I got James last week because I was filthy at reversing the week before with RCG news. Cost me 55k more. He seemed to stick on 60pts for the last 20-25 min. Now he's another 47k more absolute top dollar.

I had Fifita to James lined up until I hear Taupau was a maybe. Went Taupau to Cotric instead.

Not the worst. But I want James for rd 17, and he isn't a bad option moving forward.

Jamie Buhrer recently returned from a meniscus tear that required surgery after missing only 2 weeks of footy. Buhrer was initially expected to be out for 6-8 weeks. Shows recovery can sometimes be accelerated in these cases

You'd reckon the Warriors will nurse him back - they'll desperately need him fit for the finals.

I think Harris is still fine to trade. Theres plenty of options around his price that could get similar points. 

Im not sure if I get Airken or McInnes now. Getting Holland also and looking to hold Ponga. Own Mitchell and Robinson said last night on 360 something along the lines of Mitchell feeling the physical effects of Origin and will probably need a break, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesnt play next week or the week after. Pure speculation though.  Seems more practical to get a back at the moment instead of another hooker.

No kicks spud territory I thought?   

I love the memory span of some around here haha

Holland is still a spud, but he might be a spud that's in my team before this round begins.

if it helps, there are only 7 games left after round 18.

Only 56 games left you mean. I'm doomed.

Thank you - long time listener, first time caller!

I have 7 left, so figured if I made 3 or 4 this week it'd leave me in a relatively good position for the home run to cover any injuries.

Welcome mate & good to see you posting your thoughts. I have 7 trades left as well & still trying to decide whether to use 2, 3 or 4 trades.

Less than 250 days until the 2019 NRL season kicks off. Better get the fantasy planning started

RTS or Cotric?? Forgot Cotric is DPP, could be handy

Cotric I reckon has more upside.

Definitely keeps the team flexible.

RTS has a habit of going missing too. Cotric just seems safer, Hodgson back too, raiders scoring points again.

Also, raiders have a tough run home, so probably plenty of kick returns and dumy half runs to rack up Tbs

Just note the source of my information.

*My gut.

Im looking at 11 also. Going of averages, ill be looking at around 500pts. Id hazard a guess that this is about average, if not slightly above.

11 players is good LB. I have 8 after 4 trades haha. 

Im wondering how many players on average people above me would have. Could be the last chance to hopefully grab a few ranks cause I reckon after this week its gonna be tough going to climb the ranks.  But with only 8 players, probably not likely.
