I have $3k in the bank., so if Ilose JBrom my best bet is Josh McGuire - which opens up DPP swaps with NBrown to give a bit more flexibility.

Only 3 weeks left after this one though - its almost time to spend the trade and hope rather than wait for an injury that might never occur

Pretty reasonable depth there too, mate.

LATEST: Loose carry from me. Ben Hampton will move into @nthqldcowboys halves with TMM out, P Mago to debut. K Laybutt not playing @FOXNRL

Pretty sure he just guesses most of the time...

I personally think you lose more points having to cover a potential injury in the forwards rather then covering Munsters. If Munster plays next week which is very likely and Surgess doesn't recover or gets rested for the season then you're gonna wish you had that one trade left for the forwards

hahahaha I remember Gramsy!

Nah there was a guy who actually worked for one of the papers. There was footage of him trying to get Maccas to JT after his release from the cells one morning in Brisbane.

I want to say his username started with s but I don't quite remember. Decent bloke too.

I didn't realise there was another journo besides Gramsy. I remember he wrote a big anti-Jonathon Brown thing after Browny suggested on the radio that people who do cloud chasing are saaaaaad losers and need a new hobby. :lol:

If I remember Sportal correctly, towards the end, Gramsy and this mystery "s" character were probably the only journos on the site, forum or otherwise.

The guy who tried to get Maccas for JT.

Gramsy was/is. Not sure about the Maccas for JT though....?

Gramsy!  Fucken hell.

There was a journo from Bathurst as well I think, but that wasn't Gramsy23 I don't think, must have been another one.

I honestly thought OSM was a Journo for some reason.

Nah, I'm not a journo mate, but appreciate the compliment 

I was actually a whisker away from doing Journalism though, but went to Science instead.

Hi, I'm Hannah. Remember me, anyone? I'm back for some Supercoach advice if anyone has the time. I'd like to at least survive this weekend, as I did so badly with the NRL Fantasy!
I have heaps of trades left, and have already used one this round. I have $97 700 in bank. I was aiming to trade Milford for someone, but who? Everyone seems to have Widdop, but I have a few Dragon's players, and they are inconsistent, I'm worried that if i have Widdop too, I may be too dependent on their success.
Any other ideas?
My team:
Smith McInnes
Gallen Fifita Vaughan Finucane
Mannering Surgess Taumalolo Brown CHN nuffie
DCE Milford Cornish Lino
Crichton T Trboj D Edwards N Mcdonald Munster Fuimaono nuffie
Dufty Hayne

Mate, these days, you don't need to "do" journalism. Just write a blog and add it to your resume.

True.  Back in my day a blog was something you left in a public toilet for the next poor basted.

Thanks, I'll think about what else I could do with the extra money.

I did the exact SC trade (Milf > Moses) when Gutho went down and its paid divvies so far. Ive had terrible luck with injuries this year though, so beware my bad juju

Upgrade Nene Macdonald as ideally you need a decent CTR to play whilst Munster is out

PS welcome back Hannah

And next week put a bullet into Hayne.

Trade him out of your SC side aswell, free up some coin.

Another who has Surgess and Munster,if neither are playing next week and possibly beyond who should I trade? Just have the one trade,just trade Munster to Teddy and be done with it?

Depends who you have to stand in for Surgess if you punt Munster (and vice versa)

Yeah It was snowy, also Gramsy moved up north chasing something other then weather if ya get my drift.
