Tark bought in Hodgson.

I'm thinking smith to peats. Lets me also move out gordon to DCE. 2 extras for this round and 15. Plus dce  can join norman and hunt in my halves for the ride home.

Thanks! Considering I have 6 players who can play there, I thought it was terrible, but you've made me feel much better!
3 blue dots, 2 red dots and a green.

I am only really interested in trading down in my backs at the moment, and there doesn't seem to be anyone cheap and semi-decent who is playing this week. Boo. Not sure what to do.

Im gonna post my team up because I have no idea what to do going forward, I feel like Ive traded myself into a hole.

HOK: Hodgson, Parcell
FRF: Graham, Bromwich, McGuire, Ese'ese
2RF: Thompson, Whitehead, Surgess Taupau, Taylor, Arrow
HLF: Johnson, Hunt Norman, Mbye
CTR: Aitken, Lawrence Avua'a, Kennar
WFB: Munster, Mitchell, Mansour Feeney, CMat

Did Fensom --> Bromwich this week.

Ideally this is my starting lineup with Taylor/Mbye coverage/depth.

That being said, this late in the season, is it worth carrying that depth? Or should I offload something?

The only trades I want to do are:

Parcell --> Smith/Friend
Mansour/Mitchell --> Tedesco
Lawrence --> Croker

I however only have 20k in the bank.

I think there have been so many good cash rises this season that a lot of people will be looking at running an 18/19 man squad at the end of it, so no worries carrying depth.

Your team does look pretty light for Rnd 15/18. Downgrading one of your halves will give you enough cash to go Parcell to Smith and get a CTR or WFB upgrade, however you'd be losing a bye player in Mbye or Norman so not sure it's worth it yet, certainly not for Smith. I'd be holding ET as 18th man and in any event he has plenty of cash to make still.

Have you considered going McGuire to Napa or even SST/JWH to bump up your numbers?

I could do Fensom -->Napa or SST (preferably a FRF) instead of Bromwich. McGuire is a keeper only because Ive held on to him for this long and he's in that horrible price range.

I thought about SST earlier, but is he a keeper?

Ha you must be living in a very different Fantasy world to mine. Once I get rid of Holland and K Niko so I can get DCE or Munster in I literally have Gutherson left as my only cash cow. After that legit I am done in Fantasy for the year. All I'll have left is red dots like Vincent Leuluai and Curtis Scott or dud cows like Aloiai.
I originally wanted to get Jake Friend in but legit I just have no room to do it with the price he is currently and the fact my back-up to Smith is Mitch Rein who just keeps falling in price. I call him my POND (Point of no-difference). To illustrate how screwed I am I'll post up my team tomorrow, it's a bleak picture.

Just crunched some numbers, and as long as I got Fensom to SST this week, I can go:

Mbye to nuffie
Mansour to Tedesco
Parcell to Smith

Ill have to downgrade Kennar if I want to upgrade CLaw to Croker. would leave me with very minimal cash and about 8 trades.

I would be without heavyweights such as JDB, Fifita, Gallen, Leilua But a rounded team and enough trades to cover injuries.

You guys are silly for trading out Smith.

I think you are all trading him out because he wasn't named. Seems like everyone is trading him out because he might/will miss 1 extra game than expected.

If it was one extra game, fine. The worry is that it's three extra games as the Storm have easy fixtures after the other Origins.

I'm holding fire, but it's not the craziest idea.

Fair play. Yeah agree regarding holding fire. Still got to get through tonight anyway...

Fensom to SST for me this week. Looking back Fensom turned out to be such a bad bye.
Also was secretly hoping Cleary would get a run for the panthers with seggy out of favour

Fensom to SST
Parker to Napa.

Give me them cockle doodle Doo roosters up to 14 players for round 15 so far.

I can also field 17 this week provided Smith or Feeney plays, although if Feeney played I'd still say I could only field 16

Milchcow wrote:Tark (overall leader) traded Smith out last week.

Could turn out great if he does get rested.
Tark will have to trade Hastings this week though, otherwise he has to play Feeney. Plenty of trade in options though

I am not 100% convinced that he will be rested but could be on the bench for the start of the match. Either way I should be able to gain a few points on the chasing pack.

At this stage looking at getting Pearce because of his bye schedule but dce is also an option

Someone mentioned trading themselves into a hole and the more I think about thats what I've done. No idea where to go from here, should I be looking fore more players to generate cash? reverse taupau -> bunt for more 2nd row depth/bye coverage?
Smith, (Parcell)
Jbrom, Jgraham, (Jturbo), Welch,
Harris, Finucane, Surgess, Bhana, Asiata, Lbrown,
Mbye, Milford, (DCE, Bunt)
Aitken, Holland, Auva'a, MCK
Barba, Munster, Mitchell, Gutheson, Feeney

Looking at Copley for cashout bye cover but a bit worried about end of season AE. He's out of the team when SKD's back, right? But still plays Origin/Big Bye rounds to cover Ferguson.

Well Aubo is playing in the centres currently, there's every chance aubo moves back to the bench once SKD comes back. Lots of possibilities

Any more news on Gordon?? Mainly where will he be next round??
