    I don't hate it. Was thinking of this trade. 3/4 games Vaughan scores a try +70 points

    Vaughan I think will score well with his upcoming games = knights, titans, raiders, manly. Open games seem to suit him.

    Is it worth holding onto Kelly so I can have 17 this week and an extra player for round 18? Not sure what to do with him

    I feel at his price he's not worth really doing anything with. He'll probably just sit there and rot for the rest of the year for me. Maybe he can bag a try in round 18.

    SJ must have had a bad case of man flu. Usually a 2 week recovery for that crippling flu strain.

    If Scott plays I'll have 18

    Ideally the Cowboys drop Hampton (wishful thinking)

    Want to bring in Edwards this week.

    Tempted to punt Nofo, the tigers are just terrible and he just isn't getting a decent run. But ive lost so much cash on him, and if the tigers pick up he will be a good POD.

    Nofo to Edwards leaves me with: RTS, Edwards, Mansour. Nuff nuff

    I can go abbey to Edwards, its just smashes the war chest.

    Would leave me with: RTS, Edwards, Mansour, Nofo. Nuff.

    Edwards plays an extra game from here over nofo and is in much better scoring form.

    Other trades.

    Still carrying Hampton who is bleeding cash, tossing up selling him to a 138k giving me more funds the remaining rounds and just playing low on numbers this round, coz he is going to score his usual fuck all.

    Final option.

    Bring in Taupau for either JDB or whitehead. Was always going to be Whitehead, but with JDB missing this week and a further bye, im not sure.

    Can go
    JDB>Taupau
    Abbey>Edwards

    Or

    Whitehead>Taupau
    Nofo>Edwards

    First options gives me more players this round, and better for byes. However I always planned on having JDB in final side, and first option leaves me with Whitehead in final side potentially.

    If Laybutt plays Ill have 17 for this week. Another opportunity to loophole cheer

    Haven't been this excited since the last time I loopholed. Think I might have a fetish or something.

    Punting Nofo would be a big call mate, especially considering how much you have lost on him. Surely he has to come good. Saying that, Edwards looking like the real deal.

    I just got JDB last week, so I ain't gonna trade him and I think is one you want in your final team. I'd look at punting Hampton to be honest.

    Currently I need both Curtis Scott, MWZ and Nu Brown to play to get to 17

    Will likely improve that number by 1 with a trade today, but loophole looking like an option.

    Currently VC on Munster, It was Roosters away where he scored his 99 last year, so why not bet on history repeating (obviously reason against it is the Roosters are a much better team this season and won't get done by 40, but I feel like a punt)

    I dont think thats a good trade. On averages you'll get an extra 55 points this week and then be down 3 points per week thereafter (and receive $25k for the trade). 1 Trade therefore nets you 28 points. Not a good return considering JDB to Taupau would get you ~100 (but costs u ~35k)

    But then if you take the $ into account. $10k = 1 point if you can put it to use, the $25k you get from trade A basically negates the 3 points each week => 1 trade = ~50 points.
    and => Trade B = the ~100 - ~30 (from the $35k op cost) = ~70 points.

    So still the Taupau trade is better.

    Not sure if that is confusing or helpful Smile

    Cheers

    Can go Hampton to Marsters and Abbey to Edwards.

    Both will make money this week and points. which is better than what Abbey and Hampton will provide.

    Making stepping to other players a bit easier later on. Just seems a bit late in the season to be making those sort of trades with only 8 trades left. Not too far off my final 17 though.

    This is definitely very helpful mate & I agree with you. Great analysis & much appreciated.

    I think I'll steal your Munster vc idea mate. I've gone off SJ vc due to his flu flu. My other option is Taumalolo but Munster seems much more punty & fun.
