Averillo - any concern about R Smith at 20 or Lafai joining the Dogs? I know you're short a CTR but I'd be tempted just to cop the zero for one week.

Starling I'm 50/50 - decent scorer in 14-17 and should make cash. But with low trades and being a HOK you might end up stuck with a useless 18-21 player for the season very early.

Appreciate your in a tough spot and there are no perfect options, going to have to take a punt.

Plan Going Forward:

The team with Boyd has Lomax and Crichton as CTR
Darius just chillin' in their emergencies

HEAVYHITTAZ at rank 784

I’m just concerned I’ll drop 200 places or so by playing with 16.

I need to get rid of Magoulias so I feel Starling is a good choice.

Then I’ve got Dudson Young as well who has really pissed me off. I’m scratching my head.

Just read off a Souths forum that Koloamatangi could be coming in for Mago. This makes me wonder if Sironen will indeed still play some middle mins as well.

Souths bench this week could be:

Nicholls (middle)
Sele (middle)
Johns (second row)
Koloamatangi (2nd row)

No idea what Wayne is up to lol and it’s annoying me.

Averillo can cover the whole backline positions and Dogs fans seemed pissed that he wasn't in last week over Montoya. I don't think his JS is an issue

CM13

Lomax Talau

Grant Hetherington Luai Young

Koro Hammer Herbie Niu

11 trades and 51K

Thinking;

Young - Siro
Luai - Hunt

Gives me a backup half on the bench in the 14-17 yet playing hooker and Siro hopefully can be a better scorer than Young.  Not sure if it's worth missing Hunt and getting Ponga instead and run without half cover??

FWIW the week I played with 15 I went up places. Last week with 17 I went back a looooong way.

Another way to look at it - last week how did you do if you replace either CTR score with a zero?

It's not going to be your 17th player that costs you a couple of hundred places, it'll be if a few of your guns having an off week.

Say I play with 16 and then Latrell is back next week then I still don’t have centre cover and my only backs cover is Hammer at WFB, is this an issue?

12 Trades and 92K in the bank. Team before trades sits at:

Grant
Haas Carrigan
Matterson Lucy Lolo
DCE Cleary
Lomax Crichton
Ponga Papy HTF

Young Butcher Luai Farnsworth
Niu Angus Fermor Koro

I can field a 17 this week, with no confidence; however, I feel if I sit on this I could fall behind where others are trading Angus to the likes of Cook, Tevaga, Hunt, Bateman and either gaining ground or putting a gap on me.

I have the same trade in targets as others: Asi, Sironen, Hunt, Tevaga… I think out of those Sironen is a must have (>300K, starting 2RF and the best JS)

Not sure what to do with Niu/Fermor neither have made enough cash to warrant a cash out and I don’t want to trade Young/Luai because they are playable green dots and still with the opportunity to make more money.

Then there is Angus – already down to 3.9% ownership before the weekend. So hoping he is only out for about 2 weeks could be a massive POD putting up BIG scores for the run home.

Any advice/thoughts/trade plans would be much appreciated.

BOLD PREDICTION:

Hammer turned a corner last weekend and learnt how to play footy at NRL level. Will average 40+ from here on!

KingTeddy wrote:Lads this is my team right now (used my 2 trades this week) in which I went Robson to Hunt and Fog to Averillo. I have 9 trades left and 500k ITB. Next week I am planning on moving on Young and Paix but I am not sure who to get. Would it be better to get a gun like matto then Sironen for Paix, or get like 2 cheaper options like N.Brown and Taupau?

Koro
Haas Mofo
Lolo Young Carrigan
DCE Cleary
Averillo Critta
Ted Pap Ponga

Macca Grant Hunt Paix

Nofo is killing it mate plus with Teddy Ponga isn't uber urgent. Siro and Hunt set your bench up nicely. Just hope Hammer, Herbie and Siro can make some cash so with 9 trades left can make a couple last ditch movies to solidify your squad

Get Teddy ASAP mate.  Great team.  Tempted to get Siro and Teddy this week mate.  Would be tempted to ditch Angus for him if need be.

Would you rather trade out Butcher or Young as the other one?

EDIT: The more I think about it. I might wait another week on Tevaga. See how he goes this week. If he gets a big score he won't go up by more than 20-30K
