Well that's twice in a week I have had to catch up on nearly a full day of posting. That was another thoroughly enjoyable 15 or so pages

Showbags wrote:How about these trades if you are supplying advice!

Talaki to slater via cotric
Kbrom to bodene.

I could also do moga to chn this week, will allow me to monitor bodene for a week. However, if i go bodene this week, i can double trade next week to bring in whitehead and free cash up for jbrom the following week. For brailey, i am planning on trading out hess, otherwise if hess is going good i will trade out brailey to katoa when he peaks, then trade out a cow in 2rf when peaked to bring in hooker

Second option is
Talaki to slater
Moga to katoa (brailey planning) instead of chn

Again i will struggle to bring in jbrom bodene and whitehead in next 3 weeks....... unless i cash out elgey or another cow.

Can you just do Moga to Slater? Leave Talaki for another week or two? He still has a bit to make. I like the KBrom to Bodene trade. Either this week or next is fine, neither will change a great deal in value I feel. That decision is yours.

I'm concerned about your Brailey plan tho. Do you have the depth to cover Katoa? Or the trades? I really don't like that idea.

didn't realise that thought he was in the 21

nevermind carry on 

He is in the 21 mate, jersey 20. I expect he'll be bumped tho.

If you are doing the KBrom - Bodene trade I would do it this week

Yeah, just been looking further at this myself (for my own side) and convinced that if you go ahead with this plan it should be this week as well.

Smith

Slater

That is just about all my decent players. All this talk about making up ground during origin - I'm going to be the one trampled in the dust by all the teams ranked 10000 onwards...

Always hard choosing what strategy. Personally I bye plan heavily and make trades around byes during byes. Always see my rank improve dramatically BUT after byes drift out a bit again.

KBrom if he scores +5 points on his season average, so 38 he will make ~$4,000. that's an ask on his current scoring
Bodene will score 45-50 and either make or lose ~$2,000

for the sake of ~$6,000 max you are getting 7-10 points more. MINIMUM

But it's still funny to see

Last week it was Mitch Moses and Siro, both smash out big scores.. all talk dies down.

Hopefully that trend continues as I'm playing both Lamb and SMat again this week with Jacks on standby if Lamb drops out.

(newbie) I have Lamb on stand bye (R) and Jacks on the field due to who plays first. Can change R without being locked in. Just asking as I am still learning. Can we change field player one hour before kick off or just R players

Sign me up!

Nice maths welshy, but for me it gets a little more complicated so more inclined to make this trade next week

Kromwich + Slater vs Bodene + Cotric

Slater also has a BE of 7

1k short of Moga. Katoa is a spur of the moment thought. I am trying to find a way to utilise cash now instead of saving cash.

Current team
Smith Brailey
Faufusi JWH Wallace Yates
Gallen ET Hess KBrom Aubs MCK
SJ Lamb Elgey Jacks
Talaki Smat Kelly Moga
RTS Guths Cotric Suli Hayne
103k ITB

Idea is the following weeks traes are (143k ITB with katoa trade)
Kbrom to Bodene (for 70k)
Moga/Suli to Cash out (150k ITB)
Then
Kelly to Whitehead for
Suli to Cash out
Then
Faufusi to Jbrom
Brailey to Cash out with aim to bring mcinnes/macca the next week via hess/et
At this stage my team would be
Smith Katoa
JBom JWH Wallace Yates
Gallen Bodene Whitehead ET Hess npr
SJ Lamb Jacks Elgey
Aubs Smat MCK npr
Guths RTS Slater Hayne Cotric
about 200k ITB to go Hess/ET to Hooker

Yep, can swap them around right up till the game kicks off. I assume you have discovered the Lockout clock, but if not it's above your team name on front page. Can change any player that hasn't played yet up till then, allthough making/reversing trades can be a bit trickier, especially if they involve DPP.

Going Moga to Slater but not sure if I go Talakai to Bodene this week or next;

Smith Brailey
Fifita Wallace Musgrove Yates
Surgess Hess SMat Kaufusi Siro Winterstein
Jacks Norman Elgey Lamb
Idris Talakai Kelly Moga
RTS Turbo Cotric Suli Ponga

Talakai could still make some decent coin but so can Bodene.

Lamb plays 4th and Jacks 6th, so I would always be starting Lamb over Jacks in that situation. Always start your earliest playing players if your R'ing them anyway. (Exception Captain Cam).

If Lamb is ruled out, then remove the R from Jacks, switch him in for Lamb and put the R elsewhere.

If your next best choice has already played (say.. Frank Winterstein, Herman Ese'ese etc.), then it's probably best to R him first and then decide between Lamb or Jacks on the day.

Hope I covered it.. Always start your earliest players is the key bit though :p

You won't miss out on cash if you wait, this week is the time if you want extra points

Missed your edit. Yeah as SI said, you can move players around up until their team plays and becomes locked.

The closer it gets to lockout time, you run the risk of it not saving correctly, especially if you're using the phone app. Never happened to me, but try to make the changes as early as possible.

This is how my team is set up this week due to the schedule

(C)am
McGuire, Yates
Sironen, Merrin, FKaufusi
Maloney, Lamb
etc.

Rs: Ryan James, de Belin, Mannering, Brailey or Jacks depending on Lamb.

Most people wouldn't R big names like James, de Belin or Mannering, but given the schedule and ability to move players up until their teams lockout, it is the optimal setup.

If Slater scores 32, he goes up 20k in price
So leaving him until next week means it could cost even more if he scores higher.
Bodene' price will be similar to this weeks

Points wise Kromwich and Slater should outscore Bodene and Cotric too (largely dependent on cotric)

Oh and my trades this week...

T. Moga -> C. Harawira-Naera
M. Suli -> M. Aubusson
