I have all of those except Murray, who is another I am watching to see if he improves. Matterson is in my halves until Johnson and/or Cleary are less broken.
Or maybe I should just go DCE instead

Haha yeah DCE is on my radar for when Maloney peaks. I already have Fifita and Mitchell in my team so clearly I've moved past the "don't trade in players you don't like."

Fifita pencilled in atm, is there anyone else you would look at around that price?

I am stoked I picked Martin, but a bit Salty he is in my EMG >.< 3/132 is alright considering they all hit above expectation (isaako, TPJ) RFM was around what I expect.

McCullough in a couple weeks time.

I reckon he's closer to fairly priced but is there more value in going guys like Brown or even Gallen? (When they are back ofc) Or even sticking with RFM/Muray.

As an example of a low 2RFs strat would be to have Arrow at Prop with a 2RF of JTurbo, ??? and ??? with a bench of Cook, Macca, Cleary and Matterson. I think JTurbo is a cut above the rest but any 2 of the remaining guys won't matter too much.

In saying that if you like Chricton I'd buy him now and get set for his big game. He's certainly passing the eye test even if his scores aren't reflecting that.

I just traded Brown out for Martin, which provided the cash for Gosie to become someone like Crichton next week. Gall might be on the radar as Rd 13 gets closer depending how things go. Open to bringing Brown back if it makes sense though, but still some weeks away for those guys.

Just looking at some projections for next week,

If Taumalolo hits his average ~54, he's priced 840k, a 56 average next week.

If Crichton hits his average ~52, he's priced at 772k, a 52 average next week.

So Crichton would indeed be priced accordingly whatever he scores this week it seems, but just needs a couple of attacking stats every few games and he should bump up. Averaged 60 last year with a few sub 60 min games early in the season.

With all the TBs he racks up, there's bound to be a linebreak/try every now and then.

Too bring in this week I should have mentioned

Former? He's averaging 51.5.. good enough for me to still consider him a gun.

Around 36 tackles, 127 run metres, 3 TBs and an offload per game. 60 points worth of output there and copping about -10 in negatives on average.

Plays Rd 13, and I'm super short on Rd 13 players.. 6 if Cook somehow misses origin selection.

Wow that is going to be a painful round for you. I currently have 14.

JTurbo, Macca, DCE, Chricton, Lolo, Tohu, Smith. Assume you have Arrow and Cook.

Some of these guys - Macca and Tohu have some cash to lose for a few weeks.

In order of the rest

Smith, Fifita, DCE, JTurbo, Chricton, Lolo.

Haha yep, focusing more on H2H still screwed me for the byes this year, even though they're a lot friendlier for H2H players this time around.

6 currently counting Cook.. 7 trades I believe between now and Rd 13? Maximum of 13 for Rd 13, but I'm looking to bring in a CTR that isn't playing Rd 13, so I'll have a max of 12, or 11 without Cook.

Could put up something decent if I stick to that plan, and hopefully can make up some ground Rd 17.

Have DCE and Smith from that list, and yeah Arrow and Cook since the start. Atm I've added Fifita to it. Just wonderin if he is the best option this week

Isaac Luke is highly unlikely to suit up this weekend against the tigers

Short of even more injuries, I plan to only make 2 trades through to round 12 and only 2 leading into round 13. Finally get to save some, now that I have a stack of guys ready for the first bye round and a reasonable team.

Sharks forward Jayson Bukuya is in doubt or Saturday night's clash against Parramatta after being hospitalised with a virus. Coach Shane Flanagan on Friday rated Bukuya "a 50-50 chance" of lining up against the Eels. Co-captain Wade Graham ran at the captain's run on Friday as he looks to return from a hamstring injury and will play provided he does not pull up sore on Saturday.

Maybe Manners if he gets his old position back

Didn't know Gavet was born in Aus.

Yeah injuries already cost me Brown, so bringing Crichton in is just replacing him.

Think I had a math fail on 7 trades between Rd 10 and 13, should be 9 assuming we get 3 before Rd 13.

Could have as many as 15 counting Cook. More than likely 13 minus injuries.

I'm targeting to have 11 or 12 for round 13. That would include a couple of cows who might score crap. Scoring 500 to 600 in total
