When does Welshy turn turn up and say this should be posted in another place?

Aitken owners will thank me, don't worry. I haven't learned a thing after last week.

I changed Cotric to Holland because of that stingy Storm side and he had been moved to centre. I got one right for a change, I think.

Nice mate.

Sorry, I think you said earlier, but how many trades left?

3 trades. So 2 to get Ponga and red dot. 1 remaining

Are you 100% sure you wat to use 2 of your last 3 trades on Ponga, bearing in mind there is literally still a fifth of the season to go? If the answer is yes, then do the Cotric trade this week in my opinion. The way Holland is going finding the line in a shit team (a shit team that just beat my even shitter team) then there is no reason why he doesn't average the same or better than Cotric till the end of the season.

Yeah Wolfie but I sold Ponga for Farah so I will just curl up into a foetal position as I have only two trades left. Selling and buying back C.Smith has finally taken its toll.

If you did that when Ponga first got injured, I don't think thata a big fail mate, scored the same this week.

6/366.

5/276 and a rankings drop

no Ponga, Marsters the big killers, plus no Broncos at all.

Do it.

Actually dunno if i would trade Cotric.

Yeah Cotric or Holland will be in my EMGs as CTR/WFB cover for rest of year. Think I'll roll the dice and move Cotric to a red dot, take Holland's points, grab Ponga next week for Su'a and pray to the Fantasy gods for no major injuries to my squad.

I think it's yes. I need to protect myself with Ponga. Was shitting myself at halftime without him. He is worth 2 of my last 3 trades.

6/288. Mbye and Isaako the negatives,need my others to pick up the team or I fear a drop rankings wise. Need to get Ponga back ASAP

Updates/downdates?

Assuming Hiku doesn't play I have to leave out one of Dufty or Mitchell. Leaning towards Dufty at this stage

Got Holland, Lewis and Holmes in my EMGs, damn that's some juicy points not to play. Arrows there too. Marsters and Ponga are my only backs played, so not too bad.. Watch Aitken/RTS get 20 odd.

Seriously tempted to sell one of Aitken or RTS to get Holland's score into my 17.
I've got 5 trades so why not, right?

354/6 after adding Holland's score after bringing in some shitter Raiders centre who's never played a game and probably never will.

4 trades left for the next 5.5 rounds.

Part of the reason I’ve been able to waste trades on forward this year, *cough* surgess x4 *cough* is that I started with jcroker, and brought aitken in within about 8rds. Annoyingly they have both been consistently disappointing. Anything over 30 I’d be happy with at this stage.

For whatever reason I didn't set my team. (I think I rollbacked my team.) So instead of Ponga had Holland play. Turned out good, but I need to move Mbye on it looks next week who was in my 17.

MBye was 18th man, but toyed with the idea all week of trading him, but held off for DPP cover and just to see how he went last night. He's gone next week, even if he is 18th man. Can turn him into Kikau or Surgess.
