Same trade popped into my mind yesterday. I don't mind it. Peach is a target at some point anyway.

Makes sense with Fui just sitting there getting 35s. Don't trust Rapana, Gagai etc.

Not bad if you have no cover currently.

Cover for CTR? I have Averillo too if he counts.

Then with Niu back to EMG you can cash out Avo when something comes along.

This is my current team for the week after trades, 96k itb
Happy with this, can sit tight now for a few weeks if I get lucky with injuries

Turpin
Taukeiaho Tino Watson
Fifita Riki
Cleary (c) Schuster
Bird Roberts
Tedesco Papenhuyzen Laurie

Brailey
Egan
Liddle
Kenny

O'Sullivan
SWalker
Ah Mau
Niu

Now just have to decide to play some halves again this week over Kenny/Schuster
Hopefully Schuster can hold his role for a while and get 2RF DPP giving me cover for all positions
Coin flip so the least of my worries this week

That said I'm still leaning Tino. Didn't start with him but after round 1's mins I was worried as a non owner. Think he's ripe to pump out a few more big scores over the coming weeks, just don't like it as its another origin player, but origin is 9 games away.

I hear you. I started with and held on mins, I see big scores coming regularly now. Origin is the crux.

That's a big kicker with Tino but as you said, Origin a while away. I'm certainly now tempted to knee jerk and turn Leniu back into him.

Is bringing in Walker worth losing Niu or Reimis who are both fit and playing? Yet again I have 21 green dots and feel like I’m forcing it?

Yeah that's what I was thinking and they don't have to have CTR

I'd say Niu probably not but Remis yes.

If I didn’t have 400k burning a hole in my pocket I would probably save trades this week, but I’m going to go Leniu to Moses. Leaves me with:

JBrailey
Tino, Watson, Welch
Riki, Fifita
Moses, Cleary
Bird, Roberts
Pap, Tedesco, Laurie

Capewell, Turpin, Schuster, Liddle
SOS, Stefano, Niu, Walker

Feel like I have all the good cows and a decent team at this point

Yeah thought I would chuck up an alternative to Reimis.
Think it makes sense haha

I've been pecking through all my teams just looking for a trade, but I think that across all my teams (FOG, H2H, Auto-Fill, Supercoach and VSDT) the only trade I'm going to make this week is to fix up a couple of issues with my Auto-Fill team. I have plodders across the board in all teams but no one in danger of dropping big coin (HIA and injuries pending).

My FOG team has no Walker but no obvious route to bring him in this week. Hate to do it, but I'll see how this week plays out and pick him up next week for the week's biggest loser.

Neither Supercoach or VSDT have Walker either, but again, no route whatsoever to bring him in, so hopefully something pops up before next week's price rises. I have dud FRF/2RF guys but all cheap and no one better to bring in.

Anyway, this is all no doubt very boring info to all, but the moral of the story is it looks like it's going to be a pretty trade free week for I.

It is Podcast Ear Smash Day, though, so I'll see if I get swayed or tempted before lockout.

I'm in a similar scenario with my FOG team. Hate watching the price rises go up, but he'll still be cheap next week and maybe there's an obvious replacement option then (injury / dud cow score etc).

Love that trade mate

For a sanity check to see if I'm on the right track for the guys I have that are here to make $$ (is my first year of fantasy)

Fuimaono - Hold for a couple of weeks then trade for someone cheaper to start making money again
Watson - Keep forever?
Riki - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $600k
Townsend - Keep until SJ returns then trade for someone like Moses
Laurie - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $550k
Brailey - Keep forever
Liddle - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $550k
Schuster - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $550k unless benched then trade for someone cheaper to start making money again
Walker - Wait and see over next few weeks
Leniu - Watch and hope minutes go up in next couple of weeks otherwise trade for someone cheaper to start making money again
Uto - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $450k
Niu - Keep for now and revisit when he hits $400k
Simonsson - Not doing anything, trade this week for someone like SOS

Sad news, Tommy Raudonikis has passed away.

Pretty much spot on. Nobody's an urgent trade but Simonsson can certainly be traded to a better money maker. Leniu is also a good trade out option for when someone cheap pops up.

He was so good to watch, especially against the poms.
Really tough bugger he was.

Ah wow such a shame, how was he in his last days or months ? I missed anything if he was sick etc ?


Edit: of course I totally forgot, he has been battling cancer.

Have I missed anything for the last 20 pages?

Jensen being dropped is very annoying. Will hold him this week to see how things go! With cows playing late he can be a chance to loop Leniu and Stefano/Moylan.
