CNK to be sold ASAP but prefer to someone who is going to play round 18 so really hoping CNK doesn't play.

All I can think of this week 

Hayne > Whare
Vaughan > Taupau

Then the week after doing something with Lolohea and ET

What's the deal with the Hayne trade? I presume you don't require him your 17 either this week of 19?

If so, surely there is someone better out there than Whare? He's scored under 20 9 times this season, in fact he's only scored over 35 twice all season....

Also I would have thought Haynes BE is pretty low (sorry havent got them handy right now). If you feel you have to trade him wouldn't it be better to do that next week? I'd guess he will make money next round.

Thanks for the tips guys
Tank 964, 10 trades left. Want to be aa aggressive as possible in getti g the highest rank

Team is

Mcinness brailey
Taupau graham bromwich faufusi
Surgess crichton gallen taumalolo merrin fui
Cleary walker fogerty field
Walker leilua scott drew
Rts nof Edwards hayne brimson

Really want to bring in mansour but think it's worth waiting for the risk that he gets named for origin 3?

Ese'ese and Moga along with smelly bowell and Guerra.
Not a bad looking team for next year, hopefully then can change their luck around.

K. Ponga
N. Ross
S. Matautia
T. Moga
S. Kenny Dowell
C. Watson?
J. Maloney? C. Cronk?? (Not likely)
D. Saifiti
D. Levi/R. Kostjasyn
H. Ese'ese
A. Guerra
J. Buhrer
M. Barnett

I thought Cronk signed up to be a halves coach for storms?

Just a cash out that plays from here on out. Don't need him with Croker and SMat.
Will look into it a bit more.

I dont know much about this so asked earlier in this (or the previous) thread and yeah, it sounds like he's a decent shot at Origin 3. I'd hold off mate. You are all good in your back three for this week so no hurry!

Is Seggy a good trade for Brailey assuming he will do 80 minutes now with brailey out?

OK Cool, but if its a cash out I'd imagine you can max that $ by holding off a week and also going someone other than Whare.

Also, just make sure you have 17 for round 19 aye.

Is he due back next round?

Hayne's BE is 3.

Cheers mate, yeah I figured it would be on the low side, so definitely money to be made assuming he starts this week.

Vaughan > NBrown
McGuire > JBrom

Pretty risky and will need Fifita and Musgrove to play 19.

Probably too much risk there

"Paul Vaughan lasted just three minutes of his 100th NRL match before being floored by a calf strain. St George Illawarra are hopeful he’ll only miss one week at most, with scans to confirm the full extent of the damage later in the week."

If Vaughan is only out for a week or two I'll be holding as don't have the trades to being bringing him back in later..

brought in Kapow for Elliot this week... needed a bit of DPP love.

I've got 11 for round 18 and 17 for round 19.

6 trades left.

Have they confirmed Vaughan's injury and timeline?

Cheers mate, didnt see that.

@Liverpool_Bulldog Vaughan's not a trade then at this stage mate. Wait and see where Vaughan is at bro. If its just one week you should be able to manage without him!

Sick of Suli. Should've sold instead of Semi last week. Do I keep against Knights or get Whare? At least that maintains my DPP rotation with Hayne as 18th man

Surely between Origin and Injuries there will be a better round 18 playing cash out option than Whare!? And even if there's not I'd be inclined to grab the extra cash and therefore a non-playing DPP $138k player and forgo the 15 points Whare will get you....
