Haha i remember being warned off him a month ago, think it was his 48 against the Raiders lol.

Turns out he was gold, who would have known. Been going great guns

I’m considering a straight swap, JFH > Terepo.

Or how about JFH and Kikau to Jurbo and Harris? Not bye friendly I know but it makes my team look good lol

ive pencilled in harris and tturbo and feel the same way. the value is good but the bye scoring is not. 

maybe a strategy is just to do two downgrades (fonua/brimson) and go crazy next week with 4 trades

He keeps delivering.

Nathan Brown was expected back weeks ago and assumption was Terepo would be the first affected. The Eels keep copping injuries to their forwards in general..

Yeah just keeps trucking. You'd be brave to bring him in now.

Jensen I like.

@Loomer @mickspicks Kikau is great, don't get me wrong. He's $50k up on JFH so more trade value. Plus, he relies on big plays to score well. JFH will net a few more price rises if he maintains 40+ and his scores are quite consistent. Each week I feel confident he'll nab 40s whereas I always worry Kikau will dish up a subpar performance. I will trade both, but Kikau is first to go as his jump to Fifita/Taupau is easier

My big regret points wise was bringing in A. Crichton instead of Arrow & playing Capewell over Martin. This cost 62 points & instead of 905 points I could of scored 967. Instead of dropping rank from 84 to 132 I probably would of increased my rank. Okay my pathetic self-loathing rant over.

Makes sense mate, especially for upgrades. I heard Fifi is really pushing for an Origin spot now. I can’t see Freddy picking him but be wary.

Terepo has been playing prop. If Brown comes back, Ma’u slots to 2RF, Beau Scott to bench. I can’t see how that impacts Terepo’s minutes. But I do like Jensen also.

You may be right, not a risk I wanna take at this point. I'd rather go Watson

Fair enough! It’s definitely a gamble. Also FYI everyone: I forgot Beau Scott did his ACL

Honey Badger wrote:

Ive stayed away from Watson for that very reason but does his RM make up for the lack of KM. Not too many halves make over 100 RM

A little. I think a combined RM/KM getting you 10-11 points is still pretty low. Last four years there hasn't been a half averaging more than 45 with less than 15 points from KM+RM. DCE last year is the closest with a 49 ave and 16.5 points a game from RM+KM. It is a little bit unfair a comparison because all those running metres lead to other things like TBs while KMs just produce KMs. Still I could easily see those stats drying up a bit and even at 45 points a game I don't really see him being worth it.

Looking at options for trading out Lamb and Sorenson.

What an absolute dumpster fire below 300k. Piss poor

If its purely a cashout, just wait a week and grab a cheapie covering origin

I'm looking at downgrading Koro to Brimson for the $$$... then a couple upgrades next week

Didn't trade last week expecting to upgrade this week but I am not sure who I want to upgrade. Like a lot of people I have Kikau, JFH, RFM, Havili and JMK waiting to be upgraded but I am unsure who to upgrade to who. I do want Harris in my team and I have JMK in my WFB position but Teddy is the only real standout to upgrade to there but I kind of want to wait until after Origin for that. Who knows.

Bringing in Crichton over Arrow made sense, just turns out Arrow is a machine!

Yeah im looking at one origin cashout. Prob Lomax if Aiken picked or katoa if he gets named

Milchcow wrote:

Yeah guess that's the way to go. No trades this week.

Unless I want to upgrade RFM.

Have - JFH, kikau, soro, lamb and possibly RFM to deal with.. Arrow coming back in is one trade not sure on the other. Jensen/TMM possibly
