Congrats Pacey. Making moves I see!

Well, got smashed last week and didn't even make 800 and slipped down to 289. Bringing in capewell, friend and johnson this week, hopefully can turn it around...

If McCullough didn't get KOd last week I'd have 17 this week (with only 2 trades)

I could get 17 if I make make a 3rd trade - Would probably be Hayne - Nu Brown if I do so. No min price halves worth grabbing so Brown probably worth the extra cash. And Hayne doesn't look like he's got the fantasy goods this year. Could just hold for a few weeks and hope he has a mini hot streak to get a bit more cash in.
If I downgrade would probably spend the cash next week on upgrading WHitehead.

16 for me with N.Brown ruled out.

I'm holding Hayne but only because I've got more urgent trades. I don't think he's a keeper this year either, so you might as well get rid of him whenever it suits your team best.

What's everyone on atm I'm 667 with 3 to play was hoping for 900+ but a few let downs from graham and walker mostly

785 with Cotric and Keary to come.

615 with 3 to go.

Nathan Brown, James Graham and Andrew McCullough were meant to get me >150 points this week. Instead I got 22 combined

748 from 13, could have been worse. Had Graham and lost Brown.

Traded in Rapana, Mannering and Fualolo and all scored well.

I think that's pretty solid mate! I got 766 from 14 (including Graham and Walker, the later I just traded in and am now seriously questioning whether it was the right call). That being said I also traded in SJ and Ma'u so all in all the trades were probably OK. Just not sure if Walker is gonna be a keeper this year. After watching the way he played this week I don't think he is...

Im interested in how everyone else went this week, but need total people playing as well to get a better gauge. I'd much rather take your score than 850 from 17 for example as lower numbers this week will tend to mean higher numbers in subsequent bye rounds.

I hit 777/16 I have 6 players on the bye this week plus the likes of Norman elgey graham ggm and niko so in abit of trouble

Norman hurts mate. What are you thinking there? U got a few holes to plug by the looks though so perhaps worth taking the gamble he will be back sooner than originally suggested and deal with some of those other issues aye!?

754 for the round and up to 13th for me. Not bad considering I got hit by Graham, Brown, McCullough (although most of the top teams would have suffered in that regard)

19 available this week, but that includes McCullough, Graham, NBrown, McGuire so need some good news for injury recovery

Well done mate. Looks like there is at least 4 regular posters inside the top 20 now.

Looking forward to your BEs for this round mate, it'll come in very handy. Im not sure who to go, Merrin or Lolo, although I could perhaps get both as I didn't realise we get 3 trades this round. I was thinking three was just for 12, 15, and 18.

BEs won't happen until this afternoon at the earliest today.

KNiko being more expensive than Tedesco makes that a very tempting trade.

Moga, Cotric, Whitehead also potentially on the chopping block.
NBrown and James Graham beign monitored for injury but I'd like to keep them both

I think RTS has earned himself a slight reprieve and might get a couple more weeks.

Scored 707 from 14 players that included CWalker and Graham.

Up to 124th overall.

Probably making 2 trades this week

CWalker -> JDB
Brailey -> McInnes

This would be my team if no byes this week:

CSmith (McInnes)
Gallen, Graham (Tolman)
JTrbo, Lolo, JDB (Surgess, NBrown)
SJ, CNK
Ma'u, Crichton
Teddy, RTS, Munster

Have to find a second half to partner SJ but they're just not up to standard. Pearce is the best but misses 3 rounds. CWalker has gone to crap and misses 2 rounds. Possibly DCE? Cleary?

How many players was that with mate?

I had McCullough and Graham (and Walker), so I was pretty happy in the end with my total. Defiantly surprised to move up in the rankings despite only having 14 though. Either teams were running even lower on numbers than me, or more likely people run with a bunch of low scoring guys just to make up numbers.

I'm in a similar boat to you this week. Currently have 20 (technically available) but that includes Macca, Graham, McGuire and Jacks, as well as a few cheapies who won't add much. Im also in a pickle with my halves, currently have SJ, C Walker, Elgey, and Jacks. Not sure what to do there.... Plan was to cash out Elgey this week and therefore cop an AE (likely MWZ/Suli)

just be careful on the CWalker trade mate. Not intending to talk you out of it (as I am in a similar dilemma and still thinking about what to do) but the two games he misses should be pretty easy holes to fill. He only needs to get back to close to his normal scoring and it would be a mistake to trade him out.

Can you get a (decent) new Half without losing Walker?

If you are able to I'd love to know the BEs of:

Lolo, Merrin, McInnes, Macca, McGuire, Clearly, Moses, & Teddy

Thanks!
