sorry for the dumb question but how do you trade players??

Wait for lockout to end sometime later tonight/tomorrow. Then you can use the trade centre to trade players

Gonna trade walker to lawrie play lawrie starting with AFB in my reserves and use the money to upgrade someone like radley

Have to wait for lockout to end.

Normally it's Sunday night, but because it's the first round it might not be until tomorrow

cheers bro.. thinking of you all in christchurch

882. Certainly can't complain. Looking forward to seeing where that ranks me for the round.

Wow, off to a bad start. Although, most of the fails need to be held for another look. Too early to panic but not ideal at all!

Thanks man, appreciate that. This place has been a welcome distraction (and having the league back in general...and the Warriors topping the table after round 1 lol)

931 at the mo, Teddy, Holland and SJ disappointing but will probably hold all 3.

I will be honest and did my homework on 90% of people but Murray and Arrow sat there all preseason so didn't question them

Most people probably got Arrow on the basis of his first 8 rounds last year (those that looked at the stats and didn't just get him because everyone else was getting him)
3 of his first 8 scores were under 40, but 2 of those he started at prop. There was a run of 5 games where he started lock, got no more than 65 minutes and scored 65, 99*, 38, 66, 79

*(2 tries)

Then he got injured, and had a lot of trouble with his ribs for the rest of the season, often coming off early clutching his ribs.

Everyone assumed he was fit again (a reasonable assumption, and there were fluff articles suggesting as much) and also assumed he'd hit the highs of that 5 week period last year (perhaps we have gone wrong here)

I did consider running without him, but I was probably closer to ditching Morgan (who similarly, was being mass picked on a couple months of form from a while ago)

So even if it turns out Arrow is a dud (relative to his price point) I am mostly comfortable with the process that led to his selection.
The mass adoption of him here probably caused some group think, where people didn't question him much, and if we had, maybe less of us would have him.

so with friz out, does vaughn look enticing to anyone?

Murray must be pretty similar then

I am considering arrow to friend.

Now with brown injured, I'm thinking Niukore will keep his spot for a while yet

Okay then mate.

Murray started most of last year off the bench. Once he was confirmed starting lock, with Surgess on the edge, he was vert hard to argue against picking.

Site wide selection percentage Arrow 11% Murray 30% bears this out.

I think even less thought was out into Nikora than Arrow. It went no further than cheap CTR in the forwards. Luckily it turned out well, but I doubt many people did serious research into Nikora

The sad thing is that my team doesn't look that bad. The only standout poor choices were Taupau captain, playing Sivo over Ravalawa, Holland, and Dedwards. SJ's 36 made all that much worse due to people playing Keighran in their 17.

FML.

Jesus, and here I am complaining about my score. Chin up bud.

Wtf. Currently ranked #64 lol

Interesting i did not expect that from Bateman I will happily trade that prentender Holland for him! Worse case he scores 40 which is way more than Holland hope to can achieve without a try

Taking me a bit out of context there champ (or maybe I wasn't clear enough): I meant it will be for unfortunate for either of us to (luckily) score well and lose by so little.

A very average 814 for me. I'll actually take that as I thought it would be nowhere near that at times on the weekend.

Taupau
Holland
Radley
Borris
Edwards

Had Arrow and Macca too to a lesser extent. I think everyone can stay but Radley really the only one I didn't find much to like at all. I didn't see the Dogs game but Holland is my man so he can stay, I know what he is capable of.

Garrick can become Bird and perhaps Radley can become Gillet or Bateman.

What a night! Rain was actually coming down in different directions but was a great game to watch, front row seats and got to meet and shake hands with CNK after the game! Such a humble guy and really happy to meet him and have him in my team as well.
