    My only concern is when's it ok to be tradeless?

    I've been treadless since round 18 I think. It hasn't hurt me so far..... (famous last words haha).

    This week looks like it could be the first challenge since Origin. Although most of the guys with a question mark appear to be suiting up (Taupua, Ponga, Arrow etc). And while Tolo taking the plea hurts a little its manageable compared to if he got suspended for 2 weeks.

    So what's the story with the league tab. I'm sure last year they used the flow chart style for the play offs. When I look at the leagues fixtures now you have no idea if you're playing or not & have no idea who you will play in the lead up to the league final if you make it that far.

    It's another improvement introduced by the new design team at Fanhub. It's like the winner of Australian Survivor, it's been known for 20 weeks they have just held it back for the big suprise reveal. On the positive side people have already started dropping off and not playing and even fewer people focus on H2H so less complaints to ignore.

    Is it silly to be using my last trade on Lolo to JTrbo? I could just play Isaako/Lewis this week to cover him for 1 week and hold the trade.

    Current team is:

    Cook
    Arrow Fifita
    Martin Hess Lolo
    SJ ARey
    Teddy RTS Ponga
    Smith McInnes Taupau Farah

    Isaako Lewis Doueihi Reddot

    Looks like Zora is in a good place to strengthen the number 1 position with Lolo out this week, he has some solid cover. We can't have a non ff member nab the win in the last couple rounds.

    @fraser try see what the guy above you has, seems a bit side ways unless it’s going to give you a significant advantage over him. We both slowly making ground on.

    Fwiw I’ll probably use my last trade and go Alvaro to chricton or Farah to tauapu

    Why are people worried about holding their last trade ? For what ? An extra 10 points in round 25 ? If you don't have coverage you aint gonna get it between now and then. If your side aint set you aint in contention. Perfect time to bring in a cow with clubs out of contention blooding rookies.

    Yeah your right, that seems like a much better approach. Cheers mate.

    To some degree i agree with this; however, for those with a set team its the decision of who the hell to trade out for these cows.

    Isaako plays in the first game so you get a free look at him.
    If he scores well hang on to Lolo and get Isaako’s score.
    If he doesn’t score well, make the trade.

    TPJ starting in the 2fr. Does playing Souths & his injury problems make him too much of a risk even though he will play 80 minutes on the edge.

    I really want to bring in a dual 2rf/frf for Alvaro. But, they only two I can afford are surgess or papas.

    Unless I go Farah to Taupau.

    Leaning towards Farah option. He won’t play raiders every week. Gives me more coverage. Will mean I need to play either rapana or fainu each week thiugh.

    Will he play 80 though? Fifita has spent time on the edge, Sims has spent time on the edge. With the Broncos bench it seems he might even spend time in the middle? Offa plays lock and some minutes in the middle. Sims spends time in the middle. So they need to rotate the Forwards between Lodge, Thaiday, Sims? TPJ will probably see some of that time also

    So Ben Stokes found not guilty surprise surprise. We all know there's 1 law for the rich & another law for the poor. The rich can afford the best legal team whereas the poor get given incompetent court appointed lawyers who couldn't give a toss about you.

    Cows are basically useless now. Theres no time for them to make any money and even if they did who has trades to cash them out and use the profits? You may get lucky and find one that scores well but can you trust them enough to play them in your 17 when everyone is putting up 950's at this point in the season.

    Yeah, Zora is looking so strong.

    I made some bad calls earlier in the season and will pay for it over these final rounds. A hell of a ride though.

    A big score from Brimson would be appreciated Very Happy
