Damn. There goes next years cash cow.

Because rookie Knights fullbacks have such a strong history of scoring well.

100% of the knights fullbacks in their first full year in the top 17 this year have been guns

Can't take the money with you.

Well it would allow me to make much more significant trades next week when i shift Mann and TPJ. Makes my plan look like this.
Mann > Flavour of the week basement player (ie Luai)
TPJ > Papa/Brown/Yeo/Gallen/Farah

then RD 20

Thinking of Scott > Marsters/Isaako/Dugan just so i have some CTR/WFB

Team would be

Cook
Fifi Arrow
Chrichton Tolo Jurbo
DCE SJ
Ramien Mitchell
Ponga Turbo Cotric

Smith McInnis Martin Papa
Marsters Lewis Fainu Nufty

The only that that worries me is im light on 2RF and FRF cover and i didnt really want a CTR/WFB as my 18th man.

Good man MS.

@ Phantomx - That was very interesting mate. I really appreciate the effort you put into that comparison of rankings. I reckon that's one of the posts of the year.

Best WFB for the run home? Mbye? TTurbo?

Already have Teddy, Ponga, RTS

I remember you doing this a quite few years ago & a certain fb group banned you. That fb group was mainly a bunch of drongo's although there were some good guys on there so you didn't seem to mind getting banned. Your small fb group won't mind you sharing info because if you enjoy this group they might ban you. Tread carefully my undercover ninja brother .

The facebook group are likely 'guests' here anyway

If I was making this trade then I'd be going for TTurbo. That is mainly because Zora has Mbye already.

Mbye's stats look really good but I have a small doubt about sustainability. Tough call I think.

I dont think this is an issue as long as you can l**p. I'd prefer some boom/bust players rather than consistency.

I think it's one of Turbo or Mbye. Mbye is outperforming Turbo re averages but has lost gk & km's going to the Tigers although it didn't seem to affect him in the first game for the Tigers. Based on pedigree you'd have to say Turbo but Manly are out of form/off field dramas although when aren't the Sea Eagles in turmoil off the field & they seem to play better when there's drama. I have a gut feeling that Mbye is the better pick.

I wouldn't mind holding off another week to see how Mbye does in a second game for Tigers, but the idea of playing Holland or Hiku doesn't fill me with excitement

I see your dilemma. This week Mbye is playing the Dragons away so I can't see him doing so well. Manly is up against the Storm at home & coming off beating the Panthers. So I would buy Turbo.

The irony is that WL is sitting in the top 30, despite trading guys in and out 3? times.

To me this is a (three) classic cases of make the correct trade regardless of your previous trades. I.e it was a mistake to trade Cam out but the mistake would have been 100x greater not to trade him back in.

Important lesson IMO.

Yep. Im in Top 30 also, Surgess in between suspension and Injury was scoring well then. Im dirty that I burnt trades but my position tells me that my other trades were obviously solid to get this far and still have trades up my sleeve.

Yeah their names have been discussed here in the past. I notice one of them, Graeme, is in the top ten in VSDT too

Hurry up TLT, I want to know if Luai gets a spot in the 17.

(He'll probably gets named on the extended bench and slots in on game day, at least it's the first game of the round)

Yeah hurry up team lists so I can be disappointed when Doueihi is still on the bench.

I'd also like to remind everyone that the creation of ranked League's this year was in all sorts of trouble until @Phantomx turned up with the saved rankings from last years overall group.

They may not post much but they are a legend!

Its origin team lists. squads of 23 and most origin players named whether they'll be backing up or not.

One of the worst TLTs of the year.
