Oh, I don't know why Sele's leaving
Or where he's gonna go
I guess he's got his reasons
But I just don't want to know
Cos for 24 years
I've been living next door to Sele, Sele, who the phuck is Sele.

The whole Martin v Young saga. Why not both. I don't like the look of any guns (who are dropping cash) at the moment. I need some cash ITB to grab a gun or two over the next few weeks. Both are playing in decent positions where they should see 40 points. Both low BE's. Martin looks like a 40+ scorer even in 60 minutes. Young a 40+ scorer without scoring tries. Both less than 300K. Some questions over job security but nothing official on Tapine and he may not even go straight back. Some questions of Cleary Snr. but if they get a win I don't see the team changing much. Plus the Panthers forwards are going down like flies. Gives me the chance to wait on Taupau,Pearce,RTS and co.

Guys like Brown, Whitbread are hard to figure out in regards to trading.

Is it worth getting rid of them for Young and Martin even though it only gets you maybe 50k each?

Edit: Nope that only gives me a bank of 173k which isn't enough to go straight to a fallen gun.

Brown and CHT were my outs this week. CHT made me some good money for the cash out and yes, Brown did only make me 50K but I am trading out a player with no return date, not making any money. At the moment 50K is also the difference between J.Graham and A.Twal, Mau and Matterson, or Wighton and Hiku.

EDIT: True if you are trading both Whitbread and Brown. In my case i had 60K already banked, CHT to Martin got me 170K and Brown to Young got me 50K so 294K is plenty enough to jump from Hughes, Sivo, Xerri to a fallen or even established gun in a couple weeks time

I think Brown moreso than Whitbread with the unpredictability of his back injury

I also got Whitbread when he made the team for Rava but then immediately got rid of him for Lomax when he didn't make the team which in hindsight were bad trades and should have skipped him but it helped me afford ARey 2 weeks ago getting rid of him

I think since Martin & Young both play R12 anyway, you're not losing out on a R12 number by trading out Whitbread (and most likely gaining one with Brown, and possibly also gaining one with Whitbread if he somehow doesn't make the 17 in R12) it makes sense to pick up the ones with greater cash generation and I'd say both trade-ins should average more points anyway

TLDR: I'd trade at least one of the red dots (Brown first) to get better cash generation

Apparently A. Fifita this week is his 200th game. It's a home game so imo he'll push himself to play. Next week they play the Dragons away so I don't think he'd want to play his 200th game away if they want him to give him a rest this week.

I think I'm liking the following trades:
Burr > Martin
Ravalawa > CS9

Leaves me 164k ITB.

Means my team would be:

Cook
Fifita Hass
Murray Arrow Lolo
Cleary Carty
Nikora Xerri
Teddy CNK Ponga

CS9 Rein Lawrie Martin
Young Sutton Sivo Sele

Only issue with these trades is I'll be running with no CTR cover.

Pull the trigger?

Never a bad time to get CS9 in I reckon so I'd hit that button

Loving the new name and look of the site MTB.

Should get @Liverpool_Bulldog to do you up a mad logo.

Im not sure why you'd be still holding Brown to be honest.

As for Whitbread, others have said, and I agree, he's a hold unless you really need to switch him out for someone. He'll play 12 and could get some minutes until then if there's an injury.

I think you have to take the punt on at least one of Young and Martin. I'd go Young mate.

This doesn't help when running financials for a Fifita tradeout haha

How bout a subtle dig at Fiona, her cats, and her crew? I'd just chuck this up in the top right corner

Are you seriously considering dumping Fifita?

I've seen a few guns touted as trade outs this year, and some people who have actually followed through. Im not sure how that has worked out. Cook was one, Arrow another, heck even Murray's name was thrown around a few rounds back. I've seen Teddy's name out there as well.

No doubt every now and then someone gets a little lucky, but I really dont see the logic here, well not enough anyway. Fifita played half the season with niggly injuries last year and he gunned it. Chances are he does the same. Just remember he's the third tanked FRF at the moment and top 10 active players overall.

Cheers mate, I'm looking at Gillet/Brown out for both Martin/Young. Leaves me enough to probably go Lawrie/Morgan to Lolo/Taupau next week.

Although I'm really tempted to give Martin a week and just jump on Papenhuyzen and hope for a lucky break this year, that would definitely allow the Lolo/Taupau trades next week.

Yeah was entertaining it but the appeal is gone now after some numbers.

Nah they had the option to do immediate surgery or postpone it until the end of the season and they're waiting until the end of the season to do surgery on his shoulder. According to the nrl casualty ward he's due back R14

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him have surgery if they lose a few more games and their season is done.

Yeah, good point. That way he would get a full pre season in.

I think Pap is a bit of a trap, people lured by his cameo 30 minutes.

Hughes is back next week and I dont see any reason he won't slot into FB again. Then Drinkwater is due back before 16 and he was the #1 FB at the start of the season. That makes Pap #3. He may not start again this season. You'd probably need 2 lucky breaks. I personally dont see why it is worth the punt. There are others out there who are cheap enough and will almost certainly give you points and cash.

I was reading this morning that Drinkwater is more like a couple of weeks. I agree that Papenhuysen is a trap if you have hopes that he'll play every week but if he is solely viewed as a cash out with short term money making ability & if you don't mind waiting until round 16 when he might get a run with Munster in origin (he still may not play with Drinkwater back) then go for it.
