If anyone could work out what Yates price will be after this weekend after he scores 20, 30 and 40 that would be a big help.

Surely I would be best going Yates > Bodene over ET > Bodene if I can do both in one trade?

Rashes only ever go away when correctly treated. My last bout of crabs lasted exactly 72hrs. Then I did the right thing and passed them to someone else.

Now, not that I'm a professionally trained doctor but I lived with Jayant Patel so basically am the next best thing. I can tell you right now for a proper diagnosis the best thing is to take a picture, post it on the internet and ask for peoples responses. You will find that the 3rd (and pay attention, because this is very specific) response is the right one. 

When I last did this the expert told me that the best cure for my pink eyes was apple cider vinegar mixed with lighter fluid to treat my problem. Worked a treat.

The way I see it is, Bodene is a keeper at a bottomed out price and plays the first bye round.

Lamb will never be a keeper and plays for a team that could get spanked most weeks which will hinder his scoring ability.

Yes, you are right in that Lamb isn't a keeper. Agree with that entirely. But that being said, the fact that he plays for the Knights who can and will get spanked means that he should get decent kick meters and therefore ok points. I am by no means saying don't bring Bodene in, definitely do that either this week or next. I am saying I wouldn't trade out a guy who has an achievable BE just yet because he MIGHT miss this week. 

Bodene also has a BE of 50 and scored 51 last week. I don't see him going up or down anything massive this week meaning it can wait a week if need be.

Now, if the ONLY way you can get Bodene in is through the cash generated by Lamb then I can understand that trade. I am hoping that you have covered most of the other areas that everyone is struggling with tho. Namely the WFB/CTR position.

@Mearcats

Cash in on Elgey to allow an upgrade of Lamb to Cleary?

I like! Other halves mate?

Norman and Jacks. Problem is that the nuffie I bring in will be a useless red dot and that spot will be killed off very early in the year

Cheers for the feedback.

Alright so having a play around with the price predictor i've managed to come with in 1k of TRD's first price rise and 2k of his second so doing the same with CHN we can deduce

If he scores 30 next 3 weeks: 31k this week, 33k next week, 24k week after
If he scores 35 next 3 weeks: 47k this week, 39k next week, 31k week after

After reading some of that live blog I really wanna bring in CHN now

I allready have a red dot in my halves in Cornish surely a cash cow half will come in from a injury like cleary last year. Trying to get the best team available as I can since I wasn't able to see team list in the first round so I'm gonna be a couple 100k behind from not having Kelly or sulli and being stuck with the likes of Scott. Second week in a row I'll cop an AE because of it

Yeah, but I can get on board with it all the same. 

Here's how I see it with this issue. Firstly, it is highly unlike that you are going to run with 2 (probably even one) of your two bench halves in your final 17, so you will need to close one of those spots out sooner or later anyways. Secondly, there is still plenty of chance that someone like Fogarty/Field etc get a run later in the season so you may not even be red dotting that position permanently.

As for the players in question, Elgey has pretty much peaked. He has a BE of 19 with an average of 25. N.B. I am paying no attention to his projected score cos that is rubbish. Lets say he scores 30 (and that's being generous) he will go up about 10k. He is either gone this week or next failing a Siro-esque effort this week. He's capable of that (all running halves like Milford/Brooks/TMM are) but it's unlikely. 

Jacks will still make money. Munsters jaw is apparently worse than originally thought so may have easily a month or so of more rises in price which makes it hard to offload him. The problem is, I don't think Cleary is going to get any cheaper. I don't rate him the top half like you do but he is definitely in the upper echelon. Alongside Normz, that's a great pairing this early in the season when most people will still be playing uber light from there backwards.

IMO, I'd do it.

rough estimates at yates scoring:

20 = 246k

30 = 254k

40 = 263k

i think he will average around 30 -35 peaking about 300k. hoping for an injury personally which elevates him in the pack,

but also mindful of pauli paulis return and what that does to him. still at least 50-70k to milk in my opinion

As I said to Spectre above mate, I think you'll find an out for that red dot yet. It means a trade, sure, but there are a few guys that I would not be surprised to see get a run later in the year yet. Should be ok.

Great write up. Cheers for that mate!

Any good front row forwards other than Jbrom coming up in the next couple of weeks? I need to ditch Sue

I don't think it needs an injury. It needs a coach who ain't a muppet. Yates will be great for the Knights. Screw fantasy stats, the guy looks good. Something about Newie and producing really good second rowers that they don't retain. Think Tapine. Any other coach running that side (except maybe Madge or "you mad bro" Taylor, would see that Yates is better than a lot of that pack already.

They may be cotton wrapping him a bit or easing him into first grade which I can condone (I hate seeing young uns being bought on too hard too soon) but outside of that, the bloke should be given free rein to go hard.
