    What's the most trades we've had someone finish on?

    I've finished with a trade spare before but no more. Might end up with 2+ this year. :/


    Well this is my 4th year and till now I never had any spares left.

    I have 2 left but dont see it lasting 6 rounds.

    I barely cracked 900, shoutout to Fitzgibbon. Had him penciled in for 26-28 if coming off the bench, but was optimistic he'd be promoted to start.

    Pretty stock standard team for me now, except my CTRs Ramien and Holland. Lost my other POD Munster last week as I read he was out 4-6 weeks and used my last trade to turn him into Teddy.

    Now stuck with over 200k in the bank and broken Sua for the rest of the season Bang

    With 1 trade left my team will be:

    Taumalolo, Surgess, Martin
    Matterson, DCE
    Aitken, Hoppo
    Teddy, RTS, Mitchell

    Smith, McInnes, Farah, SJ
    Kikau, CWalker, WGraham, Holland

    Absolutely bonkers hahaha
    Silly to trade Ponga now but if you really want to tempt the fantasy gods get Dugan instead if hes named.

    Can anyone see TPJ's minutes increasing every game has his hamstring gets stronger and stronger? with Sua out long term and Gillett gone for the season could be a great 18th man at his current price if starting second row.

    Johnson is giving me the shits - don't know what to do with him. I'd only want to use 1 trade, and would need to play whoever I get for him (or play one of my 18-21: iPap, LaLewis, Isaako, Holland) - could afford anyone up to 700k, in any position.

    Hodgson or Munster maybe?

    What's Matterson priced at these days? Jazz Tevaga?

    I'd love to have him, but I can't see them risking him for too many more minutes personally.

    If he's out again I'll probably trade him to TTturbo or the like. With my trades, I can potentially trade him straight back in.

    Holland's done his job backing up. Smile

    I'd look at Matterson if I had the trades Soylent.

    Prices at 677 I think.

    SJ to Matterson is awfully tempting! SJ is in a big purple patch, doesn’t look like running the ball at all and his happy to pull a DCE and take the back seat behind his 5/8. Matterson is back to full health and back in the starting team plus with the Roosters run home there is a lot of easily winnable games there where the Roosters should have plenty of attacking opportunities. Matto should be good for 50+ a game and should outscore Johnson for the remainder of the year correct?

    The only thing that could affect Matterson is the black widow.

    With 4 trades, I wonder if MBye to TTurbo is worth a shot. MBye would have had a 25 ofd without the try. Not great signs for him the last two weeks.

    First thing I did, after the lockout was lifted, was to substitute back CS9 for Farah and apologize for taking the captaincy off him.

    Hope he forgives me for breaking the rule no 1.

    What role are you expecting for Matterson from here on? Seems a risk?

    Forgot about him too. Yeah, a lot of unknowns really.

    You reckon Matterson is locked in to start for the rest of the season? Who was originally named at lock for them this week? Is Radley ahead of Matto in terms of backrowers?

    Liu was at lock and has been all season I think. Radley shifted to lock yesterday and Matterson came onto the edge.

    I thought the last two games its been pretty clear he has lost his starting spot (for now). Radley appears to be preferred. Back row of Liu, Radley and Cordner.

    Does any one anticipate TLT surprise this week? Don't think I saw any injuries to relevant players or suspensions.

    Liu is originally Lock; however, he was rested just to freshen him up for the back end of the year - Robbo
