Same. You're doing heaps better than me mate, but not because of hooker choice. Smith and Farrah for round 13 if I have the funds and trades.

I had Macca for the first couple rounds

Did you quote out macca this week mate? I’ve ditched him this week finally and will run Mahoney / rein.

Yeah, getting him back in for Macca. can't do it anymore.

Haha, took me a few weeks from memory.

I'm jumping on Farah next week when he's around 750. He should be back to scoring 60+ this round

I've had Cook & Mahoney since round 1 but Cook has been taking the piss lately so I might sell him if he continues to not have a go at the line.

I got rid of Macca and Edwards early.
Bateman and Lawrie were my first trade ins

As a boss at work I can be a bit of an asshole sometimes. However with my fantasy players I'm far too trusting and let them walk all over me for far too long.

Cook
Fifita Hass
Murray Arrow Burr
Cleary Carty
Bateman Nikora
Teddy Ponga CNK

Rein Lawrie Sutton Garner

Xerri Sivo Rava Sele

I think I'm going to bank both trades this week as I'm not entirely sold on my options that I've noted below:

1) Rava - With a BE of 36 he is probably a trade, however, back starting on the wing I think ill hold this week and re-asess next week. If there was a round 12 downgrade that stood out I would jump off but for now I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope he can find the try line again this week.

2) Garner - I'm actually surprised to see so many people trading him out. I guess it's the money he frees up to jump to a gun but I'm sticking with him this week in hope that this benching is only for 1 round as a way to ease him back. (or that he is elevated to start come game day.) With a BE of 31 and an average of 47 he is a hold for me for now and ideally will be traded out when he peaks just before Rd 12.

3) Sele - He has fallen off the face of the earth but he does still have a super low BE and will hopefully find his way back into the team for the first bye round. Similar to Rava in that if there was a decent Rd 12 cheapie around I could downgrade him, but without enough bank to upgrade to a gun I'll keep him for his looping ability for now.

4) Lawrie - Another that I've seen tossed up as a trade out option that I don't quite understand. BE of 28, average of 44, and going at almost 1 ppm. He's stays for me and will be another ill probably look to trade just before Rd 12.

5) CNK - Has probably peaked unless he can find another big score soon, (hopefully this week against the panthers) but with my team set up I don't think it would be a wise move to be trading out any Rd 12 players at this point in the game. He won't lose much cash but he could make a lot more as well.

Seems like the right move...right?

I was only being ruthless in the first 3 or 4 rounds, just to get the team in shape. But now I've settled down a bit, otherwise Twal would be on the chopping block

Sooooo Sele can wait?

Love this but accidentally downvoted (actually have a sprained thumb at the moment)

Yeah I got rid of Edwards early too. Got Bird instead of Bateman if I recall. Each week I was going to get him next week. Now I don't think it matters which week I get him as long as it's by round 12.

I think I'm skipping Farah. The old git haha

Great post mate, hard to disagree with any of that. I don't see Rava doing much but without Hogitken inside him who knows? Sele I agree with what you've said. But if you need to trade out someone he stands out for me. Not even named in reserves. I want to hold Garner and Lawrie ideally for another couple of weeks. And yes CNK has peaked but should hold value for the forseeable future, hopefully untill round 12.

Have to play two out of Cartwright, CHT and Capewell. Leaning towards the forwards...thoughts?

I've got my eye on Crichton, Surgess, Mahoney and Kikau.

Out of the lot I feel like Mahoney will be the most consistent but the others can go large.

Yep, Carty and Capewell.

I doubt Capewell channels his inner Maloney again this week.

i think this is the week i can finally get rid of bmith and ravalava to deardon and crichton

leaves me with

mahoney
tolman fifita (c)
taupau crichton murray
morgan cht
bateman nikora
tedesco ponga cnk

rein burr twal haas
deardon sivo xerri borris

i get that its good to bring in a gun half/hooker eventually but i am happy with who i have got for now... i am hoping deardon will be the next cht

leave capewell out or better yet trade him out
