Crazy to bring in Jake Turbo with only 2 games until he goes off to play origin?
I had planned to bring him in round 14, but he could be 900k by then.

Murray/Maloney to JTurbo/Lamb for me, as much as Newcastle halves scare me after the Cogger blunder

If I get Lamb then I'll have Coggar and Lamb so win win until Pearce returns.

I wondering if skipping Fifita and going JTurbo is more beneficial also. I don't like the thought of bringing in a player that expensive not playing round 13. Probably stupid I know.

Picking Taumalolo over JTrbo was a mistake (and I had a feeling I was going the wrong way when I made the trade, what can you do)

No one could predict Trbo scoring a double

Initial reports are Blake Austin avoided a fracture but suffered a mid grade high ankle sprain. Usually 4-6 weeks recovery

Not convinced he'll be worth bringing in, but Gallen is probably going to be cheaper than Havili come round 13.

You are likely paying overs for Fifita and on the moneyish for JTurbo.

Depends on how much bank you have and any leeway you have in making a final 17 if you are paying top dollar all the time. Other than that Fifita plays one more game then Turbo so yeah..... this hasn't been helpful has it?

I wonder how far Sam Williams is away. Hingano to half and 70-80 minute Havilli until then sounds good.

You kind of want both in your team at the end really, but even though Fifita will have reduced minutes when the rest of the troops come back, he's still scoring over 80 points with no tries. I think he's still worth the price tag, but only just. If Smith avoids suspension somehow and Arrow is back, I can get Fifita easily and it's happy days.

Considering Maloney to Reynolds hmm.

Got 520k in the bank and the team looks like this;

Cook
Kikau, Fifita
Jturbo, Lolo, Matterson
DCE, Walker
Mitchell, Aitken
Fonua, Thompson, Ponga

Rein, RFM, Martin, JMK

Nicholls, Sorenson, Godinet, Isaako

Who are good trade-ins? McCullough? Yeo (if put to centre after rnd12), Tedesco? Hess? Crighton? Koro?

Feedback appreciaed thanks guys

Gun forward pack mate. Rein and JMK I'd say are the ones you need to look at, although your bench definitely needs attention. Could spend some on going one of your EMG to a back by the looks. maybe look at Turbo or even MBye at his price.

Rein to Macca though sure is tempting. Or acually, get another forward if you want Tolo via Matterson and Walker.

Initial trades

Rein to Macca and Nicholls to Lamb with 3k to spare.

Lovely jubbly

Lone scout on twitter is saying that the NRL app is rounding RM and KM differently, which is causing the discrepancies and the NRLF scores are correct

907 this round, happy with that! I’m way out of contention but it’d be great to claw back as much as I can haha.

Initial trades: Griffin > Martin, Murray > DCE. Gives me a bit of cash to bring back Arrow next week, unless he goes gangbusters. Now I’ve said that then yeah, that’ll happen! I could potentially hold Murray and trade RFM instead, using the other to trade in Arrow next week.

I think he played for the Mounties this week?

Pretty sure Murray has to go unfortunately, and I don’t trust Maloney to keep his value with Cleary back. Thanks for it all, now gettttt out.

Can get any half and any other player I want for them. Feel spoiled for choice. Probably have to go Matterson, despite his high BE. For the second player, the safe choice is Tlolo. Maybe JTurbo, except Origin is so soon.

Kinda thinking Crichton though. He was so good today and he’s very attractive price.

For anyone trading DCE in - away to Melbourne this week, surely not a good idea to trade in or get him anyway as a season keeper and cop the possible lowish score this week?

I want to get him btw.

Maloney and Rein to McCullough and Surgess for me. Thanks for the memories but it's time for some keepers
