True, the cash out, if they score bye round points would just be a bonus. It was the 5~10 points per round extra you might get from a future upgrade that I was angling towards. That would easily cover the score you would otehrwise get from a bye friendly mid-ranger that wont otherwise see ur starting team for the rest of the season.

With 4 NPR's, 4 Rabbitohs for next week I'm already looking at 17 to choose from so someone like JBrom/Bukuya could fill the void for the rest of origin. Maybe Jbrom could be worth the gamble.

on your trades. i think they all look very similar. personally i would lean towards alvaro with his consistent minutes and form looking steady

i went the gurgess route because he was a cheaper option than the other guys you mentioned. negatives are he only scored 23 last week, which doesnt bode well for the next two bye rounds + he also misses next week which could be an issue

not sure how youre travelling money wise, but if you did go this option you could possibly bring in taupau the following week which may work out better for your 17 in the long run.

there are 11 full rounds left to play excluding the byes (for manly,knights,panthers). so if you bring in a player from these teams that averages higher than 10 points of a current player eg. taupau over merrin/whitehead. it works out better than bringing in a 40 point player who only scores in your 17 for two bye rounds.

what im saying is gurgess could be a viable option over jbrom/alvaro if it gives you money to upgrade to a better gun next week. negatives are, he will be a poorer backup than the guys you mentioned

^^THIS^^

A much better articulated version of what I was trying to get at!

Selling Walker against the Titans? Weird

Hoping the Aaron Gray to Sharks rumours are true. Was personally hoping we would chase him.

Yeah I dont know man. JBrom looked great for 5 minutes last week and then he did jack for the rest of the time he was on the park. I have him, but Im not convinced he is going to provide anything more than 30 to 40 PPG.

Its hard to say without spending a bit of time looking at ur team, ur cash, your plan moving forward, and the # of trades you have left, but my hunch is focusing more on the end game might work out better for you long term given the guys you have in tehre already (which is a really solid team!).

You will for example be desperate for some cash to upgrade if Graham doesnt improve. Its possible that Taupau outscores him by 10 maybe even more points per game. After this week Taupau has 11 games left, Graham 10. Therefore Graham will need to outscore him by 5 PPG give or take just to break even. I'd say it will be the other way around (and at least 5 points) in which case Taupau outscores Graham by ~100 minimum over the rest of the season. Thats way more than you'll get out of a bye friendly mid-ranger isnt it?

I hope Im coming across as helpful mate, just trying to offer an alternative to consider.

With not even a double digit amount of players playing this week, this is me.

Huh? Up early for a trip to Malta. Been headed all over the city on my way to the airport, what fire?

Who on earth owns a lot of eels. Who are they?

One of the reasons my bye numbers are so shite, is because no eel is worth owning or a keeper

Brown isn't a keeper? i reckon he is. Norman may end up being one too

Oh Jesus, just read about it, terrible stuff. that's just near where we live, when we left the house this morning there were some crazy black clouds hanging low, but I thought it was just sleep deprivation

Got both and at this stage I consider both keepers in my team.

Glad you're not involved, mate! Scary how easily this can happen when you have poor fire standards in high-density dwellings.

Is Milford worth keeping for the run home in the hope he comes back early?
