Yeah mate, that's why I'm looking at reverse POD's. I could be wrong but my read is that 4 trades left would be the average, which is what I have. There are quite a few with none now; a few with a couple in hand for injuries; most of us around the 3 or 4 mark (I reckon); and some still with crazy numbers.
We've had those years where next to no-one gets injured in the run home, and those years where 3 or 4 go down in a single Round. So I am happy to sit back and save ALL 4 trades up till Round 21/22 instead of trying to fine tune my team. If there isn't a Neymar-like injury toll then I probably settle in the Top 1000 still hopefully. If it goes topsy turvy in the last month then anyone with trades left should climb the ranks.
In regards Ponga-like most I bought in RTS, so Ted/RTS/Turbo. For those who held Ponga, nothing lost. But Hammies are shit so I wouldn't be bringing him in first game back personally.
In regards Cook-I have McInnes/Farah/SJ/NBrown as my 4 Reserves; and Surgess as 18th man, with Smith as my starting Hooker.

I'll put them up tomorrow afternoon/ evening . But to be honest, you should stuff the BEs and bring in the high scoring player.
I understand cash gets tight for a few people though so when I get a chance I'll put them up
I can see Cook carving up against the dogs but am a little worried he won't back up. If Chricton doesnt either, I'll be forced to bring in jturbo as gallen and brown play before the rabbits this week.Mulvy wrote:
I'm leaving Cook out this week I think. He'll probably be in next week for JFH but Panthers play first and there's no guarantee that Cook will even play, or he might play reduced minutes. I fully expect another injury so whoever that is may become Cook instead of JFH.
Bypassing Cook for remainder of season? You getting Farah?rhinoceroo wrote:
Understand that, but in specific situation I wanted to know Brimson and Cook BEs as need them to get 6k closer together to afford trade next week. If I don't think they can then would just give up on Cook trade and bring in Crichton this week (if playing) and use the extra 100k to beef up my centres.

I think Inglis is a definite trade mate.
wolfking wrote:Any other thoughts what to do fellas please;
Smith
Fifita Taupau
Arrow Tolo Crichton
ARey SJ
Mitchell Marsters
Teddy MBye Ponga*
Cook James Martin JFH
Lewis Holland* Doueihi Mann
8 trades and 123K.
A. Thinking either JFH to Farah and run with Holland until Ponga returns and Lewis would have to be my 18th man.
B. Or James to Farah and then Mann to Cotric/Turbo/Aitken and have cover until Ponga returns but will have to run JFH or Lewis in my 17 for the time being.
Option A gives me a solid 17 but option B still gives me a just as strong 17 and a good 18th and 19th man.
Thanks all.

Brimson > Niukore
Holland > Cotric
Would leave me 2 trades, 100k and this team:
Cook
Fifita, Arrow
Taumalolo, Martin, Surgess
SJ, DCE
Aitken, Hoppo
Teddy, Cotric, RTS
Smith, McInnes, Kikau, Ponga
Walker, Graham, Niukore, Lewis
Pretty deep bench and RTS probably gets relegated when Ponga returns.
Too much depth??
I had 9 pre this roundRandom wrote:Anyone with more than ten trades ranked in the Top 1000??

I think B.
JFH to Farah is certainly points positive, but James to Farah could be too or at least points neutral and a gun WFB over Holland should be significantly points positive also. You have plenty of trades left, you can worry about JFH next week as I am doing. I'm okay with Lewis being 18th man (he's mine because I have to because my team is shit) but having a gun WFB on the bench when Ponga is back provides wonderful loophole potential if you're into that.

Means I will have to play Holland until Ponga returns.
Option B:
Brimson > Niukore
Graham > Taupau
Thoughts lads?
