Merrit fell to bottom price while Loko went to over 300k. Even in hindsight argued he did the right thing

Yep. I fucked up there I've learnt a bit though, hence 108th last year. Cheers.

Smith, Parcell
Bromwich, Graham, Tolman, Ese'se
Surgess, Trbo, Mannering, ET, Finucane, Leuluai
A. Reynolds, DCE, Lamb, Feeney
Aitken, Holland, Auva'a, Henry
Munster, Barba, Mitchell, Gutherson, French

Why does my team suck so much compared to yours? Heck just upgrade Tolman and Holland to elite players and boom on your way to the top 100 in overall you go, if you're not there already.

If Cordner is gone for the season, and with possible long term goal kicking, I think Tauk might be the better option.
Might not have trades to replace him though if everyone comes back from injury and he goes back to a bench role

Mannering is a bit of a safer option, should be safe for a 50+ average

Tossing up on Tauk as well mate. Great byes, very solid scorer and isn't too expensive. The only thing holding me back is the fact that at the moment he would be a planned 18th man for me at the end but with trades tight and still a fair amount of weeks left he could be in my 17 by necessity and I'm not sure if I can trust that for 10+ more weeks

I'm only ranked around 3000 this season, injuries have absolutely ruined me throughout

My big worry is DCE I was thinking bringing Tedesco in and playing Barba in the halves

Chewy - Are you still alive?

Playing you this week in L6

Nah you're kidding. I've got Rein as my 2nd HOK and an out of form Milf and I'm ranked 973. Yeah with DCE just make a straight swap or shift Barba around and you'll be right.

Hmmm....Milf for an 80 tonight, what do we say?

Also, captains anyone? Think I'll stick with Smith. Although Fifita against the Cows could be good.

Went for Rochow who was a solid enough earner until he got injured, and Cartwright who I traded much to early after he struggled early and chose to back Wade for one more round rather than Carty. Carty proceeded to score back to back 60's or something and Wade scored a 37

Does anyone know if cartwright has a long range kicking game at all? I know his short kicks go alright

Hard to say going up against the Raiders. If they play the way they have the last 2 weeks for 80 minutes then they'll probably win. If Milf's got his groove back though and Canberra still have their lapses in concentration then he could carve through them.
Just sticking the C on Smith this week personally. Went with Fifita last week because I thought he'd be pumped up after a short Origin appearance but this week I think Smith's good for the tackles and try assists.

I put Milf as my captain for the Thursday Night matchday comp, if that helps?
But yeah i think he's in for a big one tonight.
In fact i think they're could be a fair few 70+ scores this week

Don't forget it's Milf up against his old club, dunno if that really means anything these days.

Might stick with Smith too for C.

Ummm up against Pain in L2, am I?

I have been talking down my chances but am jagging wins most weeks so who knows what'll happen.

You've been warned, Pain!

I don't know who I started with

Throwing caution to the wind and captaining my newest signing, SJ. Should destroy the Knights.

Who'd you sell?
I'm wondering if I should just bring him in for DCE

I'm in same boat but surely comes down to amount of trades left. I can't afford it.

Par score this round? 950?
Everyone should have a near full strength team?

Lamb.

Side for the week.

Smith, Parcell.
Fifita, JBrom
Surgess, Whitehead, Frizz, Mannering.
Hunt, SJ, Milford, Norman
Aitken, Bird
Teddy, Semi, Barba.

The most traded in player this week in SC is Pangai Jr, and the most traded out is Mitchell. Am I missing something?
