Out of the following, who needs to make way for Gallen.
Whitehead
Elliot
Surgess
CHN
Crichton
JBD

I'm thinking CHN has peaked. Thoughts?

Look at the work-rate CHN got through against the Knights. All your other options are guns or got decent bye cover, maximise their usage and get CHN out.

That's a great group to have to choose from - I know CHN will be favourite with most people but I can't seem to let him go, I just get the impression he's on the edge of a really good score (but what do I know - really, I don't )

JGraham or NBrown as a keeper? JGraham is a proven gun whereas I don't know much about NBrown's game

So if Nathan Brown is all good to go should I trade him in for Jarrod Wallace? If I did that I'd be put in the unique position of having to choose my 17th player and last reserve out of probably Nu Brown, Fuimaono and CNK.

Plus it'd leave me with only 14 trades and well if I can field a full team this round whether it's of quality players or not, I don't know if it's entirely necessary. Don't want to miss out on points but would love to conserve as many trades as possible.

I'm thinking of trading Fifita to Vaughan a round early to enable to CHN to Mannering .

Vaughan seems to down the pecking order on the NSW pack. So even with an injury or two during Orgin1, he may not play SOO this year.

Any thoughts?

Agreed on CHN, will probably ditch him this week as well.

Good to double check. Sadly, this now creates an issue of financing the CHN trade.

Just personally I would save the trade. You have 17 OR will have 17 after trades for Round 13?

Easily CHN, how could it be anyone else?

I guess all us owners figured this would be the year Maubbs stayed in the Second Row.  I'll ride it out personally.  In saying that, the Second Row you were ending up with by trading him was pretty impressive.  I just want to run him as a set and forget (hopefully he grabs a meatie this weekend  )

I wish you the best of luck with that and I hope I don't regret it but looking at a backrow of JDB Surgess Mannering Gallen and Crichton may be too tempting for me

I'm not considering any Broncos but TPJ is on extended bench. Does he have a chance to come in? Could be an issue if considering Broncos forward.

I have no idea what to do.

Smith Brailey
Fifita Brown Wallace Yates
Surgess Crichton Bodene Elliot Kaufusi CHN
Niko Frawley Lamb Norman
Croker SMat Fui Kelly
RTS Cotric Slater Ponga Suli

20 trades 249K. Will have 12 this week if Brown plays which I'm happy with.

SST worth a trade for Felise? I need that bit of extra coin cause next week I want to go Brailey to McInnes and CHN to Lolo. Also thinking thinking Felise to Semi via Fui and Suli??

For some reason I want to keep Norman for the time being and getting Johnson might make funds short for next week, depending what I do. I know Niko's a trade next week but I'm kind of happy to run Lamb and Frawley and take the Niko hit until the next week.

Only just realised Mortimer is on extended bench too. Could fuck a lot of plans if he came in instead of Brown

My team of 14 for this round


Not going to rip apart my team too much to the detriment of the rest of the season.
Should be able to hopefully make up a few places on the overall board over the H2H players at least (I hope haha)

Graham , Tetevano
Surgess, Chrichton, Gallen, NBrown
Nikorima, Frawley, F Brown
Aubusson, Fuimaono
C Walker, Nicoll-Klokstad, Tuivasa-Sheck

17 for next week too

Why not Fifita to Graham, mentioned it a bit in my blog but if worst case you didn't get Fifita back they should probably score similar to end of season with the 2 extra games played and frees up cash.
Norman to Nu Brown? Then next week upgrade Niko to one of the players I mentioned earlier, lots of cut price guns will be around the 420k price to choose

I'm 35k short of doing a CHN to Gallen and JWallace to Graham trade. I'll have enough cash for McGuire to Graham though. Any thoughts?

Man, I just don't know if I can trade Fifi out. Cheers, it's an option I obvioulsy have to look at.

Anybody else have CTRs as shit as mine? BJ Fuimaono Kelly Idris

Fair enough, this coming for a huge sharks fan and love watching Fifita play as well.
You have the trades to bring him back 19, Grahams price should hopefully back closer to 500k then too and making it a cheap upgrade.
Anyways only you can answer this one haha, trust your judgement and don't live in regret with the decision

Haven't run the numbers but you could go CHN to Graham this week and Bodene to Lolo next week, and if you don't have enough cash, go Smith to Nu Brown via Knik this week and go Knik to Mcinnes next week and keep Brailey for the time being. Just brain storming here...

Well comparing Wallace to Mcguire,they are similar players and at least Wallace isn't playing origin (for now)
He plays round 15 and it's a toughie so worth it for that
