edc608f30cbfe3?nk=c316575917e21ada4aa18d4ac298ed15-1524990285

INJURIES IN ROUND 8
Issac Luke — Knee — TBC
Curtis Scott — Ankle — 1-2 weeks
Tim Glasby — Broken thumb — 4-6 weeks
Josh McGuire — Ankle — 4-6 weeks
Richie Kennar — Foot — TBC
Lachlan Croker — Knee — Season
Matthew Wright — Concussion — TBC
Jack Gosiewski — Hand — 5 weeks
Dylan Edwards — Shoulder — TBC
Jed Cartwright — Leg — TBC
Johnathan Wright – Wrist – TBC
Jai Arrow – Back – Round 9
Scott Sorensen – Concussion - TBC
Josh Dugan – Foot - TBC

damn, thought i had a great round with 880, but i moved up like 2 spots overall so apparently everyone else did too... trade outs are Jetski & Isaako, preliminary trades are Cogger & Fifita/Tolo, but if Dugan sits this week i'll bring Mitchell in instead, touch wood Cogger is the last cow i need, will have him, Su'A, Soro, Rein, Havili, Maloney, JFH, RFM & Kikau bringing in money and i should only need 450k at most, unless a trade-in target goes bananas, to do everything i want to, if i can get at least 50k more from each of those 9, i'm good as gold

I forgot about CScott's injury. Probably another reason why Welch played big minutes in addition to the Glasby injury.

21 Tony Williams (Knee, TBC)

Live score of 43 before the last game. Had zero players in last game. Went to 53. Can’t believe only dropped 10 spots with zero players.

No trades for me this week. Unless I can find a reasonable option to bring Taupau in.

I dropped to 65th so 20 odd places. My PODs of Aitken and Walker didn't do the job

So a third of the way through the season, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at. Ranked 225, got 24 trades and 160k in the bank.
Currently I've got 10 players who I'd consider keepers:
Cook
Smith
Arrow
Murray
SJ
DCE
Mitchell
Dugan
Tedesco
Ponga

Then another 3 players who are marginal final 18:
Kikau
JFH
RFM

And 8 players who need to be upgraded/downgraded
Griffin
Maloney
Thompson
Havili
Su'a
Sorensen
Isaako
Kennar

Before price changes, those 8 are valued at $3.6mil.
5 guns and 3 cashies will cost me about $4.6mil, so I still need another million or so in price rises to achieve that. My current 8 tradeouts have about $500k still to make between them leaving another $500k to make. At $150k per cash cow, I'll need an extra 4 trades on top of the current 8, for a total of 12.
That leaves 12 trades for injuries, byes, and form.
