He also got a 46.

Also nothing to stop him scoring tries. He's an absolute weapon and the Storm work both sides of the field equally well.

Anyone still keeping Niu ? At this stage I feel like I’m wasting a spot on him when I can flick him for someone like Curran

Was it you that had Aitken last year? Once he’s fit and dropped some price I’m probably gonna jump on that 40+ tackle busting train

Hey someone remembered!

Yeah Aitken is appealing but need a CTR now and already been burnt by a few cash outs so prefer a reliable option.

Is there still a bold call thread happening??

Should make good coin and play rd13. Anyone else rolling the dice?

I put him in my POD team but I’m not taking the risk in my main team.

Anyone thinking strategy around the potential for COVID effected rounds (ie; holding a trade for later in the round) or just wait and see for now?

For the Capewell owners:
Kurt Capewell will play tomorrow night against Cronulla, with Penrith happy with how he got through Wednesday night training.

Latest from Penrith on the @AAPSport wire.

Is that 13/17 filter new as well? Amazing work.

Updated the BEs actually made quite a bit of difference. Cleary at 101. Maybe loses a little more cash this week.

Yeah added that, was going to add a bit more functionality around that page to filter easily by position/etc (you can acutally just type "CTR" into the search bar and it will just show all CTR's... but just some buttons to make it more obvious.

[quote="Liverpool_Bulldog"]I think I’m getting Bird this week. That was unexpected haha[/quote
Funny how things can be so different in various teams, I am trading Bird out this week. Have Peachey and Niukore at Center and want the Bird money for upgrades to Mann and Starling.

Considering I had Roberts, these numbers are like diamonds to me, there’s no other centre that guarantees a base of 30 anyway

Broncos halves have coin goats written all over it. Plus, you’d have to cheer for a broncos player/team success. Is that what you really want?

Yeah you're not wrong.. cash cow options are pretty slim atm

Daily Tele have a click bait headline about watsons new role, any ideas??

Also, didn’t he get a fair whack in the ribs last week?

Total guess but maybe half instead of Crossland

NSW having some restrictions from 5pm today until Monday, but not full-scale lockdowns like Perth and BrisVegas recently had.

Think it should be sweet for the footy.

I'm pretty happy I didn't go to the office today. It was due to shit weather but 50/50 I wouldn't have brought my mask. Now they are going to potentially fine people after 5pm maskless on transport. Sydney CBD chemists going to be swamped this arvo.

Trade A:
O'Sullivan -> Peachey
Niu -> Gamble
(Leaves 57k ITB, 21 trades left. Peachey to CTR with Averillo, Bird + Gamble to interchange with Schuster, Simpkins, Walker, Walsh, Utokimanu, Pap/Laurie [when fit])

Trade B:
O'Sullivan -> Curran
(Leaves 180k ITB, 22 trades left. Curran to interchange with Schuster, Simpkins, Walker, Walsh, Utokimanu, Pap/Laurie [when fit]).

Presumably 8 for round 13 BEFORE trades.

Lol 2 of them was just my trades so far which others have posted and most of the others i was talking to WT Winfield he was very kind in giving me some advice.

But whatever.......

TPJ and Burton are solid options this week for those looking for a punt.

TPJ's recent performances pass the eye test for mine. Seems to be really ripping in and is everywhere on the field in attack and defence. Saw an interview today where he spoke about fixing up his game with all the suspensions he's had in the last couple of years. Keeping that 80 min 2rf role will be key.

Burton looks like a beast out there playing on that left side and seeing alot of attacking opportunities. Could continue to knock out some big scores at centre and then play 1 or 2 games at halfback over the origin period. 4 game average of 64 playing in the halves, could be handy to play in the centres with those big booming kick metres as base stats. Only worry is his job security with Momo back soon but I reckon he keeps his spot on form.

Fantasy logic says there is value elsewhere with both guys but sometimes the eye test/gut feel trumps logic. IPap at the start of the year is a good example of this. Most people passed up on him with his awkward price.

Alright, which one would you pick?

Problem: Have $330k ITB and I need a CTR as I own Hampton, Roberts and Bird. Other issue is I have to play one of Simpkin and Stefano and loop the other with Leniu.

Option 1: 1 trade. Hampton > Averillo or Ramien (Sold Averillo, but thinking I will just suck it up and buy back. If it goes pear shaped, will pick up lomax when he's back). Would still need to play Simpkin and Stefano. Saves a trade

Option 2: 2 trades. Hampton/Niu > Averillo/Mann. Leave $41k in the bank and means I can drop one of Stefano/Simpkin out of the 17. Mann hopefully plays round 13 and will then be traded to a possible gun.

Option 3: 2 trades. Hampton/Niu > Cini/TPJ. Leaves $151k ITB. Have roberts, so if Cini is dropped for Roberts then I'm covered. Plan here would be to trade Cini to Lomax. Risk is Cini doesn't go up in value being on the wing. TPJ would provide further DPP cover as I have no cover for EDG.

I feel Opt 2 will provide the best scores over the next 4 - 5 weeks with Mann making a little more cash than TPJ, but TPJ does offer DPP.
