The kind of trade where you consider maybe just saving the trade instead. But of course you don't. You straight trade. You trade straight up straight trade McCullough straight out of your damn team and you never look back.

Macca>Twal at the top of my list

also heavily considering Macca>RTS, which makes my whole backline look pretty damn tasty:

Mahoney
Fifita Tolman
Arrow Murray Garner
Morgan Ponga
Bateman Nikora
Tedesco RTS CNK

Rein Lawrie Burr Hass

CHT Sivo Ravlawa Kahu

Do it Pookus, I know what u mean and how u feel, just lock it in.

Fifita meanwhile was in rehab alongside Josh Dugan (general soreness) and Kurt Capewell (calf) while the first grade squad trained, but was confident of overcoming his hamstring issue according to his teammates in time for Thursday's kick-off.
Gal also saying he’ll be up for the game.

Meanwhile Chewie puts Fifita safely in spot 18 and puts the C on Bateman 

Thoughts on this trade, bringing in Cook as coverage for fifita, next best captain is either arrow or bateman

Bird to Haas
Macca to Cook

does mean I have to run sivo in WFB

Team would be
Cook
Tolman Fifita
Murray Arrow Bateman
Arey Morgan
Capewell Nikora
CNK Tedesco Sivo

Lawrie Garner Haas Rein

If fifita is out I bring in CHT or Carty into my interchange and elevate Lawrie to starting

Currently Twal (c) with Bateman (vc) with the presumption of no Fifi this week for me Chewie...

Twal's got the VC in my team. I also considered him as a Captaincy option. 
Fifita can go in the l**P, no idea how many minute he'll play. But even with reduced minutes he can still have a massive score, if he scores over 40 I'll take it.

Looks good to me, Cook double captaincy score will most likely make up for having to play Sivo
Next week you could bring Ponga in to fix the Sivo issue.

Going off of SC position vs team. Over last 3 rounds eels give up the most points to FRF. So, twal not a bad shout imo.

It seems that everyone is targeting Teddy or Ponga at WFB. Any love for RTS as a keeper? Plays an extra game without Origin. Or is Ponga’s price just too compelling?

What is K brom job security like considering they have Joe Stimson

I prefer RTS of the 3.

Back 3 is currently rts ponga and cnk. will most likely trade cnk to teddy and thats it for wfb this year.

Ponga's price is what does it for me plus his floor should be higher (goalkicking) than RTS.

Now if we are talking Teddy or RTS I'd take RTS this week (Better BE, plays more games, similar output). Most like me would have started with or jumped on Teddy either 2 or 3 weeks ago as he bottomed out. At the time RTS had a great rd 1, sub par rd 2 and a good rd 3. Tedesco had dropped 100k so was more tempting than RTS who most people felt was priced about right (think I'm quoting the NRL podcast rather than this forum). With some hindsight RTS is probably in the same tier and was/is cheaper.

I'd get all 3 but CNK is doing fine in my 3rd WFB spot. CNK to RTS post rd12 is my current plan. Ideally I'd have TTurbo over one of them (personal preference just like him as a player more) but he is injured for so long that's probably going to be too sideways to consider for a while.

My Rankings:
1. TTurbo (most fun for me to watch - always breaks the line as everything goes through him and DCE)
2. Ponga (skills of a half, great TB ability and goalkicking to provide a safe floor)
3. RTS (getting more involved with no SJ. Same TB player with good opportunities)
4. Tedesco (Roosters just have more options than the Warriors. Tedesco is just as good as anyone on this list and probably has the biggest boom games but he's less of a focal point and while that means he'll have better opportunities (defences cant target him) he's just not as involved IMO which means the lowest floor.

Hope that helps

Love the detailed delves into your rankings mate but for me TTurbo would be 4th in that list, never averaged above 50 whilst all the others have plus his injury history is stating to PILE up now

for me

1. Ponga
1.1 Tedesco
2. RTS
3. TTurbo

considering cook or rts for macca

rts means i dont play sivo or rava and that 23 BE looks very juicy


already going bird to haas and have rein and mahoney to play hooker if decide on rts what do we think?

wfb currently is ponga cnk rava/sivo

also rts would leave 200k itb

Was done to encourage you to post more often. See it work.
And there's the bragging without contributing thing.
catching up so this may have been covered already.

Devastator

Due to player increase and decreases in my ideal trade scenario, missing out on Twal and Bateman/Klemmer by $10 and $2 k Sad

Anyone considering Rhyse Martin?

Haha. This is probably the more accurate list for sure but if I'm giving up 50 points over the season for a player I actually enjoy watching I'll take TTurbo everytime and pray he doesn't get injured against the odds. Sometimes that's the most important part that gets lost in the stats.

But yes TTurbo statistically is a far worse pick who I cant have till rd 15 where I'll probably have my back 3 set and running out of trades isn't fun. Would have been in my team this year and will be my first picked next year health allowing.
