Leaning towards 1st and 3rd leaving

Smith McInnes
Fifita Wallace AFB Leota
McGuire Chricton Kaufusi CHN Frankenstein Yates
Norman Johnson Jacks Frawley
Turbo DWalker Idris Cotric
RTS Slater Ponga Edwards TRD

Have potentially 9-11 keepers that I won't be trading out.

TRD, Yates and Jacks on the chopping block next week with 120K left. Team is a shambles for the first bye.

Would you consider Dwalker to BJ? Only need to outlay 20k,that is a steal! Only concern is BJ has averaged 21 at GIO this year, and guess where his next 2 games are ...

No, I won't consider trading Dwalker to BJ, sideways at best that is. Personally Dwalker will end up top 4 centres come year end alongside Aubs, Turbo, and probably Croker with BJ/Peachey 5th/6th. I got him as a keeper for the season and he will come right, averaging 36 despite the Sea Eagles hard early run, I think he will be amongst the better pick ups after round 15 for those of you who don't have him. Will have a very good draw at the back end of the year and expect him to have Croker like scores from last year to finish the year. Good player.

Ride those 2 I would and if not comfortable in 2 weeks with scoring get BJ in, although he could add another 2 monster scores by then

Welshy is a gud advicemen, but it depends on the rest if ur team. How urgent getting BJ in compared to other positions etc.
I have and would can Smat given his situation. But if ur keeping then coupled with Idris u have two scoring centres.

A couple of good match ups this week with 2 players up against their former teams.
Cook v Bulldogs & Wallace v Broncos. I expect both players to really step up for these games.

White Lightning wrote:Here are J. Graham's minutes for the first 6 rounds = 58, 52, 58, 52, 67 & 66. Does anyone know why his minutes have jumped up quite dramatically over the last 2 rounds. Is it because he is match fit now which allows him to play bigger minutes or were there injuries & are these mid 60 minutes games going to be the norm from now on.

Fuck, man. You jump from one player to the next fast..

I'd say the last two big minute games 67 and 66 mins were due in part to Frawley being on the bench rather than 4 forwards (Felita-Mariner previously in Rds 1-4). And also being tight games against Broncos and Knights, Des probably wanted him out there.

Rd 4's 52 minute game was when smashed by Manly, so I guess just gave him a longer rest. Or maybe the 58-52-58-52 was an intended rotation while Felita-Mariner was there.

Only way I can get Crichton in is:

Lamb ---> Frawley
Yates ---> Crichton

Good trades in isolation but it gives me a halves pairing of Johnson and Frawley. LG waiting in the wings. If Johnson goes down or Frawley gets dropped again, I'm in trouble/would have to two trades to bring in a good half. :-/

Pull the trigger?

Lamb's BE is 40 and he's playing the Roosters up next, don't think he's gonna be hitting that BE but won't lose a huge amount of cash yet Frawley (if he starts) should make a bit of money at least.

Yep, talking myself into it... talk me out of it?

Haha that's how I roll bro. I survey all options, throw up multiple trade options, then panic close to lock out & eventually & most times pick the wrong option. I see Klemmer is out injured this week so it could be another 60 odd minute performance from J. Graham. If he continues playing 60+ minutes he'll be very tempting.

Only way I can get Crichton is for ET, and just not sure its worth the trade. My other players in 2rf are JDB, Gallen, Whitehead, Sironen, CHN). Maybe I am holding onto hope with ET a little too much. I suppose I could jump off Sironen now though he does seem to be finding some consistency.

Those are the exact trades I'm looking at Filth. Is that a good enough reason to talk you out of it haha.

Actually I fucked up and Rd 5, Bulldogs still had 4 bench forwards with Faitala-Mariner only playing 3 mins. Injured I guess? Don't remember and isn't listed as injured.

With Seggy out I wonder if Sharks go back to plan A which was work Brailey up to 80 mins.

Are you guys keeping or selling Hess this week? A BE of 44 is not guaranteed for him if he doesn't score a try. If I sell him then it frees up sooo much cash!

I must be the only Frank Winterstein owner on here because I haven't seen it mentioned that he scored 49 points in round 6, went up 22k & now has a b/e of 18 this week. The man has probably been my most consistent player even though before round 6 he was only scoring about 30 but hoping his 49 is a sign of things to come. I saw the game & he looked a lot more involved but that was probably due to Manly playing down his channel for a change.

Thoughts on these trades?
Musgrove > Crichton
Lamb > Walker

Leaves
McInnes Cook
Fifita Wallace Kaufusi Papali
JDB Gallen Crichton Sironen CHN Yates
Cleary Walker Hampton Jacks
Mitchell Smat Kelly Suli
Trbojevic RTS Ponga Cotric Abbey

Yes I think that will happen. Maybe they bring Paulo back into the 17 to give him a 10 minute rest at the end of the game but either way he should play big minutes.

Yep I like those trades.

The only way I get Hampton is to tell Brailey or Jacks. What the best route?

Fair points you've made...but in past seasons, Des has been harder to read than a romance novel.

Just when you think you have figured out a trend in Graham's minutes, the prick will go on a run of giving Tolman 70min games.

Is Hampton a better prospect than Brailey now considering Seggy out and hopefully getting 80 mins?

Brailey will be a slow burn now and Hampton could go boom!
