I've already done 1 trade (Hopoate to Aitken) which worked out.
My 2nd trade will be either:
Hastings to DCE or
Hastings to Matterson or
Hastings to Leilua

I like all 3 especially Matterson as it gives me 344k in the bank but I think I'll go Leilua as he's a keeper, plays round 12, is averaging nearly 50 & is friggin awesome.

fuck it. everyones going ben hunt. post discussion earlier today, im going daly cherry evans.

@ wackos - Mataora & J. Saifiti to be ruled out. Pauli Pauli & 1 of either Bhana or King will come in.

how will knights expect to get any consistency in performance (especially defense) if they change the lineup every single week. granted they have had their fair share of injury problems but in general Brown just seems to keep rotating players in and out (as well as from front row to second row, etc).

I agree. There is no stability in the pack. He's even moved K. Sims back to the bench when he was playing well when starting.

yeh it makes no sense and moreso with a struggling line up. you would try keep the core/nucleus of players the same week to week so you gain trust in the man beside you, form defensive combinations, etc.

I traded D. Saifiti to Bhana as the former was useless. Now Bhana has been dropped while Saifita is a starting prop.

On Hopoate & his absence. He's a good player but you wouldn't class him as elite. So wouldn't he be a bit worried he'd lose his spot. The Bulldogs looked more dangerous in attack with Perrett playing fullback & if they easily beat the Roosters this week why would you change a winning formula if you were Hasler. If I was Hopoate I'd be doing extra prays.

Thinking of doing Hastings > DCE (bringing him back)

Already have Milford, and staying away from Johnson & Hunt as don't want to pair those with Milf...

Sorry for disappointing KFP. I've looked at my bye schedule match ups and none of them are tough games. So might try and do well over byes, problem is I missed last nights game and the Dragons boys are pretty good bye options.

Did you mean to type my name? What are you apologizing for? What did I miss?

You rightfully scolded him for giving up on overall. Good to hear you're back LB, you're better than that. You can do both. Just don't go crazy over the bye period and trade only for that reason, make sure it's a keeper too if you can. Even if it means it's not ideal for byes you can usually find a good compromise, for example I'm thinking of picking. Up mannering/podene. He's only playing 1 of the 3 byes but I've just planned to wait till after Rd 12 and replace someone like mataora and suddenly he looks better

Oh right! That post was meant in a joking manner. I thought everyone knew the meme "Son, I am disappoint".
