Since round 8 his highest score was 45 so I'm not confident he can match his b/e even with 80 minutes.

Not worries about minutes. Dogs can't afford to not have RFM on the field.

Yeah my comment re minutes is just in relation to his injury, and with a bye following. Any niggle and he may be rested. But its all speccy. He could well play 80 and get a 55+

Guths origin chances are pretty slim surely.

Pretty sure Fonua and Guth will be my last punts before full cashouts are required.

Remember that there is a week off between 15 + 16, on top of a bye in 13 or 17.

So in the next 7 weeks every one plays at most 5 games. And a 3 week injury might only cover one NRL game

Thoughts please?

Kikau to Kapow
Or
JFH to Kapow

@Mearcats thanks for the reply legend!

I feel like i should be heeding this, is there something here for everyone, in code ?

Have ended up doing the below, some wont get the RFM dump but its a gamble.

JAC - Taupau
RFM - Hetherington

Now 379k itb, next week is going to be fun shopping with this kick starter plus 4 trades. I dont plan on taking the safe passage.

Think I'm just bringing Arrow back in for Kikau this week and maybe no trades next week lol apart from maybe Gosi if he doesn't look like getting a look in. JFH to Harris for round 14 is a lock. Think my team is shaping up nicely at this stage

15 trades 69k cash

Cook
Fifita TPJ
Taumalolo Arrow Murray
DCE ARey
Mitchell Isaako
Tedesco Ponga Mbye

Smith
Matterson
JFH
Sua

Martin
Lane
Brimson
Gosiewski

Hi guys, I'm struggling with a couple of hits here, and around really appreciate any advice. 15 trades, 357 ITB.

Cook Smith Havili
TPJ Fifita Kikau
Martin Murray Tolo JFH Goosie
RyMatt Koro JT Lamb
CScott Bird Isaako
Ponga Teddy JMK

I know I'm going to need at least one center this week. And, .....we'll, some CTR/WFB concert would be nice.

Thoughts?

You may as well keep JT for Round 13 if you’ve stuck with him this long. Bird should be nowhere near your team so I’d trade him for someone like Brimson or Cogger. You could take a gamble even and bring in Fonua for him.

I just thought I should post it, as I was thinking about Josh Morris and his 8 week injury, which will only be 6 games of NRL.

Think I might join the Tohu train this week. In for Kikau, RFM or Havili.

Then try and turn one of the others into JTrbo shortly after

With the amount of trades you have left I'd just use 1 trade & get a ctr. Isaako up against the Eels I think it's a good game for him & JMK has a good game as well up against Wests. I'd trade Lamb & buy Fonua who I think will get dpp.

DarkKnight wrote:Was going to bring in Taupau but think it is perhaps best to leave until next week. He is the type to get a suspension just before a bye round.

Who's place does he take in your team if you trade him in this week?

Hard to ignore this week, if you're going to get him next week anyway.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I don't necessarily need him but I do fear him busting an 85.

I still have Maloney and its questionable whether he's worth keeping another week, but I'm hesitant on DCE as I reckon he is a reasonable shot at playing origin.

I’ve gone Kikau to tofu but might reverse this week and get in someone else. Tohu has bye next week and with a BE of 39 he will need to score 60+ to make any real cash. Murray is same price and his BE of 48 is achievable so after RD 13 Murray to tohu should be just about a straight swap

Most Murray owners are looking to sell, and you want to bring him in for 2 weeks?
To get an extra 30-40 points, and cost yourself a bit of cash. If Murray plays off the bench, and Tohu doesn't get injured, the cash difference between them will grow in the next 2 weeks.

So basically ruling out overall?

A non 13 followed by an origin trade

Team for this week after trades (Lamb/Soro > Fonua/Guth). 16 remaining and 90k in the bank.

Cook
Fifita, Arrow
Taumalolo, RFM, JFH
DCE, Matterson
Aitken, Hiku
Ponga, Teddy, Walker

Smith, Kikau, Havili, Murray
Gutherson, Fonua, Martin, Brimson

Definitely gonna make some wrong choices in the 17 player wise.

I think only trade I need to make this week is Gosi>Fonua. Even though Gosi possibly back for 13 could be bench only

captain cook again, or fifita against the knights?
