20 seems a bit much, but if you're out of trades, it means even with injuries you should be able to field a good 17 the rest of the year.

These are my two so that's the reason I'm trading Milf, and upgrade to 2 gun forwards next week.  Plus if Carty gets DPP, that's another option right there.

Nice, yeah I think when it comes to the run home and everyones final 17 is complete I can't see any room for even 1 of the four reserves to come from your Hlf, Ctr, Wfb positions. Maybe if there were 3 Halfs consistently banging out 60's sure.

Smith (Friend)
Merrin, Parker, Whitehead (Harris, ET)
Johnson, Cleary (Hunt)
Aitken, Gutherson
Tedesco, Munster, Barba

with four trades for round 20 onwards.

I mean without an FRF that could be very scary.

Otherwise it is looking solid. Are you confident in ET, Barba, Whitehead? Also anything you can do about Gutherson?

James, Graham, Surgess in FRF

ET might end up 18th man or Hunt or who knows.
Do not have the trades to upgrade Gutherson and am hoping he sees consistent 40's in the centres.
Happy with Whitehead, ET I'm not so sure about.

I am the least confident in Barba. Along with Gutherson though I do not have the trades to upgrade them and keep some trades up my sleeve for the run home.

The Home & Away Parra saga continues...

Future planning...interested in opinions of who you'd pick as a third gun WFB to ride home from Rnd 20 alongside Tedesco and Munster.

Dugan, Inglis, TTrbo, Mansour?

13th and 224 behind first. Should make up a bit of ground this week

Looking good mate! With 16 playing this week you should make it into the top 5

Very hard to choose, Mansour has been dominating so right now i would pick him

Foran quits after the Hayne news yesterday and Eels deny it......hmmm......

Wacko's late mail if anyone wants to believe it;

Capewell apparently needs to overcome an injury to get his place if anyone is looking at him.

Also has Rapana in serious doubt and probably ruled out but others I've read is that he should be okay. Who fucking knows.

Wait till you blokes find out who Im going to curse this week. LOL.

Merrin is the man of the week, I'll guess him.

I bet it's a half.....either Cleary or SJ......

Anybody think Merrin is a bit overpriced?

JDB/Merrin basically the same scoring potential IMO

Code:

So next week i make my last moves to finalise my head to head team for finals.

I can have tohu harris and 7 trades left or thurston and six trades left (would need to 'cash in' Ben Henry to get the extra 4k for Thurston)

Which one you reckon?

Hastings - Pearce
Barba - Claw (Via Gutherson)
Holland - Capewell

$200K to upgrade/downgrade ET, Saifiti, Parcell, Matterson, Gutherson

8 Trades left.

Tohu bro.

However nobody knows if he is actually injured or not.

While I'm happy with Teddy getting to play Origin, that combined with Hughes not playing really ruined my team for this round. Down from what I think will be an average 13 players to a below average 11.

They are not giving Latrell Mitchell a break at all, very risky
