    Kikau hasn't merited a trade-in for me yet. Two scores over 50 (50, 75)

    The 50 included a try and 6 TB's

    The 75 included a try and 10 TB's with 2 linebreaks.

    Kikau is that type of player that can rack up 5+ TB's and a LB pretty much every game but he has gone 39, 50, 25 and 75 and looked a little underwhelming. Mind you, he is pretty cheap but he is also at around the same price in which he peaked last year.

    Yeah, he seems to be slightly underpriced. I know the round 12 player selection is pretty slim, but isn't there any better options out there? 
    I would guess Rabbit and Verbal did their homework, or are they purely going on instinct?

    Would love to know how long Korisau is out for. Fainu is some player.

    Waddell the only definite in for me, but if Fainu was an 80 minute hooker leading past the round 12 bye he could make $200k like that with 50+ average.

    So I need some help because my punt on taking William Kennedy made my team shit the bed essentially this week. My squad as it stands.

    D. Cook
    A. Fifita, M. Taupau
    J. Arrow, C. Murray, L. Garner
    M. Morgan, B. Cartwright
    B. Nikora, J. Bateman
    K. Ponga, CNK, W. Kennedy

    R. Mahoney, M. Rein, P. Haas, L. Burr

    CHT, B. Lawrie, B. Burns, B. Xerri

    I can't take a risk on playing W. Kennedy another week. Originally I was going to run him until Burns returns. This week Lawrie is definitely going but for who...

    Burr/Arrow/Morgan -> J. Tedesco
    Lawrie -> Waddell (Getting on the flavour of the week.)

    Burns -> Tedesco
    Lawrie -> Player worth less than $290k

    Really stuck on trades and only $45k in reserves

    Kikau looks still injured to me, I won't be touching him for now.

    If Niko goes to Warriors for an acceptable price ($500k-$600k) I'd be pretty happy (as a Warriors fan), him and Green seem like a decent combo and makes us alot stronger this season. CHT is the future to replace Green, but clearly has some flaws in his game and isn't a finished product. SK has already said they want to nurse these guys into NRL, being the number 1 half clearly isn't ideal. AK has been injured, but played Sunday with mixed results. Isaac Luke is also off contract next season, Nikorima could also be an option to replace him with Roache.

    I'm thinking McCullough to Pearce currently for my trades. Gives me 2 halves and some cash in the bank for an upgrade.

    I think Koro and Elgey/Croker is better than an Elgey+Croker halves pairing. Fainu is perfectly fine to play starting hooker.

    From fantasy point of view Koro is cheaper and if he gets halves role is a good option.

    if Elgey and Croker play together, I think Elgey is the better fantasy option.
    How does koro score at HLF ?

    I would probably do this one, rather than trade out Burr/Arrow/Morgan.

    Waddel is an excellent player but with AFB back his minutes drop back again. Jake T, Thompson, and Sironen play 80 minutes every week, so Waddell will only get 35-40 mins behind AFB and Taupau without injuries.

    Johnny B Goode wrote:Fantasy goggles off, it still wouldn't make sense to cut CHT out for Niko. CHT has done an exceptional job in the circumstances to lead a team around as a rookie, especially a rabble like the Warriors. Taking him out now would just be stunting his development and experience.  

    He isn't out of his depth, they aren't getting massacred every week. I'm leaning towards it's probably an issue with Green more than anything else.

    I agree with all of that. I’m thinking Green is the man he’s replacing. CHT has been going great guns. If he has a weakness, it is his passing game. He tends to throw lollipops, but I see that improved last game and will continue to do so. He’s going to be very good. Replacing him now with someone from outside the club would be a terrible move for the Warriors.

    Twal was charged with a Dangerous Throw on Phillip Sami, won't miss any time if entering an early guilty plea.

    blurgh, second guessing myself so much this week, think i've narrowed it down between Cleary and Mahoney for the 1st, and JTurbo and RTS for the 2nd, really want to bring RTS because it'll give me a set-and-forget back 5 of the Pong, Teddy, RTS, Batman & Nikora, but i'm very wary of the fact that he sat for a hamstring problem last week, and that shit can hang around (eg. TTurbo)

    100% mate - I heard the Warriors are worried about covering Green and that's why they have approached Nikorima - that was on the radio this morning!

    I've kept burns this long partly through misinformation and partly through bigger fires elsewhere

    May as well hold him now to save the trade? Likely to miss 3 more rounds

    Brian Smith (I don't know what his title is at the Warriors) was on NZ radio on the weekend & the SJ money & the young halves took up most of the discussion. Smith gave the impression that the young halves Keighran, CHT & Perham would all get some game time over the season implying that due to the intensity of the nrl that they don't want to burn them out. Then this Nikorima rumour comes up this morning which seems to back up Smith's point about not exposing the young halves too much. I was going to get CHT this week but what Smith said had me doubting that.

    Depends if you can cover his score, or not, in the mean time.

    I had to finally pull the pin on him because my only other options at WFB were pretty dire.

    Team is currently sitting alright, a part from the lack of cash but getting alright cash gen from Sivo, Xerri and CHT... might throw Rein in as well as he wont be a final 17 keeper.

    Cook
    Fifi Tolman
    Murray Arrow Garner (hoping for a 55+ return)
    Cleary Hughes
    Bateman Nikora
    Teddy CNK Ponga
    Rein Haas Waddell CHT
    Whitbread Xerri Sivo Dearden/Lomax (if he gets CTR).

    This weeks trades were
    Rava > Dearden/Lomax
    Brown > Waddell

    36K remaining

    No more loopholing for me and I now at least have 4 NPR's making money.
    Next on the chopping list is; Hughes, but he can stay for a few weeks until some cows make some money. Think I am set for trades and will be banking some from now on barring injury.

    Trades basically depend on wether Fainu/Koro get the HOK role outright.

    Fingers crossed

    Same here. Gonna keep him anyway. I just didn't think selling him gave me enough funds and had other players to drop that were losing cash. I'm expecting him back for round 10. Managed to get Ponga and RTS in with CNK there so should be okay. Too bad I sold Sivo over Rava early on lol
