Smith (McInnes)
Vaughan, Taupau (NBrown)
Gallen, JDB, Crichton (Surgess)
Johnson, Cleary (Walker)
Leilua, Fuimaono/Marsters/LeBrown/Hayne
Tedesco, Dedwards, RTS/Hayne
That's what my final 17/18 is looking like.
I will have four trades left in the last 7 rounds (not enough, I think).
That includes upgrading someone in that 17.
The question is, where to upgrade?
Walker to Pearce? Leilua to TTurbo? Bring in Fifita for someone?
Vaughan, Taupau (NBrown)
Gallen, JDB, Crichton (Surgess)

Or just a dpp nuffie?
personally i would take the points but i dont have the trades or a centre/2rf to cash out so im leaving him out. reports have siro coming back rnd 24-26 so an AE score might not be an issue.
i guess the bigger risk is that he might be found out in a big minute role and return to his 20 minute game time. with a high b/e some people are waiting to see what happens this week

Wow! All the reports/rumours going around about him being injured put a lot of doubt in peoples heads, myself included.
I was so undecided about my captain choice this week and very tempted to put it on CS9 but chickened out, watch him have a blinder tonight with an 70+

4 will be more than most mate.
Getting Fifi might be a bit sideways with that FRF unless you bite the bullet and fuck Vaughan off. Walker to Pearce is savvy if you want to spend the coin.
Whikst it looks like you have Centre depth, that could change quite quickly.

Can't decide whether save trades, 8 left, or do Suli>Ttrbo and play him over RTS. Warriors Perth voodoo but looking better and last year was 15-14 golden point but Manly were on terrible run and look like real contenders. Also going to be wet I heard.
Is Turbo good enough final 17? Trying to select good value pods from the guy overall who I think will win. He already has Cleary Hoppa Mansour who were all targets but I need to chase differentials

Even my own team, I can't pick them to beat the tigers with a halves pairing of Feeney and Hodko.
The thing is, if they do win, the halves will probably get praised and Hodko coming back in is a masterstoke. Nevermind that they are playing a team shittier than they are. The only real chance lamb had to prove himself, he gets dropped.
Yes, disgruntled Lamb owner also.

I wouldn't do it mate, but I know you've mentioned him before. If you have a gut feel on Widdop, go with it, but I'd maybe wait and find the funds to go Cleary or someone better.

Wound you be happier with 60 extra points for the season or the potential for a shit score that may not even eventuate down the track?
Say you do cop an 8 AE from him say in Round 24 instead of a 40 odd from your next best player but got his 60 (could be less, could be more) over the last 2 bye rounds.
Only way I wouldn't do it is if it affects your loopholes in the next fortnight having 18 in a round. Even then I think I'd still get him for numbers.
I feel like we haven't interacted in a very long time. Thanks SI!

Thinking about a luxury RTS to Mansour trade. 10 trades left, very tempting.

Get rid of Suli mate. Turbo is a good trade in for a starting centre spot

8 trades is good mate.
Wil you be able to, or want to, get him into your Centres at some stage after this week? He is the highest averaging Centre bar 2 game Scott, so yes, good enough for final 17.
The Warriors hoodoo in Perth is real and yes, it will be wet here. Unfortunately a mate rang 5 minutes before lockout yesterday and I had the C on Manners from last week

manners should still be all good mate.
I think I'll play Cotric over RTS if I don't trade him.

Here's my dilemma. I have 5 trades so which option do you like:
(a) Use 2 trades to get Cleary (Klokstad out, Whare in & Lamb out, Cleary in). If I got him I would play him over C. Walker & shift Munster to wfb or
(b) be prudent, save the trades & just play C. Walker
Current team:
McInnes (B. Smith)
Fifita, Wallace, N. Brown (Tualau)
Surgess, Gallen, Crichton, Taumalolo, Taupau, Elliot
SJ, Munster (Lamb, Field)
Croker, Fui (Mitchell, Kelly)
Edwards, RTS, C. Walker (Klokstad, Sami)

Yeah to be honest Surgess was a bit scary and Crichtonne I feel is due a 40 odd. I am also Camless but wouldn't have chosen him anyway. JDB rumours have gone away so not sure if there was anything in them.
The weather should suit tackle bots.

Thanks, mate. Yep the centres are concerning hence I've got Hayne ready to jump in there if need be.
Walker to Pearce is the obvious one.... I'm also thinking RTS to Rapana or someone like that but probably a bit sideways too.
Might hang onto that cash and last trade and just have 5 trades spare for the run home.

That is a dilemma. I am looking at Cleary in/Munster to WFB via Cotric cash out. I dont think I'd do it if it cost me 2 trades but just my take on it.
Cleary's base stats and no more byes outweighs the inconsistency and potential upcoming team changes. But for some reason I'm hesitant.
Are you bringing Cam back in later out of interest?

Never in doubt. I knew it, it was all fake news.
