CHN Niko Guth Kaysa

Depends where Niko plays? I'd go CHN and Guth this round. Eels vs Raiders could be quite open

Which one of these options?

Kaufusi and norman to Munster and Gallen Or Tedesco and Sammy Burgess?

Thoughts on these trades for the next three rounds?
Rd 11: Trbojevic > Aubusson, Kaufusi > Surgess
Rd 12: Fifita > Graham, CHN > Taukeiaho, Ponga > Johnson (may change to eels player)
Rd 13: Nikorima > Munster

Last R between Brailey, Musgrove, Yates?? Also have Suli and MWZ but against the Broncos who knows.
If I leave it off Brailey I'll be able to put it on Niko if Hunt isn't fit.

Thoughts?

I dont like the idea of Boyd and Paulo running at Pritchard all game so I'd probably go Brailey over Yates. But Niko if Hunt is out.

Who is the best to trade in for Norman out of SJ or ARey

Exact same trades as me so hoping it pays off. Also have Idris/Norman just sitting there too. I would probably just take Brailey's 30 points and move on to next week.

Reynolds for bye coverage but as said by someone earlier, SJ usually ramps up against depleted teams over origin.

Macca Smith
Tapau Vaughan Fifita
Tolo Gallen Papali JDB Surgess
SJ Pearce
Roberts Hoppa
Nofo Rapana Tedesco

Havent included injured or not selected guys (Turbo/Ponga). The forwards have a few guys who are only 1-2 points different that missed out but the backs are fairly clear.

Would love to see what the "form" team is on say a 3rd avg

Have people considered the total team value they need to build the best 17 possible?

To own the team above you would need 8.53m. If the rest of your squad is 138k players then your total team value is 9.63mil. If you're living luxuriously you may have a reasonable 18th man, lets say a 350k player as an AE, total team value would then be 9.84 mil.

I need another 400k to reach the luxorious figure or 200k to just get 17 standalone + nuffies.

Of course the best averaging players right now are not necessarily the best players to have for the run home aka the POD, EG Leilua finding form, so to make a big run towards the end, it may not be about cash anymore.

Is there a link to the full video of Brett Kimmorley talking? I can only find a 20 sec video and watching that my heart breaks for the guy. I'd love to see the full video. He's a top bloke by the looks and to share what he's going through publicly takes a lot of courage and will benefit many people out there.

If anyone has a link I'd really appreciate it.

Much love to Brett and his whanau!

Thought I'd share this little gem from Scout's Q&A this week. Should be of help for most of us.

CHN Niko Guth Kaysa

Definitely CHN & K-Nik. If K-Nik is back to the bench then Gutherson as your reserve.

wow came down heavy with the flu this week and never looked at my results following week 10....have jumped into top 1000...huge goal for me. Thanks to all those that helped last week. Im looking for some more advice this week as im actually unsure where to start or even if i should...a thursday catchup has done my brain in....so im going to post my team and funds and ask the age old question what would you do.

Funds: $98k
Trades: 20

Hook: Smith, Brailey
FRF: Fafita, Tolman, JWH, Kaufusi
2R: Surgess, McGuire, JDB, Crichton, CHN, Elliot
Halves: SJ, Kniko, Frawley, CN-k
Centre: Blake, Smat, Idris, Rjennings
WFB: Slater, RTS, Cotric, Utai, Feldt

Im thinking of doing something with my Centre...none play next week, however would need to go keeper. any other thoughts or ideas....cheers in advance

@Deuces i would go idris to fui - uate to cwalker. not a permanent centre like you wanted but at least you have one player in that position for next week (albeit a reserve).

these two will likely be the most traded in backs. with the fkaufs to graham being the most popular up front

I think I'm set for the time being;

This week;

Norman - Walker
Turbo - Croker

After these trades I'll have 229K, so

Round 12;

Idris - cashout/maybe Fui
Kaufusi - Graham

Would give me 14 players for the round

Round 13;

Brailey - McInnes
Ponga - Munster

Should have well enough money I think. I could go SJ instead of Walker, but the funds will be crucial for other upgrades.

Just saw on Twitter than Bennett has confirmed Hunt won't play this week

StuDogg101 wrote:Just saw on Twitter than Bennett has confirmed Hunt won't play this week

Fuck yes.  Might hold the Walker trade to next week, just run with Niko and Lamb. Will go Idris to Fui instead.

I was originally going to go Ese ese to Graham but then I thought why not James instead? And yes I know that James doesn't play 12 but I'm thinking end game here and I think he's less likely for origin than Vaughan. That way next week I can go Kaufusi to Graham for roughly the same cash due to their expected price drops. Then Fai to replace CHN and Gallen to replace McGuire and it's looking pretty good. Please someone tell me I'm doing the right thing!?!?

Wayne Bennett has confirmed that Ben Hunt will not play tomorrow night. #NRLBroncosTigers

Thanks mate. Great news. I would love it if Hunt also doesn't play next week. Or even never again. It's not like they have been losing without him.
