Yeah 100% mate. It will open up a bit though once R13 is over, with Sharks, Dogs & Tigers players covering the other 2 major byes. Will rely on Reps backing up though, to fill sides a few weeks though I think.

.
Thanks for the R12 BE's Milch.

Lockout over

Delta and WL still 1/2 at the top
Arsen and Pacey still up there as well. I moved from 20th to 16th

Lots of good teams out there, you need to be getting 1000+ to gain any ranks at the top

.
Good to see so many from the forum doing so well in VSDT.

Good to see you doing well in VSDT Arsen. Are you playing SC and/or NRLF too?

Hey mate! Yeah im playing all 3 formats in NRL & AFL. Bit of a nightmare trying to juggle all 6 teams tbh. Going very average in a few though. I'm 11th in NRLDT & 82nd in AFLDT atm. And about 1400th in AFLSC. So top 1% in those 3, but the rest not worth the time or effort given ive had poor starts, so just winging it in those from now on.

Scary scores out there. Targeting top 100 personally after a poor start. Well done to everyone smashing it though, great to see!

On another note, which of these trades would you think is more pressing?
Preston - Luki
Cook - JMK

Leaning towards the first one, but want JMK for next week too so very much torn

i notice manu is now dpp hlf/ctr...haven't been that active this year so were there any other player positional changes, cheers.

trades are very tricky this week for me trying to sort out rd. 13 i want to beef up my 2fr getting rid of hosking but warriors bye & eels back row too much uncertainty which of hopgood & matterson wil play origin & joe o. moving from wests to eels could impact hopgoods mins. i'm leaning towards holding hosking this week & wear lower mins/score so i can move him to tohu next week. atm my only trade is hss to billy smith for the cash injection as this is his 3rd game & could go large v dragons. i'm not convinced with luki his scores seem very up & down & l. leilua not guilty could affect him rd. 13 then after that nanai will be back from suspension.

milcy you are a champion bro much appreciated

This week I am trading Hosking to HEdwards

and someone (Perham/HTF) to Billy Smith. If HTF was guaranteed origin I'd trade him, but might ditch Perham instead.


Gives me heaps of cash to get some keepers in - just organising it around origin/byes

I've done your second trade as one of 3 trades this week. I'm staying away from Luki and Preston has reasonable byes after round 13 (not that I have him).

Go White Lighting with C Cleary.

For those with vc on Cleary, would you loop?

Someone like HTF, Bula, Warbrick, Alamoti as AE

So can you explain how to loop here? Talau the one.
Can't believe it's worth not worth having Hynes.

Put a non playing player into your team, and captain them (probably Joey Manu in your case, drop maybe Billy Smith)  then Cleary will get his score doubled and you'll get an AE for Manu - the downside being that instead of getting Smith's score you will get the lowest positive score from your NPRs

So if Sele or Talau put up a 6 or something silly, then you'll get that score, and it may not be worth the bonus of getting Cleary's score doubled.

with no hynes in my team i'm fortunate that cleary has been putting in & saving my butt big time

I thought AE in this platform is just your lowest scorer, position doesn't matter. Any way I'm looping
