The latest candidate for dumbest player in the nrl haha.

Lamb for Feeney or Taylor, which makes more sense and why? Thanks

Think I can do without the drama with Peat and trade him.
McInnes an option??

I'd sell Feeney as you get rid of a red dot & get a player for round 12 but if you want the cash to upgrade elsewhere then Taylor.

Yeah losing a red dot is helpful and good for the soul, Taylor hasnt warranted being traded out just yet in my opinion.
Also have JDB on the bench can can cross that bridge next week he can be covered this week

I'm not sure on McInnes for 3 reasons:
(a) b/e of 69 this week so he could be cheaper next week.
(b) doesn't play round 12
(c) although he'll play 80 minutes Cook could very well play next week. Souths are mixing up their team searching for a winning formula & if they lose this week what team rolls out next week

There was no Paul Carter Award from the weekend so he can have it this week.

Depends entirely how many trades you have.
If you trade Feeney for Lamb, and then you trade out Lamb when he peaks, that is two trades. But you still need to trade out Taylor for someone to get his cash, another trade.
Taylor to Lamb and cashing out lamb eventually is a trade less. I have Green in my NPRs I could trade to a cashie and earn a little extra money, but I think the two trades it will cost me is not worth it and I would rather take his red dot to round 26 at this stage. So every team has a different situation pertaining whether that move is a prosperous one or not.

Hmmm hadnt thought of it like that. Arghhhh currently sitting on 18 trades, which from what i can tell is not many at all.

How much money will Lamb make at the low end? 100k at least??

Isn't it in the other 15 clubs best interests to not sign any parra players for awhile, effectively stopping them accruing points and thus improving their own chances of making the finals.

Who gets the cut?

Dugan Croker Munster Barba Mitchell Holland

Well Dugan will play well against us, its a given, so he stays.

Croker should have a good game as well and seems to be hitting a bit of form, I'd keep him in also (but factor in my love for the bloke and team).

Munster should be a certainty I'd say.

So that leaves Mitchell & Holland (and possibly Croker if you don't trust my bias). I'd personally be taking Mitchell and leaving Holland out as Tigers are so unpredictable who knows whether Holland will go huge or have a quiet game, whereas Mitchell should score decently regardless I'd think.

Edit: Derp, missed Barba in that list O_o, hmm against the Knights though I'd keep him in.

Hahaha ummmm bugger that for a choice. Barba perhaps.

Just know whoever gets benched goes huge lol

Absolutely. Why not wait a few games until they can't make finals. Though their desperation may be of great economical advantage to a team who snaps ups Peats at a bargain rate. Most clubs probably trying to find the balance between the two.

Yeah it's kind of a case of who jumps first. Take the Raiders, if Paulo was on offer I really don't think we'd bother fucking around too much just to try and take a few points off the eels. We want as many wins as we can get and Paulo would help us do this, who cares about the other clubs, worry about us first.

Archers absolute dismissal of Barba in this choice means he also chooses Barba

I got in with my edit first!

Very good point, I hadn't thought of that. But its like those games they teach in economics. It works if and only if everyone plays along, but as soon as one club looks after themselves at the expense of the whole then it comes unstuck.

That being said how do salaries/contracts work. I.e. does whoever signs Peats have to pick up his Eels contract? Or can that contract be scrapped and then a new one renegotiated with who ever signs him?
