Has to be. There's no other reason for it.

I don't like the idea of trading too much this week with origin, test games plus the uncertainty on the Denver test too. Could burn trades and who knows what will happen in 2 weeks time. I much prefer keeping a few up my sleeve and trading 4 times in round 17.

Saying that, I have 14 and just realised that there is only 25 rounds this year!! Could burn a couple this week.

Koro injury giving me headaches.
Don't want to have to cashout Fonua or someone just to afford an SJ.
Might have to swap to Milford simply because he's within range and only costs one trade that way.
I just want my Matterson back, but doing that will have cost me 2 trades for no gain. What a disaster.

Mannering not going Denver

Edit: Wtf, MTB too fast for me

I'm glad I held onto RFM

So has Packer and Matulino

I am 1K short on Murray to McInnes in a single trade, get fucked!!

How did MBYE play yesterday? I didn't see the game, but a return of 62 points, very happy that I kept the faith. Cheers

plannd trades are Kikau -> Brown, MCK -> Johnson, leaves me with 72k, 6 trades and one final upgrade (Su'A to Taupau) for my final team, hopefully one or both of Martin or Tuala can pull their finger out to get the cash needed for me

Macca owners, are we keeping him? He's lacking that tackle enthusiasm from last year.

I missed it aswell mate, but happy I held also. Hoping he stays at the Dogs for the year out, looking like a good keeper at the back once again.

We've known about having 4 trades this week since the comp opened, why are people surprised about it now.

It is 'required' in order to allow people to try and field decent teams in round 17 due to the way the byes work this year

Supercoach is about to have a 5 trade week for the same reason.


I guess it would have made more sense to have the extra trades next week, when the rep games are on (this is what supercoach are doing), rather than having them this week which seems a bit random.

The only player I want to trade is JFH who plays 17 which my numbers suck. Are people holding him??

Murray I think still has some value, but could be upgraded to Brown.

I think it was intentional to give people a chance to roll over their round 13 team to a round 17 team if they've been savvy with trades so far. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time.

Edit: What the cow said.

There are some juicey options this week.. Surgess under $600 is nuts, I have him unfortunately. Hunt is in the same boat, will think about him after origin. Sort of hope he gets dropped haha! Not a bad 18th man/benchy.

Will probably trade no one, unless Coggs is dropped.

What kind of scores are people expecting from LBrown? His missed tackle rate doesn't inspire confidence. Or is it purely a cash-out?

Can MAX trade this week leaving me a team pretty close to the one I want for Rd17 with 6 trades left for run home. At this rate ill have (bolded players in rd 17)

Only concern is im 100% certain ive spread myself thin. And will get fucked down the line. Sitting inside top 100 fairly consistent for the year, so luck is bound to end.

Cook
Fifita, Alvaro
Tolo, Taupau, Jurbo
SJ, DCE
JCroker, Aitken
Tedy, Ponga, Hiku

Smith, Harris, Havili, Mcinnes
Martin, 212,212,212

People are actually trading in Brown?

Do you also have Maubbs and Dugan in your teams?

Are people going to have a decent 18th man? Looking less and less likely in my team.

Nope I've had him all year

Edit: Jealous?
