Is it worth me bringing in Taukeiaho for Mataora

That would leave my FRF/2RF as this for the run home.

Fifita Graham Surgess Tolman
Whitehead Taylor Taukeiaho Taupau

Tauk is just a heap cheaper than all the other options, but should give good scores, especially if Cordner is out long term and he retains the kicking.

Means I'd be without JDB, JTurbo, Gallen for the run home, but you can't have 'em all. Maybe I'd be able to upgrade Tolman to one of them after origin but trades will be at a premium so may have to keep Tolman around for the long haul.
Other possibility it Mataora to Mannering, who is also temptingly priced right now.

I'd go Mannering, he's priced too well to ignore.

Hopefully we don't select him though.

I was hesitant for guys to be grabbing Tauk, but considering Cordner is now out long term he is a really solid option just may drop off towards the end of the run home. I personally was in the same position last week and grabbed Mannering for what it's worth.

Is Cartwright a keeper?

I traded him out a few weeks ago because I just couldn't cope with watching him play

Not sure if you've heard, but you just re-signed him.

Bren wrote:Is Cartwright a keeper?

I have no plans on trading him out. 57 last week mostly base stats. His tackling is improving and has a high ceiling, no issue for me.

Yeah, Mitchell and Pearce not as bad it seems.

I think Mitchell could be back for round 15.

 Gutherson probably a good choice to downgrade for cash after byes (unless Michael Gordon leaves before June 30, in which case he might be a keeper)


With only 10 trades you'd want to get $100k at least from any new cash cow to justify bringing them in and out again. I think your best bet is using Gutherson, Feeny and maybe Cleary to fund upgrades to the rest of your squad and hop[e for luck with injuries.

Good post Milchy. 2 things I especially noted.
Gordon to Roosters. Is there any late info here? I thought the move was for next year. I plan to upgrade Gutherson to Teddy this week, but would consider keeping him if Gordon was moving on.
Second point - funniest thing I've read in a long time. Use Feeney to fund an upgrade.

Bren wrote:Is Cartwright a keeper?

I think unless you have tonnes of trades remaining then yes. He is only averaging a touch below what you ideally want. And forgoing the few points a week will probably be worth having the extra trade for the run home.

I'm pretty sure Gordon isn't moving to the Roosters until next year.

Nothing official has been announced on Michael Gordon for this year or next.

So until something happens I am willing to cater for all possibilities.

Warriors team is the same as last week.

Yep, I heard, and it gave me hearing AIDS.

I got SST last week after hearing about Cordner's injury. I'm also looking at Mannering this week or next week. BE still 54 so shouldn't rise too much. Both are great options for the price IMO, especailly Mannering. Just have to work out who I trade out for him.

I feel like I've backed myself into a bit of a corner with my team, and not sure what to do next.

Smith (Parcell)
Fifita Surgess (Ese Leulaui)
Lowe SST ET (Carty Bhana Benry)
SJ Milf (Lolohea Feeny)
BJ Aitken (CLaw Holland)
Semi Munster Barba (Mitchell Guth)

I have 17 trades but only 7K in the bank. Mannering was my next target but need 200K to upgrade Bhana to him. Gonna need 2 trades but who. I'm sort of happy with my back heavy team and thinking Holland has to go. After trading Holland I still need another downgrade to upgrade Bhana, considering at this stage I'm happy to keep most of what I have here. Need Guth, Lolo and will hold Mitchell and fingers crossed he's back next week. Also thinking possibly JWH then I could get the funds from Holland, but Mannering at his price is a steal. Any thoughts?

Wonderful avatar.

Thanks for the answers lads. I'm thinking of trading Mansour - Tedesco. Yay or nay? IIRC 2? seasons ago Tedesco came back from an injury and played for a few weeks then injured himself again and was out for the rest of the season or something, I don't want to be in the same same scenario again however Tedesco is definitely one of the top 3 WFB keepers to be aiming to finish the season with.

After the Mansour - Tedesco trade. Think I can sit pretty till injuries strike (hopefully not until after round 20...)
