Im tossing up bringing in BJ or Whitehead this week. I think BJ will score more this weekend, but whitehead a better long term prospect.

Thinking Yates >> Whitehead is better option than Cotric >> BJ (which is all I can afford unless I do Ponga to BJ via Cotric)

If Lepiana go berserk Whitehead on same edge surely benefits.

Not sure which direction to head with my team this week. An obvious trade would be to get KNik in for eithr Lamb or Jacks and use him for a stepping stone to SJ.

If I go ahead with the above trade it'll boost my bank balance to 208k. I can either upgrade Kelly to Leilua which wont leave much in the bank but have SMat/Leilua combo in the centres or spend elsewhere.

I'm currently ranked 183rd overall and would like to remain in touch with the leaders.

The other concern I have is Jarrod Wallace, his minutes are inflated due to injury cover. With the Titans horror injury toll this year it's hard to know what their normal prop rotation will be. From what I've seen though he normally comes off not long after the 20min mark, going by that he might average around 45mins, not sure if thats enough to maintain a 50+ average to make him a season keeper. The fact that he. may play origin is another worry.

With this in mind I was thinking of turning him into Mannering, set and forget keeper and plays rd 12.

My current team before trades, 178k banked.

C.Smith, J.Brailey
J.Graham,  J.McGuire, F.Kaufusi, I.Papalii
J.DeBelin, S.Burgess, P.Gallen, J.Wallace, A.Crichton, CHN
C.Norman, B.Lamb, R.Jacks, J.Fogerty
S.Mat, N.Cotric, J.Idris, B.Kelly
RTS, B.Slater, K.Ponga, M.Sulli, R.Jennings

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you copy and paste please Boss, they want me to recite my credit card details in return for the goods.

My credit card only seems to work for pizza and beer

White Lightning wrote:It's good to see Macca with a b/e of 62 this week as his price could start coming down. Having said that he's more than capable of matching his b/e but maybe this week he can do me a favour & have a quiet one.
Other players that have a 60+ b/e this week are:
J. Friend b/e 68, Cleary 64, Croker 62, Vaughan 63, McInnes 69, C. Walker 60, Nofo 59 (ok that's not 60+) & Norman 72. There's a few round 12 players there.

I would go Lamb to Kodi as Lamb scores too many negative points re missed tackles & also because Jacks will play rounds 15 & 18 when Cronk is on origin duty. Being so high in the rankings it sure would be tempting to bring in Leilua even if he does play origin. You have to be proactive to cement your ranking position & to gain ground so I would do the Leilua trade as well.

Thanks mate, I keep thinking about the Leilua trade but the fact that it wont leave much cash in the bank and that his name is also being thrown around for origin, is making me second guess myself.

Now you've got me thinking about trading out Lamb instead of Jacks, I have to look into it further. Having someone else for rd 15 & 18 will be very handy, problem is though he may lose a ton of cash by then playing off the bench.

Wouldn't Brodie Croft come in for Cronk because he plays a similar role to Cronk ?
