Yep. And on the other trade would be looking at Ted as a safer bet over Ponga this close to end of season.StuDogg101 wrote:lostkiwi79 wrote:Hey guys, looking for a little advice - I'm thinking I need to strengthen my backline - I have 3 trades left and 200k in the bank currently.
Was looking at trading perhaps Arrow + Isaako for the likes of Ponga and Mitchel? Or Marsters who also adds a bit of Forward cover. Also tossing up whether it would be better to keep Isaako and get rid of Cotric? Thoughts?
If you have any other thoughts on what I should do with the trades/cash... I'd love to hear them. Cheers
My current team is as follows
1.Tommy Turbo
2. RTS
3. Aitken
4. Cotric
5. Issako
6. S Johnson
7. A Reynolds
8. Fafita
9. Cam Smith
10. James
11. Taumalolo
12. Taupau
13. Nathan Brown
Bench Spots are -
1. Farah
2. R Martin
3. Fainu
4. Jai Arrow
EMG Bench -
1.Fisher-Harris
2.Brimson
3.Katoa
4.Tuala
Hey man. Buy Cook.

Thoughts on James > Fifita? Fairly low risk given Fifita's high ownership...

Someone has already suggested I get Cook, but I'm worried that will leave me with too many hookers (you wouldn't normally hear me say that ha ha)
Nah mate, most people are running with 4 hookers in their 17, typically Cook, Cam, McInness, and Farah. You haven't got either Cook or McInnes so I think its no dramas to add Cook, even if you have Fainu there.

Thanks SI - I won't be able to afford Cook and Ted, I could possibly go for Cook and Holland for these 2 trades, then would have one trade left. Who to keep out of Issako or Cotric? The other option is to trade out Arrow and either isaako, fisher Harris or cotric for Tedesco and Masters or Mitchell?

Getting cold feet on Martin as Cappy 
Maybe just play safe and be boring with Cook/Smith
You win Krump

The other option is to upgrade James -> Cook and keep Arrow - Can afford to do that in 1 trade and save a trade leaving me 2. But not sure that Arrow is the best idea to keep with that upgrade?

Is this good or bad for L. Lewis?

Bad I'd say. JMK is a runner of the ball, Frawley is not, so Lewis' kick metres might be down.

I was going to play L. Lewis over Arrow. With Frawley now in I had a look at Frawley's kick metres in the games he's played & the highest is 198 km's which seems a bit low which infers he was sharing the km's with his halfs partner. What I'm saying is that he doesn't seem to 100% dominate the km's. Should I still play L. Lewis Y or N. Cheers.

I'd probably still lean to Arrow over Lewis, even before the JMK news. Arrow is a really tough one right now though aye! The way he's going he could be a lock for next season though

So L. Lewis may lose some km's but if he's going to be the running half then he will get extra attacking stats. Is my assumption reasonable. Cheers.

The Dogs pack looks shocking without Klemmer in it, might limit Lewis' attacking stats.
