Looks like tigers will look to exploit the pace ofnaigama & nofo

Just traded him into my Ultimate draft squad. Here is hoping his recent form continues.

Cowboys v Roosters  
Knights v Raiders
Panthers v Broncos
Warriors v Storm
Dragons v Rabbitohs
Odds at time of bet: $17.83
Odds now: $7.97

Crazy how much they've come in.

Cowboys $1.23 into $1.22
Raiders $2.13 into $1.60
Broncos $1.55 into $1.48
Storm $2.44 into $2.00
Rabbitohs $1.80 into $1.38

Sportsbet are offering me cashout of $469.72 from my original bet of $300. There's no way I'm cashing out though. Riding it home!!

How were the raiders and the storm not favourites to beat there opposing teams?

I think t's listed as home and away order, not favourites.

I thought the Warriors were the Storms bogey team? Wouldnt be surprised if they snuck a win especially since Matulino is free to play. The Knights? well... even I have scored more then they have so far this year.

Ahhhh? No i read it as storm were $2.44 against warriors now they are $2.00
Then, Raiders were $2.13 against knights now they are $1.60

My questions is what bookie would have given those odds? Given sportsbet provide the markets weekly.

I dont understand how he got those odds, seems ridiculous that those odds would be given on those games.

Is Tim grant to graham good trade?

Haven't really had a chance this week of sorting my team out. Did a quick read through here to see how things have been going.

Trading Green for Scott and will be cutting LAM to free up some cash to upgrade to some of the struggling guns in the next few weeks- guys like Dugan, Fensom, Tolman.

LAM for Blawrence or for Gavet?

Okay so my comeback sucked.




Just like your Grandma on my balls.









Too far? (Sorry bro).

Just noticed N.Brown had a lot further to fall than i had realized, dropping 40k is just a bit too much, which has changed my plans - trading him to Norman instead of Mann..

Unsure about what to do with the 2nd trade & 85k, at the moment i've pencilled in Evans -> Lawrence, though I'm not at all confident, i have an awful feeling Buhrers return will push JTurbo back to prop, Starling back to bench & Lawrence back to left right out.

Thought about Evans to Gavet, Evans to Mataora, Woods to Graham, Merrin to Surgess, DCE to Tedesco, Mann to C.Scott, possibly LAM to Whitehead/Cartwright in hopes of a breakout game, though I was more keen on shipping him out for Ma'u next week... ugh all these choices and only 2 hours to pick one.

Wouldn't be trading out Evans. He will still score well and make a bit of cash. Unless you are trading LAM, then from that list I would wait a week. If Merrin struggles again then turn him into a genuine gun

I'm skeptical Snake will ever play again - but that is the plan

I'd been thinking the same thing but it could be a few weeks back in for a new injury and then gone for good.

No mate, all good i like it. We need a bit more cheap shot banter in here i say

your gran would know all about cheap.

So I'm having 2nd thoughts about trading out DCE so my next option is selling either Ferguson or Aubusson as I can see both scoring badly v the Cowboys tonight.

Slater out - Tedesco in is locked
My 2nd trade options are as follows. Please choose 1
(a) Ferguson out - Davis in or C. Scott in or P. Mata'utia in
(b) Aubusson out - the above or H. Hunt in

If you don't like the above should I stick to my original trade = DCE out & C. Walker in

Thanks.

I'd go Ferg out for Scott/Pata'utia because I have Ferg and I also want to get rid of him.

I'm really tossing up between
LAM > Mataora
LAM > BLaw
LAM > Gavet

I've currently gone Gavet because my usual policy is if in doubt go the cheapest and spend the cash elsewhere (Gavet now could give the cash to do Gordon > Tedesco next week if Gordon has another low scoring game), but I see Mataora scoring potentially 10 points a week more than Gavet for about the same price rise, but also for an extra 100k investment now. I'm not sold on BLaw just yet, and was thinking of waiting another week on him. Thoughts?
