I have been pondering this myself

Why do you still have hhunt? Those are some missed points for the last howver many rounds right there. The rest is great, although ash taylor I suspect will be upgraded after origin.

Every time I've planned to trade HHunt out, I've had more pressing trades pop up or I've traded someone who'll lose money instead of HHunt who will at least hold his value while he's not playing.

He is one of my next trades, don't worry. At least, that's the plan.

I think he is.

Thinking of doing Barba to Lolohea this week. But only if he's good enough for the centres all season

So who are people looking at bringing in if/when Holland gets dropped?

Some outside-the-octogan options:

Lolohea as previously mentioned
Walker if he keeps getting named at centre
Hurrell
Ryan Morgan if he holds his spot at the Storm
Talakai

Sit Rep

Trades 9
Bank $90k

Team

Hookers: Smith, Hodgson
FRF: Graham,JTrubo, JBrom, Surgess
2RF: ET, WhiteHead, Ma'u, Pauli, Leuluai, Asiata
HB: BHunt, Barba, Feeny, Littlejohn
Ctr: Croker, Aitken, Keenar, Henry
FB: Gutherson, Vuninvalu, Roberts, Phillips, Mitchell

In Summary.

Team: FCUKED
Bank:FCUKED
TRADES: ROYALLY FCUKEED

This weekend, leaves me with choice of F the trades and get friend in for Hodgson and whitehead as they will miss two byes from now. Or, sitting on my team, riding out the byes and trying to keep semi dcent scores coming and hope other teams start dropping off.

Ive been the victim of short sighted trades at start of year, trading in players for byes that aren't keepers or worthy. Have dropped 1900 places in two weeks. With that looking to blow out further. Team for of popular players so no real upwards movement in sight.

Looking at going

HHunt ---> Hurrell this round

Barba ---> Fifita next round.

Naming the shit cunt who tried to cheat by trading in Ryan James when he scored 100+?

That person/s only got their team rollbacked instead on disqualified and like what SI said, he knows who he is.

Upgrade Tolman to JBrom this week or wait a few and get Fifita at round 19? Would need injuries to be kind to allow me to use a trade to bring in Fifita at the end, but thinking JBrom is a keeper anyway who misses only 1 game from here on out

That trade seems kind of sideways to me. Sharks have a run home that include two games against the Roosters and one against the Knights plus a few occasionally defensively crap teams that could really leak points if Sharks are on song leading to high Barba scores. I mean if you got a few spare trades up your sleeve I guess it's worth a go but I don't think there's too much upside to it.

Friend's BE still at 85, but I guess you want Hodgson out this round if you are getting rid of him at all right?

All things being equal, Fifita netts you 610 points and JBrom netts you 591 points by Round 26.

If the 80k difference could be used to upgrade to another gun then I reckon JBrom is the go just personally.

This, pleasantly smiling at people trading Barba out. Will be gold for 18,19 against weakened teams plus the run home is better than any team. Jack Bird could be worth grabbing as well as a bit of a pod if he avoids origin.

I'm getting Talakai for sure.

Bren request. ask and you shall receive

Ill have 16 this week.

17 trades left. 190k in the bank.

Sitting in 1454 th and should have 17 every round in the run in. So should cruise up the ladder in the next month.

So I have this pencilled in:

Whitehead out/Talakai in (purely a cash out, any points welcome though, hopefully he disappears when Sutton comes back)
BLaw out/JTurbo in (must be one of the few who don't have JTurbo)
Grant out/KEvans in (only if named at Lock again, risky and I want to vomit but suits my team).

Leaves me with 10 trades and 345k in the bank, and:

Round 15  16 playing
Round 16  17 playing
Round 17  16 playing (currently 13 with 3 more trades between now and Rd 17)
Round 18  16 playing (currently 13 as of today but will trade with reaching this in mind, probably 4th trade required)
Round 19  20 playing (but will aim for 17 with above trades to balance out players in 17/18/19)

Should leave me with 5 trades minimum for the run home.  2 of those will finalise team.  3 after Round 20 for injuries. Issue is due to good (but average quality) depth, I will have some plodder AE's hanging around.

Now watch it all go to shit in 3,2,1...

Well with limited trades left and no real downgrades to me all I can do is plan for my final team. Current team is

Smith, Rein
Fifita, Graham, J Turbo, Leuluai
Cartwright, ET, Surgess, Bodene, Talaki, Asiata
Hunt, Milf, Cleary, Hughes
J Roberts, CLaw, C Scott, Gutherson
Munster, Teddy, Barba, Mitchell, Feeney

Trades: Ditch Latrell and Gutherson after Round 19, use the cash to upgrade Rein. Maybe upgrade ET to Gallen and see if I can trade out one of my backs to get Leilua or Rapana in. If Cleary keeps scoring like a keeper he stays otherwise I upgrade him to a gun half or WFB. It'd leave me with around 5-6 trades for the run home, is that a reasonable number?
