I got 337k with 5 trades left should I make trades this week or wait to round 20 and trade MDZ to Mansour?

Welcome to the 5 trade club mate. I would do that trade this week. I'm using 1 trade as well = B. Smith out & King in.

Munster and Hunt confirmed in

From nrl.com

The Queensland Maroons have called in Storm pivot Cameron Munster and Broncos halfback Ben Hunt for next week's State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium.

Munster and Hunt replace injured Maroons stars Darius Boyd and Johnathan Thurston, with Munster set to start in the centres and Hunt expected to come off the bench with Michael Morgan likely to slot into the starting side.

I'd be more looking to upgrade Fui after the bye rounds. $337k can turn him into Fifita via Brown or Taupau then you have the added flexibility of Taupau/Brown switcheroo if you need it.

RTS, Slater and Hayne all potential keepers in WFB. Not sure why you need a fourth.

Thanks sounds good I will get Fifita via Fui.

Is Kapow still a must have?

My team at the moment;

McInnes Brailey
Brown Fifita Kaufusi Yates
Surgess Tolo JDB Crichton Elliot Fui
SJ Cleary Lolohea Laybutt
Croker SMat Cotric Kelly
RTS Slater Munster Edwards Semi

111K and 10 trades. Looking at Walker maybe for RTS or Lolohea and wondering if I get Kapow this week or hold out til next week. Only have 11 players pre trades. Finding it hard to let Cotric go also. Any ideas?

When will we know if TTurbo will come into origin side or not

He hasn't been picked in the 17 but he's probably in the extended squad. I don't think he'll play.

Will only have 10 for this week but only 3 trades left so I probably just have to cop it on the chin right?

Smith McInnes
Fifita Brown Eisenhuth Fai
Taumalolo Taupau JDB Surgess Gallen Crichton
SJ Munster NuBrown Hampton
BJ Fuimaono Scott Kelly
RTS Edwards Mansour Hayne Phythian

Any trades I should consider this week?

Is Chichton a good pick for captain or N Brown, Taupau or Curtis Scott

he won't unless theres an injury at training. will probably come into the squad as cover after manly play on teh weekend.

Probably any of the first three in the order you have them written as order of preference.

If you can use the VC loophole then VC someone playing Friday night (ie; Crichton) and then captain Taupau/NBrown.

If Crichton scores well, loophole to double his score.

Back to your trade situation, if you have four trades after next week that's four trades for eight remaining rounds.
That's one trade every two weeks.

For me personally, if it wasn't for his byes I'd get Mannering over Kapow. I got Kapow last week, for a shite return might I add, but he does play this round where Mannering doesn't.

So if it's a R19 trade, I'd get Mannering.

What are Graham owners doing with him? Ive had him since Round 1 and the -$188,000 next to his name is depressing but i know i need to trade him out. Logical reasoning is to go with taupau but he's due for a price drop this week (BE of 79) so if wait another week, i can get him a bit cheaper. With only 7 trades left, any trades i make will stay. Also, with no DDP in my 2nd row, im restricted to FRF guns only, not ideal.

I'll only have about 11 players Chewie so I wouldn't congratulate me just yet.

Will get Fifita round 20 hopefully he'll lose some cash and Fui will gain some.

I thought you had 14 ???

I binned him for Taupau last week. Graham, jeez what a woeful trade in that ended up. I had him for 5 rounds total, with three scores - 18, 40 & 44.

I mentioned this last night- since round 12, these are the gun forwards i've traded in, and their first week scores as part of my team.

Graham 18
Surgess 42
Taumalolo 38
Fifita 43
Taupau 32

I have traded in Nathan Brown this week. Sorry guys.

Tedesco has also been a fucking dickhead since I got him. Actually, started well with a 61 in round 13. Then a 46 the next game, and hasn't played since.. So I've gotten 107 out of him in 5 rounds. Well six, as he doesn't play this week either.
