Was thinking Mannering if he's back or maybe wait until rd 13 after Lolo and Vaughan's bye and pick one of them up.

I've got the usual bye friendly forwards as most so I'd be looking at season keepers if I let McGuire go.

Its right there hey, tempting to dump n run but to who ? Or is it an unnecessary trade with the bye rounds causing havoc as it is.

Why is there 2 games tonight, by 3 tomorrow?

Arrived back in OZ yesterday... Back to normal WiFi

I picked up Lafai when Maubs was of sick a few weeks ago... not a bad pick with him taking the kicking duties.
76 this round

You have him too don't you Rev?

What's your plan with him?

Yes i do, but after using quite a few trades as it is i am not 100% on trading him. Although at the right time to a fellow gun.. 1 trade.... maybe its a must.

very nice gutsy pod pick up. he is looking like a top centre, hopefully he kicks on for you.

My rd12 team does not look good

Cook
Brown Graham(in for Kaufusi)
Crighton Gallen Elliot Thompson
Niko (SJ if i trade Norman)
Moga Fui
RTS (maybe cash out for Suli )

so with 3 trades i can get 13, just depends if i need to cash out Suli or have enough cash to go CHN to Surgess on the quality of those 13

I should say i had no intention of bye planning and only trading cows or keepers all season. Was really really happy how it was going until the Turbo/Norman injuries. Sets me back a few weeks.

Brilliant POD pick. Lafai started out so cheap this year (Cheaper than Sione I'm sure) but I had no idea the Dragons would kick on the way they have and he'd get back to that 2014 level of form.

I'm in the same boat mate, I'll need to keep a close eye on my trades.. I have to be careful how I do it too so I don't get stuck without a dpp in the second row for later on.

One way I can go is move McGuire into the front row and turn him into Vaughan. After that I can turn Tolman into Lolo via Brown after rd 14 and finally Brown into Fifita after origin if all goes well.

3 trades for 3 guns and then depending on how Chricton goes, he'll either stay or turn into Mannering.

Or it could all turn to shit

INJURY UPDATE: good news - no serious damage seen in Andrew McCullough's scans last night. A concussion process will take place this week.

I realized something yesterday after I looked at my team and another disappointing RTS score. My WFB needs some serious work to be good for the run home. It's currently Guth, RTS and Slater who are averaging 40 or close to it.

However Slater to Walker is on the cards for me next week and Guth will soon be shifted out of any position where he might be useful. Got to draw up a plan to try and see how I can get Teddy and Munster in for the run home while fixing any other problem areas I might have.

Anyone looking at A. Glenn for round 12. He has been scoring well lately & should play 80 mins next week with half their pack in origin.

No idea. Obviously something to do with it being a bye round next week but i still dont see the point. Love having three games on saturday though... its a bummer to have to wait til 5:30 for some footy today.

Watching the game at the ground i thought teddy would have scored 50+. The tbs doesnt surprise me. So many sideways runs.

The round 12 team I posted a couple of pages back will now change. I've decided to keep Smith & Fifita now because I don't want to waste 2 trades getting them back in at a future cost that I probably won't be able to afford. That means I need extra funds for round 12 so for my 2nd trade this week I'll probably go with Manu instead of Mitchell & save 73k. The only problem is the possible return of SKD but I would imagine with the trouble he's in it won't be anytime soon.

Only having two players on super saturday is such a sleeper

It might be a blessing in disguise mate. After the high player scores of the Thursday & Friday games the fantasy gods usually exact revenge & the 2 games today could be the day.

I've only had 5 players so far and my ranks plummeted. With only a couple playing today I'm hoping tomorrow my players go bananas and I get a big boost back up

rd 12

pritchard cook
brown graham
surgess gallen crichton manners
sj frawley
cotric fui
rts guth

pritchard manners and guth for smith fifita and slater.
leaves me with 300k itb and 17 trades. hoping farrah plays origin, will go ponga to guth if qld dont pick slater which is about as likely as nsw not picking pearce but i can still hope for both lol
